" MAA "

she stopped .

" MAA ...MAAAA "

Aarav shouted at the top of his lungs making the whole room echo with the word that is creation itself. Everyone rooted in their places as if they were witnessing a magical phenomenon happening in front of their eyes . A tear drop escaped Anirudh's eyes as he gulped back his overflowing emotions in him . The time seemed to be paused in a loop . The voices of everyone's painful cries were finally came to halt .

Her foot hovered over the door step , her heart stopped , her breathing stopped , she stilled like a statue of stone . Her mind was replaying the only word she longed to hear . The baby she saved in the forest ...she wasn't hers but Bondita always believed to be her mother . Her heart wretched into pieces when she willingly give her back to her mother , the fact the baby knew to how to call for her mother and she never called Bondita mother ...it pained her . Deeply and devastatingly it pained her . So much that she couldn't breathe .

And even now ...she couldn't breathe.

She was being called maa . It was such a powerful word itself carrying entire universe in it . Aarav wasn't biologically related to her , she didn't even know about Aarav's existence till weeks ago . But the moment she saw the boy , crumpled , unconscious in the cupboard . She knew she has lost her heart to him . Listening to the word maa from his mouth, realizing he had known his real mother entire life, realizing that even after knowing his mother he was addressing her as his maa.

He healed something he never broke.

" Maa.... please" his little innocent voice cracked. " Mat chod ke jaiye mujhe...maa ."

A sob escaped her lips , which she tried to cover up by cupping her mouth . She broke down to tears , heavily sobbing into her hands but not turning to him . Because she knew if she turned she would break down like a sand castle washed off by the wave of sadness .

" maa " this time it came out as a desperate whisper .

The last string of his patience broke .

Anirudh pushed Batuk out of his way as he was blocking , aggressively taking steps towards her , taking to stairs at once . His orbs darkened like black pit . They were bloodshot as if he was crying blood tears . The fury he was feeling was making it hard for him to breathe , his heart burned with rage wondering how easily she had taken step to get out of their lives after being the soul of their home . He didn't care that his family was watching his dark side , what he care about was the woman crumbled on the door step crying her heart out .

She wanted answers right ? then that's what he will do .

Give her answers .

He neared her driven by undeniable rage . Feeling the intensity of his anger , she simply tilted her head conforming his presence . And for a second , she felt fear running down her spine . The blackness of his eyes , the bloodshot gaze , clenched jaw and pure destruction in his veins reminded her of the day he married her .

He didn't uttered a single word . he just leant down , closed his fingers around her wrist quite tightly but not enough to hurt her . It was enough sign for her to get up . And when she did get up he didn't waste a moment to picking her over and host her on one of his shoulders . Bondita gasped out loudly by his sudden act and thrashed her hands and legs to free herself .

" chodiye mujhe ...p-patibabu chodiye " She shouted but everyone was too stunned to react .

He started taking steps towards the stairs , carrying her like she weighted nothing .
