A Love So True

Chapter 3

8 am , Shubman's residence.

Ishan was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Shubman's house.

Opposite to him , Mr and Mrs Gill . Shubman was sitting on a single sofa far from them.

Mrs Gill broke the silence. 

He told Ishan in a gentle voice,

" Ishan , Drink the tea son. It is getting cold."

Ishan was nervous , he nodded slightly and took the cup.

He felt intense gazes of three people on him.
He didn't even get that much tensed during the interview.

Mr Gill took a sip of tea .

" So , Ishan ." 

He called.

Ishan looked up .

" Yes sir ."

Mr Gill swayed his hand .

" Oh , don't need to call me sir . Call me uncle."

Ishan tried to smile.

" Yes uncle."

Mr Gill put the cup on the coffee table.

" Ivan is our life . If he gets the slightest pain , it's like a stabbing in our heart. Shub told me that you already knew about Ivan being his child .

I hope you will keep it secret. You seem like a kind boy , you know how much people will disturb and talk badly about him if it gets public."

Shubman clenched his fists. He couldn't tolerate if someone hurt his son.

Ishan's heart trembled  as the thought of Ivan is getting bullied by people flashed in his mind.

He would never allow anyone to hurt Ivan.

They may not have a blood relation but Ishan felt an attachment with Ivan.

Ishan took a deep breath and said,

" Uncle, I promise I will never disclose this and I will never let anyone hurt him."

Something in Ishan's eyes , let Mr.Gill believe that Ishan has true emotions for his grandchild.

Mr Gill never failed to determine people's intentions.

" Look who is here ."

Everyone's attention turned towards the stairs.

Shahneel was coming down , carrying little Ivan in her arms.

Ivan was in his bed hair , wearing a pink pajama with Pooh bear on it . His mochi cheeks bulged as he pouted.

Ishan's heart felt warmth .

Ivan's attention caught Ishan.He gave a full toothy smile and threw his little hands towards Ishan .

" Mumma is here. Put me down Bua."

Shahneel was surprised . Whom Ivan is calling Mumma ? 

Shahneel put him down . Ivan came running to Ishan like a duckling. Ishan carried him up .

Ivan was very happy , he giggled and hugged Ishan's neck.

Mrs Gill's eyes got teary . How his beloved grandchild is craving for Mother's love.

But seeing how Ishan was treating him , a happiness spread in her heart.

Mrs Gill wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes and said ,

" Ivan baccah , you forget your dadi .You don't even look at me ."

Ivan who was busy with his newly founded mother , turned to look at his Dadi .
