Baby Daddy (Ongoing)

Part 21

"Ruhi, my darling, I made your favorite chocolate sandwich." Rk said sweetly sitting next to Madhu who had Ruhi on her lap. Ruhi just turned her face other way. Rk sighed.

"Ruhi, look at momma. You are a good girl nah?" Madhu asked. Ruhi didn't reply but just clung to her momma.

"Papa said sorry nah? Now forgive him and play with him." Madhu took Ruhi off her lap and was about to place her on Rk but she started screaming and kicking in protest.

"Mama, nah! Nah..." She cried.

"You are such a cry baby, Ruhi." Madhu said irately and tried to stop her kicking Rk.

"Okay okay. I am not touching you." Rk said to stop her piercing cry and he moved away and sat down on the chair on the table next to them. Rk held his down defeated. Madhu looked back at him and gave him a small smile which he returned, then she went back to feed the chocolate sandwich to Ruhi which Rk specially made for her.

"Why are you doing this, Ruhi? Why you are not letting Papa come near you?" Madhu asked softly.

"Oh... Papa... Bad... Mama..." Ruhi said, her little lips bursting out in a cute pout.

"He is not bad, baby. He just hit the bad guy who shouted at you."

"Nah... Papa ... Papa will hit me."

"Papa won't hit you, darling. You are his angel nah? Then how will he will hit you? Papa, loves you, sweetie." Madhu kissed Ruhi's temple and brushed her hair.

"Nah, mama... nah nah..." Ruhi screamed and angrily pushed the sandwich plate.

"Ruhi!" Madhu admonished her. She didn't want to see this much anger in her little girl at this young age. Ruhi looked at her mama and slowly started weeping.

"Here, goes your water tap leaking" Madhu sighed and wiped Ruhi's teary cheeks. "Stop crying, now." Madhu ordered. For the past three days she was so cranky and crying. Even she was restless in her sleep. She wanted her daddy but scared to go near him.

"Mama..." Ruhi cried more burying her little face on her bosom.

"Okay, I am sorry. Stop crying now." Madhu rocked Ruhi placing her head on her shoulder.

Ruhi quieted down shortly and just stared at her daddy who was sitting behind them.

"Zoommm" a small girl skated on the floor and she was about to skid down and fall but Rk held her back and supported her preventing her fall.

"Careful little lady." Rk steadied her and tweaked her nose. Ruhi watched this interaction with a cute little frown.

"Merci" the little girl said.

"You alone here?" Rk asked as he looked around for that girl's parents.

"Am here with ma mom. She is standing there in the queue to get her cappuccino." she spoke with a heavy french accent.

"You don't want anything to eat?"

"I don't drink coffee, uncle." She replied.

"But we do have chocolates, pastries, sandwiches & ice cream here." Rk said enthusiastically.

"Wow... really?"

"Yes, sweetie." Rk ruffled the girl's hair. Ruhi got pissed and tightened her hands around her momma's neck. Madhu glanced back to see Rk cooing with a little girl and understood the reason for the sudden change in Ruhi.
