---------

I opened the doors for kids to come in. And to my surprise, everyone was on time. Wow! Kids these days really enjoy coming to school. Even though it's just Junior KG. I welcome every kid. And talking to their parents. I love how they get emotional seeing their kid grow up. I'll get emotional too.

At 8:00 AM the bell rang which means The class is started. So I go to close the door when I see a young boy with a kid.

"I'm scared Mamu. I'm scared what if no one is my friend"
The girl with pigtails said.

"Aww Amraya don't worry. Everyone will love you. You are the funniest person I know. Just be yourself"
The Young man said while consoling the girl. Who's the name I assume is Amraya?

She nodded and Apparently her Mamu asked her to kiss his cheeks. And She did. They both came towards me and he said,

"Hi!"

"Good Morning, I am the teacher"
I said and Introduced myself

"Aren't you too young to be a professor?"
He asked me

"Um wanted a job and loves kids. Add and you get a teacher"
I replied.

"Oh. This is my niece, Amraya. It's her first day. She is really close to me. Please make sure she feels comfortable"
He spoke.

"Don't worry ...."

"Abhishek"

"Yes. Don't worry Abhishek. She will be fine"
I assured him. And bend down to Amraya level and Continued,
"Come on in"

"If you really wanted to work, you could have gone into the modeling industry"
Abhishek said after Amraya went it.

"Excuse me?"

"No. I mean you are so beautiful, you have a model face. You would have rocked the world"
Abhishek continued.

"Thank you Mr. Abhishek for the compliment but I'm happy with my kids"

"Just Abhishek"

"Okay, Abhishek. I Have to go"
I said emphasizing Abhishek

-------

I took my Belgium waffle and sat down on the bench in the mall. The only time I got this week. the first week of School was hectic. Parents crying, kids crying, and everything. I was enjoying my waffle when I was interrupted by someone.

"Hello Professor"
Abhishek said as he approached me.
He was not in casuals this time. He was wearing proper formal clothes. suits I mean.

"Hi, Abhishek. And don't call me Professor"
I said as he came and sat beside me

"Shopping?"

"No. Just enjoying myself. What about you?"
I asked as the social convection dictates.

"Had a meeting"
He replied and there was silence between us.

"So whos the lucky guy?"
He asked.

"What?!"

"Come on. A beautiful girl like you can't be single"
He replied.

I know it's a cheesy and old line but I don't know how it brought me a smile.

"Believe it or not this girl has been single for the last 5 years"

"You are joking right?"

I shook my head for No.

"Date me," He said casually.

"Now you are joking"
I said and looked at my watch and got up.

"No. See Im attracted to you. I mean who wouldn't? be. Im a single handsome guy and you are a single beautiful girl, We are meant for found each other"
He said as he hold my wrist and stood up.

We were close. Too close. The last time I was this close to someone, my life changed and now I can't turn it back.

"Abhishek, you live in a fantasy world. A girl and A boy meet. They flirt and boom. They love each other but the reality is nothing like this. It's ruthless out there. I'm sorry"
I told him and started walking.

"You can recreate your fantasy in the real world, Professor. You just have to find the right person" Abhishek said but I kept walking.

-----

It's been a month since the whole Incident with Abhishek. He hasn't come to drop Amarya. In the last 5 years, I haven't thought of anyone other than him. But Abhishek changed it. Abhishek is so warm. His smile is bright and his voice is. I don't know much about him but still, it's enough to know that I am attracted to him.

Was Abhishek different than other guys?
Was Abhishek genuine?
Or was just flirting with me?
Will I just be a fling for him?

My thoughts were interrupted. When I hear the voice ask me,
"And we need again"

I look up to see the guy in my thoughts. Abhishek... I don't even know his full name.
Wow!
This relationship is not normal.

"May I?"
He asked referring to the sit beside me.

I nodded and he sat down and gave me a look with a smirk on his face.

"What?"
I asked.

"You were thinking about me, weren't you?"
He asked.

"What? No..."
I lied but he gave me his innocent face. How can anyone lie to that face?

"Okay. I was just thinking about where were you."
I continued.

"Awww. You were worried about me"
He said while putting his hand on his heart.
Dramatic.

"You were concerned about me. That means you care about me"
He continued.

"I'm not gonna answer that question"
I said as I turned straight and looked at the pond in front of me.

"It's okay to feel for someone who you just meet. People fall in love with just one look. They even fall in love with just writing emails. You know Mr. America and Pooja? Mujhe Dosti karogi?"
He spoke.

"Abhishek that's a movie. They exaggerated things"
I replied.

"Okay what about Priyanka and Nick"
He said but this time he shifted toward me a little more and put his hand on the bench behind me.

I turned to face him, and he was too close.
"It's not that easy for me"

As the wind came few of my hair strains flew forward him. So he slowly put them behind my ears and said,
"I know your past haunts you. But give me a chance and I'll prove you wrong about guys. I'll treat you the way you should be treated. Like a woman. Goddess. Princess. Just... One... Chance"
By the end, it look like he was pleading.

"Abhishek-"
I looked at the kids playing in the garden and I tried to speak but his phone stopped me.

It was an important call so he had to leave.
"It's important. So let's go on a date okay?"

"I can't. I don't have time"

"Professor"

"I'm not kidding. I'm sorry"

------

"Okay Gargi I'll see you tomorrow"
I said as Gargi one of those students who loves school.

I went back to class and sat down to have lunch. As I have another afternoon batch. Before I could open my lunch box, I hear a knock on the door. And it's none other than Well you know.

"May I come in professor?"
He ask as he stood there with his right hand in front acting as a kid. 

"Yes"
I said and he came in and sat in front of me.

"What are you doing here?"
I asked him

"You said you didn't have time. So during lunch, we can go on a date"
He said and gave me flowers.

"Abhishek I told-"

"Don't worry. Our date is here. We will just talk and eat"
He said and gave a flower again.

"Take it, Professor"
He said, so I took it.

"Let's know each. You ask"
He said.

"Your full name?"

"Abhishek Sharma"

Ohhh

"Yours?"

I answered mine.

"What do you exactly do?"
I asked.

"I run an investing company."

"Your favorite season?"
He asked.

I answered mine.

"You favorite Timepass?"
I asked

"I enjoy playing cricket"

"Your Favorite Player?"
He asked.

"I answered mine.

"Girlfriends?"
I asked.

"None. Surrounded by mom and sister. Been told to just be with the one you love"
He answered.

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Armaan-"
I stopped.
He tricked me.

"Abhi-"

"Please don't. I wasn't tricking you. It just slipped. I swear"
Abhishek started rambling.

"It's fine"

"I won't ask questions about you know who until and unless you are ready to tell me"
He spoke.

--------

It's been 2 months I think, Abhishek comes for Lunch twice or thrice a week. We talk, and we laugh. He makes some jokes, sometimes I understand and sometimes I don't.

He stays with his parents and sister. He has 2 sisters one is Amraya's mother and the other one is Doctor.
Smart Family.

He flirts with me and I do too. But nothing series. Maybe?
I don't know.

I feel incomplete when he doesn't visit me. He's visited our special part of my day. I sometimes wish if he had entered into my life a few years back then what would have happened?

Today was Parents Teacher meeting.
I had actually talked to every parent. Even Amraya's parents. They don't know about My and Abhishek's equation. I feel it's not my place to say anything.

It's almost 7:30 now. I close my locker and go out to see Abhishek standing there.
He was wearing a White T-shirt and had a Shirt over it. He was standing near his bike.
Bike?

"What are you doing here?"
I asked.

"I'm done with Lunch dates, now it's time for Dinner"
He said and tapped on his bike seat.

"Abhishek I can't. I have to go home"

"Professor it's already 8 and I just need 2 hours. Please"
He pleads.

I took a breath and said Yes.
To be honest, I wanted to go with him.

So sat on his bike. It felt weird. It felt like some 90's movie scene.
I kept both my hands behind me.

"Professor You can keep your hands on my shoulder"
Abhishek said while looking at me through the mirror.

And I follow what he told me. I put my hands on his shoulder.

Soon we reached the hotel. It was very cozy and nice. I excused myself to use the washroom.
When I came back, he had already ordered.
We eat our food and in between Abhishek kept holding his hand and rubbing his thumb over it.
That feeling is so... I can't describe it.

When we were driving back, it started raining. Wow!
Abhishek asked me if he should stop but I said no. I like rain.

When we reached my place, I got down, and Abhishek did too.

"You have no idea what effect you have on me"
Abhishek said as he hold my hand.

"Abhishek, you know if you would have entered my life 5-"

"No. We were meant to meet now. Not 5 years back. Not 5 years later. And I will always thank my star for that day when I saw you. You are the purpose of my life"
Abhishek confessed and came near me.

The rain had stopped but we were wet. When he came close to me I could still smell his perfume.

We were just a push apart. Our lips were touching but not moving.
And when Abhishek was about to take action, I stopped him by saying his name.

He looked at me and I said,
"Abhishek I like you. And I want to build this relationship with you. But before that, you should know my past. I insist"

Abhishek nodded. So I took his hand and told him to follow me.
I don't know how will he react. The whole lift ride we were holding hands and not talking. I entered my house.

"Thank You, Jasmine"
I said to Jasmine. She's my neighbor.

I was still holding Abhishek's hand. He was confused. I could see it on his face.

I opened my bedroom door and walked towards the bed, as Abhishek followed me.

"Abhishek this is Armaan"
I said showing him Armaan, who was sleeping but woke up as soon he heard my voice.
So I took him in my arms.

"My son"
I continued.

"You're what?"
Abhishek asked.

"Yes. My son"
I repeated.

"Mumma who is this?"
Armaan asked.

"This is Abhishek my um friend. Say Hi"
I said.

He said Hi and Abhishek did too.

"I know you have questions but just time 10 mins"
I said

Abhishek went out, as I made Armaan sleep.
Abhishek was sitting on a sofa, so I went and sat beside him.

"Okay story time"
I said.

He looked at the meet and I started talking.

"I was in junior college when I meet his dad. I was from a small town. I was staying at my aunt's place away from my parents. Boys never took an interest in me but his dad did. I liked that attention. And as I was a young naive girl, I fall into his trap. And when I found out I was going to have Armaan, he left me. I come from a very Orthodox family so I couldn't take their help. I fought, I cried, I did everything I could, and I survived"

By the end, I had tears when I tried to remember my struggling day.

"When you meet me in the mall, I was there with Armaan. He was playing in the play area. And In the garden, he was there too"
I continued

But before he could say anything he's phone rang and he had to go. But he promises that he will come and talk.

---

It's been a few days since I introduce Armaan to Abhishek. He hasn't called me or met me. I trust Abhishek but what if he is scared?

I'm not normal. This relationship would not be normal. There won't be 2 people involved. There would be 3.

It was Sunday. Armaan was playing with his cars and I was cooking Lunch. When to open the door as the doorbell rang.

It was Abhishek.
He came in and walked past me. He went and sat down near Armaan and said,
"This is for you"

"What it?"
He asked with his broken grammar.

"It's a train game. You have to build Train tracks and drive trains"
Abhishek answered.

"Wow! Mumma can I take it?"
Armaan asked me.

I was about to say no when Abhishek looked at me.
"Yes baby"

"Yeah!"
Armaan screamed and opened the box.

While Abhishek walked towards me and told me to follow him.
We entered the kitchen.

"I know I should have called but things got busy with the accounts department. And I -"

"Abhishek it's fine if you need time to think about it. About us. About me"
I interrupted him.

"No. I don't need to think. I know I want to spend my life with you. I will help you raise hundreds of your kids to be with you. Armaan doesn't change anything. He makes our relationship even better. I like you"
Abhishek confessed

"Abhishek... I like you too"
I couldn't come up with words

And just like that, we kissed. Our first kiss.

It was tender. Our lips were moving in sync. Like it was meant to. He slowly put his hand around my waist and I put mine on his hair.
I never wanted to end this kiss.

"Mumma look"
I hear Armaan's voice.

Abhishek and I smiled as we stopped kissing and went to see Armaan. He had built the train model.

He was playing and laughing. Whereas I was sitting with my hands intertwined with Abhishek's. My son was happy and I was with someone I love. It was perfect. I could finally my life is back to normal. I couldn't imagine my life without my boys.

********

Note-1.  Should I end it here or Introduce Armaan's dad in the next chapter and then let you decide between the two?
Like I did in The Policemen and The Artist
