The night took over but since we had taken the late lunch so none of us was hungry so I ordered the two glasses of milk for my two angels as now they need very 'very much calcium and energy.After they had their milk,I gave Nupur her medicines and made her laid on her bed.She called my angel who was working something on her drawing book and made her lay on her bed.Soon my angel slept getting the warmth of her mother.I whispered to her,"Does she slept'".She replied me in the same whisper,"Yes..!! and I think you should also go to home and relax'you are also quite tired'"
"No Nupur what if you needed something I have to there na'no I am not going'".
"Are going to be here with me whole night'".I nodded her head and she passed me her sweet smile.I asked her still whispering as Nupur told me Shriya has a weak sleep she woke up with a little noise also,"Can I see those drawing books.."
"Ofcourse Mayank you have full right on it..". I just replied a thanks and went to the table where her bag was lying down,I was so excited to see her drawings.I opened her bag took out her book and opened the first page.She has drawn her mother sketch somewhat looking like her ,I turned the page she made another drawing describing a park,no doubt my daughter was a great artist.I switched to third drawing which actually made me very emotional,it was family potrait.
It has a mother , a daughter and father , I was so overwhelemd by seeing it and besides that drawing she has also written it "I MISS YOU DADDA".
Silent tears broke into my eyes,my daughter need s me at every stage she was longing of my love and here I was just so unaware of her presence in this world,an anger rushed in my veins I wish Dhruv to be alive I would have killed him with my own hands made him pay to all those treatment he has done with my daughter and my love.My sweetheart was missing me badly was calling me and I was so deaf that I couldn't able to hear her plea she was my blood and I was so unknown of her presence her birth in this world.I turned up the page then saw she had made a man's face and pointed out as "DADDA".
I felt so guilty for not with my daughter when she needs to me to the most but also felt astound that in drawing she used to call me ,she somewhere is not angry from me it's just that I am a stranger an unknown person for her now and being so much tortured my that devil in my presence she must not be feeling comfortable .I internally made promised to myself that I'll bring my daughter in my life,I will shower her with fatherly of which she was excavated from these three years.
Nupur's P.O.V.
Mayank asked me that he wanted to see her drawing and I allowed him afterall it's his full right she is his daughter,I was making Shriya sleep caressing her back slowly I heard her taking deep breaths ,she was fall asleep.My eyes fall down on Mayank he was looking to her's drawing book and I could easily understood with which mixed of emotions he was going to.When his reaction changes from amazed to emotional I could guess he was watching that sketch where Shriya has written I miss You Dada,after every one or two sketched she used to draw his sketch and then write it "Dada Please come'",she really misses him but she never tells me that whether she loves him or not,infact when she could able to understand that I am her Mom she asked about her father I just said that I person with whom we are living is not her Dad ,he is somewhere but also assures her that one day her Dada will come.Dhruv was a devil, a heartless person,because of him my daughter is so much afraid to talk to any stranger even she is afraid of her own father,but I know she will soon love him may be more than me all what we all three need is time.
Somewhere I don't know whether I should be angry from him for not searching me for all these four years or should love him that he still loves me the way he does four years back,he didn't left me ,he didn't moved on his life!! I don't know I am so muc in delimma,my heart and mind are both conflicting and making me more and more in confusion,sighing I left everything on time atleast it's time that we could able to meet,so it's time only will decide where this relation ours will took place.
I saw him coming towards me wiping his tears,he thought I won't be able to noticed it,but I knew him far more than he knew himself.I straighten myself not giving me any glint or hint of my thoughts.
Mayank's P.O.V.
I closed the book and put it in her bag and wiped my tears I just do not want to show my tears to her and put any type on stress on Nupur.Iwalked towards her sat besides her bed,"Nupur I think you are very tired you should take some rest now."
Nupur:"No Mayank I don't feel sleepy right now'.Please'"
"okay as you wish but please don't stress yourself much okay'".She nodded her head in affermation , I wish to kiss on cheek she was looking so adorable but I control my urges as I don't want to put any type of pressure on her,"so..tell me something what was my sweetheart was saying in your ears '".
She gave thoughfull look to me as if recollecting and then continued,"Well firstly she said me that you were sitting beside me when woke up ,just looking to me nothing doing,". I was so amazed,"That's why after that you didn't looked with your fury gaze..okay and then..".She continued,"then other time she asked about you..?like who are you'".
"And what did you reply..!!!"
"I replied that you are her father,her DADA..for whom she was waiting for past 3 and half years'.".
I was little bit surprised,"You told her that I am her father'you didn't lied to her'.but why Nupur.."
"Because you are her father Mayank and I have no such guilt in my that she is your daughter and why should I say lie to our daughter,you are her father and this is the ultimate truth that no one change and why should I keep you away from your daughter'".
I smiled a bit to her,"You know Nupur..your are my angel'my most loving angel and I just wanna thank you for giving me another sweet angel like you'.I love you Nupur..I love so much and so as our daughter'I promise I'll bring her back to normal life' . I promise to take care both of you'whole my life..".She gave her a satisfactory smile to me which was enough for me that she agreed with me.
"Okay but tell me one thing she asked something from you when you said no to her what did she asked.."
She hesitate a bit but than said,"She asked me are you also like the bad Uncle'But I sad no..you are not like him'".
Somewhere listening this my heart ached that how much effect Dhruv has on my daughter that she is even scared of me ,Nupur her hand on mine and assures me that everything would be fine soon.
After sometime silence prevailed between us Nupur don't want to open up so easily and fastly and I was willing agree to give her ample of time.Soon she slept due to the effect of the high dose. I was sitting besides her kept staring for a long time,may be due to the tiredness or the whole day of exhaust sleep took toll over me.
