Three Souls

Chapter 5

A new beginning, new environment, new vibes and it all felt good. It felt like everything's starting from a zero again. Everything just changed in a blink of an eye.

Anika entered into her new residence, new home with anirudh and aravind. Anika felt so good and was happy that she was coming out from aradhaya's missing-ness a little.

Definitely, arav her baby, was the main reason for it. The happiness which could be seen when he was with her is indescribable.

Aravind made anika realize how much she had missed being with him. Anirudh's friends who had come up to their new house was having a talking with Anirudh.

While anika was feeding a bowl full of rice to aravind, looking out at the shore. Anika and aravind was having their own time, talking, giggling, playing after ages. Anika felt so relieved and loved being with aravind. Each and every of his doings brought her alive to sense.

The interior design of the house looked classy with furnished living hall and it was a huge living hall. It was decorated with photo frames of anirudh's and anika's parents, which was taken during their wedding.

And the other side of the living hall was a way to the backyard, it looked stunning beautiful with all flowers. More than everything, anika loved her room where she will be spending her time with anirudh and aravind.

Not to make anika stress out everyday, anirudh had appointed a maid to be with anika all the time and to do the needful.

"Arav, I'm going to the garden to play football with sid and sreyas! Are you coming little kid ?" Iyappan said, coming up from behind.

"Nanaa! I'm not coming." Aravind said, reculantly.

"Why not ? Don't you want to play ball with us ?" Iyappan said, tugging his hand on his hair.

"Nanaa! I don't." Aravind replied.

"Baby, why not? Iyappan mama is calling you sweetly to play with him right. Go play baby." Anika said, with a smile.

"Nanaa. I go then you'll leave me." Aravind said, sadly.

Anika cupped aravind's face and looked at him, deeply. She understood what he actually meant. Aravind smiled boardly, pinching his mom's cheeks.

Just then, Iyappan came forward leaving a way for anirudh to come in. Anirudh looked so calm  and took his seat beside anika.

"Anika, please don't make arav call me as mama. It sounds weird to me." Iyappan pouted.

"Then what you want him to call you as?" Anika asked.

"Let him call me , whatever he feels like to. But I know he can't say the word 'mama' yet." Iyappan shrieked.

"Okay! So, arav baby are you sure, you don't want to join iyappan ?" Anika said, lifting up aravind's chin.

Aravind nodded his head to sides, meaning no.

"Why aren't you going baby ? Look sid and everyone is waiting for you." Anirudh said, with a smile.

"Nanaa ! I don't want to leave maama. Mamaa poidum." Aravind said, fixing his gaze down at the table.

Anirudh and Anika starred at each other for a second. It was so clear and obvious what aravind actually mean and what he's afraid of.

In aravind's point of view, if he leaves to play with anirudh's friends he thinks that anika will go away from him. He doesn't wants to stay away from his mum, like how he was before.

"Baby ! Look here, I won't leave you and go. I'll be here only and with you only." Anika said, sweetly.

"Naanaa ! I want only mamaa." Aravind said, hugged anika tight, holding her shirt top.
