chapter 10

It was great that he was very good to my kids . They were very comfortable with eachother. I had never seen my kids to accept someone so quickly even Aarav who was a bit introvert and never let his guards down against anyone, he was also very comfortable with him. The most important thing was they were having so much fun that you can feel it from there smile sounds. Finally it's 9 o'clock and Sudha and me were setting plates on dinning table. Sudha asked" Are you ok ! , you don't look good." Interrupting her words I replied " yaa I'm fine". Then she came to my side and make me to face towards her and said " look at me". Then I looked into her eyes and she said " you are strong girl from the beginning nothing can bother you if you don't want  it to bother you, so leave all the past and from today start a new and fresh". Then I smirked and said " okay, I will try my level best mam". Then we called everyone for dinner. Then they came and take seats. Our dinning table was small only for six people, and it was a rectangular table. Aditya took the centre of table and kids said " mom, we want to sit near uncle". And I said " No, you guys already troubled him so much, now let him eat properly".  After listening to me Aditya said "it's ok, I also love to spend time with your kids. Let them be". After this they both took the chair besides him. Sudha and me served food,  as per the Aditya's secretary he was a good person. He was not saying much only was busy with his phone and was discussing some works on phone on behalf of Aditya. Finally at dinner time he was free. So after serving when they looked at plates Aarav and Adwiti started shouting in joys and said " mom these are our favourite dishes, love you mom". Then I said " yes eat properly and then go to the bed". Then Adwiti said" mom, uncle is our guest you must have prepared something that uncle likes". Listening these words his secretary said  "don't worry kids, these are also the dishes  our sir likes very much". Listening these words kids got very excited and said "wow uncle we likes same type of games and foods also, uncle let's eat to the end of the earth today". After hearing these words he said " I never thought your mom remembers what I like !" Saying this he looked at me and smirked at that time Adwiti said " uncle, are you and mom are very close friends at college?" After listening those words my heart started to tremble. In other words somehow I also wanted to hear that  answer, and he answered" that, I'm not sure." Saying those things again he looked at me I didn't know but from some corner of my eyes some water started to gather, at that time Sudha said to kids " Don't talk at the time of eating and let uncle eat peacefully". Then she said to me " Smriti, please bring some sweets from kitchen, i forgot that". I understood Sudha's intention that she wanted me to take some time to wipe my tears, so I went inside the kitchen and wiped my tears and went back with sweets. Then we didn't talk much and focused on eating only kids talk to eachother, Aditya was not saying much only answered kids with yes or no. At that time I didn't had stomach to eat and I wanted  to end this dinner as soon as possible. But I didn't know that another twist also waiting for me.
