Baby Daddy (Ongoing)

Part 2

Madhu ignored him & ordered him to remove Ruhi's diaper.

"Eewww..." Rk made a face hearing that & passed Ruhi to Madhu. Ruhi hugged her mother tightly & turned her face away from her dad.

"Um... Madhu... I have an urgent call to make regarding today's shoot so will you please continue." Rk made an excuse. Madhu shook her head in a way saying he was hopeless. Then Rk hurriedly scrambled out of the bathroom, while Madhu very patiently removed Ruhi's dirty diaper & cleaned her before immersing her in her bath tub to play in water.

After few minutes, guessing the cleaning work would have been over, Rk poked his head again into the bath to see Ruhi splashing water at her mother & Madhu giggling, played with her kid. He felt so happy to see Madhu giggle & smile at the baby. She was so devoted & every ounce of her happiness was with the child.

"Hey, baby girl" Rk called sweetly & knelt beside her bathtub. Ruhi, stopped playing & stared at her dad amusing, then ignored him & smiled sweetly at her mother. Even Madhu was surprised seeing Ruhi's rather less enthused behaviour.

"Ruhi, baby..." Rk called her sweetly. Ruhi splashed water on his face.

"Ruhi!" Rk tried to take hold of her hand but she got scared with his loud voice & moved close to her momma & clung to her.

Then Madhu took Ruhi off the bathtub & draped her with a towel & walked out of the bathroom leaving a stunned Rk on the floor.

"You are not leaving?" Madhu asked.

"No... I canceled my days shoot. I would like to spend some more time with Ruhi." He said hesitantly.

"Why, Rk? What do you want? Why can't you let us both live in peace?"

"I don't want anything from you, Madhu."

"Then why are you still in my house?"

"Madhu... I don't know what I want or what I am doing... Its just... Its just I couldn't... I want Ruhi, Madhu"

Madhu looked at him wide eyed as she clutched her baby girl close to her chest.

"No! No! I won't give her. Ruhi is my life." She said frantically & took a step backward.

"Please, Rk. I don't have the strength to fight against the mighty you." She pleaded him as tears stung in her eyes.

"Madhu, I promised you that I won't take her away from you. I just said I want Ruhi... I want to be a part of her life." Rk explained but frowned at him in confusion."I know Ruhi needs both her parents..."

"No! She doesn't. Till you showed your face, I was her father & mother & I can be her everything till my last breathe."

"Madhu, I know you can be her everything... but please, don't snatch away my right. I am her father."

"Don't forget, you asked me to abort this child" Madhu reminded him. He lowered his head in shame. Yes, he indeed asked so.

Then Madhu quickly dressed Ruhi in a cotton top & shorts & took her along with her to the kitchen to prepare her food.

"Madhu, give her to me. I will hold her till you prepare her food." Rk asked following them to the kitchen. Madhu reluctantly agreed & tried to pass her to him but Ruhi circled her arms around her momma's neck tightly not letting her go.

"Madhu you put her down, I will pick her up. She won't come to me as long as she is in your arms." Rk said when his daughter refused to go in his hands. Madhu reluctantly settled her down on the floor but Ruhi hid herself behind her momma's legs.
