Four years later. I was driving with Chandni beside me. I had gone to pick her up from school.

“Baby?” I called and she smiled at me. “Hope your classmates aren’t bugging you,” I said. I looked at her and then back to the windscreen.

“No, Mommy,” she smiled. “My classmates are good. I love my new class and our teacher is awesome.”

“I’m glad you are happy,” I smiled.

My baby has grown so beautiful and smart. Sometimes I wonder if she was my little twin. She took after me in virtually everything.

“Daddy…!” Chandni called out cheerfully, pointing at my side window.

I pulled over immediately, I looked to the side where she pointed and saw Sidd. He was opening his car door for a lady. I must say, she was beautiful. She had black hair that she left to cascade around her. She was wearing a short skirt littered with glitter, putting on a crop top, and chewing bubble gum. Was that Sidd’s taste now? A call girl? I smirked inwardly.

“Daddy is busy, baby,” I smiled at Chandni and moved off

    The following day, I went shopping for the birthday stuff. I needed to buy a gorgeous birthday dress for Chandni. She loves pink a lot. “Like mother like daughter,” Sidd used to say. I got her a sparkling pink gown with a lacy band around the tummy. It was a round neck dress, flared from the waist. It had pink flower-like beads littered on it. It was a perfect pink dress for my baby. Time to get a matching shoe. I walked through the sections choked with baby shoes. Couldn’t find a matching pink shoe for Chandni’s size. I walked down more. My eyes caught a special crystal shoe. It resembled Cinderella’s crystal shoe. I smiled to myself. I hurried to pick it up. As I had my hand on it, another hand came on mine. I looked at the person. It was the same lady I saw Sidd with. She was chewing bubble gum as before. Beside her was Sidd. Really? They are here to buy a kid’s wear. Does she have a child for Sidd? I carried the shoe box in my hand.“I want that shoe,” she said, more like a comma

    Chandni’s birthday neared faster. Just in two days. I made sure to get everything ready. I wasn’t good with decorations, so I sought Manu’s help. The confections will be prepared by the mother-in-law herself. I got a clown to entertain the kids. Everything was in place, just the day remaining to come. After all the arrangements, I flopped on the bed. Sidd was freshening up. I wouldn’t say our relationship was back to normal, but a bit better. He came out. He moved to the bed and lay beside me. We were both facing the ceiling.“Chandni’s birthday is in two days,” I reminded them with a glance at him.“I remember,” he said simply without a glimpse at me.“Hmm!” I sighed. “Do you have a surprise for her?” I turned on my side, facing him.“Uh-huh!” he said.“Sidd?” I called. He glanced at me. Thank God I got attention. “Don’t you honestly love me anymore?” I queried.He looked at me. “Stop overthinking, Rani,” he stated. “I got to sleep now,” he faced the opposite side and closed hi

    In the morning, Sidd went into Chandni’s room with a large box. She was seated up on the bed, staring into space. She glanced at Sidd and focused. Sidd sat beside her, placing the box beside them.“I got you this, baby,” he said.Chandni looked at the gift and then back to Sidd. “Today is not my birthday, Daddy,” she said, turning away from him.“I’m sorry, baby. I know I hurt you, and I’m deeply sorry for that, okay?” I entered Chandni’s room. I looked between the two of them.“Good morning, Mommy,” Chandni greeted, stepping down from the bed and directing me to her.“Good morning, sweetheart. How was your night?” I asked, carrying her up in my arms.“I slept tight, Mommy.”“Grandma prepared Jalebi, especially for you,” I announced.“Really? I love jalebis,” Chandni laughed.I turned to the door and we headed out, leaving Sidd and his late-coming gift.Later in the day, Chandni was playing in the gazebo with her rocking horse

    “Oof…!” I took a deep loud breath while looking at the mirror. It has been a long since I last worked, and everything will seem new to me. It’s like starting afresh after a breakdown. I just hope I got a good boss. What does the CEO of Logistics Group of Companies look like? Was he an old man? A middle-aged man? A young man? Or possibly a mafia no one knows about. Crazy thought, yeah I know. It pops up in my head most times, especially when going for something as serious as a job interview. It happened to me when I was going for my first interview with Sidd’s uncle’s company. Anyways, it’s not my first time anymore, I just got to breathe to be okay. “Oof…!” I puffed heavily.I picked up my bag from the vanity table. I was cladded in a knee-length black suit skirt with a white button-down shirt. I allowed my hair to fall behind me. I was wearing high heels. The normal office is casual. I gave myself a reassuring nod before leaving the room. I notified Mother before leaving the h

    A few days later, I drove along from work. It wasn’t hectic at the office today. I finished what needed to be done early, so my boss permitted me to go home. Did I tell you guys his name? His name was Arijit Mohan. Mr. Arijit was so good. He was a responsible, concerned, selfless, and humble man. If I had met him before Sidd, I’m certain to have equally fallen in love with him. Crazy thought, I know. I got stuck in Mumbai's impromptu traffic.“Shit!” I hit my fist against the steering wheel.I relaxed back in my seat. I turned my head and saw Sidd coming out of a law firm with an attorney. I knew the attorney, he was a famous divorce handler of his time. I sat up quickly. He handed a paper to Sidd. I bet it was a divorce paper. Was Sidd planning to divorce me? Why? Because of the call girl? The honk of the car horn from my back pulled me back to the reality of the traffic lift. I moved off. I had a constant pang in my heart. Sidd wants to divorce me without thinking of our

    I rode with my boss to Begusarai. We didn’t talk much in the car. He only showed me the presentation on his laptop. When we reached, we lodged in a hotel. Different rooms. After freshening up, I sat on the bed, going through my laptop. I got the presentation on my laptop as a backup. It was sunset then. I heard a knock on my room door. I looked at the door. The knock came up again. I stood up to go get the door. I opened up and saw Mr. Arijit looking down at the door.“Hey,” he smiled, looking up at me with a mesmerizing smile. My heart thumbs up to my throat. I forced a smile through my mouth. “Can I come in?” he said. Come in? By now? I swallowed hard and gave him a responsive nod. He entered, looking around the room.“You need anything, sir?” I asked, facing him.“How are you enjoying the room?” he asked, turning to look at me. “Are you comfortable? Or you need another room.”“No, sir, I am fine here,” I smiled again.“Glad to hear,” h

    My mother-in-law was in the living room. Sidd and the call girl walked down to her. She stood in surprise. I shuffled downstairs. Thank God Chandni was still sleeping. What would I have told her?“Greetings, Mother,” Sidd saluted.I reached to the living room. Mother-in-law just stood with a look of surprise still evident on her face. “Mother?” I called and she looked at me. “I will be outside if you need me,” I said and turned towards the door.“Hold on, Rani,” Priyanka said.I halted. That wasn’t Mother or Sidd’s voice. Does the call girl know my name? What more did Sidd tell her about me? I turned. Indeed, it was the call girl that stopped me. She walked to me.“I’m sorry,” she said. “I didn’t know you are Sidd’s wife. He didn’t tell me and I scolded him for that,” Priyanka apologized.I was confused. I didn’t say anything. Why would Sidd’s mistress apologize to me? Sidd came along.“It’s true, Rani,” he stated. “Meet Priyanka Kapoor, my childho

    At the Sharma’s mansion. Sunia was seated in the living room, staring into space. She was gloomy. Veejay came along from outside. He just returned from the office.“Hey, sweetheart,” he greeted. She wouldn’t answer him. He understood. Sunia hasn’t been herself since their last visit to the hospital.“What does that mean?” she had asked the doctor. Her heart thumbs up to her throat. She was already sweating.“I’m afraid, Mrs. Sharma, you might not be able to have a child of your own anymore,” the doctor announced.“Ow…!” she exclaimed, with the way her heart flew out of her, she fainted. Due to the unnatural way, she lost her pregnancy, she lost her womb with it. Only a miracle can give her a child of her own now.“Sweetheart, why are you like this?” Veejay asked, moving close. She glared at him. Without a word, she stood up and headed upstairs.At night, Sunia lay down on the bed, facing the ceiling with her arms crossed on her b

    I was busy in my office, working on some files when Mr. Arijit entered.“Hey, beauty!” he greeted me with a broad smile while working with me.“Good day, boss,” I responded, lifting my gaze on him.“I have a surprise for you,” he said.I smiled. My boss was fond of surprises. All his surprises were always precious to me. He walked to my side and I stood up. “What is the surprise?” I asked eagerly.“Close your eyes,” he said. Without hesitation, I closed my eyes. “You can open your eyes now,” he commented.I opened my eyes. My surprise vanished into a look of shock. My boss was on one knee with a ring. A proposal? How?“Will you accept to deal with my flaws, share in my joy, and celebrate my success stories? Will you be the woman I wake up to see every morning? Will you be my woman, Rani?” Mr. Arijit proposed. I was dumbstruck. What should I say? Just then, the door creaked open. Sidd walked in, holding a bouquet of rose flowers. He stopped at the door, staring between me an

    The next day when I returned from work, Chandni came along. She was holding her pink teddy bear. “Hey, baby,” I smiled, taking off my shoes. She came to sit beside me. “Mommy, are you still fighting with Daddy?” Chandni asked. I looked at her abruptly. “Why do you ask, baby?” “Because Daddy told me you two aren’t on good terms yet. He said you are mad at him.” I smiled. “Daddy is just assuming, baby, we are not fighting,” I lied. We are fighting. “If he wronged you, please, forgive him, Mommy. Daddy is a changed person now.” “It’s fine, baby, but we are not fighting,” I insisted. Sidd is crazy to tell my daughter such a thing. He wants to use her to get to me. “Then be happy with him, okay?” Chandni said. I smiled reassuringly. The following morning, I was rushing out when Mother stopped me. “Hold on, Rani,” she said. I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. She walked closer to me she placed her palm on my shoulder. “Is the ga

    The following day, I walked into my boss’s office. He had summoned me. “Good day, sir,” I greeted. “Good day, dear, have a seat,” he said. I smiled and sat down on the opposite chair. “First and foremost, thank you for allowing your daughter to come along to the outing. I’m very much obliged,” Mr. Arijit appreciated. “I should be thanking you, boss. Chandni was happily going out with you. She enjoys your company and that was relieving.” “I’m glad she did,” he said, pulling out a locker. “Here, I got you a gift,” he presented a small wrapped box to me. “Wow, thank you,” I smiled, taking the box from him. “Can you open it now?” “Oh, yeah, sure,” I agreed and began unwrapping the box. I opened it. It had a beautiful gold necklace in it. Small and expensive. It was the latest necklace, coming new into the market and I have been wishing to get it. Now my boss got it for me. Awesome! “You like it?” “I love it. Thank you so much,” I smiled.

    A few days later. I went to meet my boss in his office. He was standing close to the window, looking through it when I entered. I stopped at the entrance.“Boss?” I called. He looked at me. “Here, I brought the file from Karen’s Ink firm for you to sign. They were satisfied with our presentation,” I stated, walking to him.“Okay, put it on my desk,” he said. I put down the file on his desk and turned to go. “Wait, Rani,” he said. I halted and looked at him. He moved close to me. He stood in front of me, staring into my eyes. I felt itchy all over. Why was he staring at me? I looked down, feeling queasy. “Can I ask you a favor?” he asked. “Huh?” I looked at him surprised. What favor can I possibly offer my boss? “What is it, sir?” I asked.“It’s your child,” he said. What about my child? What did she do? Will I lose my job again? “I saw her picture on Facebook. She is adorable,” Mr. Arijit stated, walking away from me. “She looks like you, cheerful and vibrant. C
