Arundathi's POV

All have been going good since our last argument we had a month ago. I was really off the time we had that tuff so I always saw to it that whenever we had these small nok jhoks (silly arguments) we had it resolved till night and went to sleep in peace to sleep. This month we have come a lot close, we went to dates, family outings and spent quality time together. Dev also gave us a surprise when he communicated with Ayu in sign language. I even shed few tears seeing Ayu speaking to him, pouring all her heart out. And I could safely say that I am falling for him. But I didn't yet confess it to him.

Today is yet another day in our lives. I got up and freshened up. Dev came from workout and went in bathroom while I went to Ayu. I helped her bathing and made her ready. I don't know why but since the time I got up I have feeling weird. You know like you get a gut feeling like that I was feeling with those mother instincts of mine hyper active. I took Ayu in my embrace and let her stay like that for few minutes.

"What happened Aai?" She asked me. I shook my head, "Nothing. Just wanted to hug to tight." I wish I could hide you in my arms from the whole world all the time. I sighed silently and took her schoolbag. We came out of room and met with Dev. Ayu went to him and we all three went to have our breakfast. After breakfast we got in car and started towards Ayu's school. All the way ride I held her hand firmly and had her cuddled up to sideways. We reached her school and Chauhan opened my side of door for Ayu to get down.

I made her wear her schoolbag and she got down. I held her face in my palms and kissed her cheeks and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead. "Be good girl. Don't take anything anyone gives and exert yourself." She nodded her head, smilingly kissed my cheeks back waved her hand to both of us and sprinted off. I kept looking at her as she disappeared inside the gate with tears unknowingly filled my eyes. Dev kept his hand on my shoulder and said, "What happened? She will be okay."

"I don't know, since morning I am feeling an unease in my heart. I just want to hide her in my embrace." I said as few drops rolled down. "She will be fine and guards are there near her." I nodded my head and placed it on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me took in a side hug and patted my head.

We reached to office and went our ways. Inside the employee lift I met Tanvi. That Riya was also was there standing infront of us diagonally to give free reactions to all our and other people's talks. We didn't mind her and kept talking to each other. We went to desks and started our assigned work. But I couldn't focus on my work as I do always and was only thinking of Ayu. Is she fine? What would she be doing? I couldn't stop the negative thoughts swirling in my mind.
