SWEET DECEMBER ( Completed) ✅️

chapter 31

I had no words to describe how I felt sitting here locked up in his hotel suite. He refused to sign our deal saying I am still in love with my husband. When Varad spoke those words, it felt real for a moment. Does he think of our son that way?

" Ma'am you are free to go now." His staff opened the door. I am glad Vasisth stayed back in parking lot waiting for me. His constant messages and support made me strong.

Walking towards my only friends car, I broke down like a baby. He consoled me but I know how hurt Varad might be now? Will he believe if I say, I didn't touch shubam?

"If he doesn't. You always have me and my mom.  Ok?. Idhant is my son too." Vasisth spoke. I was grateful to have a friend like him during my worst phase of life.

"I know." I replied. He drove our car straight my home while I sat silently waiting for some miracle to happen.

"Here, go home. Tell him what happened today morning. Give him time to think about you two. Lastly, don't leave like this again! For God's sake he's father of your son! You both had intimate moments to cherish. Above everything, whatever foolish stunt he has made by getting DNA test done on Idhant, he still chose you.  Remember our soul might leave our bodies not our love that's why people are born again to experience, feel, that love. He lost his mind for you not memories." Vasisth spoke as I looked at him wide-eyed. It was my mistake to share that giddy feeling I had after our intimate moments. Nodding my head I walked inside our home, waiting for him to accuse me. Our nanny smiled at me widely with a wink. Perplexed what is happening, I walked further to see, little chef hat on our son matching with his father.

"Mmamamam!." Idhant shouted making bee-line for me. I had no words or anything to say him.  If loving is what costs me my life, I would definitely give it in the name of my son.

"Took you long enough!." That was the 1st sentence  by my husband. He hugged me and kissed my lips affectionately.

"I.. I am sorry." I said stealing glances at him.  He strapped our son in high chair , placed food on his table and pulled me with him to our room.

"What you did is stupidity Oishani. This is not a movie. That book written by your parents, it has all the research work done by them. I made akshat submit them at the court. Shubam will get court notice for all the things we had done wrong. They have written it and signed stating this is the proof of their work. So whatever shubam has done, he will pay for it. You don't need to act like super woman." Varad said making my eyes go wide.

"Just be my wife and a mother to our son. Work wherever you want or just don't. I don't mind. Don't ever play these games. I lost you once without even knowing how. Now I can't take risk of happening the same thing again. You are worth more than that company, life, your parents research work and most importantly my memory." He spoke pulling me close to him.  I cried holding his collar. Who thought he will be this understanding?

"But my parents they were killed. I need to prove that. Shubam is influential, he will get out for sure. Also-" He stopped my rant by kissing me slowly. We both lost eachother in our own world when he heard loud clinking noise from dining area.

" One at a time. Once research papers and patents, permissions taken by your parents for that program is verified and submitted to the court. We will open up this one too. I fucking don't care what he does now. No one I repeat no one can touch my woman and child." Varad said leaving me alone to attend our son who was giggling as soon as he spotted my husband. I sat on bed contemplating what all happened in these 3 days. How can shubam casually let that book stay in his cabin? Why is he so careless or did he not think I will somehow find it?

*********************

1 month later

I walked past reporters and media holding my son close to me. Varad was waiting in our car. He made sure to get it ready as media is hounding us with questions I am not ready to answer. Shubam got arrested and court ordered me to stay in the city. He got stuck when they raided his house for papers but found large amount of drugs. At last God has given him punishment!

" Dada!." Idhant shouted jumping into his lap. Varad patiently held him and drove us off. I still can't believe, the book which my parents have hand written has become key witness and source to pull out illegal activities by shubam and his uncle. Varads friend police officer whose name I completely forgot helped us too. Apparently he is still in love with Isha but she chose to stay away. Hopefully one day, they will unite and be one.

"Now that he's arrested. Why don't you contest as Ceo of that company? Legally it should be owned by you." Varad spoke looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders. All the papers I had found at my closet were submitted to the court. Our lawyers were sure that we won't be held responsible for anything and even Varad's accident is being probed as he gave a statement and proof of getting intoxicated by shubam.

"You seem to be lost." He commented.

"I don't know how my life is going on. Thought their book won't be of much value. Now everything is turning good for us. Through that book,  papers, statements from different people and transactions for patents payments , everything is adding up to the missing parts. Why did it take so many years for me to stand up and fight for my parents? Why did I chose to avoid you when you could have helped me raise my child, get this mess sorted?." I spoke looking out of my window.

"Its a long process but we will get to the bottom of it. Don't you think starting is important? We are still young. Idhant came into my life just few months later which I regret but I accepted it.  I don't say you are at fault completely, somewhere my parents, sister are at fault too. Just like I accepted my memory loss, I am willing to move forward with whatever I am offered." He spoke adjusting our son on his hip. We walked into our home silently each thinking about our own problems.

"My parents, they mentioned it as Sweet December. I did not read it.  Do you have copy of it?." I asked him. He abruptly stopped in his track and looked at me with worried expression.

"Yes." He said going inside to get me the book. I flipped it through glancing at every page casually. Their work, papers, research,  moments with me all were mentioned in detail as if they anticipated something like this will happen. At the end, there's a page with heading as Sweet December

As season changes, our daughter too changed a lot. She blossomed into a beautiful flower this year now as it ends, we find her glowing with positivity and happiness. The zeal to be a good researcher, a better human is shown in her work. Me and my husband have decided to get her married this December,  if everything goes well in our lives. A moment we will cherish. What do we do all this for? It's for our daughter who grown up to be such an amazing women. My love has decided to talk with Isha who was frequent visitor to our research work. She mentioned about her elder brother, I wonder why I feel this will click well?

Well, all I hope is a peaceful live with cute grandchildren like my daughter. I hope once our patents are approved, our project starts this June, we will think about proceeding with her marriage proposals. After all, don't people love winters? It's beautiful, calm, serene atmosphere do really gives our lives sweet memories to cherish and love!

My parents expired that month end in an accident. I knew Isha was close with them , my parents boasted about a person who helped them with all the procedures. What I never knew is them planning my wedding with Varad.

What a coincidence!

Or

Should I say

Their blessing?

I met varad that year December and fell in love with him. It's like universe wants me to be with him but circumstances didn't pledge to help me. Varad smiled at my crying face holding Idhant in place who was being fussy about wearing his shorts. We both silently cried knowing full well that when we want something whole heartedly, with pure intentions universe will make it happen no matter how many problems try to stop us from achieving it.
