Chapter One - New Responsibility
Part 1
"Is there any problem in taking care of my son Atharva?" he asked me after appointing me as his personal assistant…
I instantly replied, "no, there is no problem in taking care of your son, but" he interrupted me, "but... what?" he asked me.
I was afraid to answer him "how-old-is-your-son?"
He answered back saying his son is hardly one month old… color of my face changed to colorful to dull because at this tender age of a new born mostly needed a mother care not a governor.
"Is there any problem?" he asked
I simply nodded my head before leaving his cabin toward the bus stand when he said "Ms. Shukla, give me few minute to wrap up my work than we can leave together toward my place so you can meet my son Atharva."
I simple nodded my head even though I was feeling hungry at the moment. Fifty minute later, we arrived at Walia mansion. His mansion was bigger than her apartment. He began to introduce his family - "this is Aditya my friend and my brother-in-law" I greeted him with a simple namaste, "this is my sister Jigyasa" I greeted her with a same namaste, "this is my Dadi and Aditya's mother" I touched her feet after greeting her with a simple namaste. And he introduces me to his family by saying "Dearest family member of Walia Mansion meet Bani Shukla - Atharva's governor and my personal assistant."
I watched Mr. Walia shout for someone name Tony, he came down the stair with baby in his arms. He looked so cute and the moment I held him in my arms… it felt like I was holding my own child in my arms for the first time.
"What's the matter, Ms. Shukla?" he asked me
"Nothing… it felt like, I was holding my own baby" I told him after bending my head down
"What do you mean?" his Dadi asked me
"Actually, Ma'am" she interrupted me "don't call me Ma'am but call me Dadi"
I was touched by her words and said "Dadi, I'm one month pregnant"
Mr. Walia stared at me… looked down toward the ground while Atharva fell asleep in my arms.
"One… month… pregnant" he asked me
"I'm sorry but I lied in the interview because I needed this job badly to pay the rents of my apartment and send money back to my husband's village for his family." I told him after lowering my head again
His Dadi asked me a question which brought tears in my eyes…
"What's the matter my child? Did I say something wrong?" Dadi asked me, with concern in her voice
"Nahin Dadi! Actually my husband died in a terrible plane crash and my family passed away in a terrible bomb blast accrued few months ago" I took a deep breathe before wiping my tears.
"I'm sorry, to hear about your sudden lost Ms. Shukla and if there isn't any problem I would like you to stay here in Walia mansion so it will be easier for you to take care of Atharva" he asked me.
I wasn't sure what to say but I agreed to live with them because it will be easier for me in this condition instead of running back and forth.
Few minute later, I had a proper meal with Walia family and Dadi is so caring. And making sure what I eat. I was touch by their care for me, but I do miss Daksh badly, after all he was the only family I had after loosing my parents and my two sisters.
