Exhausted, Anika threw herself in the sofa and dozed off. Mwa, Advik shouted happily seeing his mom after missing for a whole day. Anika all tiredness went away listening to the melodious voice of Advik, she immediately got up and pulled Advik into a tight hug peppering him with the kisses.
Mommy too missed her little baby a lot. Anika said, pecking advik's cheeks.
Rose, you can leave now and tomorrow is holiday for my college, so you don't need to come tomorrow. Anika smiled at the caretaker.
Okay, mam. Then I'll take a leave. Bye adu. Meet you over morrow.
Rose Left waving hand at them.Anika and Advik waved their hand at the retired figure of rose and smiled looking at each other face.
Mother and son time onnnn!
Both shouted excitedly, running inside the house. They tuned the music in high volume and dancing manicly holding each other hand, then they went to kitchen and cooked half burnt alu puri. Then they team up to clean the mess they created and messed up the place more than before. Then came the bore time of the day for advik, study time. Anika teaches Advik alphabets and when it comes about studies Anika became a strict mother, no escape or cheating.
Anika covered blanket over Advik and looked at the clock, and it shows past 10. She pecked advik's forehead and left downstairs, hearing sound in downstairs.
Shiv…ah she stopped seeing him already dozed off in sofa. A sudden guilt formed inside her chest seeing his state. She lifted his leg hanging leg and placed it on the sofa. Just some more days everything will be fine. Anika whispered and ruffled shivay's messy hair. Shivay smiled in sleep feeling anika's touch and hugged her arm mumbling his ex-wife's name. Anika passed a sad smile and sat on her knee beside sofa.
Shivay, she called. Shivay hummed in sleep tightening his grip on her arm.
Do you still love Anita? Anika asked and waited for a answer.
Say shivay, do you still like Anita? She asked again.
Y..yes...Anita..I love you and I will do till my last breath. Shivay smiled foolishly.
I too love you shivay. Anika confessed and shivay mumbled I knew that.
But not this shivay. Anika said and shivay's face fell off .
This is not the Shivay I loved. I didn't love this drunker shivay. Where's the shivay who run a rehabilitation center to give rehabilitative for youngsters? I asking you. Give me the Answer? Anika asked little loudly. If you loved me truly then quit drinking. Throw that alcohol bottle away. Anoka shouted.
No..no.. I'm not drinking nowadays. That Anika throw Away the bottles if I get them home so I didn't get a chance to drink? Shivay complained in his half sleep. So you are not drinking because that Anika is not letting you drink it she isn't there to throw then you'll drink isn't? She asked angrily and shivay remained silent.
You should quit it for yourself not by anyone's insistence and btw what you are doing in afternoon near bar? Did you went to drink? She questioned.
Don't get angry Ani? I didn't go on my own. That Anika hena because of her I went there.
Shivay confessed holding her arm tightly smelling her trying to remove it.
Even though she is annoying and irritating, she is a nice girl. She is taking care of Advik nicely. Advil too like her company a lot ( spreading his arm) Don't Tell anyone. Sometimes I feel jealously seeing thier bond. She cook food for us even though she can't cook well. I have borrowed money for her college fee from my Friend. That punk. He had more than one crore from me when I am in bussiness, now for 30,000 he is treating me like road side thrash and sending his men to claim his money. So I just went in search of job. In that price I went to bar asking for work but they also freed thier hands. Shivay said making a sad face.
It would be good if mom see the message and credit money quick.
