"Lollii-op!" I looked at the grinning yash who was sitting beside me on the bed and was motioning me to give him a lolipop. He literally had tons of chocolates and these 'lollii-ops' because his tongue was deep red and his teeth brown. "You already had so many today!" I said with narrowed eyes and the toddler came over me and straddled me. "No yash! Too much of sugar is bad right?" "Buiii" He cupped my cheek as he spoke in his baby voice. He looked like the perfect depiction of innocence. "My babyy.." i copied his voice and cupped his chubby cheeks with my palms. He giggled to oblivion and rested his face on my bossom. He's soo cutee... I wrapped my big arms around his tiny body and acted to crash him in my embrace. The latter just laughed while trying to climb on me. "Ahh.." i hissed lightly when i felt a sharp pain in my abdomen as Yash kicked me. He stopped laughing and looked at me worriedly.
"Are you guys done?" I flinched by the sudden interference and jerked Abhishek. I looked at the intruder and found it to be Trisha. "Please do a baby soon guys, you both look perfect with a baby and magical if its yours and not mine. " "I'm adopting Yash!" I jested as i wiped the wetness off my cheeks. It was the second time i cried this day. "I asked you to adopt him earlier but you didn't. And now that i cleaned all his poops, i'm not gonna give him to you." She played along, as she motioned me to handover yash to her. I tried to detach Yash but he had fallen asleep in my arms with his tight hold. I shrugged at Trisha who was looking at my neck. Out of blue, she started pulling Yash and abhishek and i shared what-is-she-doing look. "Lavi, you will get scratches on your neck. He is holding too tightly. His nails are really pointed." Trisha explained and i shook my head. She finally succeeded to take yash a
Later after the dinner when i was ready to go back to my room, Revti aunty asked me to sleep in Abhishek's room only saying that Ruchika will be with Trisha. How much i wanted to oppose but i could not, granted Trisha gave her consent. So i entered his room with a knock and he looked surprised seeing me there as he motioned me to come in. "Hi." "Hi.." i stood in my place expecting him to ask me what am i doing here, but he just looked at me. "I..actually.. i will have to sleep here today..Aunty forced me.." "So why are you afraid?" "I'm not afraid.." i mumbled as i moved to take out the bag that i bought from my home. It was still unpacked. I took out my night suit and went to change it. When i came back, i found Abhishek sitting on the right side of the bed and scrolling on his mobile. It seemed like he was waiting for me as he gave me a s
"Hey bro.. sorry if i disturbed your sleep, you can give the phone to Lavi." Came the urgent voice of Vansh. "Talk to me whatever you wanted. She is sleeping." Abhishek anwered. "huh, lavanya doesn't sleep so soon. Give the phone to her." Abhishek gave me the phone, glaring at me and motioned me to talk here, on speaker. What did i do now? "Yeah, Vansh!" "Oh lavi...is the khadoos listening us?" Abhishek glared at me again and i clearly wanted to cry now. I never knew Vansh referred Abhishek as khadoos, why now? "Answer me!" Abhishek shook his head and mouthed a 'no' and i repeated his syllable, nodding my head. "Good then. I called you to inform that kritika's brother will also accompany her tomorrow so you need to make a plan. I can't have my date if he is there. He doesn't know about me." Vansh complained and i wanted to bang my head as the brown eyes kept boring on my skull. "I..I wi---" "She won't." Abhishek spoke and cutted the call before turning towards me.
Abhishek's Pov. My home where i lived for two years now and considered it to be my land, never seemed so accurate. A land. Just a land. I was too furious on Lavanya, completely pissed off as how could she be so irresponsible but the moment i entered my villa, the things seemed to be affected by her absence.The villa looked like an abundant place which was void of any comfort. Though it had all the luxuries, it lacked the feeling of home. I was confused because no day felt so lonely as today. Even when i was not married, it did not affected me then why now?The answer of my question was Lavanya. When i sat on the dining table, scrolling on my social media, i kept on waiting for the food. I forgot that the house workers never cooked the meals after Lavanya came here. I realized, they must have gone by then and i walked to kitchen to cook something. But to my surprise, i didn't wanted to cook. I was too habitual of getting cooked meal from past weeks that i found cooking a huge task.
6:27 was the time that the clock showed and it was still early knowing everyone here wakes up normally around 7 or 8. I noticed Lavanya sleeping as she clutched my hand and had scooted closer to me. She was looking like a painting that i would never want to draw, because it meant betrating her inner beauty.I seperated myself, careful to not disturb her and moved to kitchen to make the coffee. I found Trisha washing a plate and i immediately stopped her. "Hey, what are you doing?""I..Actually Yathu, i mean Yatharth, came unannouced in the midnight and was hungry, so i prepared some oats for him." She told me. "If you don't mind."I shook my head and took the bar and the plate from her and continued to scrub it. "Lavanya is so tensed for you. If she gets to know that you were washing these plates, in my presence, she will rip me off" "Do you love her?" The scrubbing came to a pause as i heard Trisha and shook my head. "But you came here, the instant you got to know abour her acciden
"ThankGod this man left. He is such a pain in my a--what??" Vansh groaned in pain as i hit him on his head. Abhishek hardly left a second ago and Vansh started his complaints. I shook my head at his childish behavior and went inside the house, with Vansh behind me, where tons of helpers were called . It was decided that all the functions except the engagement ceremony, wedding and the reception of course, will take place here. The three functions will be organised in des'ta clubs and the banquet hall. I recently got to know more about Abhishek's company - de'sta. It is the collection of 7 hotels, 13 restaurants, 11 lawns and 16 banquet halls all over, india. It is a well reputated company known for the modesty and their elegant look. And the fun fact was, I never went in any one of them. Why? They are quite expensive, and dad and I were rarely invited in any function. "Lavanya, i hope you can handle the decorations of all the events and can check on Harini's dresses?" Revti aunty a
Are you done? " I asked once they were finished and they looked dead at me. "No, if anything else is left, go ahead. Go ahead and show me the deepest you can fall.""And uncle, did you looked at your hands? They too are painted black like your clothes. And to all the aunties who are commenting in my dignity, have you guys forgotten that You all tried to convince me to marry a suitable guy? Go ahead, and show your children to behave like you all are doing, in their future. Show them that it's cool and hilarious to paint someone black and say ill about their families. Show them that it's fuvking cool to spread the rumors. Go ahead Guys! Go ahead! " I surely looked like a maniac who fought alone with a bunch of people who looked at her like a criminal. "And uncle, next time bring a deeper shade of black which at least compares to all your black hearts! And sharda aunty, you are a mother right? You so easily said that my friend will loose her unborn? What will you feel if I say the same
It was just a random night after the doctors declared lavanya as physically fit, when lavanya was seeing the moon from Vihaan's baby room. She remembered how Vihaan told her that moon has his sister was sitting in the balcony, in the lap of their maternal grandparents, looking at them with a wide smile. Abhishek still tried to appear normal, thinking that lavanya cannot smell the smoke from his coat and know why he started coming late. He would excuse it for the hike in work but she knew it better. The dark patches around their eyes were nothing but a deep pain that was covering their hearts. They still slept in each other arms but they no longer shared themselves, except the random conversations about Vihaan. It seemed like they went back to the phase where they had started being awkward in the absence of any topic to talk about. Tomorrow was the day when Vihaan will be going to attend his school for the first time. The child was really excited and didn't stopped talking about his
.Her. Its a girl. A smile formed in her lips, but it was gone in the next moment. Her baby was not the prime focus to be saved, she was. How easily she chose trisha over her unborn back then. Even trisha told her that she was not upset by her decision to save her. But now when she was in the same spot, why she found her mother's decision valid? Why she wanted to give her life if it can give life to her girl?But then the moments she spent with Abhishek and Vihaan, flashed her mind. She knew her babygirl won't go through what she did in her life. She didn't had anyone other than her dad, and thus craved for a family. But her baby will have. She knew her babygirl won't be as fearful as she was. Because she will have a grandma like Revti who pulled her mumma from fears. Nobody wanted her (lavanya) and blamed her for her mother's death. But her girl won't be blamed and will be most loved, because her family won't be pathetic as them.But Abhishek and Vihaan?"Doctor!" She called out
"Now spread it like this." Lavanya slided the plastic knife over the bread and her 16 month son tried to take the knife from his mom. "Ok, now its your turn." She helped him spread the home-made jam over the bread.Once done, vihaan took the bread and ate it with his little teeth. The strawberry taste of the gem made him spin around and wave his hands in air. His way of saying wonderful. Lavanya laughed with him and quickly ate a bite of the bread before copying him. The baby giggled and spread his arms for her to pick him up and hug him. She did and kissed his chubby cheeks."Lavii, is breakfast ready?" Abhishek asked, descending the chairs while adjusting his watch. "Daddaaa.." Vihaan screamed in joy and pulled lavanya's hairs in excitement. Lavanya hissed keeping him down and the kid ran to his father."Careful, vihu!" Lavanya shouted but who she was kidding? Vihaan knew every inch of the house, even the corners she didn't knew before.She shook her head before taking the breakfa
"Shh...stop crying baby, look mumma has so many toys. Wanna play?" I tried to console my two month old baby boy, Vihaan, who was crying continuously from an hour. No matter how hard i try, he didn't stopped crying."Hungry? Is my boy hungry? Come, mumma will feed you." I opened the buttons of blowse and took Vihaan near my breasts but he didn't latched like other times and now tears pooled in my eyes. "What happened baby? Are you angry from mumma? Please stop crying."I hooked back my blowse and took him in a hug, patting his back. "My baby, my sweetheart. Stop crying." I cooed but he was not in the mood to shut his crying. "Are you hurt somewhere? Let mumma see." His tears were like a dagger for me.I laid him down on the mattress and took off his clothes slowly until he was in his birthsuit. I checked for any discomfort but there was none. "You want massage? Lets massage you!" I took the baby oil from the side table and started massaging him while making some funny faces.For a seco
The next day, abhishek took lavanya to kanpur and left her there with a heavy heart. He drove back, not wanting to see her never-ending tears. Their family tried to stop him but he just shook his head.Due to driving so much, his body was sore and he laid on his bed (after informing that he reached) to take a nap. But an hour passed and he was still wide awake. He missed his wife in his arms and the bump he will always draw patterns in. While in Kanpur, lavanya sat in her new bed as she munched in her sweet-corns, and ignored everyone who tried to talk to her."I agree she is angry from bhai, but why is she not talking to us?" Vansh was irritated. Ruchika nodded her head as everytime she went to feel the baby, lavanya asked her to leave her alone. "Its her hormones, beta. She is just upset that Abhishek left her here. In no time, her mood will automatically change." Revti answered."Lets cook her favorite dish, she will be fine." Sonali suggested and all agreed. .. Lavanya looked
Pregnancy comes with many hardships. And with lavanya, it was already worsening day by day. She kept vomitting everything she ate and the morning nausea did not let her sleep properly. Abhishek tried his best to convince her to eat even if she vomits it. But lavanya had strictly told him that she will only live by water, but she won't vomit. It took all her energy. "Baby, if you won't eat anything, how will you take care of our baby?" He said rubbing her back as she laid over him, like a lazy dog. "I already feel exhausted in two months. Vomitting just makes it worst." She mumbled, trying to sleep. "Because you are not eating anything. You want to have your milk shake? Ice-cream or anything?" He asked, not caring if it was healthy or not. He only wanted her to eat anything or it might be a problem. "No. I just want to sleep." He sighed at her answer and rubbed her back, patting it slightly. "If you don't eat four meals atleast in a day, i'm going to tell your students that you w
The two days went in a blink as the day of their reception arrived. It was also the completion of six months of their marriage and thus Lavanya performed the rituals of removing the chuda with the ladies. She was excited. One day back, she resigned from her job and decided to open her own psychology classes after they return from their honeymoon. Vansh proposed Kritika near the India gate and the latter cried in happiness. Their parents were happy and they decided to marry them in the next year. Lavanya got ready in her gown that she saved before, when arms snaked through her waist. "You look stunning." Abhishek muttered, hugging her and she leaned back. "And you look beautiful." She said, muffling her laughter, knowing he only loved 'handsome, hot and sexy' as compliment. He twirled her in his arms and pulled her close. "Beautiful, huh?" He slammed his lips on hers and she kissed him back, messing his hairs. "Now what's your take?" He asked as she panted for air. "You are
"Abhishek, it's difficult. It's too difficult to cope up with the new atmosphere especially when you are a child who could not speak properly. There were only few who would try to understand me patiently, without making fun of me. Most of them would only make me feel differentiated, as if I was not a human who can be hurt too. Just because I chose to not fight back, so my dad won't get to know about all of it, they thought I was their.. Experiment bag. They would lock me in empty rooms, tear my notebooks, hide my bag, throw water on me and most importantly, they would hurt me by their sharp language. Or pata hai, ek baar jab aap ye soch lete ho ki shayad aap me hi koi kami hogi, toh har buri cheez hone me aap apne aap ko hi blame krte ho. Koi aapka message seen krke chor de, abruptly call end krde, aapki taraf dekh ke Hass de, ya apni nazre pher le. Aisa lagta ki you are just worthless. Confidence ki toh band baj jati hai. Na Mai class me kabhi answer de paayi, na kabhi kisi competi
As lavanya opened the doors of their room, she looked at the black suit jacket of Abhishek, hanging on the railings. She ignored it, going down when she noticed that the dining table was all set with the breakfast and Abhishek was just sitting on his chair. Just sitting. When he felt her presence, he turned to look at her and for a second their eyes met, before she averted her eyes. Once again, she felt uncomfortable from his gaze. It was as if she had gone to square one. All the progress, all the steps she made towards him, were going vain. She took her handbag from the table, ignoring the shivers his eyes sent her. And before she could take step away, he stopped her by wrist and she hissed. His hold loosened and he made her sit on a the chair next to his and took the first-aid box that he made sure to bring here. He put the ointment in her wrist, on the cuts. She hissed in the sensation and he fought back the tear that was about to escape, knowing it was because of him and his an
