Being Your Second Wife (SLOW UPDATES)

Shiv POV:

Cold water has always been my friend. Sometimes it makes me numb sometime it makes me feel light headed but overall it always calms my nerves. I recalled today morning...

 Flasback starts :

Jaise ki aaj chutti thi to der se utha but phir bhi I had a smile on my face. Its my birthday after all. I smiled sadly recalling about Suman....Suman ke jaane ke baad ye first time tha jab mai apne birthday ko lekar excited tha. Kya mai galat kar raha hoon Suman agar mai khush hoon tumhare bina ?

I sighed and pulled myself out of all negative thoughts.

As soon as I entered main hall a chorus of Happy Birthday welcomed me. I smiled and took blessings of my Dad. Everyone was present there except Mom and Kaya. I was looking for them when Ansh nudged me

"Papa Happy Bday." He said to me holding a card in his hand. He looked so adorable in his night suit.

"Thank-you mera bachha. Ye mere liye hai ?" I took him in my arms. He nodded excitedly. I took card from him and opened it. With different colors Happy Birthday Papa was written on it in Ansh's childish handwriting and certain colorful flowers were made here and there. I felt proud and emotional at same time. Proud because mere bachha dheere dheere bada hone laga hai usne alphabets likhne shuru kar diye hain and emotional because ye pahla gift hai jo mujhe Ansh ne diya mai hamesha ise sambhal kar rakhunga. Mujhe apne bachpan ke din yaad aa gaye jab mai ma papa ya Niti ko bhi rakhi par cards bana kar deta tha.

"Bhai ab aap rone mat lagna." Amar teased me.

"Ye bahut sundar hai Ansh. Thankyou so much. Ye poora aapne banaya ?" I asked kissing his chubby cheeks.

"Yes..but bua ne help kari." He gave an ear to ear smile.

"Okay okay ab hum log ke gifts ki baari." Niti jumped in excitement.

"Haan baba par Ma kahan hai ? Aur Kaya ?" I took a seat on sofa near dad.

"Tumhari mummy ko to tum jaante hi ho uthte hi tumhare liye pooja karne neeche mandir gayi hain. Kaya bhi uske saath hi hai." Dad replied for me.

Ye mummy log bhi na inka pyaar duniya mein sabse alag hai..koi comparison hi nahi hai.

" Bhaiya ye meri taraf se. Amar bhaiya se pahle mera gift kholo."

Amar mujhe gift de hi raha tha ki Niti uske gift ko hatakar apna gift upar rakh di.

"Niti what the hell ! Mai de raha tha na..kya hai ye.." Amar shouted at Niti.

"Bhaiya please...pahle mera...mai sabse choti hoon na..please..." She gave her best puppy eyes to Amar and we all can never resist them.

"Fine whatever." Amar grumbled annoyingly.

I smiled at there little banter and Papa also chuckled while commenting
"Ye dono kabhi bade nahi honge."

Mai jaanbhooj kar uska gift dheere dheere khol raha tha.

"Bhai I know what you are doing. Jaldi kariye na...please..."

"Okay Okay.."

I opened her gift and it was a branded casual suit jacket along with the same brand shirt. The jacket was just the way I like but what caught my attention was the brand. It was one of the famous brands of our country and costs fortune. I shockingly looked at her.

"What !...Aahhh...I was expecting the same reaction. Ab isse pahle aap poocho mai bata doon I bought it with my hard earned money. Jab mai yahan job kar rahi thi na tab ki savings se I bought this for you that's why I was insisting you to open it first."
