Chapter 12: A newly found bond

Papa! Little baby walked in the streets of London miserably, staring at the traffic with her tearful drenched face. Her tiny heart broken by the thought of her papa. Her grip tightened on his photo which kept hidden in her soft palm. She stood in one corner of the streets waiting for traffic to get cleared so that she can moved to other side and start her search. From past one hour she was walking aimlessly. She can't go back home as she lost the track. What if Papa came back home. But she feared by the speed of trucks and Metros passer by.

DM why you're doing this to me? You know I can't live without my papa. Pleezz pleezzz give me back my papa please!! She murmured helplessly and took a sharp breathe before running to other side without caring about the motion of the vehicles.

With closed eyes, she ran as fast as possible overcoming all the fear from her heart. But suddenly a car came at a super fast speed. Khushi could hear some heavy sound of a horn but unable to gather courage to look up. Her body went paralyzed like ice and tightly keep her tiny arms covered chanting devimaiya name. She cried hard as the tiny baby couldn't hold the disaster.

DM Plezzzz save meee..Pleaseeeee....! She was whispering to herself as the heart almost come to her throat. The vehicle move forward in a harsh speed and strike against her.

Papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''Now what we will do? If Asr returned home and ask about babyji?'' Lady servant Lata grew horrified. Since 2 hours she was banging chahat's bedroom door that was locked. By not getting any response, she call the male servant. Once he broke the door, everyone out there went terrified by not finding her anywhere.

''During his absence, She was our responsibility. How can be so careless, Lata. Why did you left her alone? Asr will definitely kill us.''

''It wasn't my fault. I tried hard to convince her but she didn't get pacified by me and continuously crying for her father. I just don't understand why Asr did not came home since last night. It was first time i do happens.''

''If Khushiji was alive today such day never arrived and our babyji would be happy with her parents. Asr is a traitor..He shouldn't cheated a pure soul..'' Lata retorted.

''Shut up! Instead of accepting your mistakes, you are blaming our boss who is giving us bread and butter..shame on you!'' Male servant, who is her husband scolded her. But she stand out for herself.

Sharam toh Asr ko ani chahiye..jis phool jaise bachii ko is duniye mein ane se pehle uske baap uski maa ke saath janwaro jaise suluk kiya..jise ekvaishya se jyada kuch nahi samjha, use uske chinta kyu hogi..? (If anyone should be ashamed, it was him. A father who treated like a animal to the mother, tag her a whore before his daughter birth, why would he cared for her now?)

Lata!!!!!!!

He gave a hard slap to her leading her to fell on the ground. How dare you talk bulshit about Asr. You have no right to comment on his personal life.

''It is very easy for you to say this because you are also a man like him and most importantly you were not present that night when he throw her out humiliating her love and trust. I had seen that innocent woman suffered day in and night in the hand of that monster. You will see one day Asr will receive his karma in the same way.

''Calm down Lata. I know Asr made mistakes but he did tried to rectify it. Didn't you saw how he taken care of her when she was mentally ill?''

''That's because she was carrying his child. Asr won't do anything without profits''.

''That's not true. He genuinely realized his mistakes. From 5 years he is getting tortured in guilt and remorse. Now he truly loves her.

His regretting not going to change anything. Damage is already done and no amount of his regret going to brought back the innocence of that girl. If Khushi ji is alive and didn't come back to him, it means she don't wish to be with him..''

''We are no one to judge their relationship. I just wanted to see smile on Babyji face and it is only possible if Khushiji returned to Asr..''

''You are right!''

*2 hours ago*

Meera shergil was feeling calm and relaxed after taking a cold shower. Her happiness is of no boundary. It happened for the very first time in 5 long years that she wanted to smile. The reason definitely is Arnav singh raizada defeat.

She comb her wet hairs taking a seat in front of mirror. But the moment she lifted her eyes and saw her posture in mirror, her anger raised it's peak. There was a small red mark on her forhead. She touch it through her finger and realized it was a blood. How this happened? Her mind run speedily and only one name came to her mind.

HOW DARE YOU ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA..YOU AGAIN PROVED YOU ARE THE MY BIGGEST ENEMY.

Present*

Meera shergil brought back to senses hearing the horn. She was so annoyed and angry on Arnav Singh Raizada deeds that made her to go for a long ride. But on her way back home, she find a small girl stuck on the road. There was a unknown pull that forced her to go and help her. However, she ran forward and and saved her on time before car may hit her.

She stared at a tiny body shaking into her arms. Her closed eyes, her delicate and innocent features. Her shivering form. The way she tightly hold her collar in the similar manner she used to do in past with Asr. She was staring her in trace. Something about her showed her mirror of the past identity of herself, of khushi. It made her anger again, very angry. Why the hell I'm thinking about that weak and brainless Khushi. She died 5 years ago and there was no one who can be stupid like her.

She thought taking a harsh breathe and furiously try to broke the contact between them but what she heard next halted her acts.

Mumma! Please mat jao.. (Don't go)

Meera went numb. Her heart burned as if someone stabbed her with knife. The thought of her dead child flashed against her.

''Mumma..please don't leab..e me...I lobe..youu..I obe you and papa..so..so..much..'' She whimpered non chantly.

''Excuse me''! She instantly recognized the owner of the voice and pushed her apart.

Tum?

Aap?

Both again came face to face. Chahat gave her a look like she has seen a ghost.

''I thought you are my..--'' Chahat stated with disappointment.

''Are you nuts? Why you're calling me mumma..Get off and don't touch me you dirty girl..'' Meera said jerking her dress which get dirty due to her clinging to her.

''Haww..You pushed me?'' (She stood up and pounced at her) ''How dare you call me dirty..You bad bad aunty..why you are following me everywhere..Are you my bodyguard..''

''Excuse me! Mind your tongue. I saved your life kiddo and you are accusing me..No one talk to me in this tone..''

''Shut up mad aunty..I am not in a mood of fighting..I am very upset, my papa went missing..''

''Oh great! Who will tolerate annoying kid like you!'' Little one against lost her cool but right now she has no time to mess with anyone. Silently she turn and began to walk.

''Hey you wait!'' Khushi dashed to her in a quick pace and pull her hand.

Are you deaf..? Where are you going? It's good i found you. Now you will understand what is the consequence of messing with Meera.. She smirk as she is in revengeful mood and decided to teach her good lesson for all those humiliation. She grabbed her hand first gently and then tightly when chahat showed resistance.

''Cho..lo mujhe..Leaabe m--ee..Bachao..HELP..he--lp..It is a crime to kidnap a kid..you bachha chor aunty..''

''Shut up..Keep your mouth shut..'' Meera lifted her into her arms like a baby and moved toward her car.

Chahat went horrified, she wanted to turned back and call anyone but Meera shut her mouth. While it is not in the nature of Chahat to stay silent. She fight back when Meera turned to put her inside her car..Small khushi quickly used a tactic, she bite the hand with her tiny teeth which Meera used to closed her mouth.

Awwwuuuuu!

Due to her sudden act, Khushi looses her grip and chahat fell from her hold making her to fell off the ground. Khushi turn to shout but went perplexed seeing her in crying state. Her limbs and elbow were badly hurt. Blood were flowing from her bruises and cut part.

''Stupid girl I told you not to struggle..see how much you get hurt! I don't understand why you're so stubborn. God knows how your mother handle your tantrum. Hearing the name of mother, Chahat start up her water tank in full force.

''I don't h-ave m-ma..'' Confessed chahat with her soft choked voice. Khushi felt her heart will explode anytime as a sudden pain across every pore of her body. How cruel this god is! She thought feeling really bad for her. Her hand itched to touch her. Her condition was unable to bear for her.

The mother in Khushi knocked for the first time. The wall finally began to broke. Though she try hard not to melt by any human emotion. But whenever she meet her, her heart wasn't in her control.

Forgetting everything, Meera completely transformed into Khushi. She went to her knees and check her taking her to her lap.

''I'm sorry I am sorry did i hurt you Beta!'' Asked khushi blowing her wounds. A concern reflect through her voice. But Poor chahat was so traumatized and in pain didn't heard what she had said. She just grip her hand and cry harder hugging her tight.

Dalrd ho laha mumma! Bahat dald ho la..ha.. (It is paining a lot) Chahat mumbled in her sub conscious state. Her head lay close to her chest and Khushi continuously pacify her like a mother. Unknowingly Meera experienced unknown connection with her. Why she is behaving like this? Even she have no idea.

''Nothing happen to you..I may failed to save my own child but i will definitely save you..'' Meera immediately drove off toward the hospital. She may not realize the relation between them but DM is happy..Too Ecstatic watching from above.

To be continued!

Precap: ''Let's make a deal, Khadoos aunty!''

''Deal? What deal?''

''You have all the qualities to be a mother. Be my fake mother for some days. For my papa sake you have to do this otherwise i will i will..send you to jail for breaching the contract''

''Contract? Are you out of your mind! I'm not going to fulfill any of your deal. Do hell with your father.Who the hell is he? I don't even know him'' She turn to go but her dupatta being held by Chahat. Meera stare her and then back her finger wich she is holding her dupatta in her grip.

''Why is she behaving like Arnav singh raizada? Why her gesture, her emotions, her gaze, her attitude, the way of her talking relate with.. Does she relate with Asr?'' Meera stare her with complete astonishment finding many resemblance of her enemy, Asr, in her.
