Bound By Love [Completed]

shot 22

Armaan walked into his house after a week being away on business trip

He had been to business trips many times in his life.

Sometimes to other states ,sometimes to other countries, but he had never been homesick

He took in a deep breath and the aroma of food from the kitchen hit him hard

Coming home to Janani's cooking is something he could get used to

Its past lunch time ,but he could still have something to eat

Once done with eating little bit of the food left in the kitchen, he sighed

He missed having this while in Delhi

He looked around and couldn't see neither Janani nor the kids

Along with that came the realisation that it's not coming home to Janani's cooking that matters

Its coming home to Janani and the kids that brings this warmth in his heart

The heart which he had locked away long ago

He is stepping into dangerous territory, he knews

He is not sure what it is he feels ,but he is liking that feeling

One week away had been hell

Maybe he is feeling these things for the wrong person

She might not be the right person for him if he thought with his clear brain

But then his heart sways the other way

"Looking for someone??" Aadesh asked coming inside the kitchen pocketing the phone in his hands with a cheeky smile

"Uh...yeah!! I was looking for you" he replied after a momentary pause

"Sure sure" Aadesh said airily

"Aadesh....Aadesh...." they heard the loud panicked screams of Janani from the backyard and without wasting a second they rushed out

Fear gripped his gut tight

"What happened to her??" Armaan asked frantically

He saw his daughter going limp in Janani's arms

And she is not breathing properly

"Ava...baby wake up" Janani tried waking her by patting Ava's cheeks

"What is wrong?? What happened??" He asked again

His daughter is unconscious

There are rashes on her skin

And she is not breathing properly

Never in his life had he felt so helpless

"Call the paramedics...immediately" she said and with shivering hands he did that before kneeling down beside his child

Janani laid Ava down on the ground on her side and Armaan was thankful that atleast someone here has their head clear

"Armaan, please get Ava's medical reports ready!!" Janani asked in between

"Why?? What happened??"

"Do as I say Armaan,please"

"She doesn't have one. She was perfectly alright until now" he said helplessly

He felt like a failure

He should have made necessary check ups

The first time she came with him ,he had done a regular check up, but nothing untowards was found
