8. Meeting with my grandparents.

Karishma ( POV )

( I have special news for you) Came the first news when I woke up. As I waited for titli to speak she gave me the worst news ever ( For a special mission I have to enter a story. So from now on you're on your own. )

' But you were supposed to help me. How am I going to manage anything without you? ' I asked her. ( I am sure you can manage and your helper is coming soon. You will not need me. )

' will you meet with me? ' ( I will try my best. ) ' Have a safe trip ( Have a good life ). I got a mild headache and then everything was silent. My lady left me and now I have to face everything myself. All alone...what will I do ?

My room is dark , it's so peaceful but I can't sleep. I have too many mouths to feed and for that I have to work hard. Not just for them but for myself too. It's 4 o'clock already.

I changed into comfy dress and was about to go out when I heard a knock at the door. " Kismis are you up ? " Came Sam's voice. " Come in " I called him and he walked in the room.

" You're up ..good your grandfather and grandmother is here. Come with me. " he said and I am nervous now. How will I manage everything? How will I deal with them ? I have no experience.

" Samrat I am so nervous. What will I do now? How will I show them my face ? " I asked him. " Relax , take a deep breath, everything is going to be alright. I am here with you. I am sure they will forgive you. " Said samrat and well that made a relax a little.

We walked out together. In the hall I could see a couple sitting together. The man is not that old looking, probably in his sixties and that woman in sari is more stunning. And here I am a total mess.

As I walked in that room and sat in the sofa opposite to them , sam sat next to me. I couldn't even look up and face them. I know it wasn't me still I feel so bad.

" Samrat told us about what happened. We are really sorry for you dear. " Said grandmother in a sympathetic tone. She is a sweet looking granny, just like the one I used to have as mine.

" What sorry ? She did it to herself. We tried to stop her several times but she didn't listen us..." Said Grandfather in a little angry tone.

" Fredrick we talked about it. Our girl made a mistake, let's forgive her. " Said grandmother to my grandfather. And I am so glad that she is on my side.

My grandfather Fredrick and my grandmother is fanny . They meet on a book fair and fell in love. They married and had a great family together. A classic example of true love.

" Grandma , it's okay. Grandfather can scold me for my mistakes. " I told her and she smiled. " I am so sorry grandpa, please forgive me. I was blind, but from now on I will only listen to grandma and grandpa. " I told them , I know it's not enough but I should try.

" Finally.... You're back to your senses. Well , we will forgive you. " Said Grandfather and I already feel good. Hope titli was here to see but she left.

" Grandfather and grandmother please come ...I will show you my kids. " I told them and they nodded. I took them in my quadrants room Frist. And the common surprised reaction.

" Stupid man , careless man... leaving such cute babies behind. " Muttered my grandfather in silence. " They're adorable, I need to make blankets as soon as possible." Said my grandmother.

" Come meet with my elder

daughters. " I took them in April and junes room. They were sitting on the floor making some project for school. I knocked their door and went inside.

" April...June ...see great grandpa and grandma is here. " I told them opening the door. My girls looked up with a shy Smile. My grandparents soon became friendly with them.

They talked together, my grandfather helped them colour their pictures. I made some dishes in the kitchen for them. I am not a great cook but I made something for them. Sam helped me cook and serve.

After lunch we sat in the hall to talk. My grandfather said " If you need anything, call us. " Wait he is thinking to leave...he too. How will I manage everything alone ?

" Please don't go. I need you. I don't know what I am doing. Yesterday I got so fed up of kids crying that I hid under the bed . I don't know how to feel anything. I am such a bad mother. " I told and again I couldn't stop my tears.

I am soo emotional nowadays. I really don't know how to start everything, how to make everything alright. I don't know anything.

" Don't cry dear....I understand. It's not your fault....granny will be here to help you with everything. You're not alone dear. " Said my grandmother while holding me in her arms.

" You take care of her and I will bring our stuff here tomorrow. I will see you both tomorrow. " Said Grandfather. My grandma nodded and said " Alright, that will be better. "

I already feel good. I don't have to be here all alone. My kids will have someone to listen stories from or to play with. " I will help you. " Said samrat to my grandfather. I will gall my grandfather ( pops ) and grandmother ( momo ) that will be easy for me.

" Thanks you young man. " Said pops to sam. After more talking pops left and momo took the elders for a nap. I visited my little ones who are deep in sleep.

Just brought the little one in my room since she wasn't feeling that well. The little sick one from the hospital. I am not showing favouritism it's just she is sick and is not sleeping in her nanny's arms.

I really don't know how to care for her. But if I am her comfort than I am willing to comfort her. She slept in my arms in two to three minutes, she had a little smile on her face when she went to sleep. I think I will call her khushi...my happiness.
