Chapter 30

Krisha's POV:

            The darkness of the night sky was calm and serene. The stars studded over the sky was twinkling brightly. It was more like they were smiling and making fun of me. "Look at you Krisha you are pathetic.... Hahahah!"

            There are times in my life when I felt immense happiness, fear, sadness etc. But that day it was different. I felt empty.

      I had nothing to lose or nothing to hold on.

      I didn't know, not even a single tear left my eyes, my brain started sleeping and my heart was tired.

           "Then why don't you rest and stop beating?" I mentally questioned my heart.

              Lying on my building terras I was looking at the dark sky relating it with my life.

   " My husband didn't want me anymore, my son... he left me and went with his father. Why am I even surviving? For whom I should live? No one is gonna cry for me if I die. Not my parents, not my love. No one. Why am I even living and crying for everyone in my life. I think it's time for me to explore another world. It's time to end all my pains and tears forever. "I went close to the railing and carefully climbed to the edge but before I could fall down, a strong pair of hands held me. I was pulled back from the railing.

             He raised his hand to slap me but stopped mid air "shit.." He cursed and ran his hands through his hair.

           "You always managed to break my trust and good opinion over you. But this... I least expected this. Coward. " hissed Srini uncle with bloodshot eyes.

               "You don't have to think about anyone but how could you forget the little soul you gave birth? Will that small and delicate heart would be able to bare his mother's death? What will Aarav do without you in such an young age you careless women." He yelled badly making me flinch and guilty at the same moment.

          How did I forget about my son's condition? I was so angry that I couldn't forgive myself.

             "You know what Krisha one should be bold enough to face the challenges in life and overcome all the obstacles. What you did for my son was unforgivable but you shouldn't give up. You should fight for your life and for your son. " his words were like a small light illuminating my path of life filled with darkness.

          "You are always a selfish, self-centered girl I ever knew but today you stooped low. Don't you have any sense?" He yelled badly.

            "Stop scolding her Srini." Shouted Urmila ma.

             "Urmi.." The moment he saw Urmi ma his face softened and eyes melted.

            "Stop scolding her unnecessarily Srini, why do you hate her so much?" Urmi ma screed at his face.

               "Urmi... You don't I have any idea what this girl did moments ago. She was about to fall.." He tried to explain but Urmima didn't let him complete.

             "Where is Aarav? Why didn't you bring him?" She questioned Srini uncle.

             Srini uncle glared at both of us and left a deep breath, grabbing our wrist he dragged both of us to the parking giving deaf ears to all our protests.

       Srini uncle pushed both of us inside and then ignited the engine.

             "Srini idiot I'll kill you. Stop the car.... I said stop the car.. Srini drop us back home. I didn't even lock my house. " aunty was shrilling.

        "I'll get that handled." Told uncle and spoke to someone over his phone while I was dumbstruck and shocked.

       Once we reached his place he dragged both of us inside his house there was my Aarav weeping badly rubbing his eyes with his delicate palm sitting on his dad's lap. The moment he saw me he came running to me and I took him in my arms.

        "My love.... " I hugged him tight and kissed him all over his face. "Youv arle cho bad.. Youv levft me. Whvy divdn't youv covme herve? I was waivting fovr youv." He told me still crying.

         "Daddy... You left me and came here with you daddy. I was in our house only. " I told him narrowing his eyes he didn't answer instead circled his arms around my shoulder and hurried his face into my neck.

            I was rubbing his back just when I heard Adith " This is Aarav's home my son belong with you. If you want my son you have to stay here because he'll not come to that small petty apartment anymore. Get that clear. " he spoke to me in a deadly low tone.

             "Say another word... I'll break your face Adi. Don't forget your mom is right here. You may grow old but you are still my son. You don't have any rights to order Krisha. " told Urmila ma.

                "Why are you taking her side always mom. At least for once in life stand with me I'm your son and I want my son Aarav." Adith roared.

           Aarav started crying badly in my arms "why allv arve chouting...(shouting) Pleash don't chite(fight)" told my baby.

          All our attention turned towards my baby boy and we decided to discuss things later. "No no daddy we are not fighting. Stop crying." I hugged him close to my heart Adi came close to us and rubbed Aarav's back.

             I took him upstairs to one of the room and gave him a bath, Aarav was still on his foul mood and hugged me like no tomorrow. I realized what kind of a worst mother I was to commit suicide leaving my baby boy behind.

            We descended down the stairs and I saw Urmima sitting on the couch angrily. Srini uncle called us for the dinner, I pleaded Urmima and dragged her towards the dining table.

         "What the hell is this? Who made dinner? You call it coconut chutney?" Yelled Urmima showing the bowl of chutney.

               "Stop exaggerating Urmila... It's not that bad." Uncle tried to sound confident and that brought a smile on my face. I tried to hide it when I saw Adith glaring at me.

           "I'm not eating this... Don't feed this food to Aarav Krisha wait for me. " with that she went into the kitchen and started making her signature Sambar and coconut chutney.

       After an hour the whole house filled with her delicious aroma of food, I noticed the sudden change in uncle and Adith's face. I started feeding idly to Aarav he was having with a full smile, he loves idly and sambar.

              "Thatha.. Eat eat... Paavti mavke chuper(super) sambar. Daddy eat... Pleash..." Aarav told Uncle and Adi.

          Both were hesitant at first later they started enjoying their food, Urmima was also equally happy feeding her husband and son after years. In a corner of my heart I felt I separated a family, uncle was right I was a selfish.

            I fed Aarav and ate in the same plate. He was crying while having his tablets he didn't like tablets. I had to hide it inside a banana and feed him.

      Mother... A very tough job.

                 We have to be innovative to feed our children at the same time make them happy. Adi took Aarav with him while Aunty and I went to the guest room, she started crying. I had to console her and make her sleep.

             Sleep was very far from me specially without my daddy boy. I was looking at the door for him and there came in my rock star.

               Aarav ran to the bed and jumped on my arms I tucked him inside my blanket and hugged him close to my heart to sleep. I saw Adith at the door step glaring at me , he closed the door with a thud and left the place.

             Well, he should not expect all the attention of his son in one day after all I raised Aarav up for three years, Adi knew him only for few days. He couldn't expect my son to spend all his time with him. My Aarav loves me so much more than he loves Adi that gives me a smile and a strange satisfaction.

    End of the day I was a mother.

              I slept hugging my boy, later I felt his absence in my arms when I opened my eyes I saw Adi picking him up and moving our of the room.

           "Adi what are you doing?" I asked him in a husky tone but no use. I followed him and went into his room.

              "What? I want to sleep with mg son so took him here what I'd your problem?" He asked me irritatedly in the same husky tone.

               "You don't know him. He will wake up in the middle and cry for me. " I tried to warn him.

               "Just get out of my room, leave me and my son alone. " he yelled waking Aarav.

           "Baby....baaaaby...." Aarav started crying I had to recline on his bed cuddling my boy. He was holding my neck tight. After few minutes Adi took his side and encircled his arms around Aarav kissing his cheek falling asleep.

              Was I sleeping with my husband and son on the same bed? It might not be a great deal for others but it's a dream for me. Dream to spend time with my Adi and Aarav. Pushing all the negative thoughts aside I slept experiencing my beautiful present.

Srinivas's POV:

             I couldn't sleep whole night when my love was crying in the next room. In the morning when I came out of my room I saw Urmila sitting on the living room couch thinking something. I had to talk to her.

                Making a hot cup of coffee for both of us I sat next to her when she was about to get up I grabbed her hand.

            "Urmi please..." I pleaded she sat without looking at my face.

              " I know things went out of our hands but don't you think there is still time to fix everything?" I asked her.

             "Fixing a broken heart is not so easy Srini." She told me.

                "But still I want to try at least for the sake of my grandson." I told her genuinely.

           "Ohhoooo... So you are so concerned about your grandson." She mocked. Without answering I grabbed her palm.

          "Don't touch me. Don't.... I left everything behind and came to you Srini... You promised me that you'll not leave my side whatever happens in our life. But you failed me." She said spilling tears making me super angry.

            "You chose Krisha over me Urmila. You left me for your brother's daughter. " I blamed her back.

             "My brother's daughter is your daughter in law and your son's wife. I expected you to come behind me and solve all the problems between our children." She yelled.

             "Krisha was wrong it was Adith's choice to punish her by the way you were so comfortable with your brother that you didn't turn up to your husband." I mocked her.

           "Say another word I'll break your face. I'm a women of my words I left my brother years back for you, how will I get back to him fighting with you. I have my self respect. " her eyes were blood red shocking the hell out of me.

            "You... I mean you and Krisha didn't go to Anand? That means where were you both for the past three years...?" I asked her in a dreadful tone.

            "My Krisha didn't leave me on the streets unlike you. She took care of me like her own mother. She might couldn't afford a luxurious life for me and Aarav but we were living with pride in a small house." Told Urmila with Adequacy and happiness breaking my heart.

                  I and Adi thought both these ladies got back to Anand unaware of the fact that they were living alone that too with my grandson. I was shattered with the fact that I left Urmi to fight her own demons.

         I should have checked on her, I should have controlled my anger. I should have gone to her without assuming things. Wiping my tears I went inside the guest room and saw my love weeping.

              Without wasting a second I hugged her from behind and started apologizing "I'm sorry Urmi... I'm so sorry... I don't know. Please forgive me my cashew cake."

                "Leave me idiot I'll kill you. Go back to your son don't come to me. Leave me. " she was busy pushing me.

          But I didn't leave her instead tightened my hug "Urmi you have grown fat, I can't hug you properly. " I teased her.

               "I'm going to kill you today." She slapped my arms. Someone giggled in the doorstep, it was my grandson.

          "Thatha... Whvat arve youv doving?" He came close to us.

           "I'm asking sorry to Urmi but she is not forgiving me Aarav." I complained to the little bundle of joy.

        "Paati chorgive thatha pleashhh..." With that he kissed her cheek. Slowly Urmi smiled.

           Slowly she pushed my hands and took Aarav in her arms. "Where is your mother? I can't find her?"

          "Daddy is huggving my baby and chleeping(seeping) in the rvoom." He said shocking both of us.

          "Seems your son fell on my daughter in law's leg it seems." Told Urmila.

            "No Urmi it's not that easy. Because our son Adi was hurt. And you know him." I told her and finally convinced her with the help of my grandson.

Vijay's POV:

              "What should I do now? How will I save my daughter from him Vijay?" Anand uncle asked me.

         "Don't worry uncle do what I say Krisha will definitely come back to you." I said few hopeful words to him.

            "I will do anything for my daughter." He told me, I exactly want that old man you are one of my major tool of destruction. Unknowingly you always hurt your daughter expecting her safety and that's my strength.

      "You are a fool Anand." I thought and smiled at him.

               "I always told you to wait for the right time uncle. This is the time, go and meet your daughter. Visit Krisha and Aarav and claim your right for them. It's high time out see your grandson Aarav uncle if not that Srinivas will score better as a grandfather. " I poured a little oil to fire.

           "I will not let that happen Vijay." He told me with popping nerves and left my house.

           " Go and create a havok in that Aduth's house Anand. I'm sure Adith will loose his calm after seeing you." I spoke at the closed door and laughed loudly to release my stress.

     Let's begin the new game...
