*Navya Pov*
I woke up hearing our angel crying and walked towards the small cradle we placed beside our bed for her. I pick her up in my arms and walked towards the rocking chair to sit on it.
I fed her and then rocked her with my body smiling at her. She smiled once and slowly drifted off into sleep.
When I placed her back into her cradle, I heard Suhas mumbling “Navya!” continuously.
“I am here, Suhas.” I said and turned to see him searching for me patting his hand on my side of the bed.
I sat there and brushed his hair saying, “I am here!”
“Don’t leave me!” he mumbled placing his head on my lap.
I groaned hearing that line again. It’s been five months since we both got married once again and me leaving this house, but he still has this small fear that one day I will pack my bags and leave him.
I slapped on his shoulder and woke him up. When he sat up, rubbing his eyes, I pulled his head into my hands and said, “I am not going to leave you so don’t say that line again.”
“What line?” he asked me innocently.
“I will just go and pack my bags to visit Matt and everyone.” Saying this I started getting down.
He stopped me saying, “Don’t leave me!”
When I grinned at him, he face palmed himself, and I said, “That line!”
“What can I say? I just think one day you will wake up and think I am so not worth it. Then you will just decide to leave me.” he said frowning.
“Urgh! If I really wanted to leave you, then I would have left completely that day but not to leave only for few weeks. So pull that thought completely from your brain right now.” I said in a demanding tone.
He nodded and leaned against the headboard with a faraway look. I shook him and asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing!” he replied, shaking his head.
“Tell me, Suhas. Please tell me.” I continued to disturb him to tell me until he joined his both hands in front of me.
“What did you do to my Navya?” He asked teasingly.
“What? I am curious to know what my husband is thinking. I have a right to know everything about you.” I replied smiling.
“I am just thinking how strong you are. ” He said proudly.
“I am?” I asked him shocked.
“Yeah! No matter how much your family hurt you, but you still talk to them normally. And as for me, I never even had a nerve to go to jail to visit him.” He replied.
“That has nothing to with strength. Now, as I have you, I wanted to close that chapter in my life, and if I was there near you, then you would have done the same, and I am sure of it.” I said assuring him.
He smiled and pulled me into his arms. I looked around the room which is the combination of both our tastes.
As for Di she gave birth to a small baby boy four months back and Jiju too completely forgot about the incident, and they are back to a normal couple.
Dad and Mom, I don’t know much about them like always. They are the ones that always call me, and I talk to them giving them respect.
And Mom, she is living here with us happily. I am actually happier than anyone here when she started to stay here with us.
Divya got married last month and is very happy in her married life. With her marriage as occasion, I met all our “New York Gang” again.
“Now what are you thinking?” he asked smiling.
“Nothing! So anyway, we are going to the function tomorrow, right?” I asked him smiling.
“Yeah! We are going there, and you can come when I give you a call so that you will not stress yourself to wait until the function starts.” He replied, and I nodded at him.
I lay on him, and we both drifted off into sleep definitely with smiles on both of our faces.
Next day in the evening, I started getting ready while Mom started to play with the baby. After getting ready I took her from her and hugged Mom.
“It would be good if you come Mom.” I said frowning.
“No! I have a conference call with the girls. So you go and enjoy with him.” She said making me chuckle.
Like I thought she became best friends with Di, Becks and Mel. Mom by staying here had many girls’ nights through online even though there is a lot of time difference. But whenever they meet her through an online call, they just term that meeting as girl’s night.
She is in regular contact with them, and she is going to visit them soon too. I am happy for her as she is busy with them along with an orphanage here.
We both go there together actually. But I go there on weekends while she goes everyday. Sometimes we go to Bhopal so that she can check the house along with visiting the kids in that orphanage.
When I reached there I got a call from him, and I lifted it to say, “I just reached!”
“Oh ok! Just come inside directly telling your name, and I will be very near to the door.” he said and I hung up after telling him I will do as per his wish.
But when I entered I met the person who looks like I saw somewhere. He looked at me wide-eyed and started moving away.
“Wait! I saw you somewhere.” I said frowning.
“Er... nowhere?” he replied like a question.
“No! Tell me where did I see you.” I asked again and looked around to see Suhas is coming towards us with a frown.
“I am so sorry! Sir asked me to propose you, madam, so I did. I didn’t want to but he just asked me to.” he said nervously, then I remembered him proposing to me at the bus station.
“What are you still doing here?” Suhas asked him frowning.
“I am going, sir!” he replied and rushed away from us.
I looked at Suhas with a raised eyebrow, and by the way, he is looking all around, I am completely sure that he is the ‘sir’ who asked that poor man to do that.
“So you wanted me to get married to him?” I asked him with a blank expression.
“What? No! I just... just wanted to see how you will react to proposals generally.” He replied.
“What would have done is I accepted his proposal?” I asked him.
“I asked him not to let you accept him. If your reaction was completely normal and like any other girl, I would have to find the way like that. Then when you started liking me, I would have married you for my plan. But you are not normal, so I chose the other way.” He replied scratching his neck.
“What do you mean I am not normal?” I asked him frowning.
“I mean to say you are special.” He replied smiling.
“Hold her!” I said, giving him our baby and started leaving them.
“Where are you going?” he asked me confused.
“To search for him and accept his proposal as he was really cute at that time.” I replied in DUH tone and started brushing my hair and dress like I am adjusting them properly.
“You are not going anywhere.” He said in a stern voice.
“That’s not what I expected. I expected you to say ‘Don’t leave me!’.” I said in a surprised tone.
“You will not leave me.” he said smiling.
“And who decided that?” I asked him teasingly and started moving towards him.
“I decided it! As I am your husband, lover and everything.” He replied, bending his head to mine.
“Hmm… what a torture.” I said, shaking my head sighing.
“You!” he said crashing his lips carefully not to hurt our baby.
He released me when we heard a throat clearing. We released ourselves to see Divya standing there grinning at us.
“So if you guys completed your PDA. Let me take my goddaughter into my arms.” She said teasingly.
We laughed and did as per her wish. She took our baby and cooed her grinning. We both smiled holding each other.
“So what are you doing here leaving your boss? What if he gets angry on you?” I asked her frowning.
“His wife is there with him, and I am sure he will not get angry at me at all. They both are such a cute couple Navya like you guys. And she is a very talented dancer.” she replied, and I nodded at her smiling.
“So what are you going to name her?” she asked giving our baby back.
“Ria!” We said at the same time smiling.
“That’s cool! Now come on, this is your company's success party and you guys are standing here like guests.” she said and walked towards her boss who is standing with his wife.
“So let’s go.” I said and started walking towards the stage.
He pulled me back near him and said, “Don’t leave me and always stay with me.”
I shook my head, smiling and we both walked inside holding each other’s hand along with our baby.
I will not leave him like ever!
