My Sweet And Sassy Love

|| EPISODE 6 ||

Sarah stood by the fence, lost in thought, her heart heavy with the weight of her memories. The shadows of her past loomed over her, leaving her feeling like a lonely and pained soul. It was unfortunate that she felt she couldn't share her pain with anyone; the fear that her friends would see her as a burden haunted her. Looking at the children playing, she found a glimmer of solace. "At least they will never be alone, right? They become each other's family. They'll grow up with a big family, and they will always have me," she reflected, a bittersweet smile briefly gracing her lips.

Gautam uncle, standing under the large Banyan tree, noticed her contemplation and approached. "Sarah beta, you are here today!" he called out in his gentle voice.

She turned to him, the kindness radiating from his presence providing her a moment of comfort. "Hello, Gautam uncle. How are you? Are the children doing well?"

"They're doing great. They were really happy after receiving the gifts you sent. But they were a bit sad since you weren't around to give them," he replied, his tone warm and understanding.

"I know, uncle. I try my best to make time for them. I don't have much else in my life except them and our business. I work hard to earn as much as I can so that I can give them everything they need to be successful," Sarah explained, her determination evident.

"I know, beta. But you also need to think about yourself, okay?" Gautam uncle said, concern etched on his face.

"Okay, uncle. Now let's go inside. I brought handmade cookies for all of you and balloons for the children," she said, her smile brightening as she spoke.

Gautam uncle instructed one of the staff members to set aside the cookies for later, after playtime, and took the balloons from Sarah's hands. "Let's go, let's go! They will be really happy to see you, especially our little one, Pihu," he said, leading the way toward the playground.

As they approached, Gautam uncle called out to the children, "Bachho, look who is here!" Sarah, who had been hiding behind him, jumped out in front of the children.

"It's me!" she exclaimed.

"Wwwaaaaaa! Didi... didi... didi is here!" the ten children shouted in unison as they rushed toward her. Sarah crouched down on her knees, embracing them all together in a warm hug.

"Ohhh, I'm really sorry for being away. But today I have good news for all of you! I'm going to spend this whole week with you, my kids, and we're also going on a trip on Wednesday!" she announced, excitement bubbling in her voice as she released them from the embrace.

"Really? Wwoooow, that will be so much fun! We love you, di!" they exclaimed, kissing her cheeks one after another.

"I love you all too!" Sarah replied, joy illuminating her face as she returned their kisses.

The scene was really beautiful, children who were abandoned by their own parents, found a family of their own, Gautam uncle as their father and Sarah as their sister. They get everything whatever they need. They all are really happy, smiles never living their faces. 

Sarah and children started to play with each other while holding their Balloons in their hands. Gautam uncle went to kitchen to supervise the preparation of lunch. They can here loud and cheerful laughter of children and Sarah, which automatically brings smile on their faces too.

 At Singhania's Raajmahal, Udaipur

 The early morning was still and quiet. Aryan woke up at 5:00 am, and after freshening up, he strapped himself into his tracksuit and turned on his phone. Some of his favorite songs played as he ran his six-mile morning route. An hour later, he returned, ready to hit the gym.

He started his workout with the speakers playing at a decent volume. He went through his full body circuit routine and then moved on to hardcore exercises before hitting the weights. In the weight section, he removed his t-shirt and started doing curls with dumbbells. He was sweating vigorously. Aryan enjoyed exercising and hitting the gym; it helped him clear his mind, stay focused, and maintain his perfect physique. By 7:00 am, he had finished his training. He wiped himself off and headed towards his room for a shower.

After showering, Aryan emerged wearing a towel around his waist. He walked into his closet and chose his usual formal blue business suit. He picked up his Rolex and put it on while walking out of his bedroom with a laptop bag hanging on one shoulder. He looked dashing, like a model straight out of a magazine. He took the elevator down to the dining room, where everyone usually gathered at this time for breakfast.

A lady in her fifties, Ritika, was sitting at the dining table, waiting for her son and other family members to arrive. Her brother-in-law, Gaurav, and her sister, Lalita, greeted her.

"Good morning, bhabhi," they said.

"Good morning, Gaurav. Good morning, Lalita," Ritika replied.

"I wish my Aryan would find someone who truly loves him like you both love each other. Even at this age, you two are still quite the lovebirds," Ritika said with a smile.

"Bhabhi," they both blushed. "Even we want the same for him," Lalita said with a sad face.

"What to do, bhabhi... he just doesn't listen. You know, bhabhi, Pooja and I keep arranging dates for him, but he keeps messing them up. We have to emotionally blackmail him to go on these dates," Gaurav added.

"I know, Gaurav. Everyone is trying their best to convince him, but I don't know what to do about his stubbornness. I just hope the right girl comes into his life and he won't be able to deny it," Ritika sighed.

"We hope she comes soon and makes his life even brighter," Lalita said.

Aryan entered the dining room and greeted them, "Good morning, Maa, Chachi, and Chacha." Everyone greeted him back.

"What were you all talking about before I came in?" Aryan asked, sitting down to have breakfast.

"The usual. How you keep messing up the dates we arrange for you," Gaurav glared at him.

"What can I do, uncle, when the girls say no from their side? I can promise you to go on those dates, but I can't promise they will go well," Aryan said, rolling his eyes. He only came to Singhania Villa, a royal villa situated in Udaipur, to spend quality time with his family on weekends. But they always started with their marriage talk, which irritated him to the core. The company's headquarters were in Bangalore, so he was settled there for work.

Pooja entered the dining room and started hitting him playfully, "You idiot, you fool... ughhh... I just can't understand how a person can live without marriage! Brother, you are really wasting your handsomeness and capabilities."

"Look, all of you, you know I am not interested in this love or marriage nonsense. So please don't ever force me. That is all I can say. Bye. I am going back to Mumbai today because of an urgent meeting regarding a project. See you all. I will call you whenever I am free," Aryan said, leaving the dining room. He went to his garage, got into his black Audi R10, and drove off to the airport.
