The anger I had forGeorgina slowly subdued as I stared directly into Sidd’s charming face. His beautifulbrown eyes peered into mine as if reading my mind through them. My heartskipped a beat for the umpteenth time. His wavy, deep brown, unruly hair was combedto the back. His rosy skin glowed beautifully and his pink lips captivated me. Wearinga short-sleeved jean shirt with two buttons off almost made me swoon. Behind himwere two huge men, looking like bouncers. Was he scared I would hurt him?

I took Zeehan to school the following morning. We left as early as possible. I desperately wish to see the boy who dares to touch my baby. Sleep couldn’t wash away the anger from my heart. I crouched in front of Zeehan, adjusting his collar.“Baby?” I called. “Can you recognize the boy that slapped you?” I asked.“Yes, Mummy. He is Edward,” he responded. I nodded and stood up, holding him to his class. “He is coming!” Zeehan announced, pointing at a boy of about 10 years old, coming along beside his mother. A sly smile crept to my face. We waited for them. The moment they neared us, I left my five fingers on the boy’s face. He staggered back, almost falling before his mother held him.“Hey, are you mad?” the mother yelled, checking Edward’s cheek as he teared up. “What is wrong with you, woman? How dare you hit my child?” she tried picking up a fight before the teachers and security interfered.“Warn your stupid boy deeply,” I pointed an angry finger at her. “The next time he dares to

Embracing the warmth thatwelcomed me into the heart of India, I stood suspended for a moment, holdingZeehan’s hand.

I looked at Zeehan and the many other people walking backand forth from Mumbai airport. My child is home now. No one will dare call himalbino anymore.“I am here for you,Sidd,” I mumbled and smiled. Walking a few steps forward, a man showed up in frontof us, smiling warmly.“Where are you headed,ma’am?” he asked.“Good day, sir,” Ireturned his warm smile. “I’m a foreigner, I need to lodge in a hotel close,particularly one near the Bollywood industry,” I stated. The man suddenly wore aconfused look. “What’s wrong?” I asked sharply.“Nothing. You mean Film City. I will take you there and help you lodge in a hotel,” he stated.“Thank you so much.

Returning to the hotel, Iheard people murmuring, swiveling their faces away from mine when I glanced atthem. Fear gripped my heart. Were they suspecting me already? And why are theystaring at Zeehan like that? Is it that obvious that Zeehan resembles Siddharth?I collected my room key from the receptionist and hurried to my room, carryingZeehan in my arms. And the weirdo lady earlier. Why was she talking like apriestess? Her tone almost made me quiver. It seemed she was seeing what wasgoing to happen in the next few days.“Mummy?” Zeehan called aswe reached the room.“Yes, baby,” I smiled.“Are we still going tosee Aunt Hema?” he queried, sitting on the bed. Huh? Aunt Hema? What has shedone to my baby? Is she truly a witch? I have heard scary stories about Indianwitches or black magicians before. I just hope she isn’t manipulating my baby.I sat with him, pulling him closer to me.“Why do you ask, baby?” Iqueried, trying to hide my surface-threatening fear.“I want to see h

As early as possible the next day, I called Hema and she gave me her address. I went to her place with Zeehan. Wow! Her home is so amazing. A beautiful bungalow with a yard and pool. How did she manage to build or buy such a luxurious house? Is she rich? I stood at the door after ringing the doorbell, waiting for her response. She opened the door, beaming warmly. I wasn’t expecting her to hug me but she did.“Welcome to my humble abode, Nadia,” she said, walking us back into the living room. “And Zeehan, how are you?” she asked.“I’m fine, Aunt Hema,” Zeehan replied.“I need your help, Hema,” I said as we reached the living room. She turned to me.“Anything, Nadia,” she accepted.“I want to go out, can you look after Zeehan for me, please?” I requested. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion.“Where are you going?” she asked.“It’s personal. Will you look after him for me, please?” I repeated earnestly.“Of course.
