TWINS ~A Journey Of Two Souls~

Them And Their Moms

The darkness covered the home with it's cold blanket.

A figure jumped up from the gate then ran through the pass way covering with flowers and sneaked in through the giant wooden door, praying that everyone is asleep.

"You are home son! I was waiting for you since forever!" A voice came from his back, making him jump like his soul literally came out of his body.

"You are awake?" The poor boy asked, shuttering.

"Aww! My innocent baby, how can I sleep peacefully, when my son is outside till..... What is the time, now?" Asked the person, only to increase the heartbeat of him.

Manik gave the person a blank look. How much he just wanted to ran away from there. But, he knew perfectly that he just stepped into the lion's tail.

"Woh mumma ke babu! Time kya hua hai?" This time the person snapped. Enough of him playing cool.

"2:30am", Manik spilled almost flinching.

"Sorry, didn't hear clearly say it again!"

"Haww! Dad, I think you should sleep now. You are having problem in hearing." And with that the over confident Malhotra was back.

"Shut up!"

"It's 2:30, and you are home now?" Shrikant scolded the poor boy. And Manik's eyes was only searching where his mom could be. Didn't she knew her son need her now.

Whatever that was, he need to fight alone with his Hitler like father, he thought.

"Why aren't you answering?" The oldie asked again, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Woh! Dad... woh ..."

"Woh ki aage kuch bolega?"

"Woh main Yash ke ghar gaya tha, notes lene!" Mumma's poor baby managed to spilled the sentence in one breathe but was successfully unsuccessful to feed his father with his lies.

"Really?" Shrikant asked rising his brow.

"Shrikant jiii, kaha ho aap?" Before the oldie could ask more questions, the shout interfere. Saving the poor mumma's boy. And Manik not wasting any other time just vanished out of the side as fast as possible.

"Thanks mum!"

As the sun woke up from it's deep slumber alluring the world, breaking the beautiful's sleep. Her brows crunch, eyes protest to get a little more sleep, as the orange rays fall on her face softly. Finally giving up she opened her eyes and sat up resting her back on the headboard. The lady turned her head to the side to find her better half still sleeping peacefully. His face was turned to her side allowing her get the full view of him.

Smiling, she said her prayers, closing her eyes, joining her hands. She started with praying for the happiness of her small family. And at the end, she thanked her Creator to gave her one more day to support and love her family, she finished her prayer. After finishing her prayer she get up to be ready for the day to began.

When she was all set with making breakfast along with Nivedita, she moved for upstairs. Handing Nivedita the rest of the minor works. The girl assured her to go, making Mohini smile.

Although, Nivedita wasn't really her daughter by birth, she loved her like her own. She still remembered, when her sister took the promise from her to take care of Nivedita on her death bed. Her father was gone before her birth. Leaving her widow mother to took care of Nivedita alone. But, soon the death knocked on her door also, as the cancer didn't had the heart to leave the mother to her daughter.
