Transmigrated as mother of four ( Continue)

chapter 71

Karishma ( POV )

We sat talking about the next book that's almost in the process of being published. The door swinged open and came in my MIL. Zen stood up. His expression changed when he saw her walk in. All he could say was " Mom ".

" Mrs Sharma what bought you here today ? " asked zen after getting over his schok. Mom walked in and told him with a smile " I am joining
today. " she handed him her appointment letter.

Zen read it for sometime than said " Uumm...well welcome in our company. Mrs Karishma will show you around and explain you about the company. " he said coldly just like an employer.

" Mrs Karishma please do the honours. Have a great day both of you. " he said and with that he has showed us the door to go back to work. I nodded and led mom out.

We have to work here very hard. It's not going to be easy to reunite mother and son back together. I showed my mother in law my whole office and found a desk near zens office for her to occupy.

She looks happy with her new work. After the working hours when we left the office my mother in law walked out with me. We decided to go home together.

As soon we walked out into the parking lot I saw a figure standing in the dark. And I have no doubt that it was Mr Sharma. We took few more steps and he walked out of the dark. Looking all casual but ready for going out.

" How was your first day at work Mrs Sharma? " he asked to my mother in law. " You will be the last person to know that. " my MIL replied. Must say she is sassy.

" Good , I am still on the list than. " replied Mr Sharma. I see from where Aditya got his flirtious behaviour, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

" There is a new restaurant down the street. Would you ladies mind to join me for a lovely dinner . " he asked. He wants to take her to a dinner date. That's really cute of him .

" I have dinner date with my husband so excuse me. But you guys have fun. " I told them. And before my MIL could say no I hurriedly got inside our car and left.

Before leaving I stopped for a second infront of them while my MIL was still processing that what was going on. " Do give her a ride home she doesn't have a car . " I told and winked at them before leaving them.

I know it's hard for her to give him another chance after what happened. I am not forcing her , just giving a chance to talk with him. And even after talking she doesn't want him than I will not force her .

As soon as I arrived home another chaos was waiting for me. My daughter's are fighting and I mean a literal shouting contest. Aditi and khushi are having a serious argument. Was I made for chaos ? Looks like I was.

" Girls... what's going on? Why are you fighting with each other? " I asked them little sharply as I walked in the hall. The hall is a mess. A half torn teddy is lying on the hall. And that's the reason of the shouting I guess.

" Now both of you calm down. Take two deep breaths and tell me what happened. One at a time. " I told them. I need to know what's going on here.

" She tore my teddy. It was my mother's gift. And she just tore it. " Said khushi with almost teary eyes. I saw the teddy but didn't think it was hers. My mistake I guess.

" I didn't want to tear it. I just wanted to look at it. She didn't want to show me and tried to pull it from my hand and teared it. " Said with a voice which says she was wronged .

" Why would she take my things without asking? " Said Khushi. " Just because her mother choose to keep her doesn't mean she owns the whole world. " She said spitting hate with each of her words.

" I see the problem. Aditi why did you pick it without asking your sister ? " I asked Aditi sweetly. " It was lying in the sofa . I thought it was lost and wanted to take it and keep it with my other dolls.  " She said in with tear filled eyes.

" Did you asked anyone if it was theirs before taking it ? " I asked her. " No " she said in a small voice. " You love your panda doll blueberry right. " I asked her and she nodded.

" If it was lying on the sofa and gungun took it without asking wouldn't you feel bad ? " I asked her and she nodded. " I am sorry elder sister I shouldn't have taken your toy. But I really didn't want to tear it. It was an accident. " she said.

" Khushi, I am not saying you have to but she is young . If she does anything wrong you can teach her the right thing. Your elder than her right? " I asked her and she didn't said anything else. And stromed into her room.

" Sister doesn't like me. " Said Aditi , her eyes were on the torn teddy. I took the pieces from the floor and said " That's not true baby. She is just a little upset. let's go and get him fixed. " Aditi jumped with excitement.

" Baby you know mummy loves you right ? " I asked Aditi and she nodded.
" And I didn't take sides just now. Khushi di is upset. It will take time for her to be like your sister. " I tried to explain to her but words failed me.

" Like I took time to call you mummy. But you were never angry about it. So I will also not be angry with khushi di." She said and I am so proud of her. I gave her a kiss on her forehead and started working again.

I bought the toy in my room. Aditi sat beside me. I know little sewing and with that I sat down to sew the teddy. It was very old , the cloth got soft and cottons all dirty. I had to do a lot of work.

After sometimes Aditi went in her room. Since I want done with the teddy. I had dinner with my family. Mom is late which is good. I came back and started sewing again. It almost took a night but I did it.

When morning came. I woke Aditi up together we sat the teddy in a sofa , tied a balloon in its hand saying ' still healing, need hug for fast recovery ' .
Few Candies and a little frock which Aditi brought for the teddy.

I hid behind a pillar and Aditi stood with a sorry sign in her hand. Khushi walked out of her room and the first thing she saw was her teddy. She smiled happily.

" It's okay kiddo. Even I am sorry for my rude behaviour. Sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you. It was an accident. From now we can share strawberry ( name of the teddy) and play together. " She said to Aditi.

" It's okay didi don't be sorry. Let's go and play doll in my room. I have Blueberry.  Strawberry and blueberry can be best friends. " Said Aditi holding khushi's hand.

" Or they can be sisters. " Said Khushi. " Let's go" said Aditi with excitement and hand in hand they went with khushi's teddy in Aditi's arms. Strawberry and blueberry are going to be best sisters I just know it.

In a dark room:

" Are you in the house ? " asked a male voice in a harsh tone.

" Yes I am" said Khushi in a whisper.

" Good, good. Have they doubted
you? " Came another question.

" No not yet " she replied.

" Good . Now do as I say. And soon our mission will be complete. " Said that unknown vioce.

" I am on it. " Said Khushi in a frim voice.

" Can a little girl like you do it? I have my doubts. " Said that unknown voice.

" I am not a little girl and I can do it. I will take revenge. I will do it. " She said and the unknown man hang up the phone.

He walked towards a board which was filled with pictures of Sharma family. He plucked  Aditya's picture from the board and burned it.

" See you soon old friend. " Said the unknown man and laughed in the dark room breaking the silence of the night.
