Part 3
And the baby was still in the crying mode while the two ladies started to converse.
"Ayan? Where was he until now?" she murmured but the lady opposite her heard it. So she replied.
"He was having severe fever since one week. So hospitalised."
"Oh!" she looked carefully at the child's hand which hand a small Band-Aid with cotton.
*** May be he got the glucose drops! She needed to take good care of him! ***
"His mother?" she questioned directly this time.
"He is blessed to be only with Chief!" she smiled a faint smile.
"Did she"
"Left him to reach heaven!" Ragini said caressing Ayan's cheek, trying to calm him down.
*** Oh! She is no more in this world.
That's why he seemed to be lost!
And Ayan! Poor baby! Mother's love is the essence of one's life. Mother's hug is the safest place in this earth. I really hate god when he becomes indifferent with kids by taking their needs away from them. ***
"Ra.. Raa Sorry forgot your name!" smiling a sad smile.
"Ragini!" she smiled "Nani will also go as it's what I'm here!"
"Ragini!" and she extended her hand "Can I?"
Putting down the baby milk bottle, she cleaned Ayan's mouth as another question was asked to the Nani.
"1 month before! In a car accident." she replied as Anjali took the kid in her arms "I will come!" she said as she made her way towards the door with the milk bottle.
Anjali smiled looking at the kid as she started to get the baby do up and down, making him laugh with his beautiful singing song voice.
"Ayan!"
"Ja" he replied.
Hugging him to herself, a lonely tear escaped as she remembered her parents "Be always happy!" she said to the child and as if understanding, he smiled a toothy smile at her.
"Shall we go out?" she asked as she turned around to stop in her track as she saw a big image of Ayan sitting in a flower chair with 'Happy 1st Birthday' written colourfully on it.
She neared it and touched it and seeing her, he too got his hand out of his hold and extended it.
"It was taken 3 months back!" Nani replied as she saw Anjali there.
Nodding her head, she faced the Nani.
"He stopped crying!" she said as she approached Anjali to take back Ayan and the moment she was going to pull him towards herself, he cried taking hold of Anjali's hair, along with the simple chain she was wearing.
As he resisted to go to his Nani, Anjali asked to let him be with her for few more minutes and cocooned him, making him stop his cries immediately.
"I think he likes you a lot!" Ragini said as she left him and went to do put his dresses in the cupboard from a black bag.
Minutes started to pass and the little boy started to play and stay with Anjali. And with time, he slept.
"Dinner!" Suraj said as he sat in the dining table with Shieku getting things on the plate while Anjali stayed in the entrance of the kitchen, observing the events. She comes to action only when something is needed from the kitchen.
Hearing the gibberish of the baby in front of him, leaving the spoon and the concentration on the food, his gaze shifted to the baby which was in the Nani's hand, trying to get down.
"Ayaan" and there for the first time for the day he smiled.
*** Seeing him smile for the first time since I came.
Who will not smile seeing their child in the end of the day? ***
She questioned herself shaking her head as she stayed calm, out of everyone's view.
"Come on! Come on my boy!" he took Ayan from the lady and made him sit on the table "What were you doing my boy? Got well! Had dinner? Chachu Bolo(Call me Uncleee)" and his words trailed off while the kid continues his replies in his own languages.
*** Chachu? But he is ***
And her thoughts got cut with his voice.
"Papa boloo! Pa Pa!" he smiled as he kissed on the forehead.
"Paaah" Ayan repeated making the trio around the dining hall smile.
Seeing that the water was not placed, Shieku turned pulling away few tears as he entered the kitchen.
*** Why Bhaiya is sad? What is happening? ***
And 1000s of questions popped as she observed the unfolding scene.
- You are the only light in my dark life Ayan!
Without you, I wouldn't be here!
But what did I do in return?
I took away your parents from you!
I should have gone that day with them!
May be, they could have been spared.
Spared from god. Spared from the accident. Spared from being away from you. -
His train of thoughts comes to an end with the excited voice of Ayan "Maaahhh" with his face glowing, his lips forming a smile showing his small teeth and with his hands raised towards her.
"Anjali!" Suraj said as he looked at her questioningly as that was the direction in which Ayan is excited to go.
- Neither you, nor me has the luck to call our Mom!
When you will grow up, you will understand. -
*** I should have stayed where I was.
What was the need to come out?
Now he will ask questions and I will be like a clown searching for replies! ***
"Not Maa! Aunty!" Suraj corrected smiling at Ayan and turned towards Anjali "Stop" he said as he saw her getting inside the kitchen again "Come her" and his words got interrupted as his phone rang, calling him for an emergency.
"Raginni! Hold him!"
"Maaaw" Ayan again called out for Anjali as Rajinin took him with a smile seeing Anjali while Suraj attended the call with a stiff face.
"Suraj Rajvanshi here!" he said as he picked his plate and went towards his study room.
*** Rajvanshi? Rajvanshi Group of Companies owner? ***
"Mooo Paaah"
"Come!" Anjali "I will take care of him!" she says as she takes the child from Nani, making the kid to speak happily in his gibberish "Rajvanshi Group of Companies?" she questioned.
Ragini looked at her and replied "Chief is the one running them!" and left from there.
Again the week came to an end, with night falling earlier, Suraj came back to home and made his way towards Ayan's room.
Approaching the room, he can hear more and more clearly the beautiful voice signing lullaby.
- Who can it be? -
Hearing the cracking sound of the opening door, Anjali jumped in her place, waking up half-slept Ayan, making him cry.
"Cho cho cho!" she cocooned him, taking him in her arms "Ragini ji went out!" she said as she watched her Chief close the door after acknowledging the piece of information.
- Why is she always with Ayan?
Is she thrust worthy? -
"Where were you?" he questioned.
"Chief! I went to buy medicines for Ayan sab!" she replied showing the paper bag in her hand.
"Don't leave Ayan alone!" he said.
"But" and she paused as she got a what look from him. Bending her head "He is safe with Anjali ji! She is taking good care of him and he is also feeling good with her."
"She is here temporarily only! Understood?"
"Haan Chief!" and he went to his room.
- Wanted to spend some time with you Ayan! But you are in need of sleep when sleep is far away from my eyes as today is the birthday of my coach, my guide, my brother, your father. And each year we do a lot of good things together to celebrate it but this year, I have to do it in his name. I wish you join me from next year Ayan! -
Settling on his bed, his past reflected in front of him as he tried to sleep.
"Ayan! What do you want? Why are you crying?" Suraj in his room, settled in his bed with a crying Ayan on his lap "My big boy!" trying to play but still the baby was crying in his arms.
"Come in!" he said as he heard someone knock on the door.
Entering the room, her eyes immediately met Ayan's, who is now seeing her with his big orbs, extending his hands to her, still crying in his now papa's hands while she is holding her chief's coffee.
"Maa.aa.aaa"
"Ayan! Aunty! Tell Aunty!" Suraj corrected while Ayan continued to call for Anjali.
Putting the coffee on the side table, she extended her hands, making Ayan jump out of Suraj's hand and land in hers.
- Why is she this carrying towards Ayan?
Can there be any hidden motives? -
*** Until the day I'm here, you can call me whatever you want Ayan dear!
Love you a lot! ***
And he slowly started to calm down as Anjali started to play with Ayan, standing, moving rotationally.
"Ask Shieku to serve breakfast! I will be there in few minutes!"
Smiling at him, nodding her head, she exited the room with Ayan.
Time passed and evening arrived, making the mansion calm as the supreme baby is sleeping blissfully in his preferred warmth.
"Shieku! Where is Ayan? I can't even see Ragini!" he asked as he passed by kitchen to dining table to take a glass of water.
"Ragini ji went out! I saw Ayan baba with Anjali lastly." he said with a smile as he prepared dinner.
- I should have checked her room too! -
Getting no answer for his knocks, he opened the door to have the sight of his little man sleeping happily with a smile in the embrace of the new lady in his home.
Closing the door quietly, he directed his steps towards the kitchen "Ask Ragini to come to my cabin once she is here."
Seeing him nod in reply, he went to his study room.
"I asked you to take care of Ayan! And you are giving your responsibilities to someone else and doing personal works."
"Woo Ayan feels comfortable with her! That's why"
"In that case, you are no more needed here!"
"Chief!"
"Come take your payement next Monday! You may leave now!"
"I will do all you want chief! Please"
"I asked you to leave!" and his concentration went back to his lappy.
And from there on, Ragini exited not only the big house of Suraj Rajvanshi but also his life, his kido's life and from everyone's life.
"Where is Ragini, bhaiya(bro)?" she questioned as they were setting the dinner table for breakfast.
"Don't know! May be she left!" she turned towards the sound of footsteps "He is coming!"
"Let me know if you need something bhaiya!"
And he smiled in reply as she went away from there.
Seeing her standing on her favorite spot, he directed his eyes to her face "Come to my cabin! I need to talk to you!" he said as he finished his breakfast.
"Ji!" she nodded as she got out of her territory seeing him get up.
"You can live in the Rajvanshi mansion, in the room next to where Ragini stayed."
She nodded.
"What are your qualifications? I mean studies!"
- I don't think she studied a lot! -
"Not a lot!" she replied with her eyes watching the painting behind him.
"Do you want to work in house or in office?"
*** Outside world is still dangerous to me! ***
"Here!" she answered without any hesitations.
"In that case, you will be the one to take care of Ayan from now on!"
And immediately a smile appeared and brightened her face.
"You need to take good care of him!"
"Ji!" she replied before he asked her to continue her work.
Days started to pass with Ayan getting more and closer with Anjali and she becoming more of a mother to Ayan than caretaker.
Suraj's who was struggling in his initial stage of handling whole business empire sees his career settle well.
"This company is not reliable!" he put a file on one side as he took another file from the bunch of files in front of him.
- These companies need to make clear copy of what they want and not! -
He is actually going through cotations of companies for his new project.
"Advantages" and he got interrupted by his phone.
"Yeah!"
"Okay!"
"Get everything ready, I will be there!" and he disconnected the call.
"Shieku!" seeing the wanted person "Put these papers on my table. I will be back in 1 hours!"
"Yes chief!" with a smile, holding a big spoon in his hand.
Leaving from there, he directly went to his office.
"I will put it after cleaning my hands!" hearing the cooker sound "Cooker!" Shieku ran back to kitchen.
Closing slowly the door of Ayan's room, she came towards the couch to see papers and files all around.
Curiosity kicked in, making her to check on them.
Seeing the name on the file on the top of the mountain, tears filled her eyes.
With the help of Shieku, a reality check happened making her come out of it as she heard something kiss the floor in the kitchen.
*** This will never be back to us Papa! You hard work! ***
And her eyes landed on the paper where Suraj started to mark his points on those companies, taking it in her hand, she sat there and like a machine made for that work, she started to analyze those cotations one by one.
When she was going to take the last file, a cry made her come out of her work world, making her to leave those papers on the table and ran towards the room.
"Shieku!" a scream echoed in the hall startling everyone on their places.
"I asked you to put them in my room and what were you doing!" with his face reflecting anger from his meeting as his rules of life is to not bring outside matters at home but with all the stress he is going through, it's not easy to manage his policy.
"Leave it! I will do it!" he said as he saw his faithful servant bend to take those elements of his.
"Praaabaaa" the child's voice hit his ears and brought an immediately coolness to his form as Anjali brought Ayan out of his room.
He wanted to put the files in a safe place before doing anything else, so one by one, he started to take those files and stopped his actions as his eyes caught the filled papers on the table.
"This!" he took it in his hand after putting the rest on the table and stood with Sheiku not getting what is that paper while Anjali who is standing behind him went wide eyed as she remembered something.
*** Cotations! ***
