Chapter 7: Some bittersweet moments

Author POV

"Hero, count properly" Kiara screamed running around the house trying to hide.

Kiara and Karan were playing hide and seek, After the breakfast, Teju had left for the office not before glaring at Karan and giving him instructions.

Karan was hurt with her behavior but he knew he had no say in it, Everytime he called her mam his heart clenched, he felt a shortness of breath realizing that how distant they had become. He still remember he used to tease her by calling her mam that time she was getting annoyed and now he is getting hurt by calling her the same name.

"I am coming"  Karan screamed searching for her

Kiara was hiding in the cupboard and karan was searching for her.

"Who is here?" Karan asked softly and Kiara giggled softly from the cupboard.

Karan softly walked towards the cupboard and opened it to find his princess curled up and looking at with those puppy eyes.

"Hero you found me" She said getting sad  and Karan picked her up in his arms and tickled her making her laugh.

For Karan that was the most sweetest voice he had heard. He smiled from his heart seeing his princess enjoy with him and his dream was getting fulfilled the only thing missing was his bonding with his wife.

"Now come on princess, your mom is going to call" Karan said picking her up and walking towards her room. He made her sit on the bed and connected the call to Tejasswi. On her receiving the call, she looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Ma'am you wanted to talk to Kiara" Karan said with a broken heart

"Then give her the phone"  Teju said making Karan feel bad. He thought she was not even interested to see his face. He quickly gave Kiara the phone

"Call me once you finish, I am out" Karan said giving the phone and walking out of the room. He stood near the room door trying to listen to the conversation

"Hi mera bacha, what are you doing?"  Teju asked in a sweet tone

"Mumma I played a lot today with hero, I ate tasty food and I am having so much fun" Kiara said making Karan smile

"That is nice to hear baccha, how are you feeling now, is he taking care of you properly" tejasswi asked

"Ya mumma, hero is taking care of me properly," Kiara said defending her hero.

A/N: Papa's princess guys, understand.

Kiara and Teju talked for some more time.  Both of them Karan and Kiara  had fun the whole day playing, eating and enjoying with each other. Karan had taken care of making her feel comfortable, He had even given her medicine time to time. It was late at night and Karan was tucking Kiara to bed. Teju was coming late today so he was making her sleep.

"Princes now come on sleep" He sat covering with a blanket and caressing her hair.

Karan slowly put her to sleep by reading her a story, Within no time he heard soft snores and he looked at her sleeping.He slowly moved, settled pillows around her and kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. He went to the hall to see Tejasswi coming inside with a tired face.

She looked at him and raised her eyebrows asking him about the update.

"Welcome back ma'am, I have prepared the dinner and it is already set on the dining table, I have put kiara to sleep" Karan said in one go

"Anything else?" Tejasswi asked drinking water

"No ma'am" He replied

"Then you can leave" Tejasswi said and Karan nodded his head walking back to his room. He quickly washed his face, changed his clothes and sat down to write a dairy,

From the past 3 years he had started to write a diary as he would face, panic attacks so he would pin down his emotions in a book as he could not speak to anyone.

Dear Diary.

I hope you remember me, the last time I wrote to you my life was in darkness but now when I am writing to you my life of darkness has a crack which only a ray of sunshine is there. That ray of sunshine is my daughter, my princess Kiara.

You know the last time I saw her she was a small kid now she is grown a bit, but she still has those blue eyes which makes me weak. Her one smile and I could do anything for her. I didn't know she was my daughter when I meet her in the park but when I got to know she was my daughter and she was in danger my world had already collapsed

But my princess is a warrior, she came back stronger, Today she called me her hero and I am in cloud nine, I have no words to express how I felt when she smiled at me, obviously it was not how I felt when she called me papa for the first time yet it was special. I laughed a lot, played a lot, enjoyed a lot today with my princess. This was my best memory after days

Now on the other hand talking about my wife, she hates me. I saw that look of hate in her eyes which made me hate myself. I don't know what was my mistake in all of this.

Was it so wrong to be born into such a family that my wife just left me, ??

You know she told me that I should call her mam and you know every time I call her my heart clenches at the feeling of being distant from her. I hope she accepts me back not as a husband but as a friend because every time I see that hate, my heart loses a beat and slowly probably my heart will stop

I know it is hard but can't she try to forget sometimes and give me a change?

Am I asking for more?

I am not blaming her but the 4 years of pain, sorrow and darkness is consuming me in a way I can't explain. I hope she forgives me before I close my eyes and my soul leaves my body.

Karan closed the book and kept it in a safe place as the book had all his deepest, darkest secrets which should be avoided.

He thanked god for such a wonderful day and lay on the bed trying to sleep.

On the other hand, Tejasswi relaiised she was rude to him, she was tired from morning and the frustration just came on him. She quickly changed sat on the table and opened the lid to find yummy food

The dinner consisted of dal, rice, papad and pickle. Tejasswi served herself and moaned at the taste of it. She had missed his hand food. Even this simple meal had so much comfort in it that it couldn't be explained.

She ate the dinner stuck a note on the fridge and moved towards her room. She thought to apologize to him, so she went to his room to see him sleeping peacefully. She smiled at him and walked towards Kiara's room.

She quickly planted a kiss on her forehead and walked to her room. She stood in the balcony and looked at the stars

Sometimes it is not enough to be perfect for each other, even your destiny should back your love
