Preeta's Pov

After having our dinner aarush dragged karan with him saying him that he wants to show him his books and whatever he had written.

It was 10:30 in the night,but we have slept in th afternoon I guess he wasn't feeling sleepy yet.Reaching the bed he made karan sit and ran to take his bag which was on the table.

I smiled heartily seeing his excitement to show karan.He reached the bed again and climbed sitting infront of karan.

"Ok dikhao"karan asked him to show and gave an impressed look seeing his bundle of books.

"Aap itne saare padte ho aaru.you are just studying in LKG"karan mentioned widening his eyes and going through his texts, workbooks and notebooks.

I nodded and shook my head in disbelief.

"Arey,tumhe nahi pata kitna hota hai.Mein toh school ke baad isse HW karate karate thak jati hu..he won't listen at all.Intrest aaya toh jaldi jaldi likh deta hai nahi toh khatam"I said to him.

"Aap itna satate mamma ko aaru?"karan asked him whereas aarush made an innocent face and nods his head in no cuetly glaring at me.

"Nahi papa..I am a good boy.Mein sab HW likhta hu"Aarush argued and pouted.

"Aww see him,aisa baby face banake mujhe fasa leta hai..I can't even scold him strictly"I said pointing towards aarush.

Karan laughed and pulled his cheeks.Even he should know the antics of his little one.He isn't that easy kid.

"Nahi aaru is a good boy,I know from now onwards he will complete his HW without taking anyone's help.He will be the 1st in his new class"Karan said looking at aarush who immediately nodded to his words with a smile.

"Yes,that's like my boy"Karan hi-fi with him and went through his Books one by one giving an impressive looks.

Another half and hour passed talking and listening to aarush's words.And me telling about aarush like his interests and likes.

"Aaru come abb sote hai! Morning school bhi jana hai right?"I said holding him and kept his books back in the bag.

"School kyu?we are going right"karan interrupted.

"Arey!I mean hum abhi kaha ja rahe hai?Tab tak toh ja sakta hai..even I can"I informed him what was on my mind.

Karan held my arm and made me face him.I saw him confusingly yet in a questioning way.

"We are going to Mumbai tomorrow.Toh koi kahi nahi jayenge.I don't want any delays in between us.I thought to go today itself.But then cancelled knowing you must be tried.So we will be going tomorrow"Karan said and I widened my eyes listening to him.

"Kal ja rahe hai? Aur tum abb bata rahe ho.woh bhi mere puchhne ke baad..Great!"I exclaimed in disbelief.

"Arey!usme kya hai..Jana hi toh hai!you don't need to pack anything.I will arrange there every single thing you want.just pack two pairs of dresses for both it's enough just for a day.we can shop there itself  aur yaha ka sab rishab dekh lega tum tension mat lo"karan informed and I glared at him.

"Uss sab ki koi zarurat nahi hai.I want your family and love from you karan.I don't.."I stopped not knowing what to say and closed my eyes annoyingly.

I knew how he was! Even in our college days he always loved to spend his money on me even though I used to insist him not to . It's his nature but now I don't know why it feels weird because whatever I went through.It teached me to gain love and care from people not their money which feels nothing in return.

We can live even with less money but not without family and love from our loved ones which is lacking in me and aarush's life. I am used to it now but still it hurts somewhere because of aarush.I don't want him to crave and long for a family.

"What do you mean by that?What is mine is yours.How can you think like that babydoll"karan asked me gloomily.

I didn't mean to hurt him.I just said what came to my mind.But I know it takes some time for us to live together like before and I promise to make it more beautiful than before.More stronger than before.

"Ok don't be sad now!I just bluttered anything..now make him sleep I will talk to you later"I said to him and we looked at aarush who was staring the ceiling and murmuring something playing with his fingers laying on the bed.

"Aaru close your eyes and sleep"I scolded him slightly.Because I knew he won't sleep simply now.

"Mamma aap so yaha mujhe ninne nahi aati"He pointed beside him and I layed down beside him Patting his head looking at karan.He was sad I know.I can see that but I don't know what exactly was bothering him and I don't want him to think like that about something.

I can talk to him later once Aarush falls asleep.

"Papa aap bhi so yaha"aarush pulled karan's arm.Karan nodded silently and layed on the other side of aarush holding his hand.

A bright smile appeared on aarush's face and I kissed his forehead with love.He is the happiest I can say.

"Ok,now sleep"I said and started patting his head.He eye lids slowly closed in return.

Karan was staring at us silently.I raised my eyebrows asking him what?He shook his head in return and looked at aarush.

I sighed and pouted in return looking at him sadly.What is bothering him now?

Another 20 mins passed and I saw aarush who was now sleeping calmly.I saw karan who had his eyes closed.He must be sleeping.

I thought to wake him up but dropped thinking he needs to take rest.I can even talk to him tomorrow.

I got up after covering aarush properly with quilt and turned to go that karan's voice caught my attention and I looked back to him.

"Preeta"he called.

"Hnn"I answered and saw him.

"Kaha ja rahi ho?"he asked sitting on the bed.

"Lights off nahi kiye meine kitchen mein..so I was just going"I replied.

He nods and I went towards kitchen.

Switching off the lights and closing the door I came to the living room to check up on the door again.

"Preeta"karan called me from behind and I saw him with a smile.

I knew sleep will be far away from him today just like mine.

"Karan"I called and switched on the light of living room then approached him.

He sat on the sofa and lowered his head staring his lap.I sighed and went towards him.

"Kya hua karan?"I asked and was about to sit beside him that he held my hand and pulled me on his lap.I was stunned and saw him with my twinkling eyes.

Before I could process anything he immediately hugged surrounding his hands around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Karan"I exclaimed feeling strange with his behaviour but soon my eyes widened feeling his wet eyes on my shoulder.

I instantly lifted his head and faced him.My heart percied seeing the tears in his eyes and his saddened face.

"Tu..tum ro kyu rahe ho?"I asked tensely and rubbed his tears immediately then cupped his face plucking my lower lip gloomily.

"I am sorry babydoll"he whispered and again snuggled his face on my shoulder.

I Shivered but composed gulping my saliva.I again lifted his head and held his face with my both palms looking into his eyes.

"Kya hua hai karan..tell me?See tumhe pata hai tumhe zyada tensed nahi hona hai.I cannot see you in that state again.Tumhe nahi pata tumhe behosh dekh ke meri halat kaisa hui thi.Agar tum aise karoge toh I won't talk to you"I said to him firmly with tears in my eyes.

It makes me scared even to remember yesterday's incident.I won't let him go through that again.

"Tu..tum ho na abb kuch nahi ho sakta mujhe.you are my strength,my weakness,my happiness,my everything"he whispered with a faint smile and I looked at him emotionally in return.

"Karan"I called him meekly and paused not knowing what to say.

"I am with you and will always be.Now tell me what is bothering you?"I asked staring at him.

He lowered his eyes and held me tightly and securely.

"I am so sorry for everything I did.I don't know tumne kaise sab manage Kiya hoga.It hurts so much.aab tum dono ko dekh ke bass yahi soch raha hu.Aarush kitna tang karta hai..how did you handle him alone,jab baby tha toh kitna roya hoga tumhe kitna tang kiya hoga"he paused and looked at me emotionally.

My heart pained listening to his words.I don't want to remember them now.But I know even it's hurting him more and I will listen and want to clear it today from his mind.

"Aur jab yaha"he kept his palm on my belly and stared it with moist eyes.

"Tumhare pet mein tha toh kaise feel kiya hoga tumne usse,did he used to kick?"he asked feeling a lump in his throat.

That is it.Tears rolled down my eyes and I held his face more tightly while sobbing silently.

"I didn't even know you were pregnant.you were too small for that,to face that stage that too alone.Its sometimes difficult in the first 3 months right?tumhe bhi waise hua hoga na?" he asked with moist eyes and I nodded remembering the days while crying.

I cannot even describe it and asking is so easy.I still hate him for that..but I cannot stick to those memories and ruin our beautiful present.

"See..how cruel I am.I just left you alone to face everything.That baby bump..tum kaise dikh rahi hogi,Kitna miss Kiya hoga mujhe aur utna hi hate kiya hoga"he said and held my face with his plams.

I shook my head in no with tears staring into his moist eyes.

"It's killing me babydoll,this pain is so unbearable.I am a culprit.Tumhe bohot zyada hurt Kiya hai meine.how can you behave this normal with me.Tell me that you accepted me because I went through that all and you were scared with yesterday's incident.I know tum isilye aisa behave kar rahi ho.You still hate me,you still don't want to be with me?"He spoke with those hidden emotions in his eyes.

I was out of words not knowing what to reply him or how to console him.

"I don't hate you karan.I can never do that..Meine gusse mein kaha bhi toh it's just from my mind in the heat of that moment.Aur tum jo soch rahe ho I don't want to say you it's wrong.I have suffered without you in those days.It was so difficult that I can't even explain you.But swara was with me karan.she was there for us and took my care like her own sister.She was there during my pregnancy and till aaarush was 3 years old.After that I started living alone with him"I explained him with moist eyes.

Whereas he was listening to me kneely without even blinking his eyes which were filled with fresh tears.

My fingers gently caressed his cheeks and wiped a tear drop rolled down from his eyes shaking my head in no saying him not to cry.

"I think Jo bhi hua usme tumhari galti nahi hai.start tumne kiya lekin it was in our destiny to part our ways.Tumne bhi utna hi suffer Kiya hai na?Mein kal tumhari halat dekh ke nahi aayi karan.It was my decision tumhe waha chod ke aayi toh I was lost somewhere.Mein imagine bhi nahi kar payi mere aage ki life,I couldn't even breath properly.Tum ho toh sab kuch hai,nahi toh kuch bhi nahi.preeta ki life karan ke bina kuch bhi nahi hai.I cannot live without you anymore.I missed you so much,tumne mujhe dur kiya tab bhi tumhe Miss Kiya,jab humara baby aa raha tha tab bhi miss Kiya,Jab aarush ko pehli baar dekha toh you were the first person I wished to have beside me"I stammered remembering the moments.

Karan wiped my tears and pressed his lips to suppress his pain which I can clearly do.

"Hamesha,har din,hal pal miss karti rahi hu tumhe,jab usne pehli baar chal kar mere pass aaya,jab usne pehli baar ma ke badle pa..pa kaha"I spell it while sobbing ,the way aarush said that day for the first time

I was about to say further that karan held me in his embrace hugging me tightly.

"I missed it,I missed every special moment.I am too bad babydoll"he scolded himself pulling me more towards him if it was even possible.

I closed my eyes feeling him and his embrace calming myself a little.He is thinking too deeply now.

"Meine kaha na karan.It was all our fate.we just need to think about our future not our past.Agar sochna hai toh kuch acchi memories ko replay Karo not a bad ones.I missed you the way you did.Tumne bhi miss Kiya hai na mujhe..abb hum saath hai..i don't want anything else.. please stop thinking anything and feeling guilty for your mistakes.Tum pehle jaise the waise rehna sab thik hoga.I just want to see you happy and fine"I assured him surrounding my hands around his neck as he snuggled in my neck.

"And don't worry I have recorded his every special moments and pictures since he was born.Tum emotional hona band karoge toh dikha dungi"I said trying to cheer his mood.

He immediately looked up to him lifting his head and smiled widely.This is what I wanted to see.I smiled with him and held his face looking into his dazzling eyes.

"I love you so much..I promise to erase you every pain and to bring that happiness back in our life with our new memories"he whispered staring into my eyes confidently.

I smiled and nodded resting my forehead against his meekly whispering "I love you more".

He grinned and rubbed his forehead against mine.I smiled happily and stared at his face closely like how I used to look before.His deep black Ocean orbs,his straight sharp nose,his perfect shaped lips that I have kissed without his permission,I don't even have counts.He was just a perfect handsome hunk from outside and more than that a beautiful soul from inside.

I had already fallen for him since back so badly that even he left me alone I loved him and missed him like anything.Aarush was enough for the proof that how much I was in love with him.Tilting my head back and I looked into his eyes again which were staring at me carrying the same intensity and love in them.

His expressions changed when I leaned forward towards his lips and without any warning placed my lips on his with a smile of satisfaction.This was much needed.

He pulled me through the waist and moved his lips to kiss me back.My eyes shut as he started kissing more deeply and passionately within a secs showing that he was longing to do that.

This is what my heart was craving for,to feel his presence more and closely. I clutched his arm when he nibbled my lower lip and sucked it intensely.Nots formed in my belly when his fingers started tracing my back till my waist.

Sitting on his lap was enough for me to create tingles in my body and now kissing him was something more passionate that I felt weak and held him tightly.

I moved my lips with his in a sync making us crave for more.It was after years and we were not ready to part our lips even though I was out of breath.

I slowed down the kiss and parted my lips after some secs breathing heavily against his lips.Karan looked up to me gazing into my eyes intensely.I blushed under his gaze and lowered my eyes timidly.

He lifted his hand to my face.I silently watched his fingers which traced my cheeks making me more weak with the heat that he was producing inside my body.

This wasn't enough..I whinnied when his thumb traced my lower lip from the corner to the other side.I leaned to his touch slightly moving my head feeling so delighted and took a sharp Breath.

My heart beat was already at its highest and here he was raising it more.I loved the feeling he was creating in my body which I have craved since years.His touch was the best feeling in the world even if it's a mere.My heart beat was racing like a marathon and my heart was about to come out from my rib cage looking into his black orbs.

"Only mine"he again traced his finger sensually on my lips and I felt like biting his finger because of the sensation he was creating in my body.

"I love you damn much"Whispering against my lips he kissed below my lower lip.

I was about to look at him that my heart clamed as he pressed his lips on mine.This time it felt more intense than before.This wasn't a gentle one, it was rough and his lips said to me that he missed me the way I did.

Karan's Pov

This time I kissed her showing how much I missed her,how much I craved for her,how these years went without her.It was so tough to say in words and I wanted to make her feel.

Her closeness was the reason for my happiness.If she stays by my side I am the luckiest and fortunate one.She was my everything and even now.Just wondered how my life was with her before and how it went without her.

Those were the unbearable days, which pained me alot remembering her,our memories,her beautiful yet breathtaking face which I want to stare for hours without even blinking my eyes.She was the gem of my life which I had lost because of my foolishness.

Thanking God with words isn't enough for sending her back to me.Even it was in our fate to meet again to complete our incomplete story.

She tilted her head back as I entered my tongue inside her while kissing her more deeply.I wanted to feel her like before.I want her to stay in my arms assuring myself that she is there with me for real.

Pulling her more isn't possible as she is already crushed against me.Still I was craving for her more and more.Taking her in my embrace like this after years felt like a dream again.

I had kissed her numerous times but this felt so so different and left us to crave more.Her sweet lips which were moving against mine were my favourite which I want to taste again and again.

I sensed her feeling of lack of breath and parted my lips after peeking  and let her breath properly.

Her eyes were close and my eyes darted to her pink lips which were flushed because of the kiss.Her face which was blushing under my gaze.Her blushing face was enough for me to kiss her hard again but I composed myself and held her chin with my finger.

Her eye lids opened feeling my touch and stared into my eyes.A smug smile appeared on my face seeing her expression which was showing how nervous she was yet she acted a Little bold.

She didn't smiled back but lowered her gaze again and pressed her lips together feeling shy.I melted at her and leaned towards her neck to see her flushed face again.

Planting a kiss on her collarbone,I inhaled her natural fragrance which always calmed my mind.Her tiny fists grabbed my shirt as she arched her neck giving me more access.I showered her neckline with warm kisses holding her waist tightly.

Moving towards her shoulder I gave a mouthful kiss between the junction of her neck and shoulder.She squirmed digging her nails on my chest as I sucked her skin leaving it wet.

"Karan"her sweet yet gentle voice reached my ears and I smiled kissing on her shoulder.She lifted my head breathing heavily and I smiled admirably in return.

She without meeting my gaze immediately hugged me surrounding her hands around my neck.I hugged her back holding her waist and sunggled in her neck.She shivered when I kissed below her ear and in return recived a baby kiss from her on my shoulder.

I smiled and dug my face in between her neck and shoulder pressing her completely against me leaving no gap between us not even air could pass.

"I missed you so much babydoll"I whispered against her neck closing my eyes feeling her.

"I missed you more"I heard her sweet yet heart melting reply resulting in a wide grin on my face and I felt blessed when she was always mentioning the word 'more'.

"I love you"I said nibbling my nose on her ear then down to her neck warming her skin.She is my addiction which I can never get off.

She didn't reply as her breath was ragging and I can feel her her heart beat racing against my chest.

She lifted her head slightly and rubbed her cheeks with mine while facing me with a beautiful shy smile on her face.

"You look more beautiful with this blush"I commented tracing her cheeks with my finger tips.

She timidly lowered her gaze leaning to my touch.I leaned and kissed her chin with love.

I was about to lean towards her lips again that she rested her palm on my mouth shaking her head in no.

I furrowed my eyebrows and pouted slightly.She smiled sheepishly and distanced herself moving her face back.

I held her hand and kissed the back of her hand.I couldn't get enough of her, never.Just want to keep her in my arms always.

"Karan"she called me and I looked up to her raising my eyebrows.

"Aarush,he is sleeping alone,we need to go there"she said and I nodded in return.

"Come"I stood up taking her in my arms as she was already on my lap.Whereas her eyes widened in shock.

"Karan I can walk.. leave me"she retorted but I was already inside the room and again sat on the bed taking her in my embrace.

She shook her head in dismay and was about to go that I didn't let her go and again made her sit on my lap.

"What?tumhe Sona nahi hai kya?"she asked with her big doe eyes.

I shook my head in no and pulled her through waist.She gasped and placed her palms on my chest glaring at me cutely.

"I don't want to leave you"I confessed pulling her more.

She gulped down her throat and looked at me nervously.

"ky..kya matlab hai..I.."she stammered not finding any words.But I got to know what she must be thinking and shook my head in no.

"Just sleep in my arms babydoll..aarush yahi hai"I said to her looking at aarush who was sleeping peacefully.

Preeta looked at him then at me shaking her head in no.

"Arey aise kaise?Mein yahi tu tumhare paas..chalo leave me, lets sleep now"she retorted furrowing her eyebrows.

I glared at her and held her waist tightly tugging my fingers not letting her to move.

"Nahi..aise hi so jao!Mujhe aise hi rehna hai tumhare paas..please"I requested with puppy eyes.

She pouted looking at my face and shook her head in no again.

"Arey aise nahi so sakte,aur aaru ko side bhi nahi sula sakte woh niche gir gaya toh?abb se saath hi rehna hai right"she said cupping my face.But I shook my head in no sadly.

"He won't fall, pillows hai waha tum yahi so mere paas please ,just today"I pleaded again.

I don't know why!I wanted her beside me today otherwise sleep will be far away from me.Aarush was sleeping and he won't fall as pillows were on the other side so I just wanted her near me.

"Karan"she exclaimed,I guess showing a little dissappoinmet.

My concise regained seeing her expressions and I sighed thinking what I am saying.

"I am sorry!tum wahi so jao..I just..I am sorry.Meine kuch zyada keh diya"I instantly left her feeling guilty.

How can I tell her like that?She just allowed me in her life and here I am already saying her anything.My thoughts interrupted by preeta's words and looked at her sadly.

"Don't be sorry again..It's okay.I will sleep in the middle..mujhe bhi tumhare paas hi rehna hai Karan"She whispered and hugged me with a smile.

My eyes shined with happiness and I closed my eyes taking a deep breath.

"It's ok babydoll,tumne ha kaha that's enough for me..sleep that side"I replied thinking she agreed beacuse of me.

"Chup chap let jao..I am feeling sleepy.Mein middle hi so Rahi hu"she said and turned back still sitting on my lap.

Then properly adjusted pillows beside aarush so that there must be no chance of him to fall.Then looked back at me with a smile.

"Ok he won't fall now,waise he won't fall but still I cannot take any risks coz he will be at the end.Pehle we were two toh he used to sleep in the middle.But don't worry mein usse kas ke pakadke so jaungi"she chuckled and explained me.

Whereas I nodded at her as she came and  sat in the middle.I stared at her properly covering aarush with the blanket and herself laid beside him.

"Tum nahi so ge?aab tumhe bhi sulana padega?"she asked looking back at me.I shook my head in no and silently laid beside her.

I don't know It was totally a different feeling.I had never slept with her after the day when we became one.My mind revised those memories and I closed my eyes staring at her back as she was sleeping surrounding her hand around aarush.

I wondered how mature she had become.She is so careful and serious in every single matter.I totally loved her this side.Indeed She is the best mother and I have to learn more from her being a father.

"Karan"she called and I opened my eyes to look at her.

"Hmm?"I asked and got surprised seeing her facing me.

She didn't say anything but snuggled to me resting her head on my shoulder then surrounded her hand around my waist.

"Aaru so gaya lekin tum nahi soye na.. sleep now without thinking anything"she whispered against my neck and kissed there sensually.

This isn't true!

My heart beat raised listening to her soothing words and her touch.I really felt blessed listening to her words.How can she be this good and lovable.I held her waist with the other hand and felt emotional.

I don't know why.still i can't believe it's true and I am with her right now,that to beside me, sleeping next to me.Please I don't want it to be another dream,I prayed closing my eyes and again opened to assure myself it isn't my dream.

I smiled seeing her snuggling into my neck and I got to know that it's true and she is with me for real.

"I love you babydoll"I whispered meekly kissing her head.

"I love you more.It's so peaceful in your arms.I missed you so much"she said and looked up to me with her heart eyes.

I gently pulled her more and replied"I missed you more"she chuckled listening to me when I mentioned 'more'.

"Ok..Sleep now"she muttered and peeked at my lips.

I smiled and closed my eyes to have a blissful and peaceful sleep after damn 5 years of my life.
