continued.
“I love you” she spoke with hiccups to which he nodded his head leaning towards her
“I love you too and I always will. It’s my promise that no one will take your place in my life” he promised and placed a soft kiss on her forehead
“Please……” didn’t know what happened to her suddenly but she started feeling light headed and her eyes started drooping as if all the energy started draining out of her body
“Please trust me” this was all he couldn’t do.She looked into his eyes but when she didn’t see an ounce of trust in his eyes, she knew that even though he loved her, he didn’t trust enough which felt like a stab in her heart but before she could open her mouth, someone harshly pushed her away from Danish making her stumble but the lady constable standing behind her caught her in time.
Danish angrily looked at the person to find Digvijay was angrily glaring at her
“Dad” he tried to stop him but he silenced him “Enough Danish”
“Take her away” Khanak heard Digvijay’s furious voice as her eyes started blurring and the next moment, she found herself walking towards the police van and lost her consciousness as she was pushed inside.
Flashback End
Khanak’s POV
I was alone in my cabin because Deepanshi had gone out for some work, we shared the same cabin.
I was busy reading a file when someone barged into my cabin with small steps.
I looked up to see the intruder and my lips automatically formed in genuine smile finding a little angel in front of me who was staring at me with puffy cheeks, a cute little pout adoring her lips and her tiny nose was in shade of red which meant she was angry
She looked adorable, I wanted to kiss her badly.
“This isn’t fair at all,” she huffed in irritation, placing her little hands on her hips while staring at me with doe like eyes.
My heart fluttered with bliss seeing her here.I got up from the chair pushing it back, walked to her and asked her softly kneeling infront of her “What happened to my little princess that she is so angry?”
She sighed angrily “These men don’t know anything.”
I smiled brightly taking her hands from her hips and placed tender kisses on her both palms one by one to which she gave me her beautiful smile and kissed on my both cheeks.
“What don’t these men know??” I asked her lifting her in my arms and taking her to the table. I made her sit on the table opposite to mine and sat on my chair.
She scrunched her little nose in annoyance while pushing her little hand in her skirt’s pocket. She shook her head while I give her my full attention putting my both elbows beside her hips.
She took out a purple beautiful hair clip set from her pocket and showed it to me with unpleased look.
“They don’t know what is the value of pink color in the life of a cute girl like me, girls love pink. I had told Ashish Chachu (uncle) that I want a pink colored hair clip but he has got a purple one and when I told him that it is not pink, he said that they are the same. You tell me that pink and purple are not the same. Purple is ok but pink is love” She complained cutely blinking her eyes, looking into my eyes with the hope that I will support her.
You knew she looked very cute, she always reminded me of my daughter whom I failed to protect, if she was alive then perhaps my life would have been different today, I would not have been so empty inside.
“Tell me Khani Bua (aunt), I am right?” she put her one hand on my cheek, bringing out of my thoughts. I took a deep breath to compose myself and looked at the little girl who was very angry, I took the clips from her hand and said to her “You are right honey. There is a huge difference between purple and pink. I will scold him but you tell me where he is??”
“Yes, scold him and I will also complain to Dadu (grandpa) that he doesn’t know anything, he is a dumbo ” she squealed in joy and wrapped her little arms around my neck making me chuckle at her antics.
We went to Anita Aunty’s cabin which was at the end of the corridor, she was holding my hand.
I knocked and after getting permission, we entered.
Anita aunty and Ashish bhai (bro) were discussing something sitting on the
couch but when they saw us, they flashed a smile at us but Ashish bhai ( bro) scowled as his glanced at grinning Trisha.
“Come here” Anita aunty said patting beside her on the couch and we went over to her. Trisha was sitting between us.
“What happened to these two??” Anita aunty whispered in my ear pointing towards them who was glaring at each other with scowl on their face
I shook my head with a smile and told her everything to which she chuckled pulling Trisha on her lap.
“Show me your clips” she said to her placing a soft kiss on her forehead who nodded immediately and showed her hair clips to her.
She started complaining about Ashish Bhai (bro) who rolled his eyes at her while giving his inputs about how she
bothered him in the shopping mall. He wanted to buy some books for himself but when this little devil found out that he was going to mall, she requested him to take her with him “I promise I won’t whine about anything, please take me with you.”
He refused at first but melted after seeing her teary eyes but he regrated the moment they stepped into the mall, she started whining and at the end he had to get her lots of chocolates and her accessories but she was still not happy and was complaining about him.
“He’s absolutely wrong. How can he call purple pink?” Anita aunty said to which Trisha nodded her head while we just shook our head at her antics.
“Tell him to get me the pink one” she told her with her puppy eyes to which Anita aunty ordered “Ashish you heard what you have to do.”Ashish groaned while Trisha grinned at him ear to ear showing her teeth.
She was really a drama queen who knew very well how to make everyone dance on her little finger.
“Mom” he opened his mouth to say something but aunty shut him off with stern look “I don’t want to hear anything, You have no chance of winning against my fairy.”
Trisha started jumping with joy which brought a smile on all of our faces.
“Khani Bui (aunt), please come with us” she pleaded me with same puppy face
I would have accepted her wish but what will I do in the mall but before I could refuse her, Anita aunty interrupted “Yes you also go with them, it is already 6 o’clock” He will drop you. “Yes, Khanak please come on, I can’t handle this little monkey alone.” Ashish whined and Trisha shot him a glare
Aunty was right, it was 6 o’clock, I will also have to go home because Pragati was alone. She didn’t say anything to me but I knew that she also needed someone on whom she could lean. I wanted to give her the support that Anita Aunty once gave me and was still giving so I agreed.
I chatted with Anita aunty for some time and then we left for the mall.
We went to the mall and got her pink hair clips along with which she grabbed many other things and when Ashish bhai (bro) tried to stop her, she said that this was his punishment and there was one more
“So tell me what is my punishment?” He asked her to which she smiled widely “you will give us an ice cream party?”
Icecream, she is icecream lover
I smiled at her antic She could light up my mood without doing anything.
“Your wish is my command little devil princess” he said while bowing dramatically in front of her to which she giggled wounding her arms around his neck who chuckled at her “Now take me and Khani Bui (aunt) to my favourite ice cream Parlor.”
Ashish bhai (bro) lifted her in his arms and took towards the car and I followed them.
He took the driver seat and I took the passenger seat with Trisha in my lap
She asked for my phone and I gave her.
She started playing with my phone
“Khanak” I looked at him hearing my name his eyes were fixed on the road
I hummed.
“Karam uncle wants to talk to you and Pragati about her case. He said that he called you but you did not answer his call so he asked me to inform you about this” he told me and I frowned in confusion, he called me but when.
“Trishu baby give me the phone for a minute” I told her.
She gave me the phone and I checked that indeed he had called me but why didn’t I know about it. I checked the phone and as I suspected, it was on silent mode.
I removed it from silent mode.
“My phone was on silent mode” I told him. he looked at me with smile “No problem. Just give him a call”
I nodded and thought to call him after reaching the home so that he could talk to Pragati also.
After five minutes the car halted outside the ice cream parlour and Trisha started jumping happily in my lap making me smile at her
I kissed on her cheeks and she also returned the favour with her extra sweet kisses.
Ashish bhai (bro) opened the door on our side with a little bow while putting his hand on his chest.
“Take me inside in your arms” she tried to speak in stern tone but it came out with a stifled giggle
“The man is at your service madam” he took her in his arms who smiled brightly showing her teeth
“let’s go Khanak” he said.
we walked inside the parlour
“There is an empty table over there” he said pointing towards the empty table. We took that table and sat down
Ashish bhai (bro) opened the door on our side with a little bow while putting his hand on his chest
“Take me inside in your arms” she tried to speak in stern tone but it came out with a stifled giggle
“The man is at your service madam” he took her in his arms who smiled brightly showing her teeth
“let’s go Khanak” he said.
we walked inside the parlour
“There is an empty table over there” he said pointing towards the empty table. We took that table and sat down.
“Let me order” he said, it was self- service here so we had to take the order from the counter ourselves.
“I will also come” she said.
“I know which ice cream you like so you wait here, I’ll be back with our ice cream in just five minute” he told her to which she nodded her head “big one” and added forwarding her hands towards him “Give me your phone, I want to play the game which I saved in your phone yesterday”
He gave her the phone and went to get ice cream for us.
She opened his phone and started playing the game. I ruffled her hair lightly looking at her.
I started wondering what Mr. Bhatia wanted to talk about Pragati’s case because last time when we talked, he said that it was in our favour and Pragati will easily get the divorce, so what did he have to talk all of a sudden.
Did something happen?
The ringtone of Ashish Bhai’s phone brought me out of my thoughts.
“Hello my sweet chachi (aunty)”
Trisha said extra sweetly
Oh she was talking to bhai’s fiancée
I’ve never met her but I’ve heard a lot of good things about her like she was very sweet.
The person on the other end of the phone said something that made her giggle
“He’s gone to get us ice cream. You’re very sweet so I’m telling you a secret Don’t marry him, he’s dumbo” she said in a hushed tone with her head tilted down as if she will hide from everyone.
“He don’t know the difference between pink and purple.” She started complaining to her about Aahish bhai which continued till he came back with ice cream.
This girl will not keep quiet until she told everyone about this. “Who’s on the call” he asked her with raised eyebrow
“Chachi (aunt)” she said showing her teeth, hearing which he immediately took the phone from her
“Give me a minute” he said on the call and looked at me “I’ll be back shortly”
He left giving a glare at Trisha but she shrugged it off.
We enjoyed our icecream but he didn’t come so we went out to check on him and found him still on call. He was sitting on the bench and his ice cream lying beside on him which had melted and turned into a shake
“Chachu (Uncle)” she shouted, which drew his attention towards us.
He cut the call and came towards us.
“Come on, I am dropping you before you start saying that you will take a
cab because I am not going to listen to you” He took Trisha with him and walked towards the car before I could even open my mouth.
I sighed in defeat and followed them but I stopped on my tracks when I heard my phone ringing.
I took out the phone from my purse to see that Mr. Bhatia was calling me
“Mr. Bhatia is calling, you both go, I am coming” I told him to which he nodded his head in understanding.
I answered the call “Hello Khanak”
“Hello sir, Ashish bhai (bro) informed me that you want to talk to me about Pragati’s case. Is there any problem” I asked him.
“No, there is no problem, but I want to meet Pragati before her divorce appearance in the court. There is no need to take tension, the case is in our favour and she will get divorce easily.” I took a sigh of relief that there was no problem. He started sharing the details of the case with me but suddenly I felt a gust of wind passing by
my body. Very familiar
My heart started pounding loudly in my chest and I started feeling strangely restless. I felt peaceful and soothing and a wave of emotions started rising inside me.
what’s happening to me.
