Amore è vita

Chapter 11

Sahiba was sitting on the bench in the garden like her usual routine thinking about the change of events and her selection in the Art Fest. She was staring at the tree in the front when she heard some bushes to which she turned and when she found no one she decided to check once.

She went to the bushes where she heard the voice and found little Prince Singh Brar peeping at her making her frown.

"Prince, dear what are you doing?" She asked unaware of a little child awake so late.

"Wasn't able to sleep, and I saw you coming here so I came after you." He smiled cutely making her frown turn into smile.

"But your mom will be worried." She said trying to make him understand and while she messaged Gurleen that Prince came in the garden and now is with her, safe and sound.

Prince took her finger and both walked to the bench and settled with him sitting on her lap and she covered him with the shawl she was wearing. Prince had sneaked in a few chocolates so he called her tugging on her making her look at him with question in her eyes.

She then nodded questioning him about what had happened. He cutely replied in actions by keeping his index finger on his mouth asking her to stay quiet. When she did the same agreeing to his demand he revealed the chocolates and her eyes went wide in surprise seeing so many chocolates.

"You have done big thing na, I wanted to celebrate." He said making her go gaga on the cute little baby.

"But baby so many chocolates? You ate sweets and if you eat more sweets today you will get bad bacteria and you will not be able to fight it." She said making the little boy's eyes going wide to the new information just told.

But then she saw him relaxing and he said, "My Angad paaji will fight with the bacteria and defeat them so they will never hurt me again." And continued eating which shocked her.

She then said, "Okay but then please brush your teeth before you sleep okay?"

He then smiled and replied, "Okay done."

She found him snuggling into her and when she looked at his face, she found him sleeping silently to which she chuckled.

She then saw Gurleen looking at them lovingly. Sahiba signalled her that Prince is sleeping and then she carried him in her arms and asked Gurleen to take him but the elder lady said, "My arm is paining a little could you carry him to my room?"

To which she agreed and carried the little boy and started to follow his mom.

Angad saw Sahiba carrying a sleeping Prince and screamed, "Where are you taking him, you cheap girl? How dare you kidnap my brother?"

Sahiba stumbled with Prince in her arms who started squirming but she patted him to sleep.

"Angad, stop the nonsense please. He is sleeping can't you see?" Sahiba whispered didn't want him to wake up and saw Gurleen coming towards them with frown on her face.

"You downmarket girl, you have the audacity to answer me back." Angad screamed again.

This made the little guy in Sahiba's arm squirm more and he started sobbing softly but Sahiba patted his head softly making him go back to sleep and then Gurleen interrupted, "Sahiba puttar, you are still here? I thought you were following me. Anyway please take him to my room, will you?"

Sahiba smiled and did as she was asked and Angad was standing there looking at Sahiba with awe. She handled children with such care and softness which he admired.

But he again snapped back into the reality which made him mad. Why was he admiring his enemy? How can he even look at her? How can he even think about that cheat?

'No, she is a con girl. I can't think about her and I would not think about her.' He thought.

Angad didn't know what was happening to him and why was he admiring the girl he hated so much, the girl who tricked him along with her family.

He went into his grief again and moved into his room. Healing a broken heart wasn't that easy and he had no one to heal it.

For instance, he has a huge beautiful family but he has no one who loves him romantically. He wanted love and affection from his woman.

But he didn't have a woman and he is not like Garry who toyed with a lots of girls around using his name, fame and money.

He believed that his ideal woman would be hardworking, dedicated, soft and caring. And when he met Seerat, he got instantly attracted due to her beauty but the thing which made him fall in love was her soft and caring nature. She was smart confident but respectful and sweet but it was all a huge lie which was fabricated for conning him and his family's trust but now he knows better.

He knew that Seerat Kaur Monga just wants money and Sahiba is no better.

He picked up his dark rum and gulped it in one go. He was getting high and then he laid down in the bed thinking about everything again which was his daily routine.

After getting the shock of his life from the girl he loved from the bottom of his heart, he always did a ritual of thinking about everything that happened with him in the last 24 hours and he then makes decisions accordingly.

He used to analyse his situations again at night with an alcohol bottle in his hand and he used to be potentially high with alcohol in his system at that time and then thought about his every single activity including the office and home both.

He knew that he cannot change his past but he can re-shape his future. He can make his life a little better by not getting fooled again. He will not let get anyone successful who is trying to scam him. Angad considered this as his resolution which he religiously followed every night.

It gave him a little peace which he desperately needed. And with that he slept in the same position.
