A Love So True

Chapter 39

When Ivan woke up , it was 9 o'clock , almost his dinner time.  He rubbed his eyes with his little fist and looked for his parents. He saw his Mumma and Papa were sleeping beside him hugging each other tightly. They were under the same blanket while they covered Ivan with his small fluffy blanket. Ishan's face was buried on Shubman's chest , who was wrapping his hand around Ishan's body . Ivan didn't like the fact that he had to sleep in the corner while his Papa got to sleep while sticking with his Mumma. Papa is a big boy unlike Ivan who should get hug from Mumma while sleeping. Ivan's mood wasn't good after sleeping in wrong hour . He snorted , his mochi cheeks bulged in anger . He crawled towards them and tried to separate Ishan from Shubman. Ivan failed to rescue his Mumma from his Papa. Shubman was holding Ishan very tightly and there wasn't even the space between them for air to pass.
Ivan was so frustrated , he grabbed Shubman's hair and pulled with force. Shubman who felt stinging pain in his sleep , jolted up . He saw the culprit was his son. 

" Ivan , why are you beating your father suddenly ?"

Shubman's voice was little loud.

In an instant , Ivan's big eyes accumulated tears , his lips quivered. He threw his limbs and started crying loudly. Ishan woke up after hearing Ivan's loud cry . He got up abruptly. Ivan extended his hands towards Ishan and cried ,

" Mumma ....Mumma."

Ishan carried him in his arm and patted  his back .

" Shh... Don't cry Baby. Mumma is here. What's wrong , Ivan ? Tell Mumma."

Ivan hugged Ishan's neck with one hand and pointed his little index finger at his Papa. 

" Papa made me cry."

He said and amplified the intensity of his crying to seek justice from his Mumma. 

Shubman who was being accused for nothing , looked at his son in disbelief. 

" Hey, what did I do to you ? Isn't it you who pulled my hair ? "

Shubman said , then he turned his gaze at Ishan.

" Ishan , I'm telling you. You are spoiling him too much with your affection. Look , he learnt to tell lie and I can't believe. Brat , I'm your father , what's your grudge against me ?"

Shubman said in disbelief. 

Ivan hurriedly turned toward Shubman and yelled ,

" No , Ivan wasn't lying. Papa scolded me as soon as he woke up . Papa also took Mumma from Ivan while Ivan was sleeping. Ivan is a little boy , Ivan needs Mumma near him while sleeping. Only Ivan can hug Mumma. Papa isn't allowed ."

Shubman couldn't digest Ivan's words. He squinted his eyes .

" What do you mean I'm not allowed? Hey  brat , listen. I'm your Mumma's husband. Only I'm allowed to hug him . You're not a child anymore. Next year you have to attend school. Learn how to sleep in your own bedroom at night because I'll not allow you in our bedroom anymore."

Shubman said .

Ivan who heard he have to sleep alone in separate room without Mumma , got very anxious. He raised his volume more and started crying. He hugged Ishan's neck tightly.

" Huaaaaa.......Ivan don't want to sleep alone. Ivan wants Mumma. Papa is very bad . Mumma , please scold Papa , please. "

Ishan didn't know what to do. He swayed Ivan , tried to stop him from crying. 

" No , Ivan . Don't cry , Papa is just joking."

He signaled Shubman with his eyes to agree with him . Shubman snorted.
