My Heart Snatcher 💖

Chapter-16

His heart was fighting within with his fear. Where one one side he wanted to tell his son that he would never leave him alone and will always be there for him but on the other side his fear was overpowering him. Only because of his son's safety he stayed away from him. He didn't want to give his cursed destiny any chance to snatch him away too. He was the only one who was the reason that he was still alive. His past had made such a strong impact on him that even after seeing Sam's condition he was hesitating to answers him.

"Tell me papa... You won't leave me na.....?" Sam questioned again when he didn't get any answer but Vikrant was still silent. He didn't know what to say. How could he hurt his own son.... He was speechless.

"What are you thinking Vicky.. Tell him you won't leave him alone. Tell him how much you love him...." He heard Dadi who was getting inside the room.

He got shocked as he saw her. She was smiling while tears were continuously flowing from her eyes and when his eyes fell on Avni he felt embarrassed.

"Dadi.. You......" He whispered slowly and immediately looked down.

"Yes me.... I had been yearning for years to see both of you like this...." She was feeling astonished.

"Huhh...." Vikrant realised what she wanted to say. He looked at Sam who was clenched tightly to his chest..

"Nothing dadi... Sam was having a nightmare.... I was just... Just..." He was looking for an excuse.

He slowly took off Sam from his lap and laid him down on his bed.

"Please take care of him dadi..." He said and started walking away. He was not able to face them and answer their questions. He wanted to just ran away from there.

Once again he disappointed them and was about to leave when suddenly Avni blocked his way.

"Why are you so complicated Mr. Kashyap...." She asked and came in front of him while blocking the door with her arms.

"Avni move......" He ordered without making any eye contact with her. He was already going through so much. He had no strength . He didn't want more conflicts.

"Why Mr. Kashyap...so that you can easily ran away from your responsibility like you always do......."She said a little loud. Her tone got so much aggression and disappointment that he couldn't control himself and looked at her.

She was looking direct into his eyes. That gaze was so deep as if it was piercing his soul. Like she could see his inner self. He became conscious and instantly averted his gaze.

"Not this time Avni.... Let me go...." He said while getting irritated. Once again she was challenging him.

"No Mr. Kashyap enough of your self obsessed attitude. Can't you see what are you doing to your son? After looking his condition  with your own eyes how could you walk just like that. I know you have gone through alot in the past but that doesn't mean you will punish your own son for that. He needs you Mr. Kashyap. He is just a small kid who needs his father's affection. We know you love him but you have to show him what he means to you.. Why are you losing this precious time because of what happened in past? Let that go... And cherish what you have now......" She said with so much warmth but instead of calming him, her words were only fanning his anger.

"Stop it...... I told you Avni do not interfere in my life.... You know nothing. I am cursed. So it's better for you to stay away from me....." He warned her while breathing heavily and removed her hand by force and left.

Dadi was looking at her with wet eyes and poor Sam was hiding his face in the pillow.

"See Avni... He won't change.." Dadi said while caressing little Sam.
