An Unexpected Life Companion (Completed) Watty's 2024

Chapter 7

Diya POV

I woke up early in the morning today to finish my brisk walking before Zyra wakes up. I wanted to adapt myself to Zyra's schedule, now that I am going to be a mother to her. I am looking forward to being there when she wakes up because the smile she gives early in the morning is too cute to die for. We fall in love with her all over again.

In these few days I have learned a lot about Zyru, she is a very happy baby and she loves it when she is pampered.  She feels extrememly happy when we listen to her babble and reply back to her in our own words. She is actually a semi late riser like me but I would like to finish my shower and breakfast before she wakes up because once she does wake up she needs her people around her. She loves mashed potatoes and bananas. She loves to throw kisses at me and Vikram but those are all wet saliva kisses, we always have to keep the tissues handy when she does that. She loves colours in general and if we leave her with them, she is smudged with all of them in a few minutes, we get annoyed at her energy but the smile which she gives after her mischief makes us swoon and forget what she did.

When I do my brisk walking around our mansion I mentally note what are all the things pending before I get married

1) Resign from my company back in USA, visit there clear out all my bank accounts. Pay my rent and fed ex my stuff over night. Meet my friends I made over there and give them a last good bye.

2) Submit the MBA applications I have filled up and do the ground work before college starts so that I am ready

3) Discuss my schedule with Vikram and Aunty so that we could figure out a way in which atleast one of us is there with Zyra when we are at home

4) Find a preschool near to my college and his workplace, that would only be figured out once I get the admission

5) Get our marraige registered and adopt Zyra - This is actually the most important thing in my list

I was still working from home till now, so I would be working until I finish my notice period. I have to find a college aligning with that too, hopefully they agree to relive me in one month. 

I am pretty sweaty by the time I am done and I rush to finish my shower. When I got out of the shower in my towel I saw Vikram in my room.

 Oh shit, I forgot to lock my bedroom door !!

Me: Vikram, what the hell are you doing here ??

I shreiked while he turned his back to me rushing outside the room and I locked the door.

Damn, did he see me ??

Diya, he was the one who was inside the room, he should be apologetic and embarassed. Not you, its all on him. 

Why did he come into the room ??

I saw the marraige registration papers on my study table and understood that he might have come in to drop off these papers not knowing that I was in the shower. I mean, he does not like me so why would he be a peeping tom ?? Ugh Silly Diya, when there is a girl in the towel, guys lose all the logic, they would just like to stare and ...But did he get a look??

Dont think about it Diya ... Just act normal

I dressed up and he was already in Zyra's room prepping the diaper changing table. 

Okay Diya, act normal 

I went near Zyra's crib and stood looking at her peaceful sweet looking face and smiled to myself. Just looking at her makes my morning, aww she is so cute. 

Vikram : Diya ??

My heart was thumping ... Is he going to mention anything ?? Is he going to embarass me ??

Me: Hmm ?

Vikram : Once you finish off with the registration papers can you please leave it on my study table ?? I will start with the other proceedings.

Me: Okay ... Sure, Thanks 

  Okay that went normal, too normal and casual. I was right He is Vikram and he isnt really fond of me, so it did not really make any difference or effect him. 

Me: I wanted to let you know that I would be booking my tickets to USA to resign and get my stuff back. Would be leaving and coming back in 5 days. 

Vikram: Okay, but let me do the bookings. I have to talk to the security agency and assign two people while you are there. 

Me: Alright, I will ping you the dates

Vikram : Okay

By the time we finished the conversation and looked at the crib, Zyra was watching us keenly looking all fresh and excited for the day. I picked her up and smothered her with kisses and a big hug after which she lay her head near my bosom, nestling her  nose near my neck .... Aww so cute. 

Vikram : Okay Zyru, you forgot about your dad. Very bad.

When she heard his voice she giggled and jumped on him. He caught her and gave his share of kisses and she was giggling by the end of it. After that he went on to change her diaper, all the while animatedly talking to her in her language.

He is a great dad

Looking at Vikram with his baby made me realise one thing, he is very carefree, charming and loving towards her while he is indifferent towards me. I dont know how he did it as a single dad, taking care of a ailing father and business. Its really commendable of him.

Vikram's song on the side - Video aligning with Vikram-Zyra father and daughter realtionship.

*For this movie Chiyaan Vikram earned lots of accolades for playing a intellectually disabled single dad, who takes care of his daughter. This movie made me cry. Hope you like this song.

This is the song from the same movie when he finds out he is going to be a dad.For an intellectually disabled person, the excitement and love he shows is amazing.

Regards,
