Forget 💔 and Love ❤️

Chapter 23

Aman looked at his Aunt who has become his mother now, she looked so distracted and drifted. He knows how she always covers up her sadness and tears from him. They lost their family and that's their bitter reality but along with that he also had lost his aunt that unfortunate day.

She was someone who was always cheery and happy. Her presence was enough to cheer up everyone and their moods. His grand parents and his parents used love her so much and used spoil her so much by pampering her.

He understands now she cannot be like before but he worries if he can see her true self ever again. They both lost their everything and it was very horrifying moment for him to watch everything getting destroyed in front of his eyes but he also knows that they had to move on.

Their doctor always says this to him.

It took days for him to get out of that shock but after that he had learnt that nothing was going to be like before and his aunt matters him the most now. It kind of scared him when he saw the grave look on her face for many days in the start but eventually she got better and the reason was Aman himself.

She smiles only at him but again he can see pain right through her eyes which mostly she covers by that blank look of hers and fake smiles. He never truly saw her smile or laugh or react anything until his buddy came into their lives and he observed that Aadhya was different around him. She looks lively and a little happy around him.

He wants that happiness to be with her all the time and it was the only time when Rishabh is around they don't think about their past and family which was quite surprising.

Aman looked at her again who is just tossing her food in her plate but didn't eat a single bite.

" Mumma, you are not eating." He stated and she looked at him.

" I don't feel hungry beta." Saying this she got up.

" Mumma if you don't eat then I will also not drink this milk." Aman said showing his glass.

" Aman....." She tried to act stern but she knows he was stubborn just like her.

" Okay okay I will eat." She started eating and he started drinking his milk.

" Mumma you said that Buddy will be busy and I should not ask him to meet me but I miss him mumma.....I want to meet him." Aman asked and saw her face turned sad.

" Amu, we are not his family. He has his own life and family. I don't want you to get attached to him.....please understand beta it would be better for us if we stay away from him." She said sadly.

" Don't you want him to be with us?" Aman asked and she looked at him stunned.

" He can't be with us beta.....it will be always you and me only." She said and tears formed in her eyes.

Aman didn't understand the meaning in her words but he didn't probe her further as to not to make her worry anymore than already she is.

Next day was Sunday and so she took him for shopping. They both went to a mall and walked to the kids section. She took many dresses for him and he asked her to buy games for him. She bought whatever he wanted and they walked to food section.

" Mumma you didn't buy anything for yourself." Aman said.

" I don't need anything beta." She said.

She doesn't want anything for herself and it had been months since she had last shopped anything for herself.

They ate and went to the games corner where Aman played many games and it was evening when they went home. She looked at her phone which has missed calls from Rishabh but she didn't let Aman know about it.
