Finding Love - Completed

Part 22

Anu's Pov

We are now standing infront of the gate. I reached my home after 6 long months... a huge relief of reaching home engulfed me. The gate opened. Appa and amma standing at the doorstep. I walked slowly towards them.... but...

🏃🏃🏃

While I saw walking in slow motion, taking homly feelings, I saw the man beside me run towards my mom...as if its his mom😡... he hugged her tightly and then moved towards dad. I stand there without blinking eyes. They were laughing, talking and whatever. Couldnt they see their own daughter, who came after 6 loooong months, standing at the gate . I was super angry and jealousy was taking over me. And my dearest mom, took him inside without giving me a glance. Thank god, Dad saw me and called me beside. I went near him with a faint smile and gave a side hug.

Lunch time, still mom just asked me to eat lunch. She is just taking him on her head also feeding him. Who is her child, me or him, I doubt. Seriously, I am a single child, from childhood onwards I hated mom and dad pampering other kids.. and now look, without even looking at me they are caring him.

And this man... winking at me in a teasing tone. After lunch I went for a shower. When I came back the sight I saw melted my heart. I saw him sleeping peacefully in my mothers lap. I leaned to the wall. Why I dont know my eyes welled up. I am happy that he feels safe in my mom's lap.  My dad came and kept his hand over my shoulder. I smiled at him and hugged him.

That night I didnt slept. When I close my eyes, the sight Jai on my mom's lap was seen. I never showed my love to my parents. I also like to lay on my mom's lap, eating from her hands... but I never did.

Today I saw his eyes filled with motherly affection towards my mom. And I am glad that my parents love him so much.

I went out to the terrace as sleep was far away from me. I saw him looking at the stars.

A: You didnt sleep yet...

He didnt turned to look at me.

J: I had a peacefull sleep today afternoon. I am sorry, I know you are angry on me. But why I dont know I feel them like my own parents. I feel home here. I feel safe and secure in your mothers arms. I feel like my parents are back for me...

I couldnt utter a word. I know how much he miss his parents. Hiding all his pains with a smile... and making others smile... Thats not possible for everyone...

J:Look, I can see my parents looking me with smile. They are here as stars, showering blessing over me..... I am sorry Anu, I took a part of your parents love and your sleep too...

A: Our parents...

Thats only when he looked towards me. Then I realised he was crying... No I cant see my Jai crying..

I went near him, held his hand and rested my head on his shoulders, he looked back at the sky leaning over my head....
