Akash POV
***********
Akash someone called me from behind. I turned to see there is standing my shanthi maa.
"Shanthi maa!" I whispered painfully.
Shanthi maa, my caretaker. She took leave for 3 months because she went to take care of her pregnant daughter. Now she finally returned. I missed her a lot but how am I going to face her. She don't know about my marriage with Dharani and my monstrous act towards Dharani.
Shanthi maa is like a mother to me. When I was 8 years old, my mom Sharadha died of cancer. I was devastated but Shanthi maa took care of me. Dad was always busy in his business. He was never there for me when I need him but shanthi maa always there for me. I grew up in her arms.
"What happened Akash?" maa asked me. I stood up, ran to her and hugged maa tightly and cried.
"Akash! Tell me son, what happened to you? Look at me, don't scare me like this, tell me son!"she asked worried.
