*Nisha Pov*
“She is really a cute girl.” I said looking at him.
“Yes!” He said looking at her who is sleeping at present.
When we reached the airport, he took her from me saying, “There are too many people, and she will get hurt.”
I nodded and gave her to him. We both walked towards the terminal after the checking and sat inside the flight.
“My name is Nisha.” I informed him after a few minutes when the plane took off.
“Why are you telling me?” he asked, looking at Ayesha, who is sitting between us.
“I saw that on the ticket, it was Anisha.” I replied.
“I know your name. My secretary must have mistaken it.” He said, and I nodded at him even though he is not looking at me.
I just kept my gaze on the window even though I am actually not seeing a thing. My mind is running with the news finally settling that I have actually got married.
I glanced at him immediately with that thought and saw him, caressing Ayesha’s cheek with a smile on his face, and I smiled looking at it.
He loves his daughter so much! I thought and turned back looking at the window with a feeling that this may not be a bad situation.
I already love her and if I give him time to mourn for Indu Di’s death, then he may become my friend. Then we could work this marriage out perfectly.
I smiled more with that thought because then all this would-be nothing but good in our three lives. Even Indu Di will be happy seeing that her family is glad.
After landing in Mumbai, we all walked out of the airport with him holding her. He has a little bag in his hand, and I am pushing a trolley on which my three bags are there.
“Ouch!” I said looking down to see my toe was passed on by the trolley wheel. I am so not used to this Saree but now I have been wearing it for these many hours. On top of that, this trolley is behaving like I am moving it against its wish.
I looked up to find Sudhir looking at me and frowned. I pulled my Saree tiny little bit up saying, “I am fine!”
He nodded and we finally reached outside. Then I saw a girl walking towards us with a smile on her face.
“Sudhir!” She said hugging him and I just frowned.
“So good to see you again, but shocked hearing the news.” She said, backing away and looking at me nodding.
“Yes! It was all just sudden.” He said waving his hand.
“We can discuss it after the meeting. Let’s go!” She said and called the driver.
He took the luggage from us and took it to some car. She seated in the passenger seat while we three sat in the back seat.
“The house is furnished completely right?” He asked her.
“Yes! As per your wish, I made sure everything is finished.” She replied.
“And Ayesha, your room is beautiful dear.” She added, turning towards us to look at her.
Ayesha just looked at her Dad and placed her head on his lap. He smiled at her and played with her hair.
“She is still not talking to others?” Secretary asked.
“No! She may need a little more time.” He replied.
“Excuse me? Can I know your name?” I asked her suddenly, and they both looked at me frowning.
“Sorry! I just forgot to introduce myself. I am Sanju short for Sanjana. I am his secretary and also a good friend. You?” She asked suddenly, and I looked at her smiling.
“My name is Nisha. I am Indu Di’s cousin and his wife.” I replied and felt so awkward.
“I am sorry for your loss. You must be pretty close to her.” She said smiling sadly.
“Kind of...” I trailed off and looked at him, but he is already looking outside.
We reached some house, which is two storeys independent house. And it looked completely renovated.
When we walked inside I saw what he is speaking about. Everything is newly furnished, and I think he really has a good taste.
“Our clients will be here in ten minutes.” Sanju said looking at the watch.
“Here?” I asked her frowning.
“Yeah! To take care of Ayesha, he is doing meetings at the house. It is very tough to do here, though.” She replied.
“Will you stay in your room?” Sudhir asked Ayesha, and she nodded.
He walked upstairs and went inside a room, making me note that it is Ayesha’s. Then he walked back to us and said, “Let’s go!”
“Where will be the meeting?” I asked him when they both were about to walk outside.
“There is a tiny room connecting to the house. He will have meetings there.” Sanju replied, and I nodded at her.
They both walked outside the house…
*Sudhir Pov* I never thought I would be this scared in my life. I was scared when Ayesha was about to be born, but this time it was more than that. “There is no danger, right?” I asked the doctor as she concentrated on the delivery. “Like I said Mr.Arora. There is a very little complication and no need to worry that much.” She replied, and I tightened my hold on Nisha’s hand. “Everything will be fine Sudhir.” Nisha said with tears falling from her eyes, and her grip on my hand was tight. “You should have told me Nisha.” I said kissing her hand. “I just got to know one month back and there is nothing we can do about it.” She said and screamed with pain. “I love you and please don’t leave me alone.” I pleaded with her. “I love you too, but promise me one thing.” She said taking a long gulp of air. “Don’t say what I am thinking you will say.” I said shaking my head. “Promise me that you will take care of both our kids and take the help of my Mom and Aunt.” She said. “Of course
*Nisha Pov* “Shh... Everything will be fine Nisha.” Bhai said, rubbing my shoulders. “No Bhai! He can’t leave me like that.” I said crying more. “If you be like this, then who will console Ayesha?” He said, and I stopped crying. “She is in the house right?” I asked him, and he nodded. “Ask Bhabhi to let them stay there until we know something.” I said, and he nodded. “I will go and bring some coffee for us. Mom and Aunty will be here along with Uncle in a few minutes.” He said and I nodded, leaning back in the chair but tears haven’t stopped falling. I got up when I heard the operating room door opening. I walked near the doctor and asked, “How is he?” “He is no longer in danger. But...” he trailed off. “But?” I asked him tensed. “The attacks were on the back portion of the head. We need to put him in the observation and hope that he doesn’t go into a coma." He replied. “What?” I asked him in a shocked whisper. “He may not too.” He replied looking at me. “When will he wak
*Nisha Pov* “So how are you feeling right now?” Bhabhi asked as we both are preparing food for all of us. As Aunt requested, we chose to stay here for a few days and then return to Mom’s home. “I am fine, but just feeling little dizziness.” I replied, and he nodded. “I am also feeling sleepy for the number of times in a day and of course my tears want to say ‘Hi’ too for Sudhir the whole day.” I added and we both laughed. “Your brother went through hell at my time or that’s what he says all the time. But inside, they all enjoy these things as they feel connected to the baby growing inside our womb.” Bhabhi said, and I nodded. “Mom told me at my time all these things.” She added, and I looked at her surprised. “Don’t be so surprised. Your Mother is a very good mother-in-law to me.” She said, and I laughed at her. “I am sure she is.” I said sighing. “Hey! She talked so much about you near us. She always was proud of you, but then after your eighteenth birthday, she kind of clos
*Nisha Pov* “Finally!” I said after landing in Pune. “What do you mean finally?” Sudhir asked, holding two bags as, I held one small one and held Ayesha’s hand in the other. “Well, we decided to be here two weeks back, but it took us all these many days to be free to come here. So that is why finally.” I replied. “You know I was busy at the office right.” He said frowning. “Did I say something to you? Don’t worry, we both had our own fun roaming the whole Mumbai in these two weeks.” I said smiling, and Ayesha smiled at me. “And you both forgot about me.” He said complainingly. “You were busy at the office right.” I said and chuckled at his glaring face. “Where are we going?” he asked and I called my Mom to see where she is. “She is at Aunt’s house.” I replied hanging up. “Why don’t we wait by your Mom’s home?” He asked pleadingly. “We don’t have to meet her for the time we stay here if we go there now. Come on she is not that bad.” I replied as he called for a taxi. “That
*Sudhir Pov* “Are you fine?” I asked her when I entered the home and saw her on the couch studying. “I am fine.” She replied, continuing to study. “What did the doctor said?” I said, sitting beside her. “Nothing! Just some casual weakness.” She replied shrugging. “Mom is sad.” Ayesha said, walking towards us and Nisha stiffened. “Why?” I asked both. “She didn’t write the exam well.” Ayesha replied. “Hey! Are you sad because you will not get 90%?” I asked her joking, but she just smiled and continued to stare at her books. “You go and study Ayesha. After one week, you are free.” I said, and she nodded leaving to her room. “So are you really sad?” I asked turning towards her. “No! Just tensed for the next exam.” She replied, and I nodded. I pulled her leg and started rubbing her feet, which got her attention, and she immediately moved her leg away. “What are you doing?” She asked me shocked. “You are tensed and I am trying to make you lose it.” I replied. “It’s ok! You go
*Nisha Pov* “What are you doing?” Sudhir asked, walking inside the kitchen in the evening after returning from office. “I am washing clothes.” I replied and continued to stir the tomato soup. “Very funny.” He said hugging me from behind. “I was not trying to.” I said smiling. But I suddenly yelped when he pinched my neck. I threw a glare at him and then continued to stir frowning. “Did it pained?” he asked. “Yes!” I replied, lying. “Ok!” he mumbled and suddenly started kissing there. “Hey! We are in the kitchen.” I said, trying to release myself, but he has a strong hold on me. “So?” he mumbled and started making a hickey there in short words. “I don’t want to pour sugar instead of salt.” I replied and turned around in his arms turning off the stove. “Looking good.” He said smiling. “Thanks.” I whispered. “I am not talking about you. I am talking about the hickey.” He said rolling his eyes. “Ayesha! What is your Dad’s name?” I shouted from the kitchen, and he frowned at
