"Sumedh" She hardly said and her voice cracked.

(Mallika's pov)

I just couldn't handle myself anymore from exposing my existence to him... My both the child were very little and I didn't want to ruin their childhood since ai already did it with Shrey. But still I couldn't go back to him, to my son.... Though I craved a lot.... Finally I could meet them but could not go back.

"After....years...Mallika" He said....

But my ears wanted to hear jaan.... I wanted to throw myself in his arms. But I couldn't ruin their lives... Couldn't mark patches on their destiny.

"How're u Sumedh?" I asked wiping off my tears...

He smiled sarcastically making me feel more guilty.

"Why do u care?" He said, it hurt me... Deeply.

"Assuming me as a stranger, u can also answer me formally" I said holding back ny tears.

"But I'm bound to give my health regards to any stranger!" He said again a bit rudely.

"haha.... Fine!! Then u could've moved on... Rather u chose to talk to me" I taunted him.

"Cause I'm not like u.... I couldn't ignore...."

"U r not like me right? Well... I'm like that only na still... Rude!! So bye..."

I looked at the children, who were hell confused about our conversation... I kept my palm on Shrey's forehead and held Medha to leave but stopped hearing Sumedh.....

"Who is Medha, Mallika?"

"My daughter" I said.

"Medha?? U mean someone else's?" He asked in a shocking way. But what's there so shocking?

"Medha is definitely my child. When u couldn't be like my expectations, why it would be only me to pursue the changes in me as per ur wish? Why can't I moveon?"

I just pursed a smile on my lips.
I didn't reply him further and Marched my steps away from them.
The only thing I could understand, he wasn't being able to find out the real matter that day too and today also his perspectives have not changed. I wonder if he could ever understand my love for him. What could I say more? I had created the sin myself afterall. I saw him standing numb there, his eyes held fresh tears though he didn't say but I understood his need for me. I could understand his cravings for me. I just wished to caress my son's soft frame. I can't deny, I'm his mother. He is the piece of my body..
(Pov ends)

"Papa u knew that aunty? But how? Papa this is the aunty whom I had met that day"

Shrey continued to ask questions but Sumedh could not say it out that the lady was none other than hus mother.

"Idk why I'm feeling like crying?? Why I'm feeling weak for that lady? Who left me just bcs of a silly misunderstanding? What did she try to prove going away from me?"

Sumedh thought and closed his eyes stopping the tears to not fall.

"Shrey, I'll tell u once when u grow up. Now sleep.... Papa is very sleepy" Sumedh said to which he was not convinced.

He understood that his father was silent for some reasons only. But couldn't dare to ask further. Sumedh gave him a new packet of crayons and being a child his mind diverted completely seeing those. He explored the new crayons.

"Champ, not now... I said na... I'm sleepy. Let's sleep. Do it in the evening with Dadu" He said and both lied down on their bed for a short afternoon nap.

But sleep was far away from him. He couldn't think anymore other than Mallika and Medha.

"Why did u leave me that day Mallika? Was this the only reason?? U....wanted to.... Be... with... someone else that's.... why?" His voice was low as it cracked in his throat.

"How dumb I am.... That I was unable to understand the matter"

He smacked his forehead and tightly closed his eyes letting the tears to melt down. He thought how unlucky his son was to get such a mother.

Mallika's side
She was crying her heart out in Puja's lap. Looking at the sleeping figure of Medha her heart clutched more, she cried some more. Her eyes swelled up,  her nose tip red like tomato.

"Why did u go to meet them Mallika? To let urself suffer like this?" Puja said in a concerned tone.

"Poo... It's been 6 years.... Ik only how I con... Controlled... Myself from taking.... Any wrong step... That... That... That... Could harm my.... Kids"

Mallika said between her sobs.

Puja was finding her speechless or lack of words to console her, cause she knew everything happened in these years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After crying for almost more than two hours, she fell weak. Puja laid her on the bed. She slowly mumbled in her hardly audible voice.

"How beautiful the moment was, when I held Shrey in my arms. I pressed my lips on hus forehead pouring my love. After that.... Again I got the chance to hold my little one Medha.... I missed Shrey the most when I held Medha. My tears refused to flow that day while I stayed silent, Medha was the only reason I lived these years away from them."

Then she looked at Puja who was at the verge to cry. She let out a sarcastic yet hurt chuckle.

"Don't cry Poo.... It was my fate.... Abd I'm lucky to hace a friend like u in my fate who took care of me, this much"

Puja hugged her firmly and kissed her forehead softly.

"Take rest Mallika.... Medha's schooling is starting from tomorrow. As we've shifted to this city finally. The thing I'm just hoping to nit happen is just ur meet with ur dumb head so called husband"

Mallika rolled her eyes on her words.
"Huh!" Puja muttered a curse under her breath before leaving.

Mallika smiled a bit and closed her eyes to take a peaceful nap.
