chapter 24

* This chapter is dedicated to one of my readers. She is the one who reads every chapter and review it. @ BRIGHT STAR ⭐*** Panchali's Point Of View**'Yes , go on I am ready to listen', said Abhi while I was still thinking what to say because honestly I was never prepared for this type of situation. 'Panchali you know na , what your silence is forcing me to do? Your silence is forcing me to think anything about your daughter like you could have been married before and she is the daughter of your first husband or she is your illegal daught-' , he was saying when I slapped him.' Shut up Abhi. Do you even know what are you talking about? Though Rai is my daughter but I didn't gave her birth , she is my Di's daughter. ', I replied as I was really feeling angry about his sentences but then I realised what did I said?????'Di's, daughter??', he asked surprised.'Y-yeah, she is my di's daughter. You remember I usually talk about Shonai di , my elder cousin? She is her daughter', I replied as I was thinking what to say.'Daughter? Shonai di? I am confused. Tell me everything', he asked and it felt that he was starting to believe me.' Actually my sister had a love marriage with her college mate. She had a vast property. After 2 years of marriage she got to know that the man whom she loved with all her heart has married her due to her property and money and is planning to kill her. And coincidentally I was here at that time. She came to me and told me everything. Later I took her with me and and her husband thought that she was dead and got all her properties. Later when we were in Kolkata we got to know that she was pregnant. She wanted to tell him but we stopped her. Later we got to know she was suffering from cancer 3rd stage . Rai was just 6 months old when di passed away. After that I became Rai's mother. And we told Rai that her father died in an accident.', I told him everything in which everything was true. I didn't lied to him. But only thing I hid was di's name.All the while Abhi was staring at me startled. I knew he believes me now....  ' Ohh I-I am sorry Panchi for not trusting you and misunderstanding you.', He said staring at the ground.I went to him and hugged him and said,' It's fine. Every relationship has misunderstanding but the need is to solve it'.' But your slap was really strong it still hurts', he said caressing his cheeks.' You deserved it.... ', I replied.' What????? Anyways my and Rai's first meeting was not that good. I was thinking if you could introduce us in better way😅', He said quite embarrassed.' Huh? T-today ? I'll introduce you two later..', I replied as I didn't wanted to introduce them.' NO. TODAY', he said determined.' O-ok , let's go', Isaid and unwillingly went upstairs. As soon as I got in Rai jumped on me. She kissed me a thousand times and wetted my whole face. I sat down on the bed and saw Aakarsh sleeping!!! ' What happened to him?', I asked to Rai.She looked at him and giggled and said,' He was trying to get me to sleep so he sang Lullaby but....... Instead he slept😅😅'.' This Aakarsh!!....Ufff...', I replied.' Ummm , Abhi , Rai Let's go to downstairs and talk , let Aakarsh sleep', I said and took them to downstairs.Abhi kneeled down till Rai's height and said,' Hi beautiful!! How are you? What is your name?'.But Rai turned towards me and said,' He's a ullu ,Mummy , he doesn't know that I don't talk to strangers 😂'. Abhi was utterly shocked to her statement. He was staring at me blankly.{This was his reaction 😂}'Dear she is my friend that means he is your friend too. Now go and be friends', I instructed her and she went to him and spread her hands for a handshake. They shaked their hands and I don't know why I felt a shiver....... A Fear....... Of-of .......losing Rai.'My name is Saurabh Singh , you can call me uncle.', he said.' My name is Ditipriya Ghosh and You WILL call me Ditipriya only. Only my family members call me Rai , Mr. Singh', she said.Yeah! Rai is very smart according to her age. Even she is very mature. She listens to my every word . But somewhere deep inside my heart for the first time I was fearing. Evening 9pm :It was 9 already. Aakarsh had gone to office for some important work and Abhi was still in my home when it started to rain heavily outside. Though Rai didn't made friends with anyone but I was utterly shocked seeing that Rai and Abhi were friends now. She was literally playing with him. I had prepared dinner, when Abhi spoke:Abhi: So , did you thought?Me: About? ( Casually)Abhi: Marriage, our marriage. I mean now Rai is also here , I think we should get married legally first and then we will do the ritual marriage later on.The food choked and I started coughing and Rai passed me water.Rai: Marriage? Mum mum are you going to get married? Then will you forget me?I hugged her tightly and said,' I will die but never ever forget you'.Rai: I knew it. I was just joking. When is your marriage Mr. Singh?Abhi: I talked to my lawyer and he said we can get married after 10 days( looking at me).Me: O-ok.**************So sorry guys for this boring chapter but believe me next chapter will be interesting and due to being boring I am not even giving you targets.
