A love to heal

Chapter-1

Riya's  pov:

 I woke up and turned off the alarm to get ready for the day.After completing my morning routine,I went to kitchen and prepared a light breakfast for both of us.

Then,I went to Racheal's room and saw her sitting in the bed yawning.I glared at her and said "You are getting late".

She smiled lazily and mumbled a sorry.I rolled my eyes and pushed her to bathroom.Then I went to my room and took a saree to wear.

Though for the past two years,I am wearing the saree daily,It really takes more time for me to make it perfect and formal.

When I came to dining table,I saw her waiting for me.She looked up and said "You look good babe".I smiled and we finished our breakfast.When we went near the door steps.I remembered one thing that I have to follow from today.

I grabbed Racheal's hand and she frowned.

"I need your help".I asked and dragged her inside to the dressing table in my room and showed the hairstyle pic in my mobile.

She nodded and started doing it.Initially it was her who taught me to wear a saree with proper pleats.Now I hope I will learn this too.

"So now,this is the new rule laid by your beloved correspondent".She asked when she finally finished her work.

"Yes,I have received the mail regarding this yesterday".I answered and looked in the mirror.I felt good as the bun she made was really elegant and it didn't make me look as a aged woman about which I worried a lot.

Seeing me checking my looks with the mirror continuously .Racheal replied,"You look good with this too".I smiled widely at her and hugged her.I always felt blessed to have her as a friend.

When she got into her scooty, she offered me to drop  as it is the first day of academic year.I also agreed,because I have many procedures to complete before the assembly and going by the bus will not help me .

When we reached the school,I bid her bye and quickly went to office room and signed on my attendance and went to check my schedule for today and shockingly I was assigned to upper kinder garden for the first three hours.I got confused as I was handling fourth and fifth grade last year and I was expecting the same.

When I felt a tap on my shoulder,I turned to see Anitha smiling at me."don't worry we are not depromoted. It is just a temporary arrangement .We will do this for a month or two"

I nodded and then she continued "last year two staff who were in charge of  UKG resigned and we are going to handle those two classes till they hire new teachers ".

I frowned once again and asked "But how only we both ended up?".

She shrugged and said "I too don't have idea .Yesterday Nancy mam called me and told that ,when this issue was raised , our beloved Correspondent mam picked up your name ,as no one were willing to do.And I being your best friend and the bestest colleague gave my name voluntarily".

I laughed at her last part and thanked her.Then we went to our classrooms.Since there was more time for the assembly,I stood in the corridor watching the entrance.My gaze shifted to a father-daughter duo.He is walking from the gate holding the girl in his arms not caring about his neatly ironed clothes.He must be a businessman as he was wearing a blazer

She was constantly saying something to him and seems like he is not accepting it.Finally ,when he let her down,she kissed his cheek  and he reflected the same and bid her bye.

My thoughts drifted towards my own sweet memory.

I got down from my school bus and headed towards my home.When I entered into my house,I saw my father working  in his laptop.

As soon as he watched me ,he kept it aside and swiftly came to me with a big grin .I laughed when he lifted and swirled me in the air.

He stopped when he heard mom's voice. "Don't you think that you are spoiling her.She is already six years old and still you are treating her like a new born baby".

He made a face ignoring my mom's words and slowly whispered in my ears "Your mom is jealous as you love your dad more".

I laughed at him and nodded.

I shook my head and went to call Anitha to accompany the students for assembly.

Ajay's pov:

I opened my eyes when I felt a small weight on my back as I was laying on my stomach.

I smiled and abruptly turned facing the ceiling which caused her to fall on the other side of the bed.

I laughed at my cute niece and made her sit on my stomach.

"Why are you up this early eeshaa ?".I dragged her name deliberately to see her reaction.

As I predicted,she fumed cutely and replied,"Isha".

Suppressing my laugh "Okay now what do you want ? I asked her.

"Will you drive me to school today.It is my first day and I don't want to be late".She answered

Then I remembered that she is entering into Senior kinder Garden this year.

"What about your parents?"I asked her.

She looked down and said "I am scared to ask them.Last night, they had a fight.They shouted a lot."

I sighed and mentally cursed my brother and SIL. No one will believe me if I say that theirs was a love marriage. 

Dad might go and visit the orphanage today.And  Bhabhi will go to her NGO centre like everyday.So there will be no drivers.

I pulled her cheeks and replied,"Okay only if you get ready in next 30 minutes".

Her face brightened"You are the best SD" saying this she kissed my cheek and ran away.

I smiled at her nick name for me and took my mobile to message John that I will be quite late today. 

After getting ready,I checked my reflection in the mirror.Today I have meeting with some foreign delegates.

When I came to dining table,I saw my brother asking his wife or rather yelling at her to drop their daughter.

"Why can't you do this Sakshi?"My brother questioned.

"I need to go early today and I will surely end up late if I drop her  . Akshay Don't forget that she is  your daughter too and it is also your responsibility ".Bhabhi yelled back.

I cleared my throat and made them cleared that I will be doing the job which they are arguing  about. 

When we finished our breakfast , I took hold of Isha's hand and walked to the car.

After putting her in passenger seat,I drove to her school.When we reached ,I opened the door and lifted her in my arms.

"SD put me down."Isha protested.

"Why? Is there any rule that parents should not lift their kids in this school?"I asked.

"No,But see no one is doing that" saying this she looked around.

"Oh so my baby is feeling shy".I tickled her lightly to which she laughed  and I let her down.

She kissed my cheeks and I reciprocated the same and bid her bye.

One should feel lucky to start their day like this.

I walked back towards my car and messaged John that I am on the way.
