Chapter # 1.
"WOW!!"
Pranav was about to run inside when Nupur pulled him back from his arm, "behave yourself", she whispered strictly and pranav made a sad face. Stealing a glance at the man and kid beside him, parnav quietly started walking, holding her mother's hand tight.
"Welcome home!",
A woman in about her early forties was standing on the main door, with an ever soft smile on her face,
"aao ander", she stepped aside and Nupur entered her NEW home. Her first step came with a nervousness and flutter in her heart, but she made sure she was holding pranav's hand tight.
"okay dad!, now I am sleepy, good night!!", the other kid yawned and Nupur unconsciously looked at the man beside her who was supposedly her husband.
"okay champ! Sweet dreams!", the man sat on his knees and ruffled the child's hair and kissed his head, "make sure u brush your teeth!", he gave him a soft glare and the kid nodded his head, "okay daddyyy, I love u very very much!", he hugged him with his tiny arms around his neck and was about to turn when the woman stopped him.
"Rahul!", her authoritative voice was enough to gain their attention, 'yes bua?', the kid turned and asked respectfully.
"you need to say good night to your mummy too!", she ordered strictly and the kid helplessly looked at his father, and sensing the deep dilemma in his son's eyes, mayank again got back to his knees.
"bua is right right champ, come on say good night to aunty..
"mayank!", diya again interrupted, "didi please..", he said strictly and got back to his son, "come on, be a good boy and say good night", he patted his cheek and the kid took a few steps towards Nupur.
"good night aunty..", he spoke softly and respectfully while nupur smiled nervously, 'good night beta", she slowly patted his cheek and and Rahul moved away.
"bua can I go now?", Rahul turned towards diya and she nodded plainly. Sighing, rahul again looked at his dad, and receiving a warm smile from him, He ran towards his room.
Mayank's eyes followed him to his room and once rahul closed the door, mayank looked around , where he found that Nupur was tightly holding pranav's hand and his didi was trying to say something to her.
"per didi, nayi jaga pe akela kasie soye ga?", nupur's voice was tensed and the grip of her hand over pranav's arm was increasing.
"Nupur koi baat nahi, paranv is a brave boy, kyun pranav?", diya looked at pranav and he smiled weakly, "good, chalo main ap ko ap ka naya bed room dikhati hon", diya took his hand and he reluctantly gave in.
"good night maa..', his voice was scared and nupur kissed his cheek, "good night beta, aur darna mat, main yahin hon , ap k pass", she softly ruffled his hair and was able to inject confidence in him, he smiled confidently and looked at maaynk who also smiled, "good night beta", he spoke himself, before his didi would insist him on saying dad.
"good night uncle", he replied innocently and diya frowned, "okay so, mayank aur Nupur, tum dono bhi araam kar lo, good night", she took pranav's hand and both of them went upstairs leaving mayank and Nupur alone in the huge lounge.
Once Nupur saw paranv was in the room she hesitantly looked at mayank who passed her a weak smile,
"chalien?", mayank said in a nervous voice and nupur's nod in return was equally nervous.
They both started walking slowly upstairs with a strange tornado of emotion in their hearts.
A SECOND MARRIAGE - this was the first phrase that crossed their minds. A wedding night on the first marriage means something else and on a second marriage it means completely something else.
