Heart On The Edge

Chapter 42

ADARSH'S POV

Kunal is our child. Mine and Kashvi's. Kunal is expectedly mature. Me and Kashvi spent a evening with him, before adopting him, He was sweet little child and now that I see him, He is kind, polite, sweet, mature, funny too. He is 9 years old now.

"Adarsh! Get up from your bed and walk our kids to their school bus"

Kashvi yelled from the kitchen

"Ooopppppssssssss! Bus toh chali gayi"

Kunali said in a cheeky voice.
Kunali is our daughter. She is 6 years old now and real tattletale...but that aside she is prone to violence sometimes, but loving. Cutie pie. She is real stickler for her mother. She will not leave Kashvi's side even for a minute.
Kunal doesn't leave Kunali's side.
I drove the kids to school.
And then
Two hours later drove them back home with a mad as hell Kashvi because Kunal had gotten into a fight at school.

"Why did you--"

Kashvi yelled but I cut her.

"Don't yell at him"

"Really? You wanna lecture me on yelling? This is all your fault! My child today hit a boy because of you!"

Kashvi yelled

"My fault? My fault Kashvi? How?"

I yelled back.

"Where did this all of this come in my child? My Kunal has never hit anyone. You are the only who has a tendency to violence."

"No I have a tendency to hold guns! And even Kunali hits"

"Guns and fists are all the same!"

"Lets not loose perspective. Just ask Kunal"

I turned to Kunal who was cuddling Kunali

"Kyun maara uss ladke ho Kunal?"

I bent to his level.

"Woh Kunali pareshaan kar raha tha"

"Bhaiya was protecting me Mumma"

I looked at Kashvi.

"Kunali...you know when you say Mumma like that I melt"

Kashvi hugged Kunali

"Kunali...don't hit anyone again, alright"

"Hmm hmm"

Kunal nodded, which meant he was lying but we both ignored it for that moment.

Me and Kashvi sat in our bedroom

"We have been married 9 years  Kashvi. You still think I am prone to violence"

"Well you did kill that man Gopinath asked you to last week"

"Criminal you mean"

I corrected her

"Why do you fight with me Kashvi? Why do you always pick a fight? What is your problem?"

"I am sorry Darsh. I am really really sorry. I really didn't mean to. All the work load, it just gets to me sometime."

"Even I have work Kashvi. I don't lash out at you like...Ever!"

"You are a coach of shooters...that's very different from my job"

"Are you belittling me Kashvi? Your different job doesn't make enough money to put food on table for 4 of us...I earn equally Kashvi."

"You ear equally because you have two jobs! Other one you don't tell people about."

She referred to me secretly working for the police
