Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 34

Aadhya Pov:

"Weeeee.....", a little sound broke us from the trance called work. Ever since we started working with Advay, it was hectic. I never worked this hard, ever and this coming from me imagine the intensity of the situation. Cherry was thoroughly exhausted most of the nights. The toughest part was completing everything much before the deadline because I knew Advay would pull a stunt like he did two days back.

"Wohoooo, Supamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan", a kid, probably around three years old, started jumping and running wearing a dupatta as a cape. He is cute, too cute, I felt like pinching his cheeks but restrained myself from doing not to scare away the kid. He started jumping up and down on the couch while Cherry and I watched him with amusement and awe. He looked so familiar, but I don't think I met him before.

While playing with his cap he turned towards us and abruptly stopped his act. He shyly looked at us and we smiled in return to assure him that we won't harm him.

"Hey superman", I said walking towards him with a smile and knelt, so he can look at me properly not straining his neck.

"You are so cute", Cherry said pinching his cheeks lightly not to hurt him.

"What is your name?"

"Aryan", he mumbled.

"Aryan, what are you doing here alone?", I asked.

"To meet my popsy", he shyly answered in his low cute voice.

"You mean your papa?", Cherry frowned. He nodded.

"Aryan", someone shouted and opened the door and came inside. I turned to look at the new person in the room.

Shock, surprise were the only expressions on my face but mostly shock. Aryan immediately ran towards her and stood behind her.

"OH MY GOD, Aadhya", she squealed and ran towards me and hugged me.

"Oh god, I'm so happy to meet you. It's been sooo long since we met, I know that I'm not your best friend, but I've considered you as a good friend. I'm just so happy to see you. You've become prettier and more beautiful than the last time I saw you. I really can't believe that you are here", rambled all in one breath and then looked at Cherry.

"Hey, I am Shailaja but you can call me Shailu. I know you are Cherry because of the skating competition, nice to meet you", Shailaja introduced and hugged Cherry.

Cherry laughed and replied, "Nice to meet you, too".

Shailaja then looked at the boy and took his hand and brought him to me.

"Guys this my son, Aryan. Aryan, these are my friends, Aadhya and Cherry. Say hello to Aadhya aunty and Cherry aunty", she urged him to come meet me.

"Hello", he said looking at us.

"Not to sound rude or something but what are you doing here?", Cherry asked.

"Oh, Aryan and I just came to see Advay and this naughty boy here started to become superman and barged into your room thinking it is empty", she responded and took Aryan in her arms.

"So, the popsy Aryan was talking about is Advay?", Cherry questioned Shailaja.

"Yeah, so he told you that already?", Shailaja laughed.

After listening that it felt I was transported back into time where I was in hospital. Although, it has been more than three years the wound is still fresh and witnessing the things that hurt me firsthand hurt me more than I imagined. I pretty much blocked all talk after that I could only look at Aryan and connect features to Advay. All the anger I built up inside threatened to come out and I wanted to burst that out on him Shailaja. But it is not fair, since Shailaja doesn't even know that I existed much less my relationship with him until three years back. So, it is right to shout at her.
