Suddenly

Chapter 43

SUKHI'S POV
I ran at Aarav's school and looked that all the gates were closed. Shit! How could I forget him? I started to panic and I called Arjun "A-Arjun, I forgot to pick Aarav from school" I cried and kneeled down. That day was becoming a nightmare, I started crying in the middle of the road. "Sukhi, calm down. Where are you? We will look for him together" he said on the other side of the call "I-I am outside of the school, w-what if I-I can't find him anymore?" I sobbed "Shh, I am in the cab and in a few minutes I will be there..Try to breathe" he said and I looked over at the security guard and ran to him with my phone in my hand "Sir, have you seen a five year child with blue sweater and black pants?" I asked him "No miss, I just came here to check the locks" he answered "But I heard that there was an accident" the guard said and I throw my phone on the sidewalk. "It's all my fault, How could I?" I cried kneeling down again not knowing what to do suddenly I felt someone calling "Sukhi, get up" Arjun called me and helped me to get up "He will be fine, I know him" he comforted me and picked my phone up "I am the worst mother ever. He doesn't even know how to cross a road..Please find him" I sobbed and Arjun hugged me "Sukhi, please try to calm down he will be here" he patted my back and I cried. Just then Arjun's phone rang and he picked up "Yeah Mum?..We are trying look for Aarav..What? He's there? How?..Okay, we will come" I looked up to him and he took my hand and brought me in the car and he drove home. When we arrived at home, I was still crying. I couldn't even imagine a day without Aarav and because of my stupidity I was about to lose him, he was my world and losing him would have killed me.

I ran inside the house and when I saw him sitting on the sofa doing his homework, I kneeled down and hugged him "I am sorry..I am sorry..Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?" I asked him and he took my face in his hands "Mummy, I am fine. Don't cry, it hurts me to see you like this" Aarav told me and I hugged him tightly "I will never leave you, no matter what..I just need you and no one else" I told him and he patted my back "I am sorry too for making you worry, Aarav will be a good child" he said and I broke the hug shaking my head "You are already a good child, the best child I could have asked" I said and he wiped my tears away "And you are the best mummy" he told me and I laughed. "That remind me of Arjun when he didn't come home after school" mum said and I turned my head to find her and Arjun looking at us "Come on, Sukhi. You don't even drink as much water as you are taking out from your eyes" Arjun said and I wiped my tears laughing and standing up while still holding Aarav's hand. "Thank you mum for bringing him at home" I told her and she looked at me confused "Oh, I didn't..I thought you did" she said and I shook my head confused just then Aarav pulled my hand "I came home thanks to a friend" he said "We should thank his parents then" I said smiling but he shook his head "He was a big handsome man" he said and I got worried "I told you many times Aarav, don't talk to strangers" I explained him again but he smiled "Mummy, he wasn't a bad stranger, he even bought me an Ice cream and made sure I reached home safely" he told us and I sighed "What if he could have kidnapped you?" I asked him "Mummy, I am not a child anymore. I know" he said and Arjun laughed "Still, You are not going to do that again, Okay?" I asked him and he nodded "But you can thanks him at least, he was nice" Aarav said "Yeah, we will thank that handsome man" Arjun said and I sighed "If we will meet him, sure for now do your homework" I said and he sat down on the sofa, while everyone else.
I sat next to him after taking shower and looked at him "Mummy, Aarav loves you so much " he said while doing his homework and I smiled "Mummy loves you more" and pecked his forehead "Mummy, my hair, I want to become like that handsome man" he complained and I laughed "Sorry sorry, but you are already handsome" I told him "Really?" he asked me "Of course, my prince" I replied and he blushed a little before continuing his homework.

"Sukhi?" Arjun called me while we were having dinner "I talked to Ahaan's friends today" he said and I tightened the fork "We might start working from tomorrow evening. Maybe you can meet Ahaan tomorrow morning and ask him their preferences. We might need to organise their engagement first" he said and I felt as if someone stabbed me "Do I really have to call him? I mean can't you?" I asked him "I would have, but since you take care of this stuff it will be the best for our company. Moreover, you are good at handling clients" he said and I nodded but deep inside I wanted to run away instead of facing him however I didn't have any other choices.

I sighed before entering in the café where Arjun told me to meet Ahaan. I took a deep breath before going towards a table and sitting on a table while waiting for him. I guess I was early, I looked at the clock "9:30" I repeated to myself and a waiter came "Good morning m'am, would you like to order?" He asked me "I will wait" I told him and he nodded. I felt my hands sweating because of the nervousness.
I looked at the time "10:45" and I didn't know what to do, tired of waiting I took my phone out of my purse to call Arjun but just then I felt someone standing in front of me. "Hey miss Sukhi" he greeted me and I stood up shocked "Please sit" Naira told me and I did. Come on, Sukhi. You can do this. "Sorry for being late, Ahaan didn't told me about the meeting and when he told me it was already time for the meeting. Hope he informed you" she apologised with a smile and I was confused since I didn't received anything. As I was about to say anything Ahaan talked "Sure, I sent Miss Sukhi a message, right Sukhi?" he asked me and I felt that he did that on purpose but I didn't want to make a big issue about it so I just nodded while staring at him.

"Well, as you might know before organising anything we need to know some preferences, like for example the functions you want to do and the colour as the highlights and many other things like this" I informed them and Naira nodded and Ahaan seemed a little disinterested but I ignored it. "If you don't mind, I have a plan for your engagement event. It's new, I just prepared while waiting for you. So you can take a look of it and tell me if you like it or not" I told them showing my laptop with different images and details. They both looked at it "I really like it, it's unique" Naira told me and I smiled. You are doing great, Sukhi. "No, I don't want this. I don't like it" Ahaan told and I looked at him, I didn't know if he was doing on purpose or not but deep inside I know he was. "I want something special for my babe" he told underlining the word 'babe' "So I already made a file of the different type of decorations and all" he said while giving me a USB drive and I nodded, kind of hurt.

"That's amazing babe, when did you do?" Naira asked after watching it "Last night" he said and she hugged him "Thank you" I closed my hands in fists "Well, then here is done. We will try to make it like that, Sir. Thank you" I told him professional and he nodded "No problem, I've always wanted this for my marriage" Ahaan said staring deeply at me "Will be granted" I replied while closing the laptop "Would you like to have lunch with us?" Naira asked as I stood up  "She must be busy with our engagement, right Sukhi?" Ahaan asked me and I nodded "Yeah, I am busy. You should guys enjoy this time together. It's really important" I told them while giving the realistic smile I could give "Have a good day" I told them and with that I went.

I didn't know why was he behaving like that? If he was trying to hurt him, he was successfully doing. I held my tears while putting the things in my car. Just then a message popped with an unknown number.
I opened:
"There shouldn't be any mistakes. A.P"
Now I knew he was doing this on purpose and I wish he stopped.
