The colours of love

My offer

"Icecream! Yummy !!" my daughter squealed, as she saw her order approaching us. 

"Manners,  muffin!  Don't shout.."

"Sonaaa!  Let her be, " Dev cut me off.

And my traitor daughter giggled. She giggled!  This midget!  I will deal with her when I am alone. 

"Stop plotting her murder!" Dev whispered.

"This is not fair. You play the good cop and I will be forgotten, " I pouted.

My mood swings have reached a top notch!  One moment I am extremely confident and the other minute I am insecure. I wasn't like this during Adhya's pregnancy. Then again,  I did not have people nor support like I do now!  When Dev got to know that the baby started kicking, he wanted to celebrate. He wanted every milestone of the baby to remembered and celebrated. And hence this restaurant today. 

"No matter what I do, I will never be able to replace you in our daughters life," he said,  his voice suddenly serious.

"Amma, you want?" my daughter said as she offered me a bite of ice-cream.
I shook my head.

"You should eat, amma.  I will feed you,"  and I teared up. Damn hormones!

The next day we reached the office after dropping Adhya in the school.  My stubborn husband, who insisted he was fine, wanted to go to office. And I tagged along saying I want to make sure he was fine.

Dev's younger brother Sam,  has been interning in the office.  He said he wanted a break after his eleventh and twelfth. And Poorna Attayya almost fainted after she got to know that.  My family is very particular about academics.  And if there is one person who is more than worried about all of our careers then it was Poorna Attayya.  She strongly believed that every business will have it's good days and bad days. And education is the only way that we can be prepared for our draught days. She was very reluctant to let Maan pursue music. She is still skeptical about Anya's fashion designer plans.  And she threw a fit with Sammy's 'I want a break' concept. So my husband came with an idea. He sugges Sammy take his break. But he will enjoy his freedom only with money he wants from interning in the office. Good deal right? Sammy has decided he will do internship in every department to decide which department he will work in!  Ever wonder what would I do I had a chance like that.

Today when I entered the office,  Sammy was in the office setting Dev's table.

"Good morning Annayya and Vadina.  How are you doing today?" he greeted us.

"What are you doing here?" Dev asked as he casually unbuttoned his blazer and draped it over his chair.

"OMFL, "  Sam shrieked.

And Dev rolled his eyes. "What is it Sammy? "

"I heard it right.  It is so difficult to handle so much hotness in a room".

"Excuse me? " I asked bewildered.

"You are excused Vadina. I mean how do your PA,  a warm blooded young female work with this, " he said gesturing my husband.

Come to think of it,  "you are so right Sam!  So much hotness!!" I started blowing my face. "This room is hot even with the A.C., don't you think? "

Sam's eyes twinkled with mischief and my husband eyes was filled with irritation.  Then we continued to irritate him,  till he kicked us out. Sam and I came out of the room and burst out laughing. After recomposing ourselves,  I entered Swetcha's office, where Layla was already there.

"You are late, " Layla pointed out.

"You are smiling. What's gotten you smiling? " Swetcha enquired.
