"ammi, Aditya", I called out, but there was no reply, it immediately worried me, though there was nothing to worry about such a small matter but knowing his condition, his absence for even a minute got me tensed.
I called him, but the phone was ringing somewhere near me and when I went inside the room I found it lying on my bed.
Then I tried calling Ammi and fortunately she received the call,"Ammi kahan hai aap log?"
I was breathing so heavily that my mother told me to calm down
then she said"beta hum toh orphanage aaye hue hain, aap pahunch Gayi Ghar?", listening to her reply I felt a bit released as they were together
"ji ammi"I replied
"Aditya se mili? "
Aditya?my mind got alarmed were they not together?
"woh toh der ghante pehle hi  Yahan Se chale gaye,kaha ghar jana hai toh humne unhe roka nahi",my hands were wet due to the sweat
"ammi woh nahi laute abhi tak...ammi...hello...hello",the call got disconnected
I tried calling her again but to my disappointment the call didn't connect
now I couldn't connect to anyone
and tension was increasing with each passing  minute.
After about half an hour the doorbell rang I ran to open the door expecting him but rather it was ammi standing there.
she got worried looking at my condition,she immediately made me sit on the sofa and offered me water, I didn't want to drink but she give me a motherly  look and I had to give in and drink the water.
But  at this moment nothing calmed me down
"ammi hume bohot fikr ho rahi hai, kaha gaye honge kise call kare, kaha dhunde kuch samaj hi nahi aa raha"
"beta aap fikr na kare woh aajayenge", she tried to calm me down but tension was clearly visible in her eyes
Tears hadn't stopped flowing from my eyes
I was getting restless with the worst possible thoughts clouding my mind
"ammi..." I just began to speak when I found her gaze fixed at the door
I turned my head to find him standing there
without thinking anything I ran and hugged him with huge force which made both of us stumble back, but he being a strong man held himself as well as me in position, staying like that for few minutes and realising he was not an illusion but my Aditya in flesh and bone, I broke the hug turned back and went towards my room without uttering a single word, I was so angry on him
Aditya's POV
I knew I had messed up
"aap itne laparwah kaise ho sakte hain Aditya pata hai bichari ki kya Halat ho gayi thi, kitne tension mein aa gayi thi hamari bachhi"
"sorry Ammi Par Main To preparation main hi Laga tha Kab late ho gaya pata hi nahi chala"
"Fir Bhi Aditya thoda sa Khyal Rakhna chahiye na, bichari ko pareshan kar diya, waise manana bhi aapko hi padega, Jo bahut Mushkil hone wala hai"she smiled looking at me
"achha woh Sab Chodiye sari cheeze taiyyar hai na?", she asked realising where my thoughts were going😋
"Ji ammi sab taiyyar hai, abhi main jata hoon use manane"
"hmmm...jaye...all the best beta", she smiled, knowing her daughter was at times a bit too difficult to please
---
"Zoya please bahar to aao, ek baar Mujhe explain karne ka mauka to do... please", I stood near the washroom door because she had been inside since she came in the room
I could hear her crying but once she heard my voice her sobs had quietened but she did not come out
"Hume aapse koi baat nahi karni hai Aditya is Waqt,  aap Kisi Aur kamre mein jakar so Jaye" anger clearly dripping from her voice.
I could have easily faked my health and she would have come running out but I don't want to trouble her anymore because anything related to my health worried her too much and she was so much angry because of that.
I quietly stood beside the door for some moment, I knew that if she didn't hear my voice she would come out of the washroom and so did happen.
she stepped out of the washroom, roaming her eyes all over the room
she barely took two steps when I grabbed her from behind and pulled her to my chest
my palm was spread on her linen cladded belly,
"chhodiye humein", she tried really hard to free herself but my hold grew stronger
her bare back touching my chest did something to both of us,
both of us knew a moment more we stood like this we will given in
"Aap...aap Hum...humare Sath jabardasti nahi kar sakte chhodiye...chodiye Hamein", she could barely speak and I loved the effect I had on her every time.
I turned her around pinned her to the wall and our eyes were locked revealing our raw emotions.
Our lips were inches apart brushing each others,noses were already mingling
before we could realize our bodies had already covered the distance and removed the gap.
We stood there with our bodies joined ,lips almost touching, everything was forgotten at that moment both of our eyes slowly closed...
