Chapter 45

Siya's POV:

         The guest started retiring to their places. I send them off, all the while trying to cope up with my throbbing head. I never looked into Arjun's eyes not even once. I didn't wanted to.

     Didn't I deserve to know at least about his health? He always kept me in darkness and blindfolded me to know him. His secrets..... God, I was fed up.

         He tried to talk to me but caught up with some work, thanks to God because right now I wasn't in the mood to face him. If I did, I would end up ruining his day. I just want him to be happy.

              I told dad to rest and he took Ariya with him. After changing to my nightware, I tried my best to sleep before Arjun comes then heard a knock. Luckily it was my dad, Ari was wide awake and stretching her hands for me to take her.

         I took my baby from dad, he told me she was asking for me and left to his room. I put her on the bed and rested my head on the cot board. Suddenly she climbed on me and hugged my neck.

        "What happened Ari?" She looked at me when I asked her and tried to remove her dress. May be she wasn't comfortable.

            I undressed her from her nightdress leaving her only with her nappy and turned to bring her some other night ware before that she hugged me again snuggling close to my neck.

    "Maa..." She called me mom. She used to call me this when her love for me erupts like volcano at times. And I wanted her now desperately.

      "My baby..." I hugged her cottony soft skin which was more delicate than the petals of roses and jasmine. She calmed my raging heartbeat and brought the mom in me to pamper her, I sighed and kissed her.

         "You know exactly when I get upset, don't you?" I asked her. She rested her cheek on mine and rubbed my other cheek with her baby palms.

      Skin to skin contact! It's a magic felt only between a mother and her child which supplies immense relaxsation and a feeling of safety. My daughter was giving me that now making me feel tranquilized.

     "Tell me Ari, what's your dad  hiding from me. Do you know? I'm scared now baby... I can't explain in words. I stopped nagging your dad about his past and your grandparents but don't I deserve to know his health status? Am I that worthless Ari? Why don't he trust me?" I rested my forehead on her's and let my silent tears fall on its accord.

         "No...ci...maa!" she wiped my tears and kissed my cheek wetting it with with her drool. She made her face when she tasted little of my salty tears making me laugh looking at her expression.

     I started rocking her back and forth in my arms.

Me: "My lollipop!"

Ari: "Awww aww..." ... Ari told while playing with my braid,That was her way of saying yes.

Me: "My whipped cream!"

Ari: " Aww...Aww..." She told rubbing her eyes.

Me: "My caramel cake!"

Ari: "Aww.." She told yawning.

Me: "My priceless treasure!" There was no response from her so I looked down at her angelic face she was asleep leaning on my chest like an angel she is.

     "You are indeed my treasure Ariya!" I kissed her pout and snuggled her close to sleep, pulling the quilt over us.

            Suddenly a thought swept my mind, isn't Ariya a lot more mature for her age? Hell, she's actually an eleven months old baby but behaves a way more advanced than her age.

               Without wasting a second I called Sherya, she picked it in the last ring "Hello.." I heard her sleepy voice. "I'm so sorry Sherya, I know, I'm disturbing you but please fix the appointment for Ariya to the doctor you suggested in the very morning and please do it for me. I have to meet him tomorrow." I spoke to her trying to subside my fear.

            "Are you crazy pakki (idiot), you called me now to fix an appointment. You should have sent a message (yawning)... Anyways I'll do it and be there at sharp eleven in the morning. I'll text you the address tomorrow." She told a bit irritated.

                 " Thank you Sherya and I'm sorry." I apologized.
   
                "Fine, but don't ever call me again at these hours my husband is sleeping and I don't want him to doubt me. Good night! " with that she put down the call.

           Doubt her? Thank God my Arjun was never like these men.

      After ten minutes, Arjun entered our room and went straight to the restroom after changing, he climbed on the bed getting into the quilt. He hugged both me and Ari with his strong arms. I pretend sleeping waiting for him to sleep.

            "This is one of the best day of my life baby, you changed my life completely. I'm happy like a normal person and I love you. Love you more than anything else in the world." He told looking at my face, I could easily find out, even though my eyes were closed.

            "I would never let you go!" With that he kissed my forehead.

                 I turned to look at him after he slipped into a deep peaceful slumber unlike me. He was shirtless I traced his upper body, he was fine. I then kept my head on his chest and listened his heartbeat, it was beating. Then I tested his breathing with my fingers and he breaths normally.

            "What's your problem Arjun? I know it's serious, if it's a simple issue, you wouldn't think that I would leave you? I'm scared. Scared of losing you. Please tell me.... Please trust me.... I'll never leave you like you think. Instead, I'll definitely stand by your side and support you." I spoke to his sleeping self and hugged him tight.

Next day:

      Arjun was so tensed today because of an important deal. I don't wanted to panic him moreover didn't tell him about Ariya's appointment with the doctor.

        I took ten armed bodyguards for our security and left our mansion dad has go to his house and also I didn't wanna disturb him. I need some alone time.

          We reached the clinic in time and finally got into the doctor's cabin only to get shocked.

    Mani Uncle!

          "Hello...I.. Siya, What are you doing here?" He questioned me equally shocked.

      "I...ah... Uncle Sherya suggested you for my daughter." I told him still in the state of surprise.

      "Yeah... She called me and told about her friend's visit but I didn't know it was you." He told me honestly.

       "Neither do I, Uncle." I told him looking at Ari, while she gave me a bewildered look.

             "Small world. Anyways take your seat dear. How's Krishana and where's Arjun?" He asked me.

        " Thank Uncle, dad's fine. Arjun has got an important meeting today and I don't wanna disturb him." I told him with a smile.

       "That's great, now tell me what's wrong with Ariya?" He asked me.

            " I....I feel she's too much for her age. She's very active and very intelligent uncle I don't know how to explain. Other kids of her age were still calm and crying for silly things. But my daughter understands everything. I mean... Her love for us is visible. I feel she's hyper active." I told after taking a seat, Ari tried to take the pen stand from his table but I got hold of her hands. "Baby don't stay quiet." I glared at her while she gave me a bored expression.

          "Hahah... Is that so. I don't think she's hyper Siya. Give her to me." With that he tried to take Ari from my arms but she hesitated and hugged me.

         "OK fine, sit in your mom's lap and let's talk to your mom first, sweetie." He told and and looked at me.

      "Give me an exact example that why do you feel her over active?" He questioned me again.

          "Uh...like... Last night I was very upset uncle but the way she comforted me was beyond her thinking for a baby. She used to call me by my name but last night she called me Maa... And she used to call me that whenever I'm upset. How could she be so thoughtful when other babies of her age were playing with their toys?" I told him worried.

       He passed me a smile and gave a pink bunny to Ari, she squealed happily but before taking it from his arms looked at me for permission. I nodded my head and my daughter took it from him very happily.

       Then he gave her a paper and pensil she started scribbling on that in the name of drawings. At last he gave her a puzzle but instead of solving that she started throwing stuffs in air and started laughing.

     "Do you have Arjun's pictures?" He asked me and I gave him my phone. When he showed that to Ari she started to introduce Arjun to uncle as "Achhu...!" Pointing at the screen.

      "She's not hyper Siya, she's just a healthy brilliant baby girl attached to her parents so emotionally. And that's because of you and Arjun. Tell me something.. Do Arjun used to talk to when you were pregnant?" He told me.

         "Yeah... A lots. Most particularly during my last trimester, he used to speak to Ari as if she hears him." I told chuckling and hit my baby's head playfully.

             "That's it. So it's clear. Do you think your daughter didn't listed her father's words? She did. And that's the result of what she is now.

         She's not at all hyper but just loves you and her dad immensely. You should be happy about her also please stop panicking.

            About her comforting you and the way she behaves with Arjun was the result of her blood line. Take you, you don't have your mother, all life you strived for your mom and the thirst for your mom is filled in every cell of your body. So naturally she has got that trait too... Ari loves her mom a lot and she can't see her Siya in pain. Simple!

        Now take Arjun,  He's a person who loves his family with everything but unfortunately his life was no better than a horrible nightmare until he meets you... OK, leave it. Ariya is a cell from her father so she loves her family, I mean you and her dad with no limits.

         You don't have to worry Siya, trust me. Your daughter is an angel you can take her home." I left the breath I was holding unknowingly. My daughter was normal and I couldn't be more thankful to God.

          But the one sentence he told killed the hell out of me... *but unfortunately his life was no better than a horrible nightmare until he meets you...*

     What happened?

      Why was he saying like that?

        I thanked Mani uncle and left the cabin my steps were heavy and my something blocked my throat. I closed his cabin door slowly and my eyes caught the letters under his name board P S Y C H O L O G I S T.

        Was Arjun suffering from a psychological problem?
 
            "It's now or never Siya because Arjun would never open his mouth about his past and his secrets. Go to Mani uncle. Only he can help you." Screamed my brain.

    That's correct.

        I ran back into the cabin and sat on the chair opposite to his table.

       "What do you wanna know now Siya? " he asked me with a warm smile.

      I sighed and told him " Arjun!"

      "I wanna know about my Arjun." The moment I told him that his smile vanished.

     But I'm not gonna get back today. I have to know about him and I would, definitely.

_______________

   PRECAP - "He was crushed under a rock in front of Arjun, all Arjun's screams and cries fell on deaf ears." I couldn't stop crying. Oh my God...
