Abhishek said, "good morning!!" entering into the dining hall and handed Afsa to his mom
"Bhai Afsa aab Kaisi hai?", Nischay asked.
"Fever to utar gaya, but she looks pale after a restless night", Abhishek replied with a sigh.
"Oh, my baby Afsa chachu apky kheyal rakhenge, bolo Kya chahiye Meri princess ko", Nischay said in a cheerful voice and pulled Afsa's cheek to which she giggled weakly.
"Afsa ko baas ma chahiye, ishky khalipaan kaise Pura karoge", their mom said suddenly, causing a pin drop silence.
Abhishek angrily stood up from his place to leave muttering "not again".
"Abbu Tu har wakt ish topic ko taal nahi sakta, usy ak ma ki jarurat hai or tujhe ak life partner ki beta. It's high time to realize your situation now", mom said.
"Seriously mom, in just 4 month aap chahty hoo ki Mai Sara ko bhul Jau or move on karlu jese Kuch hua hi nahi ho and even how can you say that knowing how she loved and cared for all of you", he replied with a dejected voice.
Mein use bhoolne ko kiu kahoon ga beta. I don't want you to forget Sara ever beta. She was and forever will be the most beautiful part of us but think about yourself, your daughter, how will you both live like this", mom said while wiping the tears rolling down her face.
"I can hire a full-time caretaker for my daughter", he replied.
"Bacchi ko ma chahiye, naki caretaker", this time dad replied. "Abhishek beta your mom is right if not for yourself please think about your daughter."
"Never, I'm sorry but that's not possible and it's final. I don't want to discuss this topic again please", Abhishek replied. He took Afsa from his mother and went away.
"Oo Meri pyari mummy, roiye maat Mai aapko aise nahi dekh sakti", prerna said playfully while trying to normalize the situation. She kissed her mother on her cheek before leaving for college.
Dad and Nischay left from there together whereas Dimple was still in deep thoughts. Thinking about the life of her dearest son and granddaughter.
Abhishek parked his car outside a lake view park as he had taken off today from shoot due to Afsa's sickness. He carried Afsa in his hands and started walking towards a bench at a shoreline. He sat down in front of the calm water, under the sun. It was the end of Feb so the warmness of the sun felt great. Afsa kept her head on the shoulder of her father.
This place always feels like home to him. He and Sara used to come here together since their college days. The beautiful past has now turned into a painful present for him. The reality of being Sara's dissociations was suffocating him every second.
The light snores of Afsa brought him out of his reverie. He reminded himself that he has to be strong for his baby, the momento of their love. With tear-filled eyes, he looked towards his baby and placed a kiss on her forehead. He was tired and sleepy as he couldn't sleep last night.
After some time he carefully stood up and went back home.
