SS: With you...... "Hamesha" ||COMPLETED||

Part 36

Anjali turned to look at other lady who was none other then Manorma Mami but she just scoffed and looked away with a shrug of shoulder “Hello Hi Bye Bye I should go and look if Maa ji (Grandmother/Nan ji) needs anything.” She also left from there and Anjali felt tears prick her eyes when suddenly a voice made her smile and she turned back.

“Maaaa I am here!”

Anjali turned to look at the smiling boy who sprinted towards her, hugging her happily and hugged her back. Abhi smiled as he tells her about his excellent performance and asks about others but his face fell looking at her expressions.
“So Mom didn’t wait?” Abhi asked.

Anjali looked at him, he is grown and very smart now, at the age of 6 his mind was sharp so now at the age of 13 his mind is more sharp and mature. He understands things around him very quickly for his age, Anjali sighed as she turns his face to look at her “Abhi! She was waiting for you but then suddenly there was a call about urgent meeting, So I myself insisted for her to go. When she was denying I told her our Abhi is big now, he will understand.”

Anjali tried to cover up but Abhi laughs shaking his head “Don’t speak lies to fool me because I am not one and you are right I am no more a small kid indeed to get easily fooled.”

Anjali shakes her head in denial “Abhi listen to me…..” interrupted by Abhi “I understand Maa! Don’t worry, I am going to my room and I’ll be back after getting fresh and changed.” Anjali smiled in response “Yes come back soon, I have cooked all your favorites.” Abhi nodded and ran towards his room.

Anjali looked at his retreating figure and wiped a lone tear from the corner of her eyes, it’s been 7 years to this life. So many things have been changed in this 7 years, who used to be her world is now away from her only reason she smiles and live now is Abhi. Years ago after whatever happened things started changing slowly, Sheetal started taking care of business with Akash. Initially everything was going fine but then Sheetal started staying too much busy in business work, they thought she is trying to collect the pieces and take care of family responsibility by helping Akash in pressure of handling business alone.

But with passing time Sheetal got so much immersed in business and her social life that she hardly had time for home and especially Abhi. Though Sheetal used to work before also so Abhi was habituate but the completely ignorance and absence wasn’t he was used to. The boy started feeling lonely more and the attachment he had with Anjali was getting more strong. For Anjali he was her chotte and why not after all Abhi was his blood only, Arnav accepts it or not.

So two lonely souls started becoming each others support and one day Abhi accidently called her Maa (mother), though he said sorry for the slip but Anjali was too happy to mind and told him if he feels alright he should call her Maa only. Abhi was more then happy and literally started shouting in excitement that now he have two mothers and Anjali well she got a reason to live.  With growing age Sheetal’s behavior and carelessness even started irritating Abhi and the distance between the two increased.

Anjali served him lunch and Abhi started eating it happily praising Anjali in between, both were having their lunch when Payal entered inside the house with her  4 year old daughter. Abhi smiled looking at them and called “Palak?” Anjali also turned to look behind to see Payal walking with Palak inside. “Bhaiya” Palak grinned looking at Abhi and ran towards him, Abhi already walking towards her and picked her in his arms “How is my baby? What did you do in school today?” Palak smiled as she started replying him in kiddish language.
