Chapter 17: "Mummy...!!!"

In Vastav's Villa.

"Grandma Grandpa I guess brother is upset...Is it because of me?", Diya speaks up with a pitiful voice.

"Don't bother about that Idiot he just got a bunch of scoldings from us for not getting married like Anan...So he just walked upstairs to escape the answer.", Lilly spoke.

Diya was shocked beyond words...'ANAN WAS MARRIED? WHEN DID THIS happen?' were the only words playing in her mind.

"An...Anan got married? Is it because his family forced him? They said they will die if he will not marry her?", Diya spoke in shock.

"What nonsense are you thinking in that brain of yours? They both married because they love each other.", Mukesh Vastav spoke.

"But he just returned how did he fell in lov.."

"Diya Shut that mouth of yours.", Kyra stopped her daughter to speak further.

"Maa...Dad, I'm sorry I didn't educate her properly.", Kyra continued.

"No worries. she's still a child.", Henna spoke up as she walked towards them.

"What happened to your hand? Are you okay?", Lilly immediately walked towards henna as she saw her bandaged hand.

"Nothing soup just fell. I'm fine maa.", Henna spoke up as she was implying lilly to not worry.

Upstairs.

"By the way did you find her?", The voice from other end spoke.

"The girl from that night?", Karan furrowed his brows.

"Yes, the girl from that night...5 years back.", The other end spoke.

"No uncle, she escaped and I couldn't find her...", Karan sentence stopped.

"...Do you think I can find her? I don't even remember her face from that night...", Karan continued as he hesitated.

"Karan it wasn't your fault...As long as you don't lose your hope you can find her.", The other end spoke.

"Hmm. Then let's call it a day. Good night uncle.", Karan spoke.

"hmm...take care.", the other hung up the call.

Karan opened his glass door as he walked out...feeling the cold breeze on his face he slightly closed his eyes...

'Let go...I don't know you...please...I beg you...please...let me ahhh...' her words her cry replayed. his left eye couldn't help but drop a tear.

Mishra Mansion.

A cab stops in front of the Mishra Mansion. The gatekeeper walks towards walks over the car. A cute boy face shows up and he pulls down the window glass of the car.

"What do I have to do to enter the villa?", A five-year-old boy's deepened voice startled the gatekeeper.

"Can I know the purpose of your visit?", The gatekeeper spoke with the utmost respect.

"I came here to find my mom.", the little one spoke.

The gatekeeper quickly walked back as he dialled a number.

"Sir...A little boy claims that his mother is inside...Should I let him in?", The gatekeeper spoke as he shivered inside.

"Is he with anyone?", Bala spoke.

"No...Sir...He's alone.", The gatekeeper replied.

"Let him in.", Bala spoke as he walked towards the entrance.

The little boy walked out of the cab and entered the mansion as guards accompanied him.

He stopped in front of the mansion and examined it for a while.

"Hello, little one...Can I know the name of your mom?", Bala spoke as he walked towards him.

"Greetings, I'm here for my mom...her name is Aditi.", The boy spoke in his deepened voice.

"What? Give me a second.", He quickly walked inside as he saw Anan and Elder Mishra in hall seated.

"Chairman...A little boy walked in and claiming Ms Aditi is her mom.", Bala spoke. The moment he spoke the hall was filled with cold chills. Anan furrowed as he heard Bala.

"Let him in.", Anan spoke in his deepened voice.

Bala quickly went out and pulled the boy in.

Seeing everyone's expression the boy's lips turned up.

"Hello everyone. I'm Aarav. I'm 5 this year and here for my mom.", The boy greeted with no nervousness in his voice.

"What tricks are you playing little one. Aditi doesn't have a baby. What game are you playing here?", Elder Mishra spoke. His eyes also sparkled as he saw the little boy's aura.

"I'm not that free, Older one. I'm here for my mom. Let me see her...ahh...before can I know who's the one that married my mom?", He examined the room.

Anan and Elder Mishra were startled listening to this little boy powerful words. He was neither worried nor afraid.

"Aren't you asking an unreasonable question?", Anan spoke as he sipped his green tea which was brought by Rishi.

Rishi quickly bend towards him and spoke something in his ears. Anan lips turned upwards as he stared at the little one.

"Oh, it's you then. Thank god she picked a handsome daddy...and I'm okay to tell people that I'm your son.", The little one spoke.

"You are also handsome too...I'm okay with introducing you as my son too.", Anan spoke as he stared at the little one.

The little one who didn't expect this answer was flustered hearing the answer.

Elder Mishra who was watching the show was a bit confused and shocked too.

"Who's the son? Who is the father? What's the conversation just now?", Suhani spoke as she walked downstairs.

"Who is this boy?", Suhani asked Elder Mishra as seated beside him.

"Where is Aditi?", Elder Mishra spoke with a low voice seeing Anan and The little one staring at each other.

"She's coming with Meera? Old man you still didn't answer my question. Who's this guy?", Suhani spoke in a low voice too.

"He claims that he's Aditi's son and Anan seem to acknowledge him as his son if I'm not wrong.", that is the only answer he could get after hearing the conversation between his grandchild and soon-to-be his great-grandchild.

"What?", Suhani shouted with her pitch voice.

"Low down your voice. Even if you are a world-renowned singer. Do you really think it's time for you to show your vocals.", Elder Mishra spoke.

"Old man don't irritate me. Quickly tell me why this little one and Anan are staring each other like that.", Suhani spoke in an irritated voice.

"This...I'm not sure too.", Elder Mishra replied.

Before Suhani could open her mouth and say something...

"Sunny...?", Aditi's voice was heard from behind.

"Mummy...", The little one ignored Anan and quickly ran towards Aditi.

Aditi hugged the little one who was about to fell. He quickly tightened his hands around her neck and Aditi couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

The entire mansion was startled except Anan and Rishi as if they were seeing things.

"Damn...they look alike.", A servant whispered.
