Chapter 34
It's been a week since I've started to get a continuous headache. Sometimes I want to take off my head from my body and keep it away until I feel good, but it's not possible. No wonder why human mind thinking immortal things.
Claire made her visit two days once. She is so fond of sweety, She even asked me to take Sweety out with her which I gladly accepted. But when they returned to my apartment, she said she never going to have children, not anytime soon. Her face reaction was hilarious.
I shook my head and flipped the page one by one and marked the round with my pencil where I found the errors, let them correct it later, not in the right mind to correct the bug.
Suddenly, Sweety's voice got my attention. Don't tell me she is here but sound like real. I get up from my seat and opened the door to find any trace of her but no, she is not here.
I glanced at my wristwatch to find it had 3 in the evening. Miss. Jaden would have picked her up from school. I twisted my lips, maybe I missed her already.
When I was about to close my door, I heard her voice again. This time I could clearly figure out from where the source is coming, it's none other than the next door, the devil himself.
Losing all my patience, I stormed into his office and saw Sweety and Karen were playing around the table, besides he is sitting on his chair, his face was buried between his palm, his eyes closed shut. Annoyance is clearly written over his face.
"You two." He gained their attention. "I said don't make noise. If you behave, I will buy you ice cream." He tried his best to control his anger and partially won.
"But I want chocolate now!" Sweety pouted her lips causing me to furrow my brows. When did they become closer? Where I missed to notice?
"You already ate three. I think that's enough." He sternly told her like scolding his own child.
"What? Three.." Three pairs of eyes looked at my direction. "Mommy!!" She held her hand up and ran towards me. Instead of stretching my hand, I folded my arms against my chest and looked down at her with a narrow eye.
"How many times do I want to remind you of hooking with strangers?" I directly throw my question at my soon to be four years old kid.
I don't care where I am. If it had anything related to my child I will prefer the side of my motherhood than the employee position, that doesn't matter if I'm standing between thebunch of peoples or the CEO of this company.
"But she is with me, I'm not a stranger." Karan drew Sweety closer to him and held his hand challenging me with his stern look which he got from his uncle.
"What is this for?" I narrowed my eyes directly towards Kayish who has a smirk plastered on his face which anytime soon wiped off from his face.
"It's her decision to come over with her friend. I have nothing to do with this." He shrugged his shoulders.
"I heavily doubt it. If other kids came along with your nephew for taking your nerve, will you be given them the same answer? Is it office or daycare?" I raised my brows.
Cat caught his tongue.
"My mom couldn't able to take care of me, so uncle suggested to come to his office after school. I want sweety with me too." His face dropped.
Rachel...She is pregnant. Maybe that's the reason why she couldn't be able to attend full care of him. I felt pity for this young boy.
Now I don't know what to do? Whether I could drag Sweety away from him or let her play with her friend along with this devil? 'Just one day.' my inner mind answered for my question.
"Okay.." I patted his head and gave him one stern look before turning the doorknob to leave. He coughed lightly and took the water bottle from his table.
"Mommy... Mommy!!" Sweety called my name.
"Yes, baby?" I kneeled to her size.
"Karan is going to have his baby brother soon to play with him. I want one too." She pouted her lips once again making me caught off guard.
He almost spits his water when he heard what she said. His eyes widen and had a horrible expression on his face like mine.
"I.. I... will buy you later." I managed to convince her.
Ohh, God!! Why in front of him. I bit my lips feeling highly embarrassed of myself, the situation I was into.
"Promise?" She asked once again to confirm.
I nodded my head not finding proper words to convince her. Now I regret why I have a terrible gene running into my system and why it passed to my daughter.
In the corner of my eyes, I could see he was smirking looking all the way into me. I throw him one of my hard glare before stormed out of his office.
Later, Miss. Jaden called me when she didn't find Sweety anywhere. I assured her that she was with me and hung the phone up. Poor woman, she nearly gets a heart attack.
---
Again one week passed but the throbbing headache is not leaving my side a bit. Sweety is not helping though, she was kept asking me to give her a baby brother and I found different excuses to escape from her, every day.
Speaking of her, I heard her voice from the next door. He kept them under his watch. It has become their regular routine as to come over after their school and I couldn't control her, so I gave up. After all, she is under my care too.
Sometimes I noticed him adore Sweety while she was not looking at him. It slightly bothered my heart but I kept that thought at the back of my mind not wanting to add more fuel into my already throbbing head.
As usual, I entered into his room to pick Sweety but there I saw Rachel talking with his brother. He raked his hair through his fingers before he said. "I don't know." From his statement, I could easily sense that he was tensed over a matter. Maybe they were discussing their family issues.
It's none of my concern.
And when I thought to ignore their conversation and took one step further to call Sweety, I heard her voice that sent chill down into my spine. They are not discussing their family issues, it's all about my little family.
"Come on, just a DNA. It won't change anything, rather, you will get your answer. Look at her." She pointed towards Sweety who was playing happily with Karen.
"She has your aura and the same blue orbs. Any blind people could easily say she is yours." My heart started to thunder inside my chest.
How could it's possible... My inner mind already warned me that Rachel has a suspicion about Sweety's dad. She seemed not to convinced when I told her he was dead.
When I felt their glance towards my direction, I entered casually pretending that I'm just entering and gave Rachel a side hug.
"Hey, Riya!!" She said nervously.
"Hi, Rachel! Long time to see. How's the baby doing?" I asked normally, ignoring my pounding heartbeat.
"They are twins." My heart clenched when I heard the word 'twins.' It seems someone squeezing my heart with their bare hands.
I covered my mouth when I felt nausea and ran towards the small door which I assume was a bathroom.
I throw up whatever content inside my stomach and emptied all. "Hey!" He rubbed my back and gave me a water. I shoved his hand away and literally hurried my way out of the bathroom and held a firm grip on Sweety's hand.
"Sorry, I.. we're leaving," I said counting my every word carefully not enough to hurt her.
"Are you okay?" She asked concern is evidence in her voice.
"Yeah! I'm fine." My voice shuttered.
"No, you are not. I will drop you." He offered like a gentleman. Giving him a final glare, I dragged sweety along with me to the parking lot and helped her to get inside our car before drove the car to my apartment. My heart is hurting like a bitch.
"Mommy, are you okay?"
I nodded my head and focused on the road. 'Twins' the word still has an effect on me.
The next day, I lost all my patience and scolded Sweety when she asked me a baby and I even warned her to go with Miss. Jaden after school.
I feel very bad for losing my temper especially with her. I act strangely these days. I put my face between my palms and thought for a moment. Maybe today I will take her to the park.
I handed the file to Juliet after checking thoroughly each and every page which need to present in front of the client. At 3.30 we have a meeting with Mr. Jonnah, our important client.
I glanced at the wall clock, it shows 3 in the evening. My mind dragged me to Sweety and her saddened face. I let out a long sigh and walked towards the elevator to attend the meeting.
"What happened to you?" Kayish panicked voice made me turn my head towards him. My heart shuttered when I saw Karan's white shirt which was soaked nothing but the red color which I assumed was blood.
Ohh! God!! What happened to him.
My legs voluntarily carried me towards him and I fell down when I heard his next words. "Sweety got an accident."
My baby. What happened to her?
---
I don't know how I ended up here in the hospital leaning on the wall praying for Sweety's life.
Juliet, Kayish, Rachel, and Karan is staying with me for the past one hour. Juliet is always my side, smoothening nothing but sweet words for my comfort.
When Miss. Jaden went to pick her up from school, she tried to ran away and crossed the road. The car hit her when the driver failed to put the sudden brake on time. I can't blame her, it's part of my mistake too.
The doctor who performed the surgery to Sweety came out and I ran towards him. "How is my baby?" I clutched his hand hoping to hear good news. I know I am a crying mess but who cares. All I wanted to hear my baby is okay.
He stayed silent for the second before letting out a loud breath. "We need 48 hours to declare the statement. She had lost lots of blood." He gave me an apologetic look and walked past me.
Blood... Blood...
Everywhere I saw blood. My baby's blood. I can't lose her. Once again, today I lost my temper and charged towards him.
"It's all happened because of you. Our life was smooth before you came." I grabbed his collar and hit his chest. He didn't flinch, either stopped me. "We were good until you came." I cried until my leg gave up making me fall onto the ground.
I'm scared out of my shit. What if I lost my baby? "I lost my peaceful life, I lost her. You killed her. You killed your own flesh, you jerk!!!!" I screamed out of agony.
I slapped my hand over my mouth when I realized what I told him. He was stunned, speechless and shocked the moment he realized what I meant.
