Falling In love Again!!!

Chapter 11: Regret!

Anika didn't see him teary-eyed ever in her 5 years of marriage but he got welled up when she denied him to see his daughter. She was worried for Naina, She has been going through it every single day in her life. When her therapist's words came to her mind, She feared, She might be wrong, And she should have let him meet his daughter. Naina rushed inside their house. She looked around and ran towards the one room to the other room. 

"Naina, What happened?" - Anika asked her finally, Anika looked better than before when the medicines started to work. She started to feel alright after shivaay visits her. 

"Where is Papa?" - Naina asked her, Anika was shocked, How in the world she knew he visits their house. Anika looked at Greta who picked her up from the class. She nodded no to her. 

"What are you saying, Naina?" - Anika asked her in a bit higher tone. 

"I saw papa in my class, He's cheering up for me. Where is he?" - Naina asked Anika having tears in her black-beaming Eyes. Anika composed herself, Her welled up eyes reminded his welled up eyes for a second. He kneeled down up to her height and pulled her close to her. 

"Is Papa came to meet you?" - Anika asked her. 

"Yeah, He cheered up for me when I do the cartwheel, Before I could reach him, He left." - Naina said in a very low tone, She's almost a stage away to cry.

"He came to meet you but he has an important meeting to attend, So he left." - Anika lied looking at her as she can't tell her truth. 

"He always does this. I don't want to talk to him." - Naina said and moved to the bedroom and closed the door with a thud. 

"Naina, I will call him if you want. He will be loving to talk to you, Baby. Don't cry please." - Anika tried to console her when she heard her sobs from inside, Even the door was not locked, But Anika didn't dare to go inside and console her. Tears crossed her eyes when she realized it all happened because of her doubt. Greta left the house, She didn't know exactly what happened but she knew she was very rude to him.

She rested in the couch thinking about the incident again and again. She then realized He looked so thin from the last time she met him in the court, And she had no idea what had gone into her head. Naina stopped crying after a while and came out of the room. She walked towards Anika and placed her head in Anika's lap. Anika kissed her cheek, Over then she recalled his kiss on her forehead. She couldn't stop crying when Naina finally fell asleep in her lap. 

"I should have let him meet you, Sorry baby." - She kissed her little palms. 

Out of sudden, Anika's Phone rings. Her hands started to shiver when she saw her grandfather number flashing in her screen. She deleted his number but she couldn't forget his number ever due to her painful miseries. She didn't want to attend the call but she attended the fear of his male chauvinistic ego which can go to any extent. 

"Hello." - She spoke, There was a deep breath in return. 

"Hello, Anika, How are you, beta?" - He asked calmly. 

"Fine. Mr. Trivedi. How are you?" - Anika asked firmly, She stopped calling him daddaji from the moment she made her sign in the papers. 

"I can't say the same, Beta. But you're fine, That's enough." - He spoke, His tone and the way of talking slightly confused her. He never talked to her at that tone ever. 

"Why did you call?" - Anika asked him directly. 

"Just like that" -  Mr. Trivedi said. 

"What the hell going in your mind, Right now? Just for a few days, I got a little bit of peace in my life, Now you called me to destroy that. Please leave me alone. I got you what you want, right? Destroying my self-respect. Now the Trivedi's gene will go forward, Please don't call me, Again. I lost many things because of you, I don't have the energy to fight with you, Again. I am done. I am done with you, I am done with everyone. I am not asking for happiness, I am asking for a wave of peace, Please don't disturb me. Do you get that, Mr. Trivedi." - Anika said and rested the call. She was crying while talking to him but none of that heard by naina who was sleeping in her lap.
