DESTINY

TWENTY ONE

ADVITH'S POV

Till I completed my meeting with the defence head it was already 8 in the morning. I entered our room to see Meera trying to feed Ansh his breakfast . Meera was trying to make our son eat by making aeroplane of his Paratha and my son was busy doing every other thing he could do except eat. He just hates to have food . As soon as he saw me, he came towards me with his arms wide open so that I could pick him up.

"Khana kyu nahi kha rahe ho ap?" (Why are you not having your breakfast?") I asked him showering him with kisses

"Ice cream..." He said and hid his face in my neck as soon as he heard meera's voice .

"Take your shower I will arrange breakfast." Meera said taking ansh from me . I nodded and went to do as she said. Once I came back ready to go to work I saw breakfast was arranged for me on the table and Meera was still trying to make Ansh eat . She too had a rough night and if she keeps on cuddling and asking Ansh to eat like this he won't eat that breakfast ....he hates healthy food period all he needs is icecream every time.

"Ansh come here bacha ... I will feed my baby" I said and made him sit on my lap. "Meera please make our plates you will also eat with me " I said and took a morsel of Paratha towards ansh who turned his face to the other side .

Sighing I went with the last option ," Ansh eat now" I said strictly and as soon as he heard me, he looked at me with his big eyes which were filled with tears. I have never scolded ansh so even my strict voice could make him cry .

"Advithji......" Meera said slowly seeing Ansh's tears.

"No Meera he needs to understand that he should never insult food and these things should be taught from childhood " I said and Meera did not say anything future as we have already decided that whenever one of us will scold him or correct him the other person won't speak in between .

I fed Ansh slowly and he ate full Paratha without any more tantrums . Once he had his breakfast I pampered him with a lot of kisses and hugs . "Baby...you should eat food ...you are my good bacha ....papa ka bachaaa" I said in a baby voice cuddling him. Happy with my pampering Ansh, forgot about my scolding and as soon as he saw his favourite car he got busy playing leaving me and Meera on the table.

"How was the meeting?" Meera asked me worried

"Good. It will take two days to calm down everything and arrest all the victims" I said knowing these two days will be very tough
"Where is Mom and Dad?" I asked as we both were having breakfast in our room which
only happen when mom and dad are not at home

"Breakfast get together at one of their friends house" Meera informed me and I nodded after mom suffered from heart attack dad makes sure to spend more time with mom and take her to more of these social gatherings. .

"I need to go to those states I will leave in half an hour" I informed Meera knowing she won't take the news calmly but what she said surprised me , "I will come with you " she said scared and worried for me.

"Ansh is small . we cannot take him there it is not safe " I explained to her calmly understanding her inner turmoil

"Is it dangerous there ? Why do you need to go there? There are armies they will look after the condition and report you....you don't go....." Meera said in scared voice with tears in her eyes .

"Why are both my babies crying these morning? ". I ask her and wipe her tears "meera even those men fighting for us have families and I will not go unprotected....I am the Prime minister the people there are my responsibility " I tried explaining her

"You are my husband...you are my baby's father" she said as emphasising husband and father making me smile . I kissed her forehead and spoke softly caressing her cheeks, "I promise you I will be safe and keep in mind that I have my wife and son waiting for me and you do know that I can do anything to keep them smiling "

"You always use such words and do what you want to do" she said more tears flowing from her eyes

"I promise you I will be back in two days " I said taking her in my embrace

"They are....sob... saying ....on tv .....sob...that they will hurt you....." Meera said between her sobs.

"I will have my security and all these are just useless threats ...I am prime minister I will get many threats like this in future"  I explained to her "you will have to be strong for us"

"Let's go somewhere .... there are different countries...you are a Harvard graduate and even I have completed my graduation....we will do some simple jobs like teaching or in the bank and we will earn enough for our Ansh we will leave peacefully"  Meera babbled making me worried now. she never before behaved like this

"Meera baby looked at me " I made her look at me and asked,  "did anyone said anything? Why are you so scared ?"

"I am scared ....I don't know why but I am ...you ...what if she did anything to you? She did try before she has perfect opportunity now...."  I showed her my palm to stop her from talking more

"Meera what did I tell you about that topic? I don't want to discuss it," I said and was about to stand up when she shouted "but I want to....I will not let anyone and I mean ANYONE hurt you or my baby"

Closing my eyes I took deep breaths to calm myself and drank a glass of water and made her sit on chair. I kneeled before her and held her hands in mine, "baby.... Jaan ....my love I won't let anyone harm me or ansh belive me ...we both are yours . And after the warning you gave her I know that you know how to protect your husband and son very well"

I kissed her forehead and took her in hug when Ansh came towards her and started hitting me . Meera immediately took him in her arms and caressed his hair "what happened bacha?"

He looked no ...he glared at Me and wrapped his hands around Meera and said,  "Ansh ....ma" looking in my eyes trying to scare me making me and Meera laugh loudly

Meera kissed him "yes Mera bacha Ansh ma"  Meera said and both my babies had a smile on their face. Thankfully Ansh made Meera to smile
