Back to them guy's❤️

Karan had two more matches and only left with 8 days more to live in Delhi.One match was after 2 days and the last one was after next 3 days of that match.

It was not about the match that was  bothering him.he had another responsibility over him, to convince her and he had thought of extending his stay here if required.

It was killing him from inside thinking how to make her understand that he was guilty and truly wanted her back into his life.

He knew she would not get convinced that easily.But he too had confidence in him that he would take her along.

He had an off day and currently he was heading towards aarush's school.He had called sherlyn and informed her that he will pick up mishti.The main intention of him was to meet aarush as yesterday he was asleep and couldn't meet him.To hear his sweet voice.

He smiled thinking how just in some days he got attached to him and wanted to see him daily.

Parking his car aside he came out from the car and went inside.As he came 10 mins early the classes had not yet been completed,so he sat there in the ground on the bench near the tree.

When the bell rang, children came running out from the classroom.The happiness of going home from the school is different.karan smiled watching them and looked for mishti and aarush.

Not finding them near.He thought to check on them in their classes itself.As he took some steps forward he stopped and smiled seeing mishti.

She saw him showing her big eyes in surprise and ran towards him happily.

"Chachuu"He immediately picked her up smiling at her.

"Apne mujhe bataya nahi,mujhe pick karne wale ho"she asked surrounding her arms around his neck giving a broad smile.

"Toh apko surprise kaise deta?"he said holding her chin and grinned in return.

"You are best the chachu"she squealed kissing his cheek.

"Mishu aarush ko dekha?"karan asked her not finding him yet.

"Nahi!He is not my classmate chachu"she reminded him.

"I know that,bahar ate wakt kahi dekha kya?"he enquired.

She shook her head in no looking around.Karan nodded and made her stand.

"Chalo usse dekhte ha"he said heading towards his class.

He knew preeta would be half an hour late to pick him up as usual and he would get some time to spend with him.

"Lekin aap usse kyu dund rahe hai?"she asked confusingly.

"Because he is your 'Little brother' "karan mentioned her with a bright smile on his face.

Mishti's eyes widened in excitement listening to him "sachii?"she asked him back not able to control her happiness.

"Yes babygirl,aur mein sab tumhe bataunga abb usse dhundte hai chalo"mishti nodded in return and they entered his class.

His eyes dropped at a boy sitting on his bench with a pencil in his hand and he was writing something in the book with a full concentration.

But it made karan worried seeing his saddened face.He instantly approached him and gained his attention.

"Hey"aarush looked at him hearing his voice and a bright smile crep his face looking at karan and mishti beside him.

"Hii handsome friend"aarush smiled seeing him in his classroom.

"Kya kar rahe ho tum yaha,school already khatam hogaya hai right?"he asked pulled his cheeks cutely.

"Mamma late ati hai na"he whispered sadly and looked down.

Karan face fell listening to him.He couldn't see his saddened face which peirced his heart.

"Mamma busy rehti hai toh isliye late aati hai,so tab tak aap mere saath rahenge come"he said and was about to close his book that something caught his attention which drowned his heart in guilty.

There was a drawing in his book named family and there were 3 figures named mom,dad and aarush in middle.He smiled with moist eyes holding it in his hands staring the page kneeely.

He had drawn them with some lines,but still it felt realistic and had a beautiful meaning.

"Ye meine banaya,ye papa,mamma aur ye mein hu"aarush pointed at the figures overjoyed.

"Wow"mishti said signing him beautiful with her hands and aarush smiled in return.

Karan kissed his both cheeks and smiled at him lostly seeing the Jem of his life infront of him.

"App mere dad ko kab mere pass leke aaoge,aapne kaha tha aap unhe jante hai"aarush asked him eagerly.

Karan gulped and picked him up in his arms feeling sad.

"Mishu, aarush ka bag pack Karo"he said to her and diverted his gaze back to aarush heading outside the class.

After packing his bag mishti followed him and gave his bag to karan.He held with the other hand and walked forward towards a bench under the tree.

"Sit here"he made aarush sit on his lap placing his bag beside.whereas Mishti took the mobile from his pocket and giggled sitting beside Karan.

Aarush saw her and then at karan.Karan made him look and again lingered his lips on his forehead with love.

How much he was dying to tell him that the person who was holding him in his embrace was his father whom his son was desperate to meet.

"Aap mujhe please thoda aur time denge mein pakka unhe leke aaunga"karan pleaded making puppy eyes.

But aarush looked down which made karan sad.

"Papa hamse nahi milna chahte hai na.Woh mujhe aur mamma ke pass nahi ayenge"he said lowly showing his lower lip slightly staring his hand.

Karan drowned listening to him and the pain in his heart was growing with his low voice thinking how much he was craving for his father.

"Ye apko kisne bataya,apke papa apse bohot pyaar karte hai,They want to meet you as soon as possible"he said hugging him tightly.

Aarush moved back from him and shook his head "mama kehti hai papa ko hamse nahi milna hai, isliye woh hamse durr rehte hai.Woh hamse pyaar nahi karte hai..app jhoot bol rahe hai na"he asked him back lowering his beautiful eyes.

Karan shut his eyes feeling pang of emotions rushing through him and was unable to listen to these words from his little ones.

"Nahi aaru! Meine apse kaha na mamma papa se gussa hai isliye aapse aisa kaha hoga gussa me.Lekin papa mumma ko manane ki koshish kar rahe hai toh woh jaldi apse milenge and I promise you"he held his hand and assured him.

"Aap unse kehna ki mein unhe bohot Miss karta hu.Mujhe unke saath khelna hai"aarush smiled happily and hugged him.karan smiled heartily listening to him.

"Yes! don't worry mein unhe jaldi aapke pass leke aaunga okay..now smile"karan said ruffling his hair.

"Aaj mere friend ne kaha,uske papa usse daily bike mein ghoomi-ghoomi leke jate hai .Lekin mere papa nahi hai aur hamare paas bike bhi nahi hai.mamma aur mein sirf walky karte hai"aarush informed him with a pout.

Karan raised his eyebrows listening to him and every word leaving his mouth was making him drown in guilt which made him feel he had made a crime depriving him from the love of family and a happy childhood.

He was cursing him every second for everything he did to his love and their sign of love.He didn't even know in his dreams that he was a father of child and there was life growing inside her when he left her all alone to bear with only pain he had given to her breaking her heart, not trusting her.

He wanted to scream infront the world saying he was his dad.he was the only person his other half soul was craving for.

"apko bike pe Jana hai?"he asked holding his little face in his palms.Aarush instantly nodded at him with excited eyes.

Karan chuckled at his excitement and made him stand on the bench.

"Toh chalo aapko bike ride karate hai..I mean ham aaj bike mein ghoomi-ghoomi karenge..what say?"karan asked him shaking his head doubling his anticipation.

But instantly aarush''s face fell and he pouted sadly which made karan confused.

"Kya hua?aap fir se sad?"karan questioned.

"Mumma ne warn kiya tha ki aapse mein baat na karu.lekin mein bhul gaya tha abb mamma mujhse baat nahi karengi"aarush said with puppy eyes.

Karan got shocked listening to him.How can she restricted him from talking.Small children take everything in mind and remember clearly.He Cannot let this happen and to fill his son's mind against his own father.

"Aapki mamma ko mein dekhunga,aise kaise keh sakti hai woh.aapko mujhse baat karna accha nahi lagta kya?"karan asked him.

"Nahi mujhe aap bohot pasand ho"aarush replied sweetly bringing smile on karan's lips.

"Toh bas chalo aur mamma ko mein bata dunga ki aap mere saath ho"karan informed him.

"Hum kaha jayenge?"aarush asked him overjoyed.

"My boy!aap jaha bologe waha!bike mein"karan said picking him up and his bag.

"Yeah"aarush hugged him happily and kept his chin on karan's shoulder.

"Mishu"he called her who was taking pictures of her school like a photographer.Karam chuckled at her and called her again.

She reached them and wore her bag handling him his phone.

"Aap na mujhe aarush ke saath khelne nahi dete bas usse baat karte rehte ho"mishti complained smiling at aarush.

"Arey apko bataya na,aapki chachi mujhe  aarush se baat karne nahi deti toh abb baat kar raha tha.jab ye hamare saath hoga toh aap din bhar iske saath khelna"karan explained her while aarush lifted his head and looked at karan with his twinkling eyes.

Karan thought he listened to him and there may be questions in his Little curious mind.But he diverted him and thought to call preeta to inform her that he was taking him.

"Hello"preeta recived as she didn't saved his number yet.

"Preeta woh actually! aarush ko mein bahar leke ja raha tha,toh please don't worry I will bring him back by Evening" he informed her in one go and exchanged his glance with aarush who was looking at him curiously waiting for his mom's permission.

"Aarush..Tum usse kahi nahi leke jaoge! and how dare you to manipulate him.I am coming to pick him up.You can leave"she warned in a rasped tone.Karan closed his eyes listening to her and spoke when she got silent.

"I am not asking your permission babydoll.I was Just informing you that I want to spend some time with my son.So don't worry about him."He stated and cut the call not wanting to listen to her as he knew she won't allow even after asking many times.

Preeta huffed as he cut the call.She was about to leave from school to pick him up that she got his call.

"I won't leave him!kya samjhta hai khudko.How many times should I mention him he is only mine.My son!"she whispered angrily.

"Shayad meine tumhe sach bata ke galti kardi,mujhe kehna hi nahi chahiye tha"she scolded herself moving back towards the staffroom.

.

.

Karan took them home and picked aarush in his arms while going inside.

"Ye aapka Ghar hai na,ham ghoomi-ghoomi nahi jayenge?"aarush asked him looking around.

"Jayenge na pehle aap kuch kha lo,Tab tak mein apke liye new dresses leke aaunga aur ham baad mein jayenge"Karan told him.

"New dress?"aarush asked with big doe-eyes.karan nodded and kissed his chubby cheek in return.

"Chachu mujhe bhi"mishti shouted from behind.

"Yes tumhe bhi babygirl"karan replied and entered inside the door.

"Mammaa"mishti called while throwing her bag on the sofa and ran inside the kitchen.

"Aayii mishu"sherlyn shouted from inside and came outside as mishti dragged her outside.

"Mumma jaldi aao,dekho kon aya hai"mishti pointed towards aarush and smiled at her.

As sherlyn came outside her eyes fell on  a little boy in karan's arms looking here and there cutely.She got to know who he was and instantly moved towards them.

"Oh my god! karan tum aarush ko leke aaye"she squealed excitedly and smiled at him.

"aaru dekho ye apki badi mom hai..say hi"karan said.

Aarush glanced at her and then at karan confusingly.

"Badi mom?"he asked curiously.

"Yes!aur mishti hai na woh apki big sister hai"he explained him.

Aarush still saw him confusingly because he never knew about family and all relationships in them.His life was just surrounded with his mother and him.

"Aap jab bade honge na tab pata chalega abb woh sab chodo aur mere pass aau"sherlyn said to him and forwarded her hands to pick him.

Aarush glanced at karan and when he signed him to go.Aarush smiled at her and went towards her.

"Aww bilkul tumhari tarah hai karan..he is so cute"sheryn kissed his cheek smiling at him.

"Woh toh hai!aur dimples bhi"karan chuckled at her pulling aarush cheeks.

"Mumma aur chachu aap mujhe bhul gaye?"Mishti came after changing her dress holding her toys.

"Aapko kaise bhul sakte hai madam"karan approached and held her hand.

"Kya apko pata tha ki ye apki big sister hai??"Sherlyn asked him.

Aarush shook his head in no eyeing her.

"Woh apki sister hai baby!,aur ye apka family hai"karan said picking him back making him understand.

"Kaise? mumma ne kaha tha hamare family mein bas mein aur mamma hai"aarush asked him confusingly.

"Karan tum bhaitho mein kuch khane ko lati hu"sherlyn said went towards kitchen.

"Arey meine kaha tha na mumma sabse gussa hai toh!woh apko nahi batayi.Aur aap mumma ko puchna mat woh gussa hogi fir se"karan tried to make him understand and aarush nodded in return taking his words.

"Lekin ye aapka Ghar hai na,aur hum yaha kyu nahi rehte sab ke saath aur mere papa kaha rehte hai?"aarush asked him sadly.

"Aarush apke papa mere chachu hi toh hai"mishti said immediately.

Karan widened his eyes and signed mishti to not say anything further.

Aarush looked at him surprisingly with big eyes.Whereas karan shook his head in no.

"Aaru batao aapko kaise papa chahiye?I mean apko kaise pasand hai?"karan diverted his mind.

Aarush thought for a while and smiled at him.

"Aapke jaise,aap bohot acche ho"aarush pointed at him showing his dimple cheeks.

Karan hugged him emotionally and kissed his forehead fluttering in happiness listening to him.He felt blessed listening to him.Atleast he was able to win his sons heart at the first phase.

"Sach mein?aap mujhe utna pasand karte ho?"karan asked making himself comfortable on the sofa.

"Yes!I love you handsome friend"aarush kissed his cheek bringing a bright smile on karan's face.

"Ye handsome friend nahi apke 'papa' hai aarush?"sherlyn came from behind and said sitting beside aarush.

"Bhabhi nahi..preeta ko accha nahi lagega"Karan instantly protested her lowering his gaze.

"Kyu nahi lagega!karan you should tell him everything.He can be the reason for her to forgive you easily.Tum samjh rahe ho na mein kya keh rahi hu"sherlyn asked him.

Karan thought for a while and nodded in return.Sherlyn shook her head in dismay and continued.

"Trust me everything will be okay! don't be in guilt again.Tum aise rahoge toh she will never come back to you.Tumhe aarush ko batana hi hoga"she Stated.

"I know and this time I don't want any mistakes from my side.I don't want to break her heart again and those tears in her eyes"he said staring aarush.

"Aap mere papa hai?"aarush asked suddenly in shock listening to them .

Karan couldn't stop himself more nodded in return with moist eyes and hugged him tightly.Aarush widened his eyes and lifted his head from him.

"Sacchi?toh phir mamma ne kyu nahi bataya?"aarush asked and got up from him standing infront of him.

Karan looked at him and tried to hold him.But aarush moved back sadly.

"Aaru kyu ki mumma papa se bohot gussa hai aapne uss din dekha na ki mamma mujhe andar nahi ane de rahi thi aur aapko mujhse baat karne se bhi mana kiya hai na..woh isiliye ki woh papa se bohot gussa hai"karan said and kneeled down to his level holding his face in his palms with moist eyes.

"Papa ne mamma ko bohot hurt Kiya hai baby.Meine isliye nahi bataya kyu ki mujhe laga aap bhi mujhse baat nahi karoge aur mujhse gussa hoge.Please aap bhi mujhse gussa mat hona.Mein mamma ko mana lunga aur ham sab saath mein rahenge.Mein aapse aur mamma se bohot pyaar karta hu sach mein.I am sorry aaru"karan explained with moist eyes and prayed for god to make aarush believe.

Aarush thought for while still digesting his words and took his lower lip out.

"Aapko mujhe abhi papa kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai,Jab mamma permission degi tabhi kehna and I will wait for that"karan stated and chuckled sadly lowering his gaze.

Aarush wiped his lone tear which was about to fall and hugged him surrounding his tiny hands around his neck.

"Papa..don't cry"aarush said with a smile.Whereas karan's heart skipped a beat listening to him.It sounded so melodious to his ears and that sweet voice of his made uncountable emotions to rush through him.

He hugged him tightly and smile in tears seeking peace in his Little arms.A smile didn't left karan's face after listening to him and his heart which was fluttering in happiness.

"Say..say it again"karan asked cupping his face.whereas aarush smiled at him in return and the happiness of knowing his father was clearly visible on his handsome face.

"Papa"karan immediately kissed his whole face with love,at last lingering his lips on his forehead he again hugged him and closed his eyes.

"My Baby"he whispered holding him close not wanting to leave him anytime soon.

Mishti's claps brought him back from the trance and she immediately hugged both of them.

Karan smiled in return and lifted his head to look at them.

"Toh aapne mujhse pehle kyu nahi kaha mein mamma ko mana leta"aarush said to him.

"Lekin maama aise thodi manegi.Woh kya hai na papa ne mamma ko bohot hurt Kiya hai toh woh sirf papa ke manane ke baad hi manengi"karan said pulling his chin.

"Lekin aap mamma ko manane ki koshish karna aarush"sherlyn suggested to him with a smile.

"Haan aap dekhna mamma maan jayengi"aarush said excitedly.

Karan chuckled in return and nodded.

"Okay ham dono milkar mamma mana lenge"karan said and did a hi-fi.

Aarush nodded and again hugged him happily.He then continued with his rail of questions to karan about them and why he didn't met him before.wereas karan patiently answered him everything and aarush was nodding like a good child.

Even he showed him their pictures they took during college days.It made Aarush smile seeing their parents old pictures.Karan even showed him their family picture and told him about everyone in their family and informed that they live in Mumbai.

After sometime got ready and karan took both mishti and aarush outside.

~

Preeta was walking here and there waiting for aarush.It was 7 in the evening and she was getting impatient to see him.

It was not about his safety.She knew that she can trust karan with that in case of aarush.Still she didn't liked it and was angry on karan for taking him.

She had called him before 10 minutes and he had informed her that they were on the way.

She came out of her trance hearing the doorbell and rushed to open it knowing who it must be.

"Aaru"she signed in relief seeing him standing infront of the door.

"Mamma"aarush hugged her knees with a bright smile on his face entering inside.

But preeta got angry seeing him in new clothes and the toys he was holding in his hands.

"Aaru ye sab dress aur toys kisne diye tumhe, aise kisise nahi lete..aur meine apse kya kaha tha?"she asked showing her big eyes.

Aarush moved back and pouted at her.

"Hi babydoll"karan came from behind and smiled at her.

"Hii"mishti approached her and stood beside aarush.

"Hii"preeta slightly smiled at Mishti and then furiously glared at karan.

"Mumma ye sab mujhe papa ne diya hai"aarush said smiling widely showing her big car that he took and some other toys.

Whereas preeta saw him shockingly and then glanced at karan as fire ignited in her listening to what her son called him.

"Kon papa,yaha koi papa nahi hai aarush aur sab unhe vaps karo.Ham dusra lenge kal"she burst on him and angrily took them from aarush's hands.

"Preeta"karan stopped her immediately holding her hand.But preeta jerked his hand and kept the toys in his hands.

"No thanks!wait for 2 minutes mein iske dress bhi nikal ke de dungi"saying she picked aarush in her arms who was in tears already.

"Preeta stop it.look at his face"karan tried to stop her but she moved past him.

"It's none of your business and don't touch me"she warned him firmly and took aarush inside their bedroom and made him stand on the bed.

Karan said mishti to sit there and she  nodded instantly.

Aarush was silently standing with tears in his eyes as she took his toys and now she was even giving his new dress back.Her serious and angry mood made him stay silent and he was just standing there without uttering a word.

"Mumma no"aarush said moving back.

"Aaoge ya nahi, aaru I am warning you jaldi aao"she scolded him angrily holding his hand.

She was getting angry for many reasons and now the victim of her mood was her son.Aarush Never saw her this much angry which made him sob silently now.

"Preeta what is this? Kya kar rahi ho tum?"karan reached her and held aarush.

"I said Leave him.This is all because of you"preeta shouted at karan and pulled aarush immediately towards her.

"Toh mujhpe gussa Karo,Tum usse kyu dant rahi ho?rula Rahi ho tum usse"karan exclaimed eyeing his son who was now started crying holding her hand.

"And who the hell are you to tell me.Mujhe pata hai kya karna hai aur kya nahi..just stay away from us"preeta pointed at him aggressively.

Karan saw her and pulled her shoulder staring at her "Please stop this..he is crying"he said lowly trying to calm her down.

Preeta pushed him away and looked at aarush.She wiped his tears and made him stand infront of her again.

"Aaru ye dress unka hai..ham unhe vaps denge"she again said and karan saw her narrowing his eyes in dismay.

"Preeta chodo usse,tum usse bich mein kyu la rahi ho..ek dress mein kya hai yaar"karan said holding her hand to stop her again.

This time she with force jerked his hand away and in that process her hand hit aarush's cheek.

He started crying loudly holding his cheek and tears ran down through his red cheeks.Karan widened his eyes in shock and instantly pulled him in his embrace and rubbed his face. whereas aarush started crying again hiding his face in his shirt.

Preeta stood there staring them in shock and with tears in her eyes.Karan closed his eyes controlling himself not to say anything which would scare him more and held him tightly rubbing his back.

"Kuch nahi hua baby stop crying"karan said holding his face and kissed his forehead.

Aarush hiccuped and looked at preeta fearly.Karan saw that picked him up.Preeta sat on the bed and closed her eyes in tears covering her face in her palms.

"Come aap mishu ke saath khelo"he took him outside and made him sit beside mishti.

"Ye kyu ro Raha hai chachu?"mishti asked seeing his tear stained face.

"Aap iske saath khelo mishu,mein baad mein bataunga"he informed her and she nodded in return holding aarush.

"I am sorry baby,mumma ne papa ga gussa aap pe nikal diya.Kuch nahi hua aap strong boy ho na"karan asked rubbing his tears.

Aarush nodded listening to him.

"Toh mein mamma ko mana ke aau?"karan asked him again with puppy eyes.

Aarush slightly nodded back and wiped his eyes with back of his hand.
