Chapter 2 A

The following morning Yash awoke to the smell of a cup of coffee "Aaru my love it is too early let me sleep nah"

Then he felt the sprinkles of water on his face opened his eyes got momentarily confused by his surroundings rubbed his eyes when he did not see his wife "Aaru are you here where are you hiding?" looked around the strange room saw someone hide behind a sofa so he got up to catch the culprit and got surprised when his naughty son Ansh jumped out and sprayed him again with his water gun laughing at his stunned papa "Caught you papa I got you good"

Yash hugged his naughty son and lifted him up to give a morning kissy on his cheeks "yes you caught me champ I so missed your pranks my boy. Where is your mama?"

Ansh whispered in his papa's ear that mama was hiding behind the washroom door looking at them.

"I think I need a shower my boy what about you want papa to shower you today"

"Yes papa I want to play in the shower mama don't like it when I play she always says hurry up"

"Well you can play today as you don't have school today" and Yash walked to the washroom holding his son Aarti came out "Oh no you are not going to make a mess for me to clean young man"

"Mama please I will help clean after I want to play in the water"

"Aaru let him enjoy I will clean up after him, and get him ready for the day." And he ready forward and kissed he

"Yash not in front of our son" and she moved away from Yash and Ansh who was laughing "Papa kissed Mama and made her an angry bird" moved to give his mama a kiss on her cheeks "Now Mama won't be an angry anymore" he smiled

"I am going to help G3 ma prepare breakfast before you two get me involved in your game Yashu have your coffee first before naughty boy gets you in the tub playing with him"

Aarti placed the day's clothes on the bed for both her men and left for the kitchen once there ma greeted her and asked if \she told Yash about her and Prateek

"Not everything ma I left the important things to you" and she began cutting vegetables

G3 "Aarti beta do you think he will understand and accept my past?"

"Ma why won't he it was not your fault you were a victim of circumstance the innocent pawn in evil people mind games just like me"

"I am still worried beta he has his dadaji blood running in his veins after all and he did grow with him. What if he hates me or blame me somehow?"

"Ma don't worry everything will be fine I am here nah to help him understand, and Radha ma is a good woman she never allowed him to hate you while growing up she defended your honour in front of her in laws."

They heard the laughing coming from the bedroom Ansh was having a good time with his papa "They love each other a lot poor boy missed him so much even if it was for only a few days"

"And Yash's condition was no less; I don't know what buaji hopes to achieve by supporting dadaji and dadai ji in their quest to separate me from Yash and marry him to Aparita."

"Beta it is history repeating itself they separated me from Yash's papa took my sons away and re married him to Radha all for money and fame"

"But ma I am not you I will fight for my son and husband, and Yash is not a pushover like bauji to blindly obey them. See he found us and he is here in your house."

"Beta thank god times have changed somewhat you are and educated woman, an accomplish lawyer confident in your love for Yash, and my Yash he is completely in love and devoted to you. You have both mine and Prateek's support; my parents and siblings abandoned me in my time of need they called me an embarrassment a bad omen and never spoke to me again."

"Ma when god closes one door he opens another you found acceptance and love at the orphanage and we found each other there I found my ma and bhayia there."

They heard the running sound of Ansh followed by Yash "Good morning nani ji" said Ansh

"Good morning my naughty beta ready to drink your milkshake"

"Chocolate or strawberry naniji?"

"Chocolate beta"

"Yippee "

"Good morning auntie"

"Good morning Yash beta how did you sleep?"

"Very good ma thanks for asking; ma I hope you don't mind me and my family staying here for a few days until I can buy a house for us"

"Beta there is no need for you to buy a house consider this your home and Prateek and I your own"

"Thanks auntie Aarti told me a little about you but I feel I need to know more and from you I can't explain it but I just feel this strong connection to you"

"Beta sit and have your breakfast then we will talk after"

"Good morning all" said Prateek

"So Lazy bones finally decided to grace us with his presence" said Aarti

"DI I was speaking to Paridhi and if you continue to call me lazy bones I will not cook lunch for you today and I was planning to make your favourite too"

"Okay baby bro I apologise" and she ruffled his hair

Yash observed the interaction of Aarti and Prateek it was clear that they had a loving brother/sister relationship.

"Mamaji please could you make my favourite dish too your food always tastes so yummy"

"Oh hello and my food don't it taste yummy too" Aarti complained

"Oh mummy your food eats tasty too but somehow mamaji food eats different"

"It is the magic in my hands, my love of food and my enjoyment of creating art that is edible"

"Prateek my innocent bhai Paridhi will make you cook all the meals if you continue expressing your love for food like this"

"Paridhi that modern girl does she even know how to boil water, always calling and texting you at all hours, always checking like if you are going on a long space mission and she won't see you for months or years"

"Ma she loves me and that is how she shows her love" replied Prateek

"Love so that is what it is called I call it stalking. A young girl should know her limits she will be here for lunch and dinner today won't she. What do her parents say when she spends so much time here in the home of a young man?"

"Ma they trust her and me Besides they know you are here so we won't get into mischief "

"Mischief is that what they call it now" laugh Aarti

"Young ears are present" smiled Prateek

After breakfast G3 took Yash to her room "sit beta I want to show you something" and she went to her cupboard and took out an album and a box filled with stuff.

"Beta Aarti told you that she met me in the orphanage she grew up in and I became her foster mother'

"Yes ma she did she said that you are a divorcee"

"Yes beta I was married at a very young age of fourteen and my husband was fifteen we are from xxx village my sassur had big dreams of making it rich; our families were wealthy based on villages standard my father and my in laws own large amounts of farm land and livestock my brothers still there and they make a good living plus they have invested in different factories in the area just like my in laws. My husband is the only son and he has a younger sister whom he loves a lot; she unlike me was allowed to complete her education she did home studies in college and received a good marriage proposal but unfortunately her marriage lasted only a few months her husband died when she was barely twenty and her in laws started giving her problems so my sassur took her back home, he loves his children very much. By then I had given birth to two sons my eldest six years old a baby a few months old. My life was not easy I was the cook and housekeeper for the family although we had two servants my in laws demanded that I do the work because that it what a good wife and bahu dose.

I never complained my husband spent a lot of his time during our marriage either studying or working with his father establishing the business or taking care of the farming business back in the village. So I had lot of time with my saas she is a mean woman set in her ways and her daughter is very much like her.

When my second son was four years old and my eldest was ten my sassur came to me with documents and told me to sign them and leave the house; that I was no longer needed there that I had done my part of giving birth to two sons heirs to the family. I looked to my husband for help to explain to me what was happening but he just stood there and told me to do what his bauji wanted and leave. I asked what have I done and both my saas and sister in law shouted at me they said abusive things to me, beat me up, held my had forced me to sign on the paper then they dragged me out of the house and threw a bundle with my clothes at me and shouted for me to leave their house I began to cry shouting to give me my sons but they never did. I spent the first night there at their gates crying for my sons the eldest was sent to boarding school without my knowledge and the youngest was allowed to spend the night at the home of a friend so I did not see my baby. My former in laws made sure that I was removed from their gates so I wondered the streets spent another night homeless until I came to the orphanage where I met a kind watchman who took pity on me and introduced me to the matron of the establishment and she give me a job and a place to live.

I was a few weeks pregnant with Prateek so that is how he grew up with me. Then almost three years later I met the five-year-old Aarti in the same orphanage it was love at first sight I became her ma and she my daughter. I always had a love to sew and design so I did that first part time and worked full time as a cleaner in the orphanage, they as more persons became aware of my skills I sew full time with the help of the girls in the orphanage the money we made was given as charity to the orphanage. Then one day after Aarti got her scholarship for college I met a wealthy business man who offered to invest in a store for me and hire more workers; he said that his wife saw my clothing and was very much impressed. From there my cliental increased I have two designers both from the same orphanage that Aarti and I lived at whom we sent on scholarship to learn fashion design now we sell to various boutiques that is how I could afford to buy this house. Prateek is the manager of our small company and Aarti bahu handles all the legal stuff."

"Ma did you ever try to contact your sons"

"Beta my ex-husband got married to a friend of his sister they were at collage together she is an accountant her father is a wealthy business man and he give a large dowry upon their marriage and also invested in my ex family business they have two children a boy and a girl. My ex husband's second wife works from home and she has learnt to ignore her in laws they don't taunt her as much as they used to taunt me because she contributed to their wealthy lifestyle, and I here that she is a good cook and mother to my sons.'

Yash felt butterflies in his stomach her past is similar to his could this kind looking lady be his ma he wanted to know more. "Ma the album my I see it?'

"Sure beta"

With cold trembling hands he took the album and opened it there were pictures of a young G3 holding baby Prateek, young Prateek, Aarti as he turned the pages there were pictures of him and Pankaj bhayia as a baby and then as boys through to adulthood. Yash had tears pouring from his eyes so did G3 "Ma you are my ma I finally found you"

"Yes beta I am your ma" and she held him close and they both cried

"Pankaj bhayia will be so happy to meet you after all these years. Ma I am never leaving you again" and he continued crying like a baby in his ma's arms she to was crying holding her Yash baby.

Prateek and Aarti stood at the slightly opened door and they too were crying a mother reunion with her son she lost so many years ago.
