Chapter 1
6 months later
There should be a sense of relief that should come from being divorced, right? But Geet couldn’t feel that. She felt her heart crack multiple times as her divorce finalised.
Her dad was right all this time.
Rahul was not good for her. But she hadn’t listened.
She had listened to her heart. The same heart that soared whenever he was near. The same heart that was consumed and overwhelmed with love for him.
Her heart was wrong.
But she couldn’t mope around and cry anymore. She had no more tears left for the cheating husband of hers. She was going to be moving on. Moving forward with her daughter.
“Is this it, mama?” Nyra asked with widened doe shaped eyes.
Geet looked down at her daughter and smiled. “Yep, baby girl” she nodded and looked at the view in front of her. “Our new home”.
She glanced over her shoulder at the sounds of a truck and cars. “Looks like everyone is here” she muttered.
“Nana!” Nyra released Geet’s hand trotting down the porch steps and running towards Viraj as he climbed out of the car.
Viraj chuckled lifting her up in his arms and smiled broadly.
“Dis my new home” Nyra pointed excitedly.
“I can see that” he beamed nodding his head.
“You’re nodding your head like a bobble head dad” Yash chuckled grabbing a box from the truck and lifted it. “What the fu… fudge is in here?” he winced plastering a smile at Nyra.
“What does it say on the box?” Payal asked peering on the side. “Oh, it’s the dinner set”.
“Be careful with that!” Geet yelled from the porch.
“Shut up!” Yash scowled as he walked across with the box and entered after she opened the door for them.
Megha walked inside glancing around. “Geet, this is really nice” she praised.
“Thanks, mama” Geet grinned widely. The property was nice. It was on a quiet street, 3 bedrooms with ensuite and a spare bathroom downstairs. A living room and an open space kitchen which would allow her to cook up food and be able to watch her daughter at the same time. Large patio doors which led to the backyard where she could let her daughter go out to play and not worry about going missing as it was fenced all around.
Megha rolled her eyes hearing the commotion of her family as they trundled inside with the boxes and nattered on about anything and everything.
“I hep mama” Nyra asked hopefully.
“Hmm, let’s go get a box” she agreed nodding her head and stepped out heading towards the truck and looked for a light weight box. She found the cushions and pulled a cushion out and held out for Nyra. “Can you carry this for me?”
“Yeah, mama” she grinned stretching out her tiny hands.
Geet placed the cushion into her hands and gestured her to head on towards the door as she lifted the box and followed behind.
“I do it mama” Nyra cheerfully told her. She stopped at the bottom of the porch steps. “Mama, hep” she pouted her lips clutching the cushion to her tiny chest and tried finding the step.
“Gotcha” Varun swiftly swung her up making Nyra squeal delightfully and laugh.
“Gen! Vawun”
“Uncle” Geet corrected.
“Vawun uncle” Nyra echoed. “Gen! Gen”.
Geet shook her head and walked inside placing the box down. She rummaged through and found the box which had the kitchen appliances in and pulled them out.
“Who wants tea or coffee?”
An echo of me vibrated through the open space.
The next couple of hours was spent with the Singhania clan helping Geet and Nyra settle into their home. Viraj, Varun and Yash put fixed the bed in the main bedroom and the little bed for Nyra in her room. Megha, Mansi and Payal helped Geet unpacked the clothes and hang them in the fitted wardrobes which were already there and ready to be used.
“The sofa, table, chairs and pretty much all of the big stuff is coming tomorrow” Varun informed Geet as they sat on the living room floor eating pizza together.
“Hmm, who can come help to put the table together?” Geet asked.
“I’ll drop by after work with bhai” Yash informed. Varun nodded in agreement.
“Don’t try doing it yourself” Viraj added sternly.
“Yes, got it” she replied smiling in his direction.
Geet smiled watching as everyone embracing Nyra. Megha had even teared up and peppered kisses all over Nyra’s face.
“Nani” Nyra giggled.
“Mama, we’re only 20 minutes away” Geet chuckled.
“Shut up. Why couldn’t you just stay with us for a little bit longer?” Megha complained hugging Nyra to her.
“Because there isn't enough space” she reminded.
“Why don’t you return with Nyra?” Megha suggested. “I’ll send those two packing off to Varun’s” she pointed to Mansi and Payal.
“Mama!” Payal and Mansi yelled simultaneously.
“She’s joking” Viraj laughed. “Megha, come on. We need to get going” he waved his wife over.
Megha reluctantly released Nyra from her arms and pouted at Geet. “Take care of yourself” she told her embracing Geet and pressed a kiss to her cheeks. “Call me anytime, ok?”
“Ok, mama. I can handle it” she laughed.
Megha sighed and nodded. “Ok, fine. I’ll be here tomorrow as well to check in on you”.
“Don’t come early, Nyra and I are going to be sleeping in” she told her.
Megha agreed and gave them both another hug before she followed behind her husband to the car. Mansi and Payal crouched giving Nyra a quick hug and kissed Geet’s cheeks.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Nemo” Varun told Nyra brushing his fingers through her curls.
“Its Nywa, vawun” she corrected.
“Uncle” Geet pointed out.
“Uncle” she copied.
“Ok, nemo” Varun smirked.
“Nywa!”
“Leave before I kick you down those steps” Geet nudged him. “You’re riling her up now and I’m going to be dealing with her tantrums”.
“Alright, alright. See you tomorrow, princess” he chuckled squeezing her cheeks.
“You bwing chocolate” Nyra smiled sheepishly.
“You bet” he nodded kissing her cheeks.
“Call us if you need anything” Yash told Geet hugging her and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
“I will” she smiled watching as he crouched down to Nyra’s level and held up his hands for a high five then a hug followed by a tug of each other’s nose. One that had become a traditional bye between Yash and Nyra.
Geet clasped Nyra’s hand waving at her family as they drove away.
“Mama” Nyra looked up at her mother after they were all gone.
“Yeah, baby?”
“I miss dem”.
“Oh, baby I do too” she nodded. “Shall we go inside and give you a bath? You can take your princess and cars in the bath”.
Nyra grinned nodding her head eagerly and bounced on her toes following Geet inside.
