Here's the next part. I'm glad that you guys are liking it. I'll be updating it daily from today.
Part 4:
It was 5 pm and as per they decided Rey came to pick her up. He was punctual and hated to wait for someone except for Payal. And Kriya made him wait for twenty minutes as she was stuck in some office work and ended up being late. Hurriedly, she wore a pink color churidar, with minimal make up and heeded downstairs.
"I'm sorry, I was busy with an important file. I hope you understand." She said in a calm tone.
"Yeah, it's fine." He replied trying not to sound irritated.
As Kriya entered the car, she found Kaira seated in the back seat. She looked at Rey in confusion because they didn't decide her coming along with them.
"Kaira wanted to come along and I couldn't deny her. Hope you're fine with it."
"Uh, sure."
The drive was quite silent. But Kaira being a loquacious child, couldn't stop herself from talking.
"Daddy where are we going?"
"To Cafe Coffee Day."
"Oh wow. You know mommy, I just love the ice cream they sell over there. It's just yummy."
"Wait a minute, what did you call me?" Kriya asked interrupting her.
"Mommy."
"Mommy?" Kriya kinda felt a bit odd on being mommy. On the other hand, even Rey didn't like Kaira calling Kriya as mommy. He always wanted her to call Payal as her mommy.
"Don't you like me calling you as my mommy?" Kaira asked with a sad face.
"Uh, no...not at all. Well, since I'm getting married to your daddy, you have the right to call me mommy." Kriya replied to her. But it seemed as though she was trying to explain herself.
Soon, they reached the coffee shop. Since Rey and Kaira often visited it, almost all the staff knew them. Rey requested the one of the waitresses to take Kaira away from there for a while until they finish their conversation.
"Kriya, I just wanted to tell you that, though we're getting married but I still love Payal. I can never forget her and will never be able to give you her place." Rey said sipping his coffee.
"I understand Rey. I completely understand. I know how it feels like when you lose the person whom you love."
For a while they shared about their past lives. They ckearly stated that it was difficult for them to forget their respective partners. Though they talked formally but still they felt a bit relieved after sharing their pain and agony. Then Rey asked the waitress to get Kaira back.
"Sir, Kaira baby wants the ma'am to come and get her." Rey looked at Kriya, with pleading eyes. Kriya just gave a small smile in return and got up to get Kaira.
As Kriya reached there, Kaira caught hold of her finger and took her towards the toys the she had been playing with. She began narrating everything that she did till now in her cute little voice with her hands moving in the air trying to explain her. Kriya just smiled at the little girl and kissed her cheek. Kriya understood that kaira missed the feeling of being with a mother all these years and when she got to know that she was getting a new mother, this excited the little girl.
"Let's go, your daddy is waiting for us."
As they stepped out of the room, Kriya's phone rang. It was from her office. She worked in her dad's company. Her assistant informed her that, one of the employees had some mistake and she was needed at that moment in the office. This angered Kriya and she almost yelled over the phone. For a moment, Kaira got scared. Once she put down the phone, Kriya looked at Kaira and smiled at her. This eased her a bit but still there was some sought of fright in her mind.
