The Desert Lily

Chapter 6:Happy Father's Day!

Samaira punched the calling bell of Praniti's house numerous times and stood shivering, drenched from head to toe.
She stared at the door in front of her which was opened from inside quickly.
"What is this Sam? "Ayush asked as he came out with Praniti.
Without uttering a word, she walked inside and sat on sofa in the living room, wetting the delicate cusion.

"What happened? Why are you all drenched? "Praniti asked, concern etched clearly on her face.

"He... He... didn't even care to ask if the newborn was a boy or a girl. He... He directly asked for divorce.... Looking straight at my face...."Samaira stuttered, determined to shed no tears.

Praniti slowly hugged her head and she reciprocated by wrapping her arms around her waist.

Samaira slowly got out of the hug as her baby's cry broke the growing silence.
She hurriedly wiped herself dry and changed her clothes.

She fed milk to the crying little kid and made him sleep.

Walking out of the room, she reached the terrace.
The baby plants in the small pots had drops water on their leaves.
The heavy rain left the whole atmosphere cool and damp.
She slowly inhaled deeply and crossed her arms across her chest.

She was happy about the fact that she managed not to cry infront of her friends and mother.

But she knew, she needed a break down. Not because she was too vulnerable to cry for a man who broke her trust.
But because her emotions had been treated like a toy and her heart had been plucked and thrown away.

She had began hating her husband the moment he asked her to forget him and marry someone else. He had hurt her big time and she like a fool begged infront of him. For the first time in her life, she was ashamed of herself and her decision. She had never been so wrong.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and tilted her head to face her mother.
Her mother glared at her as she noticed drops of tears on her cheeks.

"Samaira, Till this day I have supported you in everything. This time I'm telling you, you should never even think about him. Live for yourself and your kids. There are a lot of single mothers and kids living happily in this world.
Even I am an example. Your father left me when you were two and your sister five.
I didn't even have a proper job that time. Yet I managed to make your sister an engineer and you a doctor.
Being my daughter, you begged to an asshole who left you!!!! "

Samaira hugged her mother without allowing her to complete.

"You are right mom.From this moment, Naveen is noone to me. I promise you, I would live for my kids hereafter. "she said slowly and her mother hugged her tight. Her mother knew she was hurt big time but she had to overcome the pain. She had to move on.

2 Years Later

Praniti slowly leaned on to Ayush's shoulder who was lazily changing the channels of their television.
She slowly hugged him and he reciprocated.
"Happy Father's Day, Ayush!! "she whispered softly making him jump.

"What do you mean????"he yelled on top his lungs.

"Muah!"she just gave him a flying kiss making him grin widely.
........

The news reached Samaira's ears and she was the most happiest.
She came flying to see her pregnant friend.
Kevin was now four years old and joined school.
Her newborn baby was named Reyaan and he was two years old.

Now she sat chatting with Praniti.
"Sam, don't be angry if I ask you something."

"Okay! Ask. "

"If something happens to me after delivery, would you look after my child? And love him or her like your own? "

"Why the hell are you speaking such things? Nothing would happen to you."

"Promise me Sam... I don't have anyone to ask this other than you and Ayush. He'll look after our child, I know. But none can love a child like his mother. Promise me, You'll love him or her like a mother... Please??? "

"OK promise. Even if you hadn't asked me to promise, I would do the same. Your child is like mine too."

Praniti hugged her best friend,unaware of the fate waiting for her.

------------------

Samaira sat emotionless on a chair in her room.
She was officially separated from her husband yesterday, in the court.
The fact that hunt her down was not the separation, but the loans that were taken from bank on her name to build their house.
The amount was a huge lot and she won't be able to finish them any soon with her current salary.
Till the last month, Naveen and her was sharing the amount.
Now that they were separated, he had cut all his connection with her and asked her never to meet him.
About the loan, he told her that they are not even acquaintances now and she should take the responsibility of whatever is on her name.

She was now trying hard to find a solution. She could go bankrupt anytime.

She have heard from one of her friends in Dubai that doctors have a high demand in UAE.

She quickly took her phone and dialled a number.

"Hello! Jannat! "

"Hey, Hi Sam! "

"Would you give me shelter if I come and stay over there for a year or two ?"
