Second Wife, Second Love.

45. Getting Ambushed.

***Ramya's POV.***

"I really don't want to leave them. I can go tomorrow." As I hold Veer close to me, I say.

"No. You are going today. It has been so long since you have gone home. You Mum must be missing you, dear." Mom says as she packs my bag for me.

"But why do I have to go for two whole days? I thought it was just for one night." I say.

"Because I decided so." She says.

"No fair, Mom. You should have told me. How would I live without you there?" I ask.

"Me or your husband?" Mom asks with a teasing smirk.

"I love you both. And also my Vanu, Siya and Vee-vee." I say and kiss Veer's cheek, who is busy playing with the rubric square.

"What about me, Bhabhi?" Parth asks while playing games on his phone on a chair.

"Oh, you are my baby too, Parth." I say, then turn back to Mom and ask, "How can you ask me to leave my four babies, Mom? How?"

"Because I left them too. God, I used to find excuses to leave them so I can get one day's sleep." Mom says.

"Mom! That's so mean." Parth says.

"Well, I didn't specify. But I used to leave you because you annoyed me the most, otherwise my Shaurya and Reyansh were obedient children and Arya was an angel." She says.

"I was not that annoying." Parth says.

"If spoiling your clothes, breaking your toys to see what's inside of it and running around the house like crazy and getting hurt is not annoying, then also you were still annoying by your stupid jokes." She says.

"Ouch!" Parth says, putting a hand on his heart.

"Parth, what happened?" I ask.

"It hurts. It hurts." Parth says.

"How could you say that about my youngest of all babies, Mom?" I ask.

"I am the youngest? Shravan should be the youngest." Parth complains.

"You are right, Mom. He is annoying." I say.

"What!" He exclaimed and Mom and I laughed, "You both were teasing me. Not fair. Two against one."

"By the way, Mom, did you really have difficulty handling Parth?" I ask.

"Not much. He was annoying." Mom says, then pinches his cheek, "But then he is very much like me in lots of ways. After having two sons who are an exact copy of your husband, I was kind of happy to have my own shadow. He was the cutest of all my children."

"Aww! Mom, I love you the most, too." Parth says and kisses Mom on the cheek.

"Aww! Now I am missing my mum too. I will give her a big kiss, too." I say.

"You can give me a kiss, too." Mom says.

"Why not?" I ask and kiss her on both the cheeks.

After my packing is finished, I kiss my babies goodbye, even the youngest one. Parth is like a baby to me. Sniffy is coming with me, so I at least would have one company. I drive towards Mum's house with a smile on my face, which fades when I remember about Reyansh and where he could be right now. I didn't think about it all day as I was busy with everyone, but now that I am alone, that thought is scaring me.

What he must be doing right now? He told me he would meet her in a restaurant. He also told me the name of that restaurant. Should I just go and look? I mean, what harm would it do? I won't get in anyone's way and I can be as stealth as a cat or as my Sniffy.
