I Promise : Echoes Of Suffering

Chapter-23

"The only simple part about being a mother is how effortless it is to love your child."

A child giggles were heard throughout the house as a five year small boy ran through the small yet cozy and beautiful house. He was running from a women who was trying to catch him. His face was filled with naughtiness and a bright smile. He teasingly ran away from the lady who almost caught him.

That lady stopped running behind him getting tired. She glared at him placing her hands on her hips but he just showed his tongue to her causing her eyes to widen by his naughtiness. She hurriedly caught him from the sofa and twirled him.
Taking him to the dining table she placed him on the table kissing his cheek.

"Now momma is tired! So, naughtiness.. My baby will be a good boy and finish his lunch." She cooed to that little boy lovingly.

Arjun still being stubborn nodded in a no laughing cutely while making her sigh tiredly. He hugged her and kissed her cheek lovingly which made her heart melt at her son's love but it was just his trick to run away.

"Arjun! Come back." He heard her tired tone as he ran but slowly it started fading away and his surroundings become dark. He couldn't hear his mother calling him anymore.
Arjun stopped on his track and looked around, nothing was seen. The little soul started searching for his mother. He looked everywhere panicked, but everything was pitch dark.

"ARJUN!" He heard a scream which scared him.

"Arjun!" He heard it again, he recognized the voice it was his mother. Her voice was not playful anymore it was filled with pain, so much.
He turned and saw a light, so he started walking towards there calling for his mama.

His steps halted when he saw some liquid on the floor, his cries were not stopping. The sight was too much ugly for a small boy like him. He was continuously calling for his mother. Lifting his eyes he saw his mother on the floor covered in blood and bruises.

Arjun gasped and opened his eyes, a tear fell down from his blood shot red eyes. He looked around...he was in his study sitting on the chair. Sunrayes were peaking inside throw the window. Arjun was here for the whole night then.
He wiped his wet face, his state was looking miserable... no one can say that he is the devil outside who get satisfaction by people miseries. Several photos were shattered on the desk. He collected all that and safely kept it in their places.

He turned to go out from there when something fell from the shelf causing him to stop. He kneeled down and carefully picked the photo frame.
His tears fell on the picture of son and mother staring back at him. They were looking so much happy in their small life.
It was Arjun who sat in his mother's lap happily and smiling at the camera with his world's most beautiful Maa.
He hugged that frame close to his heart whispering.

"I will avenge you Maa. I Promise."

•Siya's POV•

I closed the file and kept it aside with other ones, looking in the closet again. Taking the files which was shattered I kept it in its place and closed the door. I am searching for my medical reports from half an hour but it is no where, Today I have to go for regular checkup and I am already tired here by doing nothing expect getting ready.

I took the deep breath to calm myself and sat on the bed. I wish I could sleep peacefully now without doing anything but I can't! Here I am not able to stand for a minute too! And that arjun! He had not shown his face from morning.

Now why I have to do everything? He is the one who should take responsibility! Not me!

In between my thoughts, my face fell on my reflection on the mirror, where a glowing pregnant lady was staring back at me. I can't even imagine myself to be like this a year ago. That women was a broken, alone and pitiful but today it's totally different.
Getting up I went near mirror and stood staring at it. Its feeling like not me. My face was glowing like anything, which was making me look beautiful with braided hair and a simple suit. I have gained some weight but with the big baby bump i didnt look that fat.

I smiled sadly remembering how chiku used to poke my belly to see if there's really a baby inside, he was so amazed and he was also sad when I had told him that this baby will not stay with us once it's born.
It was all planned, Arjun will get his child and I will get my chiku back and we would part our ways for ever. But why I have to lose everytime? Why I have to loose both my chiku and this baby?

I blinked the tears back when Vasuda maa entered inside.
"What are doing here standing? Did you get ready, come breakfast is ready" she said with her soft smile.

"I am ready but I can't find my reports, so I was searching for it!" I said and went with her downstairs.

"So! Why are you getting worried, it must be with arjun only!"
I nodded at her words and started having my breakfast.

•AUTHOR'S POV•

A

rjun closed the door behind entering the room. Stretching his tired muscles he went to closet to collect his clothes. He heard his phone ringing but he was not in the mood to take up the call. So he just ignored it and went to take shower.
Meanwhile siya came towards arjun's room and stood at the door only. Her steps didnt move further and drenched in the past in which she had been here. She had not even seen this way from the time she entered the house again.

Siya hesitated to go inside and stood facing the door. Getting raid of the sweet yet painful moments clouding her she turned the door knob and and went inside taking the smell filled in the room.
The entire room seemed like totally different for her, not  same as before.

She heard the sound of water from the bathroom, knowing arjun's taking shower she took the chance to stay there and admire the things which remainded of her past life.
Siya's eyes desperately looked for her and arjun's photo which was placed on the dressing table well knowing that it doesn't have any place in this room anymore.

Siya opened the first drawer where she had left her ankles which arjun had brought for her to find it empty as she knew... but her heart cried to see his love for her.. a little.
Arjun mobile again rang startling her. Calming herself she looked at the bathroom door again to see if he will come out. But seeing the door not opening she went near the table where the phone was placed.. before she could see who it is, the phone stopped ringing.
