Phase 4 Begins...

3.5 years later...

Aarya's POV:

'Balloons???'

'Check!!!'

'Return Gifts???'

'Check!!!'

'Tinkerbell Poster???'

'Check!!!'

'Snacks without junk shit'

'Check!!!'

'Marshmallow Mountain???'

'Check!!!'

'Chocolate Fountain???'

'Check!!!'

'Cake???'

'Ummmmm....'

'Cakkkkke????'

'Ummmmm I.....thatttt.... Shittt 🙃'

'Mihir... seriously??? You organised everything...like literally you forgot cake??? I can't believe you like... How...on earth yaar .. you are a doctor right...how do you do a scissorian baby... Do you first  do the procedure and then give the anaesthesia is it???? 😐'

I was seriously pissed off...

'Ill organize it baby...it's just... Morning!!! I'll organise...'

'It's the month of December... That too tomorrow is Christmas!!! Your darling son wants to go on a Christmas vacation ... thank god I fooled him saying Santa Claus stays in Bangalore due to global warming... Nowadays kids...he is only 2.5 yrs old and knows about North Pole...Snowing etc...thanks to his wife... But I'm also ready with my research and bundle of lies...i swear nowadays kids... We didn't know to wash our bums at 2.5 properly and this one acts like a Einstein... Thank god he still believes in fairies and Magic...

I've still not packed his bags because that calf of mine is just desperate to have his wife alongside 🙆

Seriously...

Matlab kya karu main marr jaun
(What do you want me to die or what?')

From one side although being 3 months pregnant again vomiting nonstop and have terrible nausea I organized everything...these minor arrangements you can't do!!!

You ....you ...😠😤 Chaah Di is so so right...you are indeed a buffalo!!!' I was so so pissed off...

That I sat down holding my head...

'Aaru yaar... relax...I'll do everything... Please baby...' Mihir tried to console me...

'Mihir yaar...this is why I told let's celebrate the birthday in India... Bela Ma...Mahir papa everyone could have attended...' I said softly...

'We will Baby...we will do that... anyways we are going to India na...we will celebrate again...Aahir also will feel very happy...double birthday for him... and you know na he's super possessive of his wife 🙄 Idiot wants to marry her and take her to Disneyland... Gadha (donkey)'
Mihir chuckled...

'Oh Hello...you are a Gadha...don't you dare... My son is wayyyy better than you... Idiot!!! And anyways...I... seriously feel it's 3.5 yrs + now...Di must ...come to India...I mean it's all settled now...Plus it's Muskaan's engagement Mihu...' I said softly

Suddenly I noticed Mihir's body stiffening...
'Aaru...you and I we both know Di is not going to agree to it...And you also know her daily routine...it's....tooo disturbing Aaru...you know even today Maa called me to try to convince her to come to India...Guess what Di has sent a jewellery set from the new Behir's collection for Musky but the moment Maa tried to talk about her coming to India...she got away giving reason that she's having foreign delegates to attend... there's no use on talking about this now Aaru...She had chosen this life for her... Sorry to say...but she's reaping what she's sown...'

'Mihu please...' I back hugged him but every time this topic comes up this is how he reacts...Not just him everyone in the family is still pissed with Di...but then no one tells her anything because she herself has turned into a miserable one now...

No wonder now her office calls her a 'Heartless Witch!!!'

Little did they know it's the heart ❤️ that has put her in this miserable state today...She stays a street away but she hardly comes to meet us...

It's Aahir and her bond that has kept us so connected. Else Di would have chosen to leave to Germany last year but then Aahir's one tear and his 'wife' melts like Ice ❤️

Their bond is the purest of all ❤️❤️❤️
Tomorrow Aahir is going to India with us for a week...I know Di is going to miss him a lot...It's Aahir's first trip to India since he was born... He thinks Di will join us later but I am definitely going to have a hard time keeping him sane without Di... Specially as even today he needs me and Di both at night to make my little monster have his dinner...

I have no idea how are they going to stay away from each other for ten days.

Author's POV:

Behir's, NSW, Sydney, Australia
Time 9:00 am AEDT

'Venessa are the reports printed??? You know Mam prefers a hardcopy...And is the coffee been served...No sugar...Cult black!!! Yup...Hmmm..Go.... now please'

Juhi was trying hard to manage everything before Chaahat was entering the building.

Juhi is pregnant and hence was in a KT (knowledge transfer) period right now...

Vanessa was Juhi's replacement till she goes for her delivery...Inspite of telling it time and again... Venessa misses out on something or the other...And today she added sugar cube in Chaahat's coffee... Although it's been an entire month under Juhi she hasn't been able to manage Chaahat and her temper.

Juhi was worried because this month end she would be a whole 6 months pregnant and Venessa was the 5th PA she tried to train for Chaahat in last 6 months. Although Chaahat asked her to leave and that she will manage without a PA...Juhi very well knew ... Chaahat's 'managing' meant firing people of different departments if she didn't get her report's or work done on time.

Chaahat was earlier called 'Chudail' but now office, media, fashion industry called her the very famous...

'Heartless Witch!!!'

Her schedule was extremely fierce too...

She would start her day in morning 6 am... attend calls with the German clients... Which would go till morning 8 am ...She would rush to have a shower by when Clara would keep her breakfast packed with a portion of newspaper with fashion page alone while Andrew her market analyser would keep giving her updates on market and shares in her car while she stuffs her sandwich in her mouth, reads the newspaper portion and listens to Andrew.

Multitasking indeed!!!

9 am begins her grind in office which would run till 3 pm AEDT in noon. Post which Veer Kapoor who is the current managing director of Gaya's would have meetings with Chaahat and they would discuss and plan on their new designs. Nisha would design the clothes for Gaya's-Behir's collection but now that Nisha is also running a complete 7 months pregnant with a lot of complications Veer isn't able to give enough time to this...

Chaahat and Veer had already discussed that they need a new designer however Gaya's-Behir's were famous for their cult classic Indian designs... Although repetitive they still had an ardent fanbase...

But now that Nisha was going on maternity and Milan Fashion week, Paris Fashion week both coming up in three months down the row Chaahat felt like a De-Ja-Vu...

Few memories are never to vanish...

Few people are unforgettable!!!

Chaahat would shoo those thoughts away and continue working till evening...

However would take a break in between from 7 pm to 9pm to be with the love of her life...

But today was special as Chaahat was leaving office by 5 pm...

She was about to leave her cabin while Juhi stood smiling at the door ...

Chaahat's POV:

I was about to leave the office while I saw Juhi smiling wide asking...

'Where Madam... Looks like you forgot your watch today'

I smiled saying...

'No madam...I didn't...it's special today...I have a date'

To which Juhi rolled her eyes...
'I hate that dummy piece Karan Talwar... What did you see in him yaar'

I smiled lightly...
'Ju please... He is not that bad...he's single, educated, doctor'

'Going through a divorce... Forgot???' she quipped...

'Ju... People seperate...Lily wasnt meant to be his...they seperated... And we are just dating... Nothing serious...he just asked me out and I agreed... and don't frown... today is not his day... today it's the most special man in my Life's birthday!!"

She narrowed her eyebrows...

And I showed her tinkerbell books and she smiled wide ...

'Oh my God... wish that lil bookworm of yours from my side...' she giggle

I laughed out loudly...

'By the way this time be ready to answer him on why you ate your baby that your belly became so big 😂'

To which we both laughed out loudly...

In no time I went to Aaru-Mihir's house...

Their house was decorated with balloons, tinker Bell and other fairies picture's, posters and cut outs...

But what suprised me was the main cut out of Tinkerbell which had my face photoshopped.

I began laughing loudly...

'Di  ..not my fault...it was your nephew's demand 😂 he thinks you are the real life Tinkerbell 😂' Aaru said hugging me ..

'Hes my baby... where is he?'

Just while I was looking for him I saw Mihir carrying him and coming to me...

Looking at me in no time...he came running and jumped onto my arms...

I caught him and twirled him round and round...

My little furball...

'Wifyyyyy you are late...Aahir missed you'

'Awwww gimme a kissie' and he kissed my cheek...

I smiled...

'Sorry Mr Husband...I got late because your wify was busy finding these for you'

And the minute he saw the new series of books he was jumping happily...

I chuckled at his excitement...

He can't read... He is too young for it...but he had his room full of these books already...

It was my routine to tell him a bedtime story...Aaru would then carry him home.

My 2.5 year old monster bookworm...

But I love him ❤️

He's my lifeline ❤️

Cake was been cut, we celebrated and sang for him...

Post which almost all the crowd cleared out...

I, Aaru and Mihir were sitting in Aahir's room and feeding him dinner...

While Aahir said...

'Wifey tomorrow Aahir is going to meet Granny Grandpa'

And I smiled at him...

I know I'll miss him a lot...Ten days ...I have never been away from him for that long...I still remember last time I went to Milan but I was missing him so much that I was back in 2 days...

But here it's 10 big days...

How will I live without my dimple boy ❤️

'You are also coming na Wifey' he said and I looked at Mihir...

'Ummm Aahir...Bua(aunty) will try... she's busy na' Mihir tried to convince..

'No No No... Wifey promise...you will come... My girlfriend Musky is getting married...I'm Already sad' he said

To which I burst out laughing...

'What were you guys on when this one was under process' I asked Aaru and she rolled her eyes

'Ok baba..I promise I'll come ok' I lied to Aahir...

'Pinky Promise?' he said innocently and I smiled sadly...

I noticed Mihir getting uncomfortable and looking at me...

'Hmmm' I said and Aahir hugged me...

I read him a story from the new book I got for him post which I caressed his hair and left the room..

Time was ticking 10pm...

I was about to leave while Mihir said...

'Di... Musky will miss you... can't you come this one time please'

To which I don't know why my eyes filled with tears and flashes of my past played like a reel... blinking through I smiled saying...

'Happy journey Mihir'

And left to my house...

I changed from my blazers to pajamas and sat in front of the mirror and noticed my face in the mirror...

I had dark circles...

I don't sleep too long!!! It's only 5 hours a day... Probably I need rest... but sleep is a traitor...The minute I sleep his face flashes and that's what I avoid!!!

3.5 years and I'm still not able to forget those Russet Brown Devil Orbs that poured tears non stop and I shut my heart, mind and eyes and left from there!!!

His voice still in my ears...

I just closed both my ears and everything went silent...

I need to sleep...

Yes I need to...

I just went to my cupboard picked a glass of hard whisky poured myself a 90 and gulped it in one go!!!

Urghhhh!!! I hate the taste but it helps me sleep...

I got into my bed...

Put on my ear buds and played my playlist of bollywood numbers...

🎵🎶

Jo main jaanti ki preet kare dukh hoye
To nagar dhindhora peetati
Kehti Preet na kariyo koye...

Jo main jaanti ki man khud bairi hoye
Har dagar dindhora peetati
Kehti preet na kariyo koye

Jo main jaanti ki preet kare dukh hoye
To nagar dhindhora peetatiKehti preet na kariyo koye

Jo main jaanti ki man khud bairi hoye
Har dagar dindhora peetati
Kehti preet na kariyo koye

To nagar dhindhora peetati
Kehti preet na kariyo koye

Har dagar dindhora peetati
Kehti preet na kariyo koye

Kash ke yoon ho jaaye
Neend meri khul jaave

Aur koyi keh de humse
Yeh sapna tha

Kash ke yoon ho jaaye
Neend meri khul jaave

Aur koyi keh de humse
Yeh sapna tha
Yeh sapna tha
Par yeh sach na tha

Kya jaanu main kaun hai sapna
Aur sach kaisa hoye

Jo main jaanti ke preet mein pagal hoye
To dhol nagada peet ke
Kehti preet na kariyo koye
Jo main jaanti ke man khud bairi hoye
Har dagar dhindora peetati
Kehti preet na kariyo koye

🎶🎵

A lone tear escaped my eye...

How I wish my heart got some solace...peace...after that night!!

Why does it still hurt when I was the one who broke someone's heart 🥺

I don't know how is he ...

It's been 3.5 years and I know nothing about him.

MyPie SonaPie visit me every year but they never speak about him.

Aaru-Mihir are in constant contact with his family but I know nothing...

He owns the organization and is the CEO, although he quit designing, doesn't work on this merger portion infact doesn't even interfere...

All these years I have only encountered his signatures on a few papers but nothing more...

But still why does my heart go erratic when I hear the word India...

Because I know he stays there?

Because I know I hurt him?

Because I know I can't face him?

I'm not even attending my sister's engagement!!!

When will I ever get over this guilt!!!

Every night I only pray he is better...

I pray 🥺
