Eyes Part II

Chapter 11

I stayed in the room until even. My children tried to make me come out of the room but I didn't come out.

Saad's words were playing in my mind. I'm 100% sure that I didn't use Willa but I'm not sure if I'm using Ivy or not. I married her because I want a mother for my children. So, it means I'm using her.

I opened the door and went to the kitchen because I'm hungry. I had only breakfast, and the biscuits I had kept in the room ran out. And before you ask me why there is food in the room, let me tell you that I spend most of my time there so why not have some food there.

I was going through the bowls searching for food when Ivy walked in. She was shocked to see me there.

"Hungry?" She asked. I nodded. "Me too," she admitted. She went to the refrigerator and took out milk. She poured it in a pan and pug it on the stove. I wanted to ask her something but I didn't ask her. She poured the milk into two glass and added chocolate syrup. She handed me a glass and took the other one. We took a sip.

"I kicked him out and threatened him that if I see him anywhere near the packhouse I would make sure that he doesn't have any children in future," she said. "And I know you wanted to ask what I did with Saad so no need to deny," she added. How can she know it? But I was happy that she did whatever she did.

"I was about to ask why are you hungry at this time?" I lied. She looked at me and I looked at her. We took one sip while maintaining eye contact and then we laughed. Damn, she is funny.

"But really, why didn't you are lunch?" I asked while standing beside the vanity table. Ivy was doing her hair. The conversation which had started in the kitchen continued till our room. And I got to know that she skipped lunch. Why? I don't know and I want to know. She looked at me.

"Don't tell me that my children are everything and didn't left anything for you," I joked. She shook her head with a smile.

"No. Actually,  Saad made my mood off and you..." She stopped.

"What about me?" I asked.

"Uh nothing," she said. "I should prepare dinner," she added and went away.

Maybe we can be friends, I thought and followed her to the kitchen. Reade  Fried rice and egg curry for dinner.

"Where are they?" I asked placing the bowl of curry on the table.

"Upstairs," she said from the kitchen. I went upstairs and saw all the kids watching 'The Good Dinosaur.'

"Come on kids dinner is ready," I announced while taking Akira in my arms.

"Da," Akansha said spreading her arms indicating me to carry her. Soon everyone spread their arms. I carried Akira and Akansha and went down after kissing Jiya, Noor and Aina's forehead. I place them on their seats. I did the same with others. Ivy served us our food and we ate. Ivy and I were listening to their school talks at dinner. After dinner, we retired to our room.

I was about to adjust myself on the couch when my kids barged in my room. I think I have to teach them not to barge in anyone's room.

"Pa, what are you doing there?" Aadhira asked. What should I tell them?

"Your dad was very naughty today so as his punishment I told him to sit on the sofa for thirty minutes before getting on the bed. And your punishment is completed. You can sleep on the bed now," Ivy said taking the situation under her control.

"Mumma, we want to sleep with you," Anmol said making a cute face. He never made a cute face for me.

"Now you want to sleep with Mumma, not papa," I said and faked being hurt. I thought they would console me but instead, they climbed on the bed and took their sleeping position. Ivy shrugged and laid on her side. I laid on my side after switching off the light.

~√~√~

"Ivy, I want to talk to you?" I said, the next morning, was preparing breakfast. The small monsters were doing their homework.

"Yeah, tell," she said while sprinkling some walk in the batter.

"I was thinking that we have to spend so many years of our lives together so why not we be friends rather than being strangers," I suggested and forwarded my hand for a shake. She shook my hand instantly. Although some better got in my hand through her hand, still the handshake was amazing because of the sparks.

I have this gut feeling that this friendship between us will turn into something else.
