chapter 2

I reach Aahan's school for picking him He was doing drawing. I call his name, "Aahan" he looks at me and runs towards me, "mommy." He hugs me. I sat down and hug him back. He kisses on my cheek.

He pushes away from me and says, "mommy, let's go otherwise we get late."

I chuckle, "don't worry, son. We have more time." He good bye to his teacher and his teacher wishes him birthday.

During the driving, he asks me, "mommy we have everything for party?"

"Yeah we checked last night everything you know. We only pick your birthday cake."

He rolls his eyes, "I only want to check." I chuckle. He is small version of his father. His hobbies, his attitude, his style his everything is like his father. He didn't get anything from me. He loves and cares me that is only making him different from his father. I am sure my son will not be emotionless and heartless like his father.

"Mommy, what are you thinking?" He asks and I snap out from my thought. I shake my head with no. He gives me smile. We reach bakery shop and pick his cake.

We reach at our home. I unlock our front door and step inside. We change our clothes and decorate our hall with birthday theme. There are a lot of balloons on wall and a big balloon with lot of candy in middle at fan. We write happy birthday on wall in form of sticker. There are many hanging items on wall and here and there.

Aahan glances at hall and giggles with satisfy. "I love you Mommy. It's amazing."

"I love you too son. Now, go in bedroom and get ready and do your homework. And I am preparing dinner and some starters." I tell him. He nods and goes in our room.

I start to preparing dinner and some dishes for starter. After one hour, I hear the door bell ring. Aahan runs out from bedroom and open the door. He calls, "mom, it's courier man."

I come out from kitchen and sign the courier document paper and thank him. I close the door and glance the courier. I shake my head while Aahan is excited with his gifts which send by his grandmother. There are a lot of gifts with big size.

I help him to put all gifts into our bedroom. When we settle all gifts into room, Aahan asks, "can I open them all? Please mommy." I nodded and he is unwrapping his all gifts. There are a lot of clothes and toys and video games. He is glad and my phone rings. I know who is other side. I pick up call and greet her with smile, "hello mom, you know you will spoil him."

She giggles from other side of call, "don't worry. He will not spoil."

"Really, it's a lot." I tell her.

"Where is my birthday boy?" She changes the subject.

"He is playing with video game. I am giving him the phone." I tell her and give the phone to Aahan.

Aahan greets his grandmother while I go to kitchen for finishing the cooking. After 15 minutes, Aahan comes out with the phone. He gives me the phone and rushes towards room again.

I put my phone on my ear, "yeah mom." While I am doing my work.

"you didn't finish yet?" She asked me with caring tone.

"I am about to finish and you shouldn't send him a lot of gifts."

"It's ok kavya. He is my grandson and I have right to give him what I want." She reminds me, "you know if his great grandmother would be alive, he definitely spoils just like his father."

"Yeah, I know." I bit my cheek with my teeth.

"Sorry kavya. Are you alright?" she apologizes when she realised what she said. I can feel her concern for me.

"It's ok mom. I am fine." I tell her with fake smile. I know she cannot look my smile.

"Hmm. Don't forget to send me pictures and videos." She changes the subject.

"Hmm I will...." The doorbell rings again. "sorry mom, someone is at door. I have to go. Call you later." I take a long breath and thank to God and my guest who saves me from the situation. I don't want to talk about my ex husband and about his life.

"Ok bye and take care yourself and Aahan. Once again tell him happy birthday from me." She greets with excitement.

Ok bye Mom." I cut the call and go towards door.

I open the door and see Sunita bhabhi and Kunal. I hug Sunita bhabhi and give compliment to her. She hugs me back and says thanks. She is fourty years old lady she wears cream and red desinger saree.

As I close the door behind us, Kunal beams, "where is birthday boy?"

I smile and tell him, "he is in bedroom and plays with video game. Go to him and join him."

When Sunita bhabhi gives him apporval looks, he runs to his room.

"All boys are crazy for video games. I chuckle. Sunita bhabhi also chuckles and nodded, "you already arrange everything."

"Yeah, only give them final touch and taste it." I tell her with clapping my hands. "I prepared chole, shahi paneer, rice and Puri, fruit cream, dhokla and katlet. If you want to add anything, I will cook it."

"It's a lot kavya. Go and get ready. I will do the rest." She tells me with assured voice.

"Ok" I have only one hour to start the party. I rush towards room and get ready in 15 minutes. I wear anarkali kurti with legging. I apply some base on my face, eyeliner in eyes and leave my hair loose. I don't have much time. I go to Aahan room and give my phone to Kunal, "call to Aahan's friends."

"Ok, anuty." Tell Kunal. And they are calling to his friends.

I come to hall. Sunita bhabhi arranged all things. I thank to her.

We sit on couch and talk while waiting to Aahan's friends come.

Aahan friends come on time and we cut the cake with singing Happy birthday song. Aahan is glad that's why I am. We take a lot of pics and make video. We serve the cake and starter to his friends. They eat and do dance.

It's 9 pm that's why Aahan's friends go to their homes. I feed him and he sleeps on couch. I don't shift him in bedroom otherwise he would wake up.

Sunita bhabhi and I are waiting for mr. Rakesh (sunita's husband and my boss). Kunal ate his dinner and playing video games.

Mr. Rakesh comes at 10 pm. He is looking so tired.

Sunita bhabhi gives him smile and tells him, "just relax, Rakesh otherwise you

will get ill."

He smiles back and nods, "yeah" I like them because they are cute couple and they understand to each other which I dream. I know I can only dream that type of life. My life was not normal.

My past is nightmare for me. I am happy now. But before my life was disaster. I always wanted a normal married life but it was not. I hope in my next life I will get happy married life like others.

We eat dinner and chat about office and our life. They very well know I don't like to talk about my past that's why they talk very carefully. They share about their life experience while I don't have any experience to share. That's why I listen and laugh. They go to their home at 11:30 pm. I clear my home and pick Aahan in my arms very carefully as he doesn't wake up.

I come to our bedroom and let him lay there. I change my dress in pajama and top and wash my face.

I lay next to Aahan. I greet him happy birthday in his ears. He hugs me with sleeping form. I hug him back and a smile spread my lips. I never imagine my life would be like that. But I am very satisfied with my life and thank to God for giving me a cute gift in the form of Aahan. I close my eyes and sleep.
