Diya POV
I looked at her with shock after she told me that she was Zyra's biological mother. Why is she here and how does she know me ? Is she here to claim her right on Zyru or is she here to claim her right on Vikram ?
Vikram loves me and I am sure he would never leave me even if his ex is drop dead gorgeous. Even if she looks like a sweet person.
She gave me time to compose myself, drinking her coffee in silence while signalling the waiter to get me one more cup of tea for me.
Me: How do you know I am ...
Maya: My prying jobless aquaintances showed me your pictures on insta, that is from where I remember you. They said how you put them in their places, you did a good job. Its difficult to escape from their negetivity and fakeness.
Me: They looked toxic
Maya: They are toxic believe me
Me: So, what did you want to talk to me about ? What is it that you want
Maya: Dont worry I am not here to claim my rights or something. I just wanted to see the person who flawlessly stepped in to Vikram's and Zyra's life and taking care of everything so well.
Me: Thank you, ummm
I wanted to ask her why she left but I hesitated in asking that question
Maya: You wanted to ask me about the reason why I left ?
I looked at her with a guilty expression and nodded my head
Me: I was just wondering that because you missed out on Zyra's milestones and Vikram, he is the most amazing person I know, he just makes me so happy and ... sorry I am babbling
Maya: Its okay, I come from a dysfunctional family, my parents were never there when I needed them, I was lonely and depressed. They dint even talk much and when they did they were complaining and fighting with each other. Right when I needed the escape I found Vikram, he was my classmate and I was attracted to him. In college he was more outgoing, smiling and positive, later I got to know how lonely he was when he was at home. He craved for his father's love, that is when we both bonded on our stories and one drunken night we ...
Anyways, I found out I was pregnant, I was not ready for it but Vikram wanted to take the responsibility, he took me to his house but there was lots of toxicity there, I fought a bit for our rights in that house and that blew up when uncle told us that Vikram himself is unwanted in his house and he went and bought an another unwanted liability. Any women with self respect will never stay there. Because, I was fighting for rights and power, they misunderstood me, uncle thought I was instigating Vikram for property but I was only wanting Vikram to stand up for me and himself. Vikram was hurt by his father's words and he started getting depressed, the sole person who wanted to take care of me and the baby was in his own struggles, one night I went away and stayed abroad for a while.
When it was time for the baby, I came back and handed over the baby to Vikram as I promised him and left to states to finish my education during that time I met my boyfriend who likes me for what I am. Now that I had time to think about it and reflect on my actions I know I messed up because I was scared but now I wanted to visit Zyra once and see how she was doing ... I just want to know her, and I would like to be involved in her life. You dont know how guilty I am about my rash decision
Vikram : Oh hi Maya, but did you forget you have signed off the rights on my daughter ?
Me: I did that, I was young, I was scared, I was stupid and the love, affection and care I wanted from your family dint happen. I am sorry but even now I am not asking you to give her to me, I just want to visit her once in a year and ...
Vikram: Diya lets go, I cant be here
He pulled me from there and while I was collecting the bags I saw that she slipped in her visiting card without Vikram knowing. I went from there with Vikram but I cannot forget the sad expression on Maya's face.
Later that night I saw that Vikram was still disturbed and looking out of the balcony to calm himself, I went and hugged him from the back to comfort him, he put his hands on mine and pulled me in front of him.
Me: Are you okay ?
Vikram: I am just angry how can she just come and try to claim ...
Me: Vikram, I know you are upset about this but think from her side once, when she was pregnant she needed your family's support but she dint get any she was called names like gold digger and opportunist etc, she wanted to move away from toxicity. I am not saying she has done the right thing. I am just saying listen to her side of story, Zyra would always be yours, no one can ever take that away from you. You dont have to be ready to what she is saying, but you can listen to her part of the story.
I know you might be thinking im on her side but no, im on your side, you have a lot of questions and you are suffering because of that, why dont you ask her all your questions and then even you will get closure.
He hugged me and took a deep breathe to calm himself down
Vikram: Arent you afraid that she might steal me ?
Me: Well I trust you but even if you think about it, Zyra and I will team up and make your life miserable.
He chukled at my warning and kissed me on my cheeks
The same night he fixed a time to talk to Maya, I just hope everything goes well and he does not end up getting hurt
