Mute love

This is wrong

" Dadda!! " I heard a voice from my left side.
I looked at Adhya who was looking at us with her doe, innocent and confused eyes.
I immediately got up and fixed my clothes. I look at Anshika, I give her my hand for support.
She stood up with the help of my hand.
" Are you Ok?? " I asked her and she just nodded.
This was really embarrassing, I looked at the floor just to see a toy, I assumed it might be the reason I lost my balance.
" Baby, I told you not to throw your stuff everywhere, right?? See dadda fell because of your toys!! " I said, picking up the toy.
" I am sorry dadda!! " She came towards me with her small steps " Are you hurt?? " She asked with a sad pout, making me chuckle, how cute.
I lifted her in my arms and pinched her nose " No baby, I am fine. You remember I told you that I will bring a friend for you!! "
She nodded.

Anshika pov

I am feeling happy that he is addressing me as her friend instead of babysitter. This will make her feel at ease around me.
To be honest I was nervous at first but now I am excited for this job. This girl is really like a blessing for anyone.
He bring her towards me " Anshika, this is my princess Adhya "
I smiled " And princess this is Anshika aunty, your new friend " He said looking at her.
" Friend?? Really " She screamed in happiness.
"Dadda, put me down, put me down fast!! " She said, slightly hitting on her father's arms and he put her down.
As soon as he did, she stood in front of me.
She asked me to bend to her level with her hand .
I sat on my knees in front of her.
" Are you here to be my friend?? " I nodded and her excitement reached the peak.
" Will you play with me?? " I nodded.
" Will you come to eat icecream with me?? " I nodded with a smile and she started jumping and clapping her hands together " Yayyyyyyy"
And the next moment she clung onto me. Wrapping her small arms around my neck she hugged me.
First I felt something different but then I slowly wrapped my arms on her small body and without my permission my lips curved in a smile. It's good, it feels good to hug her.

After breaking a hug with me she ran to her father and hugged his legs " Thank you so much dadda, I love you!! "

After informing me about my work Aditya left me alone with his daughter.
Right now I was sitting on the couch with her when she was showing me her drawings.
" Why don't you speak with me?? " She asked out of curiosity.
" Don't you like me?? " I felt her voice being sad. I immediately shook my head as no.
I told her in sign language that I like her very much and it was easy for her to understand I guess. But how should I explain that I can't speak?
I don't know if she can read or not but I just tried.
" I can't speak!" I typed in my phone before handing it to her .
It took a good minute for her to get it, she looked at me with wide eyes " You don't know how to speak? " I nodded.
" It's ok honey, it's fine!! " She said, patting my cheeks with her small palm. I love the way she speaks. The time she called me honey I just laughed.
" You don't speak, I speak a lot, we are so different and that's good na!! " She asked and I gave her " How? " look.
" I don't know but that's good, " She said, showing me her teeths.
After talking to her so much I was feeling really good. I hope this job will be easy for me.

I looked back when I heard footsteps, my eyes fell on his black polished shoes at first, and when my eyes travelled upwards I felt my heart racing. He is coming towards us wearing that lavish brown suit. How can someone look so attractive?
" Baby! " He called out her name, making her look at him I noticed her expression changing after looking at him.
" Dadda, why did you change your dress? You said we will stay at home right then?? " Her voice was scared, her dad didn't say anything before tears welled up in her eyes' ' I don't want to come with you dadda please! "She cried.
I felt hurt, don't know why but I felt hurt after seeing her like this. He lifted her " Baby I am sorry, but it's an emergency I need to go and you have to come with me " He said wiping off her tears.
" Don't worry, I will take your friend with us then… .. " Before he could complete she cried again " No!! I want to stay here, at home, please dadda, I don't feel good outside, I feel alone "
" Baby please!! "
" No!! "
He tried to convince her but she was very stubborn so finally he gave up. I can see it was hard for him to leave his daughter alone with some stranger like me, but still he trusted me.
He left us alone in this house.
That day passed well. I had a good time with her. I played with her, I fed her, I took care of her. It feels good.

It's been a week, he trusts me now, he trusts me with his child , because he leaves her with me alone in his house. And I got to know the very heart cracking truth, his wife is not out of station . She is gone, this little girl lost her mom and it hurtful for me to hear this from her. I can understand her pain, because I have gone through it.
I feel sad for him too, he lost his wife and now he has full responsibility of this little girl. I couldn't understand how might have he managed everything alone for two months. He is really strong.
" Honey!!! "
" Honey!! " She dragged me out of my thoughts .
" Can you make me a hot chocolate?? " I nodded with a smile.
She grinned " Let's go then!! "
Sometimes I feel like laughing when she calls me honey, but it sounds as sweet as her. I don't mind it.
" Let's go!! " She repeated with a whin.
She dragged me towards the kitchen.

I opened the door of the refrigerator to take out milk.
" Honey?? Can I make one more request?? " I turned towards her with a milk container in my hand.
I nodded my head in agreement and she grinned. I made my way towards the stove to heat the milk. Now I wasn't facing her, she was standing beside me.
" You know, dadda has been working in his office room for a very long time, he must be tired?? " I smiled at her question, I can't believe she is just four, she loves her dad so much. And I should not say this but I feel good when she mention her dad in front of me. I feel euphoric when he is around.

" Umm??....... Can you make one coffee for dadda? " My smile widened.This is wrong to feel like this. I am engaged and he still love his wife.
I hate myself for saying this but I feel like I am attracted towards him. I shouldn't.
I looked at her, raising both of my eyebrows. She pouted.
" Honey please!! " I stilled.
" Pretty please!! " I stilled.
" For me, please!! " I couldn't help but smile this time before nodding my chin as yes. Her whining pout turned into a wide grin.

She is really cute. Now I won't say I like her, I just love her. Her presence is comfortable and warm for me.

After some time
Aditya pov.
I was working in my office room, as it's a Sunday. I can focus on my work since I have hired a caretaker for Adhya. Life has become quite bearable for me.
My fingers were on the keyboard when the door opened " Dadda!! "

I tilted my eyes in her direction only to see her crying " Dadda"
I panicked.
" Why are you crying baby? What happened?? " I rushed towards her.
" Dadda, please come with me!! " She is pleading but why??
" Honey!! " She hiked up " Dadda, honey… .. "
My heart started beating faster, I gulped " What happened to her?? "
" Dadda please come with me, she is… she is hurt… . " I really don't understand what might have happened to her but fear rushed inside me.
" Let's go!! " She started running and I followed her to the kitchen.

There I saw Anshika, holding her one hand tightly with another one.
" What happened?? " I asked, she lifted her eyes to look at me. I saw tears. She was crying. I couldn't understand what happened but her hand was red, completely red, something like burned.
" Dadda, she spilled hot milk on her hand, please do something "
