Chapter 19

Neil

Our 4-day long honeymoon cum vacation was a great time for me.

After a long time, I had enjoyed some great days off work.

It was an amazing time and even more amazing because I had spent this time with Kiara.

She is a wonderful woman and having her as my wife is definitely not what I would have ever thought, leaving her would be the worst ever decision of mine but I had to sign the contract at that moment or else I would have seen Sid's saddest face.

So never mind, if it's for Sid, then even if it would cost me death, I would have no problem,

Yes! I love my brother that much...

I know many of you would think like how can these brothers be so much close, because of the current scenario where nobody cares for anyone but themselves,

But let me tell you all, Sid is my life. He's all that you would've known about a guy in his adulthood, rebellious, arrogant, and whatnot but he never ever raised his voice in front of us...

And just to tell you all that he's also the only friend I've got. I never really had any friends in school and sometimes even try to cried myself to sleep, but every time I used to do so, Sid would come and comfort me and sleep with me...

He even broke friendships with his own friends just because they would tease me about how nerdy I was, about how undesirable and undeserving I was...

I was so close to developing inferiority complexes but because of him I didn't, and I'm really grateful to him.

And all the muscles and looks you see on me are because of him only.

So yeah, I can do anything and everything for him!

So getting married was not a huge issue, but getting married and getting attached and attracted to the one who I have to leave after a period of time is a huge issue...

A highly hurting thing to be honest!!!

Kiara

It's been 3 months since my marriage and my life has been more than awesome since then.

Having a set of one more parent is more than amazing than it sounds, Mom and dad both treat me like a princess, seriously like the way Mumma and Papa used to do.

They both even for a moment didn't make me feel like I'm in my in-laws' house, like my expectations were so low due to reading so many weird arranged marriage novels, I never thought that I would receive so much love here.

As smooth and amazing as my life is going, I'm still mostly stressed for at least an hour every day, then I forget about it though... but the stressful thought that's not letting me be peaceful for some time in a day is...

I don't wanna leave Neil and his family ever!

I've grown so attached to them that I feel like I would not be able to live if I leave them and if I manage to do so, I would never be able to live a happy life...

Earlier, my happiness circle used to involve only my parents and Prisha but since the time I married that list includes 4 more people.

I've been thinking about this so much lately, that people would look at me while thinking they would think I've lost my sanity.

But it's for sure that I don't want to live without them, it's like seriously become a thing that I can't even imagine...

So thinking almost for a month now I've finally developed the guts to ask Neil to cancel the contract, though it's not fixed that he would seriously listen to me ,but, yeah, at least I would be sure that I'm not to blame for anything that would happen later.

But the fact is we both seriously talk all nice and caring every day that I've even got attracted to him a little, but we don't leave even a single day without talking about the contract .

This is fixed that I have to talk, I'm just waiting for the perfect time!

And I would keep thinking that we've talked and the contract is canceled because I have been taught by everyone that,

Positive thinking always helps.

I've finally now left my bed because this was my today's session of stress which is over now and since I've got a day off today due to winning a case the previous day, so let's get fresh and have a quick 2-hour date with my all-time favorite a cup of Coffee and a book.

Trust me when I say this, books are literally my solutions for everything, I read so many books, that I can't even tell. I was always a nerd and reading was my best comfort.

I remember my every birthday, and my every achievement, my parents used to get so amused that even if they were ready to give me whatever I wished, I used to always wish for books, different storybooks, and novels.

Right now I'm sitting on the swing which is in the garden re-reading one of my most liked books 'Harry Potter and the deathly hollows.'

It was so good to read it the first time that I'm reading it for the 4th time now.

I was so into the book that I didn't even hear the footsteps coming near me,

"Hello Kiara!" I heard a voice and raised my head leaving the book, to find Mom looking at me with a smile.

"oh-Hello Mom!" I said taking my legs that were spread on the swing down so that even she could sit.

"So... What have you taken to feed it in your library today?" she asked while sitting on the swing but I couldn't really gather the context of her saying.

"I mean your mind, dear." She said after looking at my confused facial expression after that we both started laughing.

'So, you had something for me?' I asked her after we both had managed to stop laughing

"No... Actually, since it's tea time and Sid said he was going to make his Iconic pasta, so he told me to ask you whether you'll have it?" She informed.

"Siddharth is making pasta?" I asked her again to reconfirm.

"Hmm." She hummed nodding her head in agreement.

"Then tell him that I'll have 2 plates!" I said excitedly to which Mom gave a confused look.

"Actually, he used to make it for Prisha every time they used to meet and I being the best friend had a free license of roaming with her, so even if he would prepare the pasta, they both mostly had it in a single plate and that too was mostly left untouched since they would just get a lost in each other forgetting about the food" I said smiling ear to ear remembering all the times I've stopped them from making me aunt.

"Oh, Kia, you make me remember my twenties, even I used to be like you, my friends would be forever fed up, but I still used to enjoy intervening in all the couple's peaceful time." She said and we both chuckled.

"Kiara, see we've talked a lot now let's go and have the pasta."

"Sure Mom, I'll just keep the book in my room and come down." I said and she gave me a quick nod before leaving.

I came downstairs as soon as I kept the book in my room to just get lost in the aroma of pasta.

"Kiara, you're just gonna smell or eat too?" Sid asked sarcastically.

"You know, you're just like your brother, happiness spoiler!" I said while sitting on the chair.

"Right Kia, it's good you came to know about it soon, these 2 creatures don't even give a little signal for people to believe that they are literally my children." Mom said with a hint of annoyance.

'Mom!' Sid cribbed

See, as I told just like his brother.

"Don't you two have to eat, or are your stomachs filled with all the mocking you've done today?" Sid said while taking the pasta pan with him.

"Noo..." Me and Mom screamed together.

"We were not mocking you, just having some fun..." Mom said and looked so innocent at the moment.

"hmm, good, so let's eat pasta now." Sid said and served us.

We were in the middle of enjoying the delicacy when I heard a soft whimper,

"Mom, can you hear someone crying, like a baby or something?" I asked, suddenly stopping the eating.

"So you're able to hear it too right?" she asked and I quickly nodded.

"I was hearing it for so long, it seems to be coming from outside." She said and I agreed while shaking my head.

"Sid , go and check outside." Mom told Sid and even though he didn't wish to leave his food, he had to do it.

So he quickly left and within a second we heard,

"Mom! Bhabhi!" We both heard Sid yell and call us.

"Mom, why is Sid screaming? Come let us go." I said with concern.

"Yes Kia, let's go."

Soon after Sid called for us we reached the main gate within seconds only to get shocked by the view in front of us...

It was a cute baby kept in a basket and it was she, who we all heard whimpering and Sid's shouting I guess scared her because now she started crying at the top of her voice.

"Mom, it's a baby, who would've left it? And why is she crying?" Sid asked examining the baby and the surroundings, but Mom shushed him and picked her up but she didn't stop crying.

With the baby in her hand she went inside while me and Sid followed her.

"Mom, why is she crying, do you think she's hungry?" I asked her and she nodded No.

"Then?" I questioned.

"She has been left by someone on our doorstep Kiara, why do you think she must be crying?" Mom questioned to me raising her eyebrow and I soon understood why was she crying.

"Mom, give her to me, I'll try." Sid said but I was quick enough to reach Mom before him and take the baby in my hand.

As a result of my action, Sid was about to scream at me but didn't because as soon as the baby came into my hands it stopped crying which made me very happy.

"What the hell is happening here?" Our heads snapped in the direction of the voice to see Neil standing there shocked and confused.
