Arya's Arranged Parents

1 - I am ready.

Ayaansh's POV:

I am sitting in my cabin, in my office, when I hear my phone ring, and seeing the caller ID, I instantly pick it up, as I know why she might have called.

"Haa maa, boliye, Arya thik hai na?"

("Yes, mum, tell me! Is Arya okay?")

"Nhi hai thik teri beti, come fast and sambhaal usse" - my mother (Mahika) snaps at me and without explaining more, or letting me ask her a question she cuts the call on me.

("No, your daughter is not fine, come fast, and take care of her")

My Arya, My baby, my 3 month old daughter.

Kya hua hoga, thik toh hogi na, she would be missing me? Maybe she didn't eat properly? But maa always makes sure she eats. She just wants me. What else can it be... Maybe she fell? Got hurt? Ahhhhhhhhh

(what might have happened, she will be fine right?)

All sorts of thoughts cross my mind.

Panic mode on

My heart races as my mind jumps to the worst possibilities, yet I try to calm myself, focusing on reaching Arya as fast as I can.

I grab my necessary belongings, such as phone, car keys, and rush out the door, not before telling my P.A (Ishaan) to reschedule all my meetings for the day.

My meeting with my daughter is above all right now. She needs me, and I have to be with her.

I reach the Rajput paradise, the palace which has countless doors and what not. We are counted as the richest people in the entire rajasthan.

My grandfather (Shankar) brought us to the position we are right now.

All the efforts are his, while my father (Abhinav), my kaka (Naveen). my younger brother, Avyaan and I simply just make sure that everything is maintained and keeps going how he left it.

Now dadu and dadi (Devyani) have retired. Dadi had opened an NGO initially when they got married, then once my papa got married, she handed the responsibility to maa. So she would visit the NGO whenever she wants, and dadu just comes to the office to check if the work is going well. He still helps around when needed. It is really nice working knowing there's someone who will take care if something goes wrong.

At the age of 75 he is still fit and sometimes joins me for my walks, and never misses a chance to tease dadi. They were like love birds. I always wanted a love story like that,

But...

Ok ok, enough about the past, back to reality, back to Arya.

As I walk into the living room, I see everyone surrounding one couch, where maa is sitting with my baby in her hands.

Ruhi, my bhabhi, Avyaan's wife is sitting next to maa, holding the bottle of milk, maybe trying to feed her.

Though everyone is trying to console her, my baby is still crying badly.

I walk to them, where I take my baby into my hands, and she calms down, once she senses it's me.

I rock her around, calming her down. And she slowly falls asleep. I take her to the small room downstairs, I created for her.

Most of the time, in the evening, I am downstairs with my family. So it's not safe to have her alone in the room upstairs.

So I made her a small nursery down here.

I lay her in the small crib, near the wall and cover her with her small blanket.

I make sure the monitor its on, and connected to my phone. I placed monitors in places where I know Arya spends most of her time, like the room down here, her grandparents room, living room and of course my bedroom.
