Shivam's pain

Kanishk picked up Nidhi and brought her to the bed. Nidhi was now calmer than before.

Now Kanishk started trying to make her sleep quietly but it seemed as if sleep was far away from both of their eyes.

"Kanishk, Shivam has become all alone since Tanya left. Even if he does not let this be revealed to everyone at all. Now even Shivansh has understood how much his father misses his mother. But nothing is allowed to be revealed to them." Nidhi became silent after saying this.

"Yes, I know. And on the day of tomorrow, brother misses sister-in-law the most." Kanishka also had nothing further to say. But still he said, "Sleep now, we have to go in the morning."

"Yes", saying this Nidhi closed her eyes. Seeing her sleeping, Kanishk also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning the entire mansion was bustling with activity. Both Shivam and Shivansh were wearing white shirts and black pants. Both of them looked like carbon copies of each other and their facial expressions were also similar.

"uncle, how am I looking?" Niharika said happily coming down the stairs.

"You are looking fat", Shivansh teased Niharika.

"uncle, look, brother always teases me by calling me fat." Niharika made a face.

" The daily fight between you both started again." Nidhi came from behind and scolded both of them. "Isn't the mischievousness of both of you increasing a bit more?"

"Hey aunty, you know I don't enjoy it without teasing this fat lady." Shivansh applies mascara to Nidhi. "By the way aunty, can you tell me one thing? Is this fat lady really your daughter?"

"And why is it so?" Nidhi also raised one of her eyebrows. She knew very well how mischievous his nephew was and how to butter someone, someone should learn from him. No one can tell from his actions that he is a ten year old child.

"what is that aunty, look at yourself, you are so beautiful and look at her..." Saying this, Shivansh teased Niharika even more.

"You are right bro." Just then a boy came from behind and high-fived Shivansh. The boy, who was at least 9 years old, then looked at Nidhi, "Aunty, this fat lady is really your daughter, isn't she? She looks like that from some angle."

Saying this he laughed loudly.

"uncle..." Niharika's face was about to cry.

"Hey Shivansh and Jay, why, both of you together are making my granddaughter cry. Whenever I see you, both of you together keep making her cry. " Just then Shivam's mom and dad came from the front.

Shivam's mother placed her hand on Niharika's cheek and asked her, "What happened to my daughter?"

"Grandma, look, brother and Jay always tease me." Niharika made a face.

"Hey Niharika, whose words are you also paying attention to? You know how these two are."

An 8 year old girl came and stood near Niharika. Saying this he stared at Shivansh and in return Shivansh also stared at him in the same way. Right now both of them were staring at each other as if they were going to kill each other with their eyes.

They were just staring at each other when suddenly someone came and pulled Jai's ears. "Aren't your mischiefs getting worse? Why are you troubling her?"

It was none other than jiya. And behind Jiya, Rakshit was also staring at Jay. Along with him, Tanisha and Tanmay also followed him.

(Now you all must be wondering why Rakshit is staring at Jay like this. Now brother why not stare, the devil wins and he gets scolded by Jiya every day. Jay always mentions his name.)

"Ah, Mama, you don't know this monkey. She remains so innocent in front of all of you. Isn't she that innocent?"

Jay tried hard to free his ear but it did not work.

"Yes, like you are very polite, aren't you?" Jiya released his ear. Jai was rubbing his ears and staring at Niharika who was happy to see him getting scolded. And before anyone else could see her laughing, her face returned to its original form.

Seeing them fighting like this brought laughter on everyone's face. This was the daily routine for those four, they used to fight like this every day.

"Let's go, otherwise we will be late." Kanishk said to everyone. Everyone's face became sad after listening to him. And everyone started walking outside.

Everyone had gone out but after Shivam, mom and dad were still left behind.

"Oh, I don't know why my heart is so nervous today. As if something bad is going to happen." She said looking at Shivam's father. "Ten years ago... also when Tanya had left the house for a checkup, I was feeling the same fear and that..." She became silent after saying this.

"You too are so nervous, nothing will happen. Let's go otherwise we will be late." Saying this he took them out with him. As soon as they came out everyone was waiting for both of them. As soon as they arrived, everyone sat in the car and left.

After a while they all were standing in front of Tanya's grave. Shivam sat down on his knees and kept Tanya staring at the grave. He said in his mind, "Tanya, I know very well that you never belonged to this world. But wherever you are, in whatever world you are in, I will find you."

The same Shivansh also came and stood next to Shivam. He placed the flowers in his hand on Tanya's grave and said in his mind, "Mom, dad misses you very much. They don't show it to me but they miss you a lot. Why don't you call them too? I have everything here but without you dad is very lonely. Every time dad feels very sad on this day and sits here in front of your grave the whole day."

Just thinking about this brought tears to his eyes. Shivansh knew that his father loved his mother very much, and he had grown up seeing his father's love for his mother. Although Shivansh is ten years old, he is much more intelligent than children of his age. He could not bear to see his father's loneliness. But what did that ten year old child know that his wish was going to be fulfilled very soon.

Shivansh was just standing when someone held his hand tightly. It was none other than the same girl whom Shivansh was staring at yesterday. Feeling someone's hand on his hand, Shivansh looked towards it and saw that it was Ruhi. When Shivansh looked at Ruhi, Ruhi blinked her eyelids, as if she was giving him courage with her eyes. After looking at Ruhi, Shivansh again turned his face towards the front.

Seeing Tanya's grave, Shivam got lost in old memories. And the memories of ten years ago started playing in front of him like a movie.

Flashback...

When Shivam and Tanya came home after getting checked from the hospital, everyone was already waiting for them there. Tanisha had given the news of Tanya's pregnancy to everyone even before her arrival. And she herself was about to reach home after finishing her important work.

Shivam's mother first noticed Tanya as soon as she arrived and she took her with her and sat on the sofa. She placed her hand on Tanya's cheek and asked her, "Are you okay? You are not feeling any weakness, right?"

"Yes, mother, I am absolutely fine." Tanya also replied to her smilingly.

After listening to her they also nodded their head. they had just sat down when Tanisha and Tanmay also came there.

Tanmay first hugged Shivam and said, "Congratulations, friend."

Before he could say anything else he was hit with the stick. Which was hit by Shivam's grandmother, "You are worthless, you are congratulating him. When will you give some good news?"

"Hey Grandma, why do you always hit me like this?" Tanmay quickly ran away to avoid them.

"If not hit you, what else should I do? So much time has passed and there is no good news yet?" They again showed the stick to hit him."

"Hey Grandma, the good news is not such that it will drop from the sky?" Tanmay quickly went and hid behind Shivam.

Everyone was laughing after seeing Tanmay being beaten.

"Mother, what are you doing? Leave that poor guy alone!" Shivam's mother came forward and spoke.

"If you say so, then it's okay, I'll leave it." Saying this she went towards the sofa.
