Baby Daddy (Ongoing)

Part 45

UNEDITED

Part – 45

Madhu was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling lost in her thoughts. She was thinking about Rk's proposal.

A movie offer for me? Really? No, I can't believe it. When I was in relationship with Rk, he could have easily offered me a movie but he didn't do that. He fooled me then but now he's genuinely interested to make me a heroine. Why? Maybe, his guilt is forcing him to do that.

Hmm... should I accept his proposal or reject it? I don't know. I have been lately rejecting all his proposals so one more rejection will do no harm, right? But then, wasn't becoming a heroine my life time dream?

Wait! Is becoming a heroine still a life time dream of mine? No, of course not! My daughter is my life time dream and reality.

Oh my God! What will happen to my Ruhi if I decide to take up this offer?

Will my work take me away from my daughter? Obviously!

Will I get time to take care of her? I don't think so. My life will change. Her life will change. Nothing will be like before. So, do I want all these changes to happen?

"Mama" Ruhi woke up from her sleep and sat upright on the bed, scratching her head, feeling disorientated. "Mama" she cried.

"I'm here, baby" Madhu slipped her hands around Ruhi's hips from behind and picked her up and placed her on her belly. "Go back to sleep" she pulled her daughter to lie on her chest and patted her bum gently; hoping she would fall asleep again but little Ruhi had other plan. She pushed herself up and Madhu propped her knees up so that Ruhi can lean her back on them.

"Where's papa?" Ruhi asked as she played with her momma's shirt button.

"He is in the other house"

"I want papa" she said softly making Madhu to strain her ears to catch her words.

"He will come here to see you, tomorrow"

"I want to see papa now"

"Only sometimes back we came from papa's place" After their conversation regarding Dipali's desire to cast Madhu in her next film, Rk took Madhu and Ruhi to a small restaurant few blocks away from his apartment to have a family dinner and after that he came to drop them safe at the big house and went back to his place not before reminding Madhu to think and make the right decision.

"I want papa" Ruhi said as her eyes welled up. This wasn't the first time Ruhi crying in the midnight to see her daddy. Ever since he moved out this was happening. Ruhi gets cranky more than before. 

"Wait, I will make a call to your papa and you talk with him, okay?" Madhu stretched her hand out and took her phone from the bedside table and speed dialed Rk's number.

"Hello, Madhu? Is everything alright? Is Ruhi crying?" he asked worriedly. Madhu without a word passed the phone to Ruhi.

"Papa, come home" she cried over the phone.

"I'm coming, darling. I'm coming" he said and hung up. Ruhi kept kissing the phone and telling him how much she missed him thinking her papa was on-line.

"Your papa's coming?" Madhu asked as she took the phone the Ruhi hand and discarded it on the bed after making sure the call was already ended.

"Oui" Ruhi squealed and bounced on Madhu's belly. Gone all her crocodile tears! Madhu thought.

"You tell your papa not to leave us, Ruhi" Madhu said to her daughter knowing only she can convince her daddy.

"Okie. Ruhi tell papa nah leave Ruhi and mama" she repeated shaking her hands and head.
