My Sunshine ✨️

4.Mumma ???

Last Part :

"Pri visited the temple with her family and friends. Ankit went on a bike ride with Ansh and Maan, but they ended up at the same temple because of the rain. While there, Ansh saw someone, or at least he thought he did, but what he said next stunned Ankit."

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Mumma," Ansh said softly.

Ankit and Maan looked at him in surprise and confusion.

Ankit was unsure how to respond. But Armaan approached Ansh. "Hey champ, what about mumma are you saying?" he asked gently.

"I saw mumma there," Ansh said with small voice causing both of them to look at him bewildered.

"What?!" Maan almost shouted, while Ankit continued to look at him in confusion.

"Yes, Papa, you said mumma went to God, right? I saw mumma near God. She was there," Ansh said innocently, pointing to where he was looking.

Armaan glanced at Ankit with confusion. Ankit silently conveyed that he had no idea what Ansh was talking about.

"Hey champ, how could you see mumma there? It's not possible," Armaan tried to explain gently.

"No, Papa, I really saw mumma," Ansh insisted desperately, leaning against his chest. Ankit patted him gently, and Ansh slowly drifted to sleep. After few minutes of silence

"What was he talking about?" Maan asked confusedly.

"I have no idea. In fact, he doesn't even know what his mom looks like," Ankit said, thinking deeply.

"Anyway, the rain has stopped. Let's go home. Also, tomorrow is Ansh's birthday. I have to give him a midnight surprise," Maan said excitedly to brush off the thick environment. Ankit nodded. They both started to leave, but not before Ankit glanced back in the direction where Ansh had pointed.

Ankit's Mansion

Ankit put Ansh to sleep after giving him milk and changing him into comfortable clothes. He covered Ansh with a duvet and pulled him close gently patting his back. His mind was filled with thoughts about the emotional changes he had experienced that day. He felt something new and deeply personal. Lost in his thoughts, he lost track of time.

However he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Untangling himself from Ansh, Ankit opened the door to find Maan standing there with a cake in his hand. Ankit gestured Maan to enter the room.

"Hey champ, wake up! It's your birthday," Maan said, shaking him gently. Ansh slowly opened his eyes and rubbed them with his tiny palms. He looked at Armaan and Ankit, then at the cake. His eyes lit up as he remembered it was his birthday.

"Yayy, it's my birthday!" he exclaimed, jumping on the bed.

Ankit smiled and approached him, cupping his face. "Happy Birthday, my Ansh," he said, kissing his forehead. Ansh returned the affection by kissing Ankit's cheek with a bright smile.

"Happy Birthday, champ! Now, let's cut the cake, And make a wish for your birthday gift before cutting the cake, okay?" Maan said

Ansh nodded eagerly and closed his eyes. The image of the scene he had seen in the temple flashed before him. Unknowingly, he whispered, "Mumma," with a smile on his lips, because he remembered that last birthday his wish had come true. He was excited for tomorrow, not knowing that his father was the one who had fulfilled his wish last time. But this time......

Maan looked at Ansh with a sad smile, then turned to Ankit, who was looking at him blankly. Afterward, they cut the cake, fed each other, and played with it for a while. Maan went to his room in the mansion. Ankit helped Ansh brush his teeth, as he was on the verge of falling asleep after such a tiring day. He laid him down on the bed. After some time, he opened his phone and caressed a girl's picture with a pained smile. He whispered, "I love you and miss you."

Pri jerked up from her sleep. She looked at Nidhi, who was sleeping cuddling her teddy bear. Pri drank some water and went to the balcony for some fresh air. She gazed at the moon, but the restless feeling persisted. It felt as though someone was waiting for her, craving her presence. This sensation had struck her before, in traffic and even in the temple. She couldn't understand why she felt that someone needed her, and why she herself needed someone.

In the morning, Ansh went to the mall with Maan, while Ankit headed to an important meeting. He said he would join them as soon as his meeting finished. Ansh was exploring the mall with Maan and eagerly picking out things that caught his eye when suddenly his stomach growled. Ansh smiled sheepishly, making Maan laugh out loud.

"Oh, my champ is hungry. Let's grab some tasty food," Maan said, poking Ansh's tummy playfully. Then Maan handled all the things Ansh had picked to the bodyguards to put in the car.

Ansh followed Maan, holding his hand, and they found an empty table for Ansh to sit at.

"You sit here. I'll go and bring food for us. Don't wander around," Maan instructed. Ansh nodded again and sat down quietly.

Then he heard laughter sound coming from a nearby table. He looked over and saw a group of boys and girls laughing together. His eyes widened and a huge smile spread across his face as he spotted a particular person among them. She was standing and joking with her friends, waving her hands animatedly. Ansh couldn't contain his excitement. He got up and walked towards her with slow steps, standing in front of her with a huge smile on his face.

The laughter around the table abruptly stopped as everyone noticed the small boy staring at the woman with an adoring smile. Priyanka, the woman he was fixated on, looked down at him, meeting his longing gaze. She smiled warmly and crouched down to his level.

Before anyone could react, Ansh threw his arms around her waist, hugging her tightly and exclaiming, "Mumma!"

Pri stood there in shock, her eyes widening, while everyone around them stared with mouths wide open, stunned by the unexpected scene.
