Chaper 2
It was pooja season all over India, but there was this person driving through the busy streets of New Delhi and he was none other than Raman Kumar Bhalla. After stopping at numerous traffic signals, he managed to reach his pent house and was thinking about how to handle the ruckus at his home. He rang the door bell only to be received by his mother. The looks on her face gave away everything there was a hint of smile, sadness and satisfaction. He responded her with a smile and walked in further and entered their room.
It was not anything new to him. He saw them standing hands folded across their chest and with a pout. Those eyes could drown him every time he looks in to them. He could only smile looking at that pout and before that pout could turn in to a cry, kneeled further down in front of them and had his fingers catching his ears, pleading them to forgive them. Both looked at each other and then smiled after a couple of minutes. They were his life, his son and daughter Aarav and Aadhya.
A&A : You are late today
Raman: sorry my babies. I got late somewhere. What did my babies do today without me?
A&A : we woke up late , troubled dadi and dadu, fought, slept and waited for papa and mama.
Raman: Now that am here, there is no need to wait for me. Quickly give me kisses and let's go out. In his thoughts I hope you were here ...
A&A : ok papa but mama and they turned sad.
Raman: he couldn't vent out his anger on those innocent souls all he could do was coax them to get ready.
Before the trio could head out, Raman was sitting next to his mother, his head on her shoulders and tears streaming down his eyes. What do I answer these innocent kids everyday ? I am not even able to take her name at home as the kids immediately respond. Why is God punishing us ma. It has been months already. Does she feel we do not need her ? Leave me ma they are 1 and half years, what about their plight. She gave them all the love and even her life.
Toshi: I miss her Raman, I want to stay strong for those kids. You wanted me to remove every single picture of hers from this house for the sake of kids and I have done it. I can only see her photo before I go to sleep. Everyone of us have changed after that one mishap. But puttar, I feel something good is going to happen. God may or may not answer our prayers but I am sure he will answer the prayers of your innocent kids who are yearning for their mother. Raman please stay with them when they wake up. They look up to you as their mother and father.
Raman: I even doubt he is answering their prayers. Look at their eyes ma and when they enter my room, they always keep searching for her. I miss her ma, I love her and he tries wiping his tears as he sees the kids coming towards the hall.
His phone starts to ring all of a sudden and he picked up the call with shivering hands. Hello, Raman Bhalla, I am coming right away. Please take care. Ma I am going there right away, looks like some good news for us and please handle the kids. While he was about to leave
Aadhya: papa, leaving us
Raman: He spooned both of them on his hands, papa has a surprise for the two of you. For surprise I need to go out ? I will take you there once was everything is set ?
Aarav: no need, you stay with us.
Raman: Aarav listen to me. I will be back soon, to pick you both. The kids knew, if their father used their name he was upset. They just nodded with a grim face , wriggled out of him and ran towards their dadu and hugged him. Ma ,papa I am sorry but take care of them. They both obliged.
