WIFE : BOUGHT AND PAID FOR

SHOT 52

Bhumi's pov!

I leaned against him and it felt good.

It was simply a few hours ago, I told myself that I would keep Aryamann at a distance. Will never give him a chance to hurt me.

Then why am I feeling happy, being in his arms.

Why am I melting again?

Won't I ever gain self control where Aryamann is involved.

The woman in me knows that I am playing with fire.

But the mother in me is urging me to go forward. For the emotional well being of my sons. They should grow up in a family with mommy, daddy, aunts, uncles and cousins. That would give them stability. That would help them form relationships. Something I never had.

If they grow up seeing separated parents with broken hearts, they will lose their belief in love. And I don't want that.

I want them to know the joys of love, the excitement of romance and yes, the pain of heartbreak too. They should feel everything to understand life.

For that, maybe Aryamann and I should give it a fair chance.

But unlike last time, my eyes would be open. My heart would be closed. This would purely be a relationship of convenience.

Last time, I was hired for the benefit of his dadi and business. This time, I am agreeing to this for the benefit of my sons.

"For the boys," I agreed softly.

His hold tightened on me and he placed a soft kiss on my hair.

"I won't disappoint you, Bhumi. You will never regret this. I promise you," he vowed and my heart picked up its beat again.

***********

Aryamann's pov!

As soon as the sun rose, the whole family descended back to the hospital.

How Gaurav and Daksh managed to hold them back for the whole night is still a mystery to me.

Sammy was looking bewildered at the sight of so many people in his hospital room. And Abhi was taking charge and introducing everyone to Sammy.

"Sammy, This is Chidd Mamu. This is Gowlav chachu and this is Dakch papa. They are all my friends." Abhi said, clapping his hands in excitement.

"Sammy friends?" Sammy asked, looking at them expectantly.

"Of course we are Sammy's friends too." Siddharth said with a soft smile

"But they were Abhi's friends first." Abhi said smugly and Sammy's lips jutted out, indicating a cry on the way.

"Sammy, look who this is. This is dadi. She came to meet you." Bhumi said, in an excited voice, trying to distract Sammy from crying.

I gently picked up Abhi from the bed and walked out of the hospital room.

"Going where, daddy?" Abhi asked.

"We are going to have a man to man talk, little one." I said and he frowned in confusion.

I took him to the hospital cafeteria and ordered a glass of warm milk and some cookies for him and a cup of black coffee for me.

As the waitress placed the order in front of us, she cooed looking at Abhi.

"Aww. What a handsome little thing you are. What's your name darling?" The old woman asked.

"Abhay Bachu," he said, flicking his head in attitude.
