Mute love

the disaster

Anshika

I was out to pick up Adhya from her school at noon , with a driver. I know it's not necessary for me to do , she would reach home at any cost but doing such things for her gives me happiness.
And she is the only one who never disappointed me by any means. She is a little cute princess and I just love her.

“ Mumma!! ” she hugged my knees right after seeing me.
I lifted her and smiled at cuteness.

“ You know my new school is so pretty, this is really so so so nice” she spread her arms wide to describe the amount of niceness her new school has.

We walked towards the car and she continued blabbering things about the school.

Driver start the engine and she watched me again “ Oh mumma, why are you looking so pretty today?? ” I couldn't help but smiled at her statement.
I turned to look at her face just to see her mischievous smile which revealed her cute teeth.
Cheeks round, eyes narrowed and scrunched nose. She is damn cute .
I gave her a suspicious look with my narrow eyes.
“ Really I mean you are so much pretty ” she pinched both of my cheeks.
And next moment she removed her hands and put them on her chest “ And hawwww!! ” she widened her eyes “ Your dress mumma?? This is so pretty!! Really really pretty!! ” she said that loudly again and again.
Oh god, so dramatic.
I am not wearing something special and she saw that I was wearing the same outfit at the time of breakfast too.
I stared at her.
“I feel so proud God, my mom is so pretty” I pressed my lips to suppress a smile.

She is buttering for the reason I don't know.

“ Mumma, the day will be so boring if we go home , we should go somewhere else!!! ” she said, folding her small arms around her chest.
I lifted her before making her sit on my lap. She looked at me.
I pecked her pout and pushed her baby hairs to side.
“ Ma'am should I change the way?? ” the driver asked and I looked at her again.
She said looking at him “ Yes uncle please, take it to dadda's office. ”
My smile faded.
No.
I don't want to see that man right now.
She looked at me.
“ Please mumma!! I want to see dadda!! ”
I nodded.
I can't make her sad.
If she is sad, then I will be sad too.

I nodded my chin and she clapped her hands together “ Yey!! ”
She put her palms on both of my cheeks and kissed them one by one “ I love you”
I kissed her cheeks too.
It's not a big deal . It's not like I am going to say something to him. It's not like I can.

Another ten minutes passed like this. His office is just ten minutes away.
I looked at Adhya who was playing with my phone.
I Caressed her head and again looked outside.

He didn't even try to talk to me after making me mad. Like how the hell he left for office like nothing happened. That hurts.
It really hurts.
At least he should have talked to me for two minutes, I never asked for more.
There is no transparency between us and that sucks. He knows everything about me but when it comes to him. I only know the things he allowed me to know.
This hurts so damn much.
Suddenly I felt a jerk when the driver pressed the brake.
“ Ma'am I will be back in two minutes!! ” he said, loosening his seatbelt.
I nodded and he left.
I again looked at Adhya who was now looking outside the window towards the ice cream parlour.
“ Mumma, I want ice cream!!! ” she looked at me.
I sighed looking at her.
It's cold, ice cream is not good for her.
I caressed her hair and denied with a nod.
“ Please honey!!! ” she said with a sad pout.
“Please”
“Pretty pretty please!!! ” her puppy eyes are a powerful weapon.
Hell yeh!!
I nodded.
But I am not actually going to buy her ice cream , but I know she would be happy with just a chocolate bar.
I told her in sign language “ Just stay here and I will be back!! ”
She nodded.

I smiled and stepped outside the car before walking towards the shop.
I was at the entrance of the shop when I realized I forgot my purse and also my phone is inside, how am I supposed to pay.
I turned to go back but something weird happened.
I saw a random dude sitting inside, on the driving seat, that's not the driver.
What the heck!!
I immediately walked towards car but before I could it drived away in opposite direction.
No!!!!
No way!!!
Who's that man
Oh my god!!!
Adhya!!!!
Is that kidnapping??
No way!!!!

I heart started beating faster.
He is taking my baby away.
No
I won't let this happen.
No way

I started running after the car. I can't shout. My eyes sheaded with tears. My throat dried.
I ran after him, as long as I could , until my knees gave up and fall onto the ground.
My whole world stopped.
What the hell just happened??
What was that??
Who was that man?? Where was he taking my baby?
Was he theif, who just wanted a vehicle??
Or kidnapper, who kidnapped her?
I don't know!!
What should I do now??
My heart started racing. My breathing become heavy. I touched my chest with my palm to calm myself down.
My hand travelled to my neck.
It's feeling hot.
Adhya!!!!
Where is she??
“ Ma'am!!! ” I heard someone from behind, felt a touch on my shoulder “ What happened? ”
I looked back, to see the driver.
I didn't realize I was on the floor in the middle of so many people.
“ Why are you crying? What happened? ” he made me stand on my feets “ What happened?? ”
I looked at him and tried to tell him but no use, he won't understand.
What should I do??
Adi!!!!!

Third person pov

When Adhya was sitting inside, her eyes were fixed on mobile phone.
And when she realize that car started moving, she thought it's a driver “ Uncle, mumma is still outside , please wait!!! ”

“ No one gives a shit about your mumma!! ” when she heard a strange male voice she got scared.
She looked out of the window to find Anshika walking towards the car “ Mumma!! ” she screamed and suddenly the man turned in opposite direction and only thing she could see her mumma running after her.
She started crying loudly.
‘Mumma!!!! ”
“ Mumma”
She was crying, she was screaming.
She was scared to death after seeing Anshika running after her.

“ Uncle please stop!!! My mumma is running, she would hurt herself!! ” she cried.
“ Uncle please, stop please, my mumma can't shout, please she is getting worried for me, she will hurt her legs like this!! ” she started crying loudly.
“ Please stop!!! ” she was scared
After some seconds she wiped off her tears and dialed Aditya's number on phone.
And in some rings he picked it.
“ Dadda!! ” she cried with hiccups.
“ Baby?? ”
“ Dadda, honey… … .. ” she couldn't speak.
“ Baby, why are you crying?? “ And just after this question that man snatched the phone from her hand declined it.
He harshly pulled Adhya out of the back seat and put on the front seat “ How the hell you have a phone brat?? ” he shouted on her and now she saw his face for the first time.
And now she got more scared.

Aditya
“ Dadda, honey… ”
Those were last words I heard before she decline the call.
What's wrong!!
Why was she crying?
Did something happen to her?
Did something happen to Anshika??
My throat dried!!
I forgot everything.
Literally everything I was thinking about till the second.
Only thing I can think about is Adhya and Anshika.
“ Jiju, what happened?? ”
I ignored her question and called back.
‘ the number you trying to call is currently switched off ‘
I forehead started sweating.
“ Adhya?? ” my heart started beating faster.
I know the meaning behind her crying.
And this one was really serious.
I gulped.

“ What happened to her?? ” Rashmi asked.
“ I need to go home, right now!! ” I ran out of my office.
“ What happened, at least tell me!! ” she ran after me.
Please be safe, my girls. I don't want anyone right now.
I can't afford it.

“ Jiju, stop!! ”

“ I don't have time for your nonsense Rashmi!! ”
“ I can help you !! ” she was still running after me .
I won't stop her.
I don't have time for that.
And when I was at the main exit of the building someone bumped on my chest.
Basically a female.
And to be more specific, she is Anshika!!
I looked at her, she was crying a mess, her red eyes, wrinkled clothes got me worried.
“ Anshika!! Where is Adhya?? ” I asked being worried and she put her hands on my arms and tried to breath, she inhale, deeply.
She was trying to say something but couldn't. And she just collapsed on my chest.

“ Stop crying and tell me what happened?? ” she continued crying.
I wrapped my arms around her “ Please tell me!! ”
