A Love So True

Chapter 2

" Shub" 

Shahneel entered.She looked at the little figure sleeping peacefully on bed and smiled.

Shubman was standing in the balcony,his sister stood beside him.

" Mom was saying that Ivan cried and asked for his mother."

She asked.

Shubman's gaze lost in somewhere outside.

" Hmm .. I had a hard time to make him sleep."
He answered.

Shahneel put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Is it hard to be a single parent?"

Shubman sighed.

" Sometimes but di  .... It's my fault."

" Shub , it's not your fault and you are doing your best. You are the bestest dad."

Shubman turned to look at his sister.

" But I can never take his mother's place."

" Everything gonna be ok ,Shub."

" Hope so ."

Shahneel left after some time.

Shubman stared at his son's face.No matter how much love he gave him , it's not enough.

Ivan is only 3 years old .He needs mother's love.

Shubman have no plans to get married.He didn't want anyone to invade  his personal space. He didn't like it.

He didn't believe any woman could love Ivan like a real mother.
So he didn't want to ruin Ivan's life.Also he had no physical needs so being alone didn't bother him that much.

If Ivan is happy and healthy , he doesn't want anything else.

Ivan cried and sweated so much last night that he got fever.

Shubman was worried , he cancelled all of his meetings and stayed at home.

Shubman was changing damp cloth strip from his forehead.

Ivan was whimpering in daze and called 'Mumma'.

Shubman felt helpless.Ivan never saw his mother. He never behaved stubborn like this . 

What can he do ?

Where he could find his Mumma?

Shubman called Yash and asked him to bring every files that need his signature.

He was taking off for today.

Fifteen minutes later , one servant informed him that someone came from his office.

Shubman asked the servant to bring him in his room.

Shubman was shocked when he saw Ishan.

Ishan asked for permission to enter.

Shubman nodded.

" What are you doing here? I asked Yash to bring files."
Shubman asked with a frown in his face.

" Yash sir  was busy with investors meeting , he told me to send these files to you."

Shubman didn't say anything.

Ishan's attention caught the little boy .

Ishan smiled but his smile faded when he saw damp cloth on his forehead. Ivan's face was red in fever.

Ishan was about to go near him but stopped and cautiously looked at Shubman.

" Boss, what happened to Ivan?"
