Unconditional Love (Part- 2)

Chapter - 41

Anika's POV

There is a question in my heart for many days. Today I will ask Ishaan. I thought to ask it many times but somehow I was hesitant today I will definitely ask it.

Until today I knew Ishaan’s father is dead. Ishaan had said this to me but today the person who had come to meet Mom(Ishita) exactly looks like Ishaan. If someone one day says that he is related to Ishaan, no one will doubt it. But the strange thing is he is very old. Maybe he would be the same age as my dadu(Animesh) or Nanu(Kartik).

Is he Ishaan’s grandfather? The way Mom behaved with him it looked like they don’t have a good relationship and also he said “That’s my son. At least he should know about my identity.” Who is he? Why was he saying those things? And about whom he was talking? I was very confused… but hearing mom's reply I became more confused.

“ohh! Now your other children have left you, so now you have come here to claim your rights? Listen Mr. Sharma I don’t want any disturbance in my son's life. Go and live the rest of your life peacefully… because if I start taking action, I will make your life a living hell.”- mom said with so much anger on her face.

“I really don’t understand, how did you become so powerful and rich. Which rich man got trapped by you?” – that man insulted mom

I didn’t like this man’s statement at all. I was going to leave there because I know eavesdropping is not a good habit, I had just stopped my track hearing that man's sentence. I thought I shouldn’t hear anymore, so I was just about to leave with so much confusion in my head but the next sentence from a person inside the room make me stuck in my place.

“Stay away from my daughter and grandson's life. You have ruined enough. Now my daughter is strong enough to fight against you. So be careful.” – Geeta, who is Mom's personal maid said this with so much hatred and anger.

Ishaan calls her dadi ( grandmother) because he said he has no grandmother and she is like a grandmother to her. But she was saying my daughter, my grandson… was she saying this because she also thinks of them as their own? No no no it can’t be, even if she thinks of them as their own, still a maid will never have the audacity of speaking like that in front of her master.

That means she is really Ishaan's grandmother and Mom's mother. But then why is she staying here as Mom's maid? Does Ishaan know about it? If yes… then why is he lying to me? And if not then what will happen when he will find out this truth?
I don’t understand, why mom is lying. What is she hiding? And if that man is really Ishasn's father then why Mom is hiding it from Ishaan?

O god! I am very confused and also curious. First I have to ask Ishaan about his father. But I have to be careful. If he really doesn’t know anything then he would be very hurt. I know that feeling very well. I have to ask him tactically so that he doesn’t understand.

Third Person’s POV

Anika's thoughts were broken by Ishaan's sudden hug from behind.

ISHAAN : What is my little wife thinking so immensely that she didn’t even feel my presence.

Said putting his chin on Anika’s shoulder.

ANIKA : Nothing… I was just thinking about some upcoming projects.

ISHAAN : humph! Since you became the CEO, you have forgotten about your husband. (Said pouting)
