~Angel~
I left Sachin's home. Today has been a long day . I knew Ruhi would be missing me. Moreover, I missed Ruhi and Sachin. The little girl pretended to be angry, but seeing the chocolates, her anger vanished. When I decided to tease her, she snatched the things claiming it all as hers. She's one little girl,that I have seen up growing. She's one of a kind ,and has got most of her habits from Sachin. But yeah, she's my little friend.
We went to the mall as Sachin had promised Ruhi. And I had to be there. When I'm not with them, ruhi insists me to come over,and when I deny, she becomes angry on me. Her tantrums always make me melt. But the day doesn't seem good. We went into the mall, as always, Ruhi demanded another stuff toy and she pulled me along with her. She wanted me to choose a toy for her. Together we, selected a teddy bear of her size. Sachin entered the shop to make the payment, while Ruhi rushed out of the shop and I followed her. The space outside the shop was spacious and so Ruhi was running around with her teddy bear. I held her hand,but the little girl wanted to play around.
"Mujhe wahan Jana hai." She pointed towards the kids zone.
I smiled. "Abhi jayenge hum. Papa toh aa jaye Aapke." I said.
Ruhi looked at me and agreed reluctantly. Meanwhile,my phone rang, and I attended it. While I was talking ,I Heard Ruhi's cry. I turned around to find a lady holding her hand and taking her away . I tried to take hold on Ruhi,but she was pulling her.
"She is my daughter." The lady claimed.
"Nahi. How can you do this. Chodiye iska haath. Wo aapko jaanti tak Nahi." I shouted at the lady.
" Nahi, ye meri beti hai, isey main hi le jaungi." She said adamantly.
Meanwhile, Sachin came out and was raged to see the lady pulling Ruhi ignoring the fact that the girl was crying. He jerked off the lady's hand.
"Ye aap kya kar Rahi Hain? Bachi ro Rahi hai, fir bhi aapko fark Nahi padta? Aur aise kaise aap Kisi ko bhi le ja Sakti hai?" He shouted at the lady.
"Dekhiye wo meri beti hai, hame jaane dijiye." The lady said.
"Oh please! Aap Hoti kaun hai meri beti ko hath lagane wali. Jaiye aur apni beti ko kahin aur dhundhiye. Meri beti ke Aas paas bhi aap nazar Nahi aani Chahiye." Sachin said angrily.
I grabbed Sachin's hand.
"Sachin chalo, don't create a scene here. Let's go." I said.
He was angry , he lifted Ruhi in his arms and tried to pacify her. Meanwhile, we saw a guy pacifying the lady. I went up to them.
"Dekhiye,I don't know what is your problem, lekin Kisi aur ke Bache ko behlana bhi Sahi baat Nahi Hoti." I said and joined Sachin.
Ruhi seemed calm being in her father's embrace. Though,this adoption was on the name of Sachin's mother, the little girl called him Papa. No matter what the society thinks, the bond that these two share is heartfelt. Ruhi has adapted most of Sachin's habits, a few of mine as well. The time I spend with them is priceless.
We went into the cafeteria and I moved to order food for us. There I saw the same couple. The lady was saying that Ruhi was her daughter. Why would one day so? Did they abandon their daughter? What's the proof? Why are they back suddenly? Even if they are, will Sachin let Ruhi go? Such questions bubble in my mind. I decided not to talk to Sachin about this. We have our food, Ruhi and Sachin played in the kids zone, and then we returned back. But at home, something shocked us. The same couple in the mall was here. Sachin was angry seeing them,but then the guy told him something that left him shocked.
He told me that Ruhi has a birthmark on her neck,same as the daughter of the couple. The thought made me shiver. I tapped his shoulders.
"Everything will be fine Sachin. Ruhi kahin Nahi jayegi." I said.
" agar tum mere sath ho toh mujhe koi tension Nahi hai
" He said holding my hand.
I smiled. Yeah , all these five years were bliss with Sachin and Ruhi. When Ruhi started to grow up, she used to complain to me that her father only works and doesn't play with her. I used to laugh and then I had to scold Sachin because it made Ruhi happy. We're one happy family, and there is no doubt.
The only difference there is, is about me and Sachin. Yeah, he does thank me for being by his side, and I long to be with him. Though,I don't know how does he feel about me. That's one thing to be thought about us. And we both haven't talked about it yet. And only thinking won't help. I slap my forehead lightly, knowing that I have to do something about it soon. But how? Amongst all these thoughts ,I reached home.
I changed into casuals and laid on the bed. At the same time, I got a call, from my boss,who left me in a dilemma.
To Be Continued.
Why is Angel left in a dillemma?
Stay tuned.
