Part 13 - What's going to happen next?
Next morning in Kapoor Mansion,
After waking up, Peehu goes straight to Ram's bedroom.
"Papa!" Peehu called him while entering the room.
Ram got up from sleep hearing his daughter's voice.
"Good morning Rockstar '' Ram wished her rubbing his eyes. He then sat upright on the bed forwarding his hands for Peehu.
Peehu crawled on to the bed hugging him. "Good morning Papa" Peehu wished him back.
"Peehu how come you woke up so early today?" Ram was a little surprised, as he knew Peehu never wakes up early and that is the reason for being late to school most of the time.
"Offo Papa! I slept early last night and I have to open my gifts which I have not done yet." Peehu said, smiling at her father.
"Yes Peehu, why were you so sad that your teacher could not come to your birthday party last evening?" Ram asked as Peehu hardly enjoyed her birthday party.
"Papa, breaking promises is the bad thing, right?" Peehu asked with a sad face.
"Yes Peehu, it's wrong." Ram replied.
"Then why did my Miss break the promise?" Peehu again asked, looking at Ram with sad eyes.
Ram placed Peehu comfortably in his lap "Listen Peehu, I need to make you understand one thing. Miss may not be able to come whenever we invite, maybe she had some other work so that's why she could not come." Said Ram with a serious expression on his face.
"Why did she tell me that she will come to the party?" Peehu asked innocently.
"Maybe she doesn't want to upset you, that's why she said yes that time. Listen, Rockstar you love your miss that does not mean she would be able to attend all your parties. Your Miss loves you the same way she loves the entire class. It doesn't mean she will attend every function." Ram explained with calmness in his voice.
"Papa, she told me yesterday that it was her daughter's birthday too". Peehu told Ram.
"In that case, how could she come to your birthday? She had to celebrate her daughter's birthday too like you celebrate, right!" Ram raised his brows.
"Peehu, you should understand that you cannot always get the thing you want. Don't be sad and be happy now. Yesterday your miss did not come but your friends did, right? They came to celebrate the party with you." Said Ram making Peehu understand.
Peehu nodded her head in agreement.
"One more thing Peehu, this year she is your class teacher but next year another teacher will be your class teacher. Then you might not even be able to meet your miss, and then what will you do? New teachers and new friends will come in and go out of your life. The thing is you cannot hold them for too long. Dadi, Bua and I were there with you and always will be with you. Did you see how well Bua arranged your birthday yesterday and what have you done in return? You were stubborn that you will cut the cake only when your Miss comes. Bua must have felt bad. Yesterday your friends came to celebrate your birthday but you made them upset too. You were just thinking about your miss, you did not think about the people who actually came to your party." Ram made Peehu understand the things.
Peehu looks down. "Sorry papa". Peehu said apologetically. Ram smiled gently at her.
"It's ok Rockstar, we all love you and want to see you happy. So next time do not do such things, which makes your dear, and near ones sad. Got it?" Ram said.
Peehu nodded her head in positive.
"You don't even need to be angry with your Miss. Maybe she was busy celebrating her daughter's birthday. Don't get attached with your teacher too much, she won't be there with you all the time." Ram said.
Peehu sat silently looking down at her hands.
"What Peehu? Did you understand what I am saying?" Asked Ram sensing gloomy Peehu.
Peehu nodded her head a little disappointed.
"Yes papa" said Peehu softly. He knew Peehu got attached to her teacher but he knew he could not lead Peehu to be over-attached because that could cause trouble in the future.
Ram kissed on her head caressing her hairs for some time.
"Ok now go and bring your gifts. Let us see what my little princess got on her birthday". Ram tried to divert her mind.
Peehu squealed in joy. "Yay! " She jumped from his lap and ran to bring her gifts.
When Peehu was about to exit the room, Natasha entered at the same time. Peehu rushed swiftly walking past to Natasha.
"Careful, Peehu" Natasha warned. Natasha came over and sat on the bed near Ram.
"So, what was going on between father and daughter due?" asked Natasha, relaxing herself.
"Nothing, I was just making Peehu understand that there was no reason to be sad and not to get over-attached with anyone," replied Ram.
"Yes bhai, even..." Natasha stopped in midway when Peehu entered the room with her gifts and kept it on the bed.
"Wow Peehu you got so many gifts." Natasha joined with Peehu to open the gifts one by one. Ram smiled looking at Peehu, who became normal.
"Peehu did you like my gift?" asked Ram, showing excitement.
"Yes papa, that is the best gift," Peehu said joyfully.
"What gift did you get from papa, Peehu?" Natasha asked, showing equal excitement.
"Wait Bua, I will show you" Saying this Peehu ran towards her room to bring the gift.
She came back after a while with a gift box.
"Look. Papa gave me a mobile phone" Peehu shows the latest mobile phone to Natasha. Natasha mouth wide open and glared at Ram.
"Peehu go to your room and brush your teeth, Bua is coming in a minute". Natasha said strictly, as she wanted to speak with Ram alone. Peehu then left the room.
Natasha looked at Ram who was not making eye contact.
"Bhai you are spoiling Peehu. Why did you give her a mobile phone? She is a kid and we should not entertain such things. Let her play during this age, why give her mobile?" Natasha asked, looking angrily at Ram.
"Common Nutz, she is Ram Kapoor's daughter. She asked me for a smart phone so I gave her what's the big deal?" Ram retorted back and shrugged off his shoulders.
"Bhai this is not her age to play with mobile. Please bhai; do not spoil Peehu by doing all these things. Moreover, what is Peehu going to do with a mobile?" Natasha pulled out her point.
"Common, nowadays everybody is using mobile phones. Please Natasha, I know Peehu is going to use it properly and it is my choice. I will do what I feel is right." Ram said and went to freshen up. Natasha threw her hand in anger.
On the breakfast table,
"Today I am going to drop Peehu at her school; I want to meet her Miss especially who spoiled my Peehu's birthday." Ram said, gritting his teeth in anger. Natasha huffed.
"No bhai, I will drop Peehu to school and I will meet her Miss too". Natasha said looking at Ram. She knew it would not be of any good if Ram meet Peehu's teacher.
"No, this time I'm going to meet her. I am going to tell her to stay away from Peehu or else she will see my wrath". Ram was very angry. Natasha shook her head and heaved a deep sigh.
"Bhai please let me handle this. We do not even know what exactly happened and maybe it was not her fault. If it is by any chance, I will tell her to stop doing fake promises to Peehu." Natasha said sensibly.
Before Ram could say anything, his phone rang.
Ram picked up his mobile and responded to the office call before turning towards Natasha.
"I need to go to the office and look after a few emergency things. So fine, you go and talk to Peehu's teacher and make sure she stay away from Peehu as much as possible." Ram said angrily. Natasha put her hand on Ram's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Bhai. Today I will speak to her at any cost." Natasha said affirmatively.
On the other side with Priya.
Priya was very excited to meet her daughter. She finished her house chores quickly.
"I should prepare something for Peehu but I don't know what she likes." Priya said to herself.
Priya quickly recollected how much Ram likes 'Aaloo Ke Paranthe'.
"Peehu is just like her father golu-molu. I think her food habits match with her father." Said Priya with a smile on her face.
While she was preparing the food, Aryan ran into the kitchen with his small Airplane toy in his hand.
He zooms his airplane running around the kitchen.
"Aryan, why are you playing right now? Don't you need to get ready for school" Asked Priya, raising her brows.
"Mumma I want a football!" said Aryan cutely.
"We will talk about that later. Where is Amaira?" asked Priya
"She is still sleeping." Said Aryan.
"I want a football; I want a football." Said Aryan repeatedly saying that.
"Aryan not now. Go get ready and also wake up Amaira." Said Priya and started making the Parathas again.
"Mumma you make me ready." asked Aryan lazily.
"I can't right now Bacha. Mumma is busy.," said Priya and Aryan pouted
"Mumma, Mumma, Mumma, Mumma...." said Aryan pulling Priya's dress disturbing her.
"Aryan, don't disturb me. Mumma is already late. You go get ready, please." Said Priya to Aryan.
"Please Mumma." Said Aryan with his cute voice.
"Ok, Mumma is coming. First you go keep the airplane in the place, till then I will come." Said Priya washing her hands. Aryan went to keep his toy back and Priya went to Amaira who was sleeping soundly. Priya woke up Amaira after several attempts.
Aryan was playing with her earrings when Priya was making them ready.
"Aryan stop" said Priya, taking his hands off her earrings. Aryan then starts jumping and kissing Priya on her cheeks.
"Aryan Stop. You are getting naughty day by day," said Priya and Aryan giggled.
Amaira then took Priya's dairy in her hands and started flipping the pages.
"No Amaira. Keep it down. Don't touch it." Said Priya, taking the diary from her hands. Just then, a photo of Ram and Peehu flipped out of the diary. Amaira took the photo and scanned it.
"Who are they Mumma?" asked Amaira looking at the photo.
"First give it to me." Said Priya and took the photo from Amaira quickly.
"Mumma who is this baby in the photo?" asked Amaira, still clinging to the thought of the photo. Priya was confused about what to say. She paused for a moment before answering. She could not really tell who they were, so she had to make up something.
"No one. It is just a photo," Said Priya, a little distracted.
"Mumma I see you write in the diary. Why did you keep that photo in there?" asked Amaira, not giving up on the photo she saw.
"Amaira, it is already late. Now let me dress you up, come on," said Priya trying to distract Amaira's mind. Amaira as a stubborn child had not given up but Priya kept saying it was no one. Priya had to distract Amaira's mind.
"By the way what do you want to become when you grow up?" asked Priya to divert their mind.
"I want to become a teacher just like you Mumma. I will teach kids and play with them!" said Amaira, jumping with excitement.
"Wow Amaira, you want to become a teacher that's great!" said Priya cupping her cheeks. She heaved a small sigh of relief as she distracted her mind.
"What about you Aryan? What do you want to become?" asked Priya
"I want to become a businessman. I will have a big car and a big home and I will buy so many toys" said Aryan skipping around.
Memories of Ram came to Priya. Her smile stopped for a second. Aryan and Amaira looked at Priya in worry.
"Mumma, what happened?" asked Amaira. Priya looked at her worried kids.
"Nothing beta" said Priya with a faint smile. "Just remember, you can be whoever you want but be a good person when you grow up, Ok?"
They both nodded cheerfully.
"Ok, you go check if you have everything in your bag according to the time table," said Priya and the kids rushed out of the room.
Priya sat on the bed and heaved a sigh.
"Why am I over-thinking?" asked Priya to herself. Then she noticed the diary and put it back into the shelf properly.
Natasha and Peehu reached the school.
"Peehu go to your class. Bua will meet your teacher after a call." Said Natasha taking her phone out.
"Bua, don't say anything to my Miss. She is my favorite," said Peehu with a sad face. Natasha looked at Peehu and noticed how much she cared for her Miss. She smiled at Peehu.
"No Peehu, Bua just wants to speak to your Miss. I will not say anything, okay." Natasha assured Peehu putting her hand on Peehu's shoulder.
Priya reached the school and died to meet Peehu. She entered the class, kept the things on the table, and looked around the class. Her eyes are grieving to see her daughter. She became happy when she noticed Peehu entering the class.
Priya noticed Peehu is gloomy and not looking at her.
"Good Morning Peehu". Priya greeted with a warm smile. Peehu silently sat on her seat still putting her head down.
"Good morning Miss" Peehu said, looking at the desk with no enthusiasm. Gloominess was clearly written on her voice.
"Peehu how was your party?" Priya asked, expecting that she will look at her and talk to her. Peehu tightened her lips and remained silent.
"You know what Peehu, I was about to come to your party. But then I remembered an important work and I could not come to your party". Priya told Peehu but she did not budge.
"Peehu I'm so sorry. I promise you that I will never do that again. I had some urgent work and that is why I could not come to your party." Said Priya apologetically.
Just then, Natasha came and stood near the class and was shocked seeing Priya in front of her eyes.
When she saw Priya, she could feel the anger boiling through her veins. She could not believe that the person Peehu was much attached to is her own mother.
Natasha froze at her place for a few seconds before saying anything.
"Priya why are you making things up, why don't you tell her the truth?" scorned Natasha.
Priya turned around to look at the source of the voice and stood shell shocked seeing Natasha standing near the door folding her hands. Priya's eyes became teary after seeing her after a long time. Priya wanted to say something but words failed to come out of her mouth.
