The Mistake

Memory Lane

Aadhya's POV

After ending the meeting I went to my office. I grabbed my purse, phone and my car keys. I rushed to my private elevator and went to underground car parking. After Rahul told me that the kids' teacher wanted to meet me I was so tensed why did the teacher want to meet me?

I drove my car to the school not caring if my bodyguards were following me or not.

In 20 minutes I reached the school. I handed my car keys to one of my bodyguards, they were following me!.

I entered the building and went to reception.

“Good afternoon Ma’am how can I help you?” The receptionist asked me with a smile on her lips.

“I am here to meet Ms. Priya Ahuja?” I informed

“Ma’am wait a second let me check if she is free or not.” She said

She called someone on the intercom

“Ma’am someone is here to meet you.”

.......

“Ma’am, your name?” She asked me

“Aadhya Sharma” I replied

A lot of people don’t know me. Because I keep my identity secret. I don’t want people to disturb my personal daily life.

“Ma’am, Ms Aadhya Sharma.” She replied to the phone

........

“Okay, ma’am I will send her.” She replied. And ended the call

“Ma’am Priya ma’am is in the playground with the students but she has invited you there.” She said to me and I nodded in response

“Let him show you the way.” She said pointing towards the peon

I signalled him to show the way and thanked the receptionist.

We reached the playground and I thanked the peon.

I walked towards the teacher of Aahana and Aahan.

“Good afternoon Ms. Sharma. I didn’t expected you to come this faster.” She said with a warm genuine smile and bring her hand forward to shake

“Good afternoon Ms Priya and what can I say, when my secretary told me about your call I got so tensed. You know very well I can leave any work for both my babies.” I said

She smiled knowingly and nodded

“Yess ma’am I know it well. You are a great mom.” She replied and looked at the children playing on swings, laughing and talking.

I spotted Aahana she was sitting alone under the shade of a tree while her brother was looking at her from time to time while playing with his friends.

What was wrong with Aahana? Why was she sitting alone? And why was she sad?

I looked at Ms Priya confusedly to get the answers

“She is quite sad from the past three days. I tried to talk to her but she didn’t tell me her problem. I tried talking to her friends but nobody knew the reason behind her sadness.” She said and sighed

I was feeling a pain in my heart. My baby was sad for 3 days and I didn’t even knew about it. I am a bad mom. I can’t even take care of my babies.

“Yesterday in the drawing class I told the students to draw whatever they want, their emotions, anything but what Aahana drew shocked me Ms. Aadhya. Wait I will show you her drawing it's in the classroom. Let me bring it.” She said and went away after telling another teacher to keep looking at all the children.
