Arjun POV

Yesterday night, Simmi called to inform me that they found a girl for me, to marry me. For them the girl is beautiful and of our status and they told me its high time for me to get married now. But somewhere I don't know why I felt like I'm not allowed to marry anyone. Maybe I did something hidden from my family in those years, I don't know why but I felt more restlessness after hearing that I'm going to marry someone. In these thought I left house today morning before my usual time for morning jog as I wasn't able to sleep last night with this restlessness.

During my jog I stop when I saw a lady in her mid 20s standing infront of a building named 'St. James kindergarden' holding a baby of 1 or 2 year old in her arms wearing white top with blue jeans and black shades on her eyes. Her French braided hairs were lying on her left shoulder. I don't know what was in her that I felt some connection with her. She isn't looking an American. She bend on her knees and kissed a boy of 5-6 years old and after hugging her, boy kissed the baby's chubby cheek and went in the building with another lady of middle age. Then that lady with baby walk towards the cafe.

I thought now I should jog back to home but just when I turn my cell ring and flash my PA's number. I took the call and said "yeah Lara what happened?" She spoke "ASR, sorry to disturb you but I have to inform you about the urgent meeting with Mr Smith. He called to inform us that due to some emergency he have to leave for Canada in three hours so he asked to prepone the meeting ?" I asked "Okay what time did he suggest?" She replied "ASR he suggested that Can we meet in this hour as he have to reach airport in two hours."

I thought and ordered "Lara connect me to Mr Smith." She replied "yes ASR." And within one minute I heard ringing and then I said "It's ASR here. Can I speak to Mr Smith?" Mr Smith said "Good morning ASR. I m sorry for the inconvenience but I have an emergency so can we meet in this hour. If you don't have problem then we meet in any cafe near your house so I can reach to airport." I think and said "Fine Mr Smith I'm already out we can meet in Street Cafe treat near my house." Mr Smith agreed and I hung up the call. I went in the cafe when my eyes again found the thing of its attraction, the same lady I don't know why but seeing her make my restlessness reduces maybe she that beautiful. But what I saw this time my restlessness grew more as I saw unshed tears in her eyes which she rubbed the next instance and composed herself. She was talking on her phone when I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw Mr Smith. I stood up, we shook our hands and I spoke slowly "I think you don't mind me in a casual wear as I was out for jog when I receive information about this urgent meeting." Mr Smith smiled and said "No. Even I'm glad you accept to meet me on such an urgent call. By the way everything looks great on you ASR." I chuckled and we finished our meeting in 25 minutes and he left for airport.

When I was about to leave the cafe after finishing my black coffee I saw her still sitting their maybe waiting for someone. When I stood up for leaving after paying the waiter my eyes clashed with hers and I saw it, by my eyes there was a look which shows she knew me and something else which I thought was maybe love for.. for me. So I start walking towards her to asked did we met before but when I reached near her I scared to death, don't know why, as I saw her big doe eyes closing slowly so I took long strides and reached her to protect her and the baby from falling and getting hurt as she faint in my arms my breathe got stuck in throat. But soon I made her sit on chair carefully and took baby in my arms who was on verge of crying due to the fear of falling suddenly relaxed and snuggled in my chest clutching my shirt tightly. And I felt it again as baby belongs to me, like it's common things for me carrying this baby in my arms. But soon my restlessness grew to more than anytime as I saw the lady still unconcious so I called my driver and asked him to come and meet me at cafe fast. That's when her phone ring and I received thinking her husband and inform him about her state without talking or listening him as I felt hatred bubbling inside my heart for that unknown person who can be her closed one or...Husband. I don't want to think maybe he was her husband as that thought feels like someone stabbing my heart.. the reason is unknown to me.

Soon I heard baby's soft snoring as I saw baby slept in my arms I kissed the baby's chubby cheek to which he or she responded by clutching my shirt more tightly. I feel blessed in that moment but my restlessness didn't decrease as the lady still unconcious and I can't leave the baby and attend her but soon I saw HIM coming towards us. I thought of asking HIM what is HE doing here ? while HE stood shocked near the door as HE saw us. Maybe HE misunderstood me with lady or something but why did HE care about anything when HE himself break our relationship. He shouldn't be effected by anything related to me. After few moments of shock when HE ran towards me I felt relief after seeing HIM finally coming to me but then what HE did made me stunned as HE knee down near the lady while trying to wake her up and my world turn upside down as I thought that the unknown person whom I was hating was HIM. But soon I recovered as I saw she still didn't wake up so I made HIM stand holding his arms and give the baby to HIM. As HE took the baby looking at me strangely as if I'd grown two heads, leaving HIM, I turn towards the reason of my restlessness and picked her up in my arms, I ordered "Hospital. Let's go." To my driver who came just now, I start walking towards exit after driver left while HE followed me with the baby in his arms.

Soon we reached the hospital and doctor took her for check up and treatment. I am standing outside of the room right now with baby in my arms as baby woke up after reaching and start crying and jumping in HIS arms to come to me so HE passed the baby to me and baby did stopped crying as if baby got what he/she was yearning for. While HE is standing beside me looking away. So now I think to talk to HIM about the baby, the lady and about HIM. But before I spoke he shout "Damn it." And I had to bit my lips to control the urge of laughing at HIM. When HE glared at me , I asked shrugging my shoulder, innocently "What?"

HE said finally "I have to go and bring Aryan back from kindergarden as it would be getting over in half hour and I need half hour to reach there only so I have to go." I nod saying "Took the keys from driver or go with him." as I knew he left his bike at cafe. Nodding his head. HE start walking away but stopped and turned towards me again and said "be here. I will be back." and left. But I heard his request in his words which is useless as I wasn't going anywhere leaving her and baby till I found her standing on her leg fit and fine. Sitting on the bench of the corridor I again thinking about blurred flashes which I saw after seeing her first time outside the kindergarden.
