Chapter-7

[Myra's P.O.V]

I was abnormal today. How wouldn't I be even? I met the devil of my life. I couldn't concentrate on anything at all after what happened today. I took a leave at five in afternoon from the office and came at home. I changed into comfortable clothes and gone at my neighbour's house which happens to be Mrs. Mishra.

She is a very hardworking women. She makes pickles and papad and side by side does babysitting as well. Though she isn't literate much but she knows how to make herself financially stable. Her first name is Kavita. She is thirty years right now and she never complained about Avni at all though she annoys a lot. She likes her a lot and she takes care of her so much. She has a son his name is Vivek he is five years old. Avni and Vivek both are very good friends. They are both in the same school. Yes it would be easy for Avni to have someone with her. Vivek is Avni's first friend of her life and they both adore each other a lot. She shares everything , in everything comes her favourite chocolates and ice cream too which she doesn't shares with me but with him its different. I went upstairs as they live on the fifth floor whereas me & Avni lives on the third floor. I was smiling to see my beautiful daughter FINALLY, after a bad day there was a smile on my face. I rang the doorbell of Mrs.Kavita and her husband opened the door

.

I had a faint smile I don't know but I always felt uneasy around him. He always used to see me with his lustful eyes and he is doing the same thing right now but he never touched me so I never took any actions regarding it as it may seem rude to Kavita plus I didn't had any proof. I asked him "Is Kavita there?" He nodded and called Kavita and left the Drawing room. I had a wide smile around my face when she came. She was looking very beautiful. Maybe she was going out somewhere I smirked and asked her " So where is this beauty going huh?"

"Well this beauty is going on a date with her husband"

"Wow, have fun Kavita. You are looking elegant."

"Thankyou Myra, You are more by the way"

"Ugh. No, anyways where is Avni?"

"Oh she is sleeping, even Vivek is sleeping beside her. Can you please take Vivek with you".

"Of course, it would be great to have him home. You always take care of my daughter and now it's my turn"

She grinned and made me go to her bedroom where Avni and Vivek were there. Both were looking so cute I didn't felt like waking them because firstly they will be disturbed by their sleep and Secondly as I mentioned they looked very cute but unfortunately I had to wake them up.

After several trials both got up. Both were still sleepy I grinned "C'mon Avni and Vivek you have to get. Afterwards you can sleep at our home. Vivek get up your parents want to go outside"

Vivek replied, "But aunty, I also want to go. They always do this with me"

To which Avni replied

"Acha, So last week who was at Imagica and last month who was at Kidzania, huh? You better shutup and come with me and play with me"

I wanted to laugh at her attitude but my motherly side came at life and scolded her "Avu say sorry to him, this isn't a way you should be talking to your bestfriend" she was staring at him angrily with her arms folded "I'm sorry but please come with me" he grinned "Yes I'll. Just say sorry once more" and then Avni looked at me and pouted

"Mumma, please tell him not to make fun of me"

"Ugh. Guys stop it now, let's go first we will eat yummy treats"

Vivek said "Really?"

"Really, now let's go"

By that we three made our way to our flat. I made them eat Oreo and Milk to which Vivek said "Wow, aunty you make Oreos and milk very nice" I wanted to laugh at his innocence but instead I said "Thanks, Vivek"

*timeskip to 2hours*

After 2 hours Kavita came and took Vivek with her. I asked her "How was your date?"

To which she sadly replied "It wasn't good Myra, he was staring at other women and whenever I intiated

conversation he was either ignoring me or was getting irritated" I felt sad for her "Ugh. This men always do things which offends us. Don't worry Kavita, try making new dishes for him, maybe he will not get offended. If he still continues then go to your mom's house until he doesn't calls you and comes there to take you" she grinned, looked like I relieved her stress a bit, she said, "Thanks Myra, you have been a great help. I'll try this. Good night" I grinned and bid her a goodbye.

I turned around and saw Avni was standing there, I asked her "What happened Avu? You were watching cartoons na"

I took her in my arms and made my way to bedroom. She said "Mumma, like Vivek has his father, So, Where is my Dad?" I was shocked to hear that question
