Love Or Revenge

Moving to

" But Maya, this time the history won't repeat. And am sure. "

" Vikram you're literally forcing me every time to come with you. Why don't you understand? It's not possible. We are not husband and wife anymore. What will people think of me? "

" All you care about this so called people? What about Aadhik and me? You're separating a father from his son. Doesn't Aadhik too need a father? Do you think you can fulfill all his wishes? For your ego don't make Aadhik suffer. Even he deserves to live his life like his classmates do. You know what Ishaan told me? Aadhik is every day taunted  by his classmates for being poor. Why aren't you thinking about him? "

Maya never thought that aadhik would have to face all those things. She thinks of his words, his argument had a weight.

" I understand Vikram what you're saying. May be I'm not able to provide him with materialistic pleasures. But I'm sure I can make him strong to fight against these odds. "

" Why do you want to make my son fight? Why? As parents everyone tries to give their children happiness in every possible way they can. But you're not even trying to Maya. "

" I know. 5 years I had been sitting idle doing nothing for my son alone. Okay.  "

" Maya I didn't mean that ok. I meant why can't you make his life better when you have an option to? "

" Maybe because its you. That option isn't possible for me. Please don't force me. You might handle Tanya and people. I can't anymore. Already heard a lot of taunts and jibes from people when I carried a baby without a husband. I was humiliated everyday Vikram. I did only for Aadhik. Now I can let Aadhik go through same taunts. "

She cried.

Vikram felt guilty to leave her at that tym.

" But... "

" Vikram please. "

Vikram couldn't force her, his own guilt engulf him. He left that day. But he kept requesting her in office hours and over phone. One day, he again visited her house. But this time he was in tears.

" Vikram... What's this? "

" Please come with me. I can't live without my son. Give me my son please. "

" Vikram what are you saying? Please stop crying. "

" No tell me you and Aadhik will come with me? "

" Gosh... I can't see this man in tears. I love him. But I can't go even " she thought.

" Maya today if you don't agree I'll end my life "

" Huh? "

" Yes... and I'm serious. Where's kerosene? I'll end my life here only. "

" Vikram... Are you blackmailing me?  "

" Am damn serious. It must be in the kitchen. You wait.  I'll end my life in front of you. "

He entered the kitchen and started searching. On not finding anything he grabbed the knife and placed on his wrist.

May came running towards him and tried to stop him.

" Please Vikram " she was in tears now.

" Are you coming or not?   "

" Please Vikram... "

" Maya.. "

" I'll... I'll... Please drop the knife."

He dropped it. She slapped him. He was shocked. She slapped him number of times on his face shoulders and chest. He caught her hand and pulled towards him. She held his head and pulled towards her placing on her shoulder. She was crying profusely. He too responded by placing his hand on her back.

At night,

" Mumma wly ale you placking clothes? "

" From tomorrow onwards we are going to stay at Divya ma's place. "

" Really mumma? "

" Yess. Y baby don't you like it. "

" Jolly. I am gloing to stay with ishaan bhaiya, Divya ma, Ajay uncle and Vikram papa. "

" What , Vikram papa? Who told you to call him like that. "

" Nlo one mumma. I love vikram papa so much. "

" Without knowing the truth you bond well with him. I can't snatch away your happiness baby. You too wants your father love. " Maya thought.

Next day she packed everything. Vikram himself came to pick them up. On entering Vikram showed her his room. Aadhik was sleeping in Vikram's arms. He laid him on his bed.

" Vikram I can't stay in your room. Please shift us to another room. "

" But why? "

" Vikram can't you understand. I can't stay in your room without any relationship. "

" Please "

" Now please don't argue on this atleast. "

" Okay. I won't force you. "

They both lived in a adjacent rooms.

Vikram started spending a lot of time with Aadhik. He would rarely go to office. As a PA all the work load came on her shoulders. She had to work over time.

One day Divya and Ajay planned a picnic with all of them. Maya couldn't go as she had to meet an important client which was to be done by Vikram but due to his absence she had to take care.

Aadhik was sad as Ishaan was with both his parents. He too likes to be with his mumma and papa as ishaan do. But his mother wasn't there. Vikram noticed he's sad.

" Baby. What happened? You look sad. "

" I'm missing Mumma. "

Vikram sighed.

" Baby do you miss your Nanna? "

" No "

" No? Why don't you miss your nanna? "

" Because you ale with me na, blut mumma is at office. "

Aadhik said in a sad tone.

" I have to do something, I can't let aadhik in sorrow. Moreover when I see ishaan playing with Bhai and bhabhi, I feel jealous that too for the first time. I too want to enjoy like them, so I need Maya by my side. I have to think of another idea. "

Vikram thought.
