The Missing Pieces

Chapter 27

HAPPY HOLI ❤️

It's been four days since they came back from Goa. Teju along with her family came back to Delhi while Karan returned back to Mumbai. Everyone got back to their regular life. Teju started going to her cafe, Kiyaansh started going to his preschool, Karan going to his office.

Everything was almost normal just like it had been before the wedding. But the only difference was Karan's presence in Teju and Kiyaansh lives.

Though they were physically miles apart but just a call away from each other. They would call each other whenever they feel like talking to each other. They would chat whenever they miss each other. They would do face time whenever they want to see each other.

It was dinner time. Teju and Kiyaansh sat to have dinner with her family.

"Duggu... Should I give you some more rice beta?" Teju's mother asked Kiyaansh.

"No nani. I'm so full. Aur jyada khaya to Mera stomach blast ho jayega." He said with extra dramatic effects that made everyome laugh.

"Dramebaaz."

Teju's mom pulled Kiyaansh's cheeks. Off late Teju's mother had been very caring and loving to Kiyaansh. It seemed she finally accepted Kiyaansh as her grandson. That made Teju very happy.

After having dinner everyone retired back to their rooms. Teju was in bathroom with Kiyaansh making him brush his teeth. They were almost done when they heard Teju's phone ringing.

"Daddy ka call hoga."

"Arre baby. Wipe your face atl-----"

Teju couldn't even complete before he rushed out of the bathroom. Teju laughed at his eagerness.

She changed into her pajama. When she came out she found Kiyaansh on the bed talking to Karan. It was a video call from Karan. The phone was kept against the pillows

"....Maine bohot enjoy Kiya. Khub khela. Hide and seek. Football." Kiyaansh narrated everything to his father.

"Accha. Toh mere champ ne khub Sara enjoy kiya hai."

"Haa daddy. Aur phir evening me Nani mujhe park le gayi thi. Waha bhi Jake maine Inna sara enjoy Kiya."

"Bohot accha. Wese apke mumma abhi tak kyu nahi ayi bathroom se?" Karan finally asked not getting a glimpse of her.

Kiyaansh was about to answer but Teju signed him not to. She sat beside Kiyaansh so that she too was coming in the view. She waved at Karan. Karan waved her back staring at her. Karan found her so adorable in her cute pajama that was very similar to Kiyaansh's.

"Mumma and baby ne same pajama pehna hai. Wow. Ab mujhe bhi same pajama kharidna hoga."

"Yes daddy. And we'll sleep together wearing same pajama." Kiyaansh squealed.

His happy mood suddenly tuned sour. Both Karan and Teju noticed his sudden change in mood.

"What happened? Why became upset?" Karan asked Kiyaansh.

"I miss you daddy. I want to be with you. Sleep together like we did during Maasi's wedding." Kiyaansh said.

"We will baby. You, me and your mumma, we all will live together soon." Karan said.

"Haa. Aur wese bhi we'll meet daddy tomorrow in the reception. Now don't be sad. Ek bada wala smiley de do." Teju said to cheer up her baby's mood.

Kiyaansh smiled widely.

"Yes that's like my baby. Come'on now say good night to daddy." Teju said.

"But I wanna talk more." Kiyaansh pouted.
