Gauri~
I was pacing in the living room of home looking towards the main door waiting for my baby. It's been almost a day since I saw him and I miss him terribly.i cannot wait to have my baby in my arms. Rudra said he was on the way to home with Ved.
Rudra came inside the home carrying a sleeping Ved in his arms. Which is an unusual sight because my baby never sleeps this easy. Nevertheless I ran and took my baby in my arms placing kisses on both his cheeks without waking him up.
"I missed my baby." I said as I hugged him to my bosom.
"See, how easily I made him sleep. You have been trying for an year and I had done that in a day." Rudra said proudly making me roll my eyes.
"My baby must have been tired." I said sitting on sofa with my sleeping baby.
"Did he troubled you last night?" I asked, "I mean he usually wakes up in the middle of the night actively."
"Well, I will be honest with this." Rudra said, "Actually he kept crying last night may be he missed you."
"Aww... My baby missed me. I am sorry baby for leaving you last night. " I said hugging him close. "How did you managed? "
"Well, at first I tried to calm him down myself but then... " He said rubbing his neck.
"Then what? " I asked raising my brow.
"I took him to Jaanu aunty, she took care of him all night." He said looking everywhere but me.
"You idiot! If you can't handle tell on my face, you hired a nanny for my kid without any proper background check." I almost yelled ready to pounce on Rudra, if not for Ved stirring in sleep due to commutation.
"Cool down, Di." Rudra had the nerve to say, "Even I won't leave my nephew with some strangers. Jaanu aunty is staying in our resort with her husband, you remember the wedding that was supposed to happen in our resort but got cancelled in last minute."
"Yes."
"Jaanu aunty and Uncle cool are parents of groom, they are staying in our resort for sightseeing, they are very cute old couple just like Mom and Dad, they adore Ved very much and loves him like their own grandkid." Rudra said, " They always helps me with Ved whenever I have doubts. You will love them of you meet them in fact Jaanu aunty looked after Ved the whole night asking me to take rest."
"Oh, I am sorry." I said feeling guilty. "I would like to meet them one day to thank them."
"Sure, you can meet them. They would love to meet you." Rudra said and Ved woke up smiling at me.
"My baby woke up." I said kissing all over his face making him giggle.
He placed a hand on my face and I kissed it too.
"Mumma missed you, My munchkin." I said playing with his fingers.
The rest of the day, I took an off from the office and spent time with my baby.
At night as I place Ved on the bed trying to pay him to sleep as usual my baby was not in a mood to sleep. So, I placed the pillows all around the bed and made him sit in the centre with his toys around him to play. He began to play with them happily smiling and offering me few toys to play with him. I smiled at my baby, he was cute and lovely, full of energy like his father. At the thought of Omkara, I began to think about what all happened in the morning between us.
I couldn't deny it was the best feeling to wake up in the arms of the person you love. Yes, my stupid heart never stopped loving him even after what all has happened. It's like he broke my heart into pieces but yet every single piece loved him with all it's might, even though I love him, I don't have courage to express it because I am scared that again if he breaks my heart I won't be able to live. And I still don't know anything about Omkara. I was deep in thoughts when Ved slowly stood up holding my shoulder. My baby is growing fast, soon he will be running here and there and I know I will have a tough time to run behind him.
"What my baby wants ha? " I asked poking his nose and giggled.
"Maa.. " He called in his baby voice suddenly. My baby called me 'Ma' for the first time! I squealed loudly in happiness kissing him soundly.
"What happened? " Rudra asked breathlessly as he came running into my room.
"My baby called me Maa." I said shedding tears of joy. I always know his first word will be Maa, he's my baby.
"Wow!!" Rudra said coming towards Ved.
"Baby, chalo say Maa once again." I cooed and Ved gave a baby smile showing his teeth and turned away to play with his toys.
"Ved.. Just once more, please." I requested taking him in my arms.
"Come on say, Ma... "
"Mu" Rudra said cutting me off.
"Rudra! Shut up don't confuse my baby." I scolded him.
"What? I am making him call me as well." Rudra defended. "Ved say Mamu." He cooed.
"No, say Mama baby."
"Mamu." Rudra said.
"Mama." I raised my voice.
"Mamu." He said challenging me.
"Ma.. "
"Mu.. "
"Ma.. "
"Mu.. "
And then officially fight began between Rudra and me.
"You idiot, didn't I said not to confuse him." I said hitting him with Ved's soft toy.
"He already called you, it's my turn now." Rudra said throwing Ved's toy truck on me. Which hit me with force, I am sure it left a bruise on my forehead.
"Aaj toh tum gaya mere haath mein." I said and Rudra began to run all around the house while I chased him.
He ran all around the house, Darpok. But I am not gonna leave him without a black eye today.
Finally I caught him in the living room.
"Idiot, you hurt me. See, I got a bruise on my forehead." I shouted hitting Rudra as he was laying on the floor helpless.
"It's you, who started the fight." He said catching and twisting my hand making me wince.
"You started irritating me and then you have a nerve to hit me" I said giving a flat punch on his jaw.
"Ouch!" He winced and began to fight with me.
We both were fighting like street rogues on the floor and I can distinctly hear. Our maid running towards the landline phone.
"Memsaab, Rudra sir and Gauri madam are fighting hitting each other." She said frantically and then came running towards us holding the phone.
"Ru" My mom voice came from the phones loudspeaker making us still. "Ri." She sounded angry.
"He/she started first." We both shouted in unison.
Our chef came running with a laptop on which my Mom and Dad is on skype. He placed the laptop in front of us on the coffee table. We both stopped fighting and sat in front of the laptop like kids, who got caught with their hand in chocolate jar. By now Rudra and my hair is all messed up and dirty with all the fighting and we looked like some street rats.
"Dad, see he hit me." I said pointing towards my forehead which has a thin line of scratch.
"Mom, look she punched on my jaw." Rudra complained showing his jaw which is now red. I smiled proudly.
"Rudra, is this the way you behave with elders. She's elder than you, why did you hit her." My dad scolded Rudra while I smirked looking at him.
"And you Gauri, is this how you look after your baby brother, do you remember you are a Mom and CEO of a company." It's my Mom's turn now. "If you are like this, what will you teach to your kid." She scolded and Rudra closed his mouth with his hand giggling. I glared at him.
"Now both say sorry to each other." My dad said.
"But he.. " I said and my mom glared.
"Fine, Sorry." I said to Rudra.
"Fine. I forgive you." He said smugly.
"Ruu.. " My mom said angrily.
"Fine." He said, "Sorry Di."
"Now, where is my little Ved." My mom asked looking around.
"Hey shankerji... I left him in the room alone." I said and ran towards my room. I am a bad mom, it's all because of that stupid Rudra.
When I reached my room, I breathed in relief as my baby was still busy playing with his toys. I took him in my arms and carried him towards the living room.
"Baby, say hi to Grandma and Grandpa." I said waving his hand. He giggled and smiled looking at laptop screen.
"Aww... Mera baccha, he is growing fast." My mom said.
"Mom, you know today he called me, Maa." I said proudly.
"That's great, didn't I told you to give him time. He will speak." My mom said.
"How's your vacation going Dad? " Rudra asked.
"It's good, Ru. We visited places here and people are very hospitable." My dad said, we spoke for a few minutes and then ended the call.
