Sandhya pov

I got downstairs after getting ready for Jyoti's sangeet ceremony .

My little baby was running around wearing her anklets that Papa has got for her .
They jingled as she ran around making her stomp her foot in order to Jingle them more.
Papa was running behind her clapping his hand .

Shrishti picked up Amu and twirled her around making her chortle.
Let's get Going everybody....or we will get late and I don't want to upset Jyoti anymore....I said and Papa nodded .
Mummaaa ...Amu stretched her arms out towards me Asking me to take her and I grabbed my baby in my arms .

My Amu will dance today.....I said and she swayed in my lap standing up showing me her dance as Shrishti played the music in the car.

We shortly reached the venue and I met Jyoti who hugged me cheerfully and kissed Amu's cheek and Amu wipped it off immediately making me chuckle while Jyoti made a pout .
She won't let any stranger kiss her cheek . She did that to me too during initial period and I used to get so jealous of Vardhan for this and he knew it well .

Soon the groom and his Family came too and the function began .
Amu was enjoying herself but she won't go to anyone if someone comes towards her ..
She would run into me instantly.

Papa and Maa left early after a few performances .
Surya held Amu in his arms as it was time for my performance.
Yupp she is very familiar and comfortable with Surya . In fact she calls him "Suya ".
I tried to teach her to call Surya uncle but she stuck with calling him by his name only because Vardhan and I  call him by his name .
Shrishti was recording my dance in her phone.

Amu cheered seeing me dancing and clapped her hands making me smile .
As others joined the floor I took Amu in my arms and Dance with her .
I got thirsty and had a cold drink .

Amu slept on our way back home and I was tired too because of dancing continuously for 3 hrs .
But I enjoyed it fully ..

I changed Amu's clothes and covered her in a blanket before getting myself into my night clothes.

It was around 1 in the night . I thought to call him once but what if he might have slept .
I decided to check on him in morning and got into the comforter with my Baby .

I woke up a little late and my body was paining and my throat hurt too .
I think I have got sore throat.

I took a bath and sauntered downstairs.
Amu was being fed by Papa and I smiled seeing them both busy with each other .
Shrishti might have left for her college.

Maa smiled at me and asked me to have breakfast.
I had some hot tea to sooth my aching throat and it helped a bit .
Sandhya I am taking Amu with me to school ...Papa informed me .
But she won't let you work and would disturb you ....I said in my hoarse voice.

Did you have something chillled yesterday...Papa asked me and I smiled sheepishly.
You take some rest and Vidya give her some honey and ginger to soothe her throat...he said to Maa to which she nodded .

And you don't have worry about Amu. She will enjoy today with her Naanu ...he said and Amu bobbed her head in Yes with her mouth full of food making me chuckle.

I packed some necessary items in a bag for Amu and gave it to Papa and they both left for the school along with Surya .

I helped Maa with some work but then she sent me to my room asking me take proper rest.
I nodded at her and came to my room .
I was feeling bored so I called my dear husband who himself has not checked on his wife and daughter till now .
He must be on  his way to office ...I guessed looking at the time .

His phone rang but he didn't picked up. I tried for few more times but the call was not answered.
Where is this man busy .
I called Maa to inquire about him .

Hello Sandhya! Kesi ho beta or Amu kesi hai...Maa asked answering my call .
Mei aur Amu bilkul thik hai maa. Vo to Papa k saath school gai hai . Aap kese ho ..I asked..
Mei bhi thik hu but tumhari awaj ko kya hua h ....Maa asked and I sighed.
Kuch nahi maa bus thoda gala khrab ho gya ....I informed her and as usual she asked me to take care of myself.
After talking for some time I asked her about him .

Maa ... Vardhan Office gye kya . Phone nahi answer kar rahe hai mera ...I asked .
Beta Vo to kal shamm ko hi Apna bag pack kar k chala gya. Keh Raha tha koi Important meeting hai uski ....Maa told me and I frowned.
He didn't mentioned about any meeting to me earlier.
Okay Maa. Free hoke call kar lenge ....I said and she bid bye asking me to take care of myself and Amu .

I called Rahul to know about his whereabouts as I was getting tensed .
Good morning Ma'am....Rahul greeted me .
Good morning Rahul . Where is he ...I asked him directly.
Ma'am Sir has come to Kolkata for some meeting...he informed shocking me.

But he had promised me to leave that deal . My heart sank deeper thinking about all the possibilities.
Rahul can you tell me exactly what is this meeting for exactly...I asked ..
I am sorry ma'am ...I can't tell you anything about it . I will inform sir that you have called...he said and I sighed hanging up the call .

Vardhan call me as soon as you get free ...I texted him and sat on the bed with my head in my palms .
I can't even tell Dad about it without confirming myself if he is there for that same thing or something else .
I paced here and there in the room feeling restless every passing second.

I won't talk to you if you broke your promise ..I thought in my head . I just felt like crying. Fear has gripped my heart .
I shouldn't have come here leaving him .
But he said he wont continue that deal then what is he doing in Kolkata now .

My phone ranged displaying his name and I immediately picked it up ..
Aapne kaha tha vo deal chod denge ... Kolkata mei kya kar rahe h aap .
Did you forget your promise.
I won't talk to you ever if you broke your promise.....I said and started sobbing in the end .

Hogya tumhara. Meri baat sunogi ab ...he said sighing on the other end ..
Stop crying...he said sternly and I sobbered up .
Yes I promised you and I remember that . But business mei kuch rules hote hai . Asse ghar p Beth k sab cancel nahi Kiya jaa sakta .
I have come here for that thing only .
I have cancelled the Hotel plan ...okay now ....he said and I could feel he is angry at me .
I am sorry but meri kya galti h...aap ne mujhe bataya nahi ki Kolkata jaana padega to ekdum se merko assa hi lagega na. ...I said trying to justify myself.

Haan to assa laga to wait karti na ...pehle hi Rona dhona start kar deti hai....he huffed making me giggle.
Acha ab ho gya na ....ab ku phoot rahe ho mere p....I said with a pout .

Mei aapse baat nahi karugi ....ye vo ...kis se baat karegi agar mere se nahi karegi to...he chided and I smiled slapping on forehead.
Sorry na...Ab ye batao breakfast Kiya .....I said and changed the topic.
Hmmm ....he hummed and I sighed ,at least he got back to normal.

I talked to him for sometime telling him about Amu and last night .
Okay ...I have to go somewhere now.. he said and hanged up .

Now I can truly relax for sometime...I thought and laid on the bed .
I called Papa in between to check on Amu and slept for a few hours.

It was already evening when I woke up.
Why nobody woke me up till now .
I freshened up and walked downstairs feeling hungry.

Papa and Maa were having their tea while Amu was no where to be seen .
Papa where is Amu ....I asked gaining their attention.
She is playing outside with Shrishti....Maa said and I nodded .

I decided to check on Amu once before eating something. She might be hungry too ....I thought although I know Shrishti would have made her eat something but being a mother I need to check it once myself.

Amuuuu....I called her as she was running after Shrishti and she grinned widely seeing me and came rushing to me and hugged my legs .
I picked her up kissing her face making her giggle.
Is my baby Hungry....I asked nuzzling to her nose and she nodded in yes .

Shrishti too walked inside with us and I sat down as Maa brought me lunch .
Amu ate a few bites but then started playing with the spoons and I knew that she is not hungry.
Mumma eat she forwarded me her spoon dipping it in the curry and I opened my mouth and licked the spoon .

Shrishti was telling me about her college
and mentioned about one of her male friend.
Do you like him ...I asked and she nodded in No but her blush told otherwise.
I chuckled looking at her and she pouted at me .

He is my senior Diii ....he is really intelligent and captain of our College Football team too ....She spilled the truth and I smiled at her .
It's ok but don't do anything that make you regret later ....I said and she nodded hugging me sideways.
I won't ...would you like to meet him ....She asked .

Why not ....I said and she grinned widely.
Okay then ....Shall I invite him in Jyoti Di's wedding. Nobody get suspicious too ...she said and I chuckled slapping her head .

What is his name by the way ....I inquired .
Rishab Thakur....She told me with a shy smile.
I guess my sister is completely smitten by her newly formed boyfriend.
