After 3 months,

Varsha is now 7 months old.

Neerja began to attend college to complete her final year. It was totally under the compulsion of Sameer. Neerja was reluctant to leave them citing that they need to take care of the baby and household works.But Sameer managed to do calm her by saying that he will also help her, by sharing the responsibilities.Luckily it was the last semester and she has only to do the project, attend the reviews and come back home as soon as she could. It was all just the work for a couple of hours. During these hours Sameer decided to take baby Varsha along with him to the studio. It was astonishing to see the workers as he brought a beautiful charming baby with him. Her blabbering with Sameer was way too adorable to see. "Was Sameer bhai married?", they asked eachother. "That baby looks a lot like him! Those lips and eyes", they mumbled."Baby is here, but where is her mother?", another worker enquired. 

Since it was her final project and report  submission, Neerja finally came back to the studio to pick her baby up. It was really funny to see Sameer was sitting on a chair wearing his reading specks and drawing while baby Varsha was happily settled on his lap wearing a mini rayban glass.She was rocking it like a pro on his lap!

"Arey waah! waah! who is this? Amma's chinnu? ", Neerja laughed at her pulling out funny faces.But baby Varsha didn't mind .Once again she tugged on her Nanna for the support and sat like a queen. "She won't talk Neeru.She thinks she is the mini version of Rajamata Sivagami devi", Sameer joked. Neerja finally managed to get her baby from his lap who gave her most beautiful smile in this world.

"Amma's chinnu! Nanna's Chinnu!", Neerja spoiled her with kisses. "Neeru, you need to go now isn't it? I will come by noon to have my lunch", Sameer handovered the baby to Neerja. "Say bye bye to Nanna", she asked. Baby was confused. She stared blankly at her face. "Say bye bye to Nanna we need to go home.Say bye",Neerja instructed Varsha. Varsha made a loud noise indicating her disapproval. She jumped from her Amma to Nanna's hands hugged him tightly. "Awww..Nanna's baby!", Sameer laughed to which Neerja nodded her head. "She is impossible. You are the one who is spoiling her. " Sameer laughed at her. "How was your thesis submission?", he asked. "Not too bad. But not so best also.Anyways I am sure that I will pass. Maybe with good marks.", she smiled. Soon afterwards Varsha began to make weird funny face and noises in her dad's hands. She slowly pushed her Nanna away and gave both her hands trying to grab her mother. Neerja hold her baby, while Varsha slowly made her move towards Neerja's chest for milk. "Wait here, I will arrange my room. Baby needs milk", Sameer moved towards his private room preparing all the arrangements and bed. Neerja was astonished to see his protectiveness over his family. Once Neerja started breastfeeding the child, Sameer closed the private  room from outside and moved towards the water filter to collect water. 

When he turned around he collided with a few workers who were working under him.They were trying to peep into the room. "What the hell!", Sameer was angered. "Bhai, who was that girl", they enquired him turning their heads to his private room. Sameer glared at them. "Was that baby yours?", asked one  worker. "What? Does she look like some other else? My daughter does look like me!", Sameer raised his voice scaring them."Ji, just chill. We have never seen you anyone else back then.That's why we asked", other one hung his head lower while Sameer terrified them with his looks."Please leave us alone. Give me some privacy. Don't you people have any work? Please go and do it", he said in a cold voice. The workers ran away as they got their precious lives back. By around noon , once he completed his work he went to his room to see both mother and daughter were sleeping peacefully after her meal.

Sameer was burning in hunger, once he gets hunger god only knows how he manages to ground it down.If Neerja was awaken, he could have easily moved towards their apartment and munch on delicious food made by his wife. So today he decided to give her a break. He bought 4 packets of biriyani, various side dishes  for them. Sameer kept the packets on the table and sat beside Neerja. He slowly caressed her cheek with his slender fingers. He couldn't believe that Neerja became an integral part of his life for the past 2 years 2 months. He still laughs thinking of their first encounter when a girl in red ran and stood infront of him , asking him to sign the attendance register where he refused. Next day when she shared her book with him. Her warmth and comfortness.....

Sameer kissed Neerja's forehead. Neerja opened her eyes to see Sameer giving her the warmest smile. A sudden realisation struck her. 'Oh my.lunch!!!", Neerja sat upright. Neerja pulled up her hair in a bun. " Sam, Ineed to go home", she began to pack her things. "Oye! no worries.. I have already bought lunch and other food items for us", Sameer held up the food packets. Neerja gaped at him. "From where did you buy these", she questioned. "Ofcourse from hotel itslef",he smiled sheepishly. 

"Just take a break darling. I had already seen you juggling between college and our home. Eat it and do any work if you have for tomorrow. If I am not mistaken tomorrow you will be having your final jury", Sameer opened the packets and transferred biriyani to the plate and fed a morsel to Neerja. The lunch was completed by neerja and Sameer by feeding eachother. Once they completed their lunch, Sameer immersed himself into his work while Neerja took a book and started writing down the explanations and content that have to be explained for tomorrow's jury. She looked at Sameer to see him throwing the scribbled papers back to waste bin. His face was tensed. Sameer felt his cheeks were being caressed by a pair of cold hands. "Neeru..", he whispered adjusting his specks."What happened? ", she hold his paper from his hands. Sameer made her sit on his lap and kissed his cheeks. "I couldn't develop this multipurpose table",he pouted. She took pencil from his hands and drew something above it. She went on to add some more detailings to it.

 Neerja kept the paper on his drafting table and wake up from his lap. Sameer had a look at the sketch hat was completed by her. He was stunned to see her final product. The table sketch was now much better, with details with minute analysis. He looked at his wife in awe.

                                                                         **********************

The very next day Neerja attended her jury. Sameer too was there with her. He waited for her with his baby on his lap. Sameer moved with Varsha under the shade of a tree when she started being  fussy.She was annoyed to see her mother was paying  attention to her sheets and some people standing infront of them and explaining her works. 

Varsha was calmed down when Sameer showed his hand where a butterfly sat comfortably. She looked at him with wondered eyes. "Where were you both? I have been searching for you guys all this times!", Sameer turned to see Neerja coming with her chart rollers and a few sketch books in a big shopper bag. "Is everything over", he asked. "Yeah..somewhat..", she answered nonchalantly."What happened? any problem?", he enquired." Sam, even if we does our best there will be thousands of people around us only to spot our mistakes and inflate it down as a big thing. Moreover I don't give them a damn!", she muttered. Sameer was able to comprehend what has happened  at her jury. Whatever others say , it doesn't matter. You should do your work properly and it must go on. Sameer wore his helmet and hung all her things properly in his bike. He started the bike and Neerja sat behind him keeping Varsha on her lap properly. Sameer decided to cherish Neerja by taking her for an outing.

                                                                       **********************

It was around night 10 pm when Sameer and Neerja reached their apartment.

Their hands were filled with varius shopping bags , her chart rollers,etc. After Sameer pampering Neerja with all the house hold items and a new Banarasee saree , finally a ray of smile was visible on Neerja's face. Baby Varsha was sleeping. Neerja arranged the bed in their living hall. She kept baby on that adjusting pillows and all. Sameer decided to take a bath and moved to bathroom applying oil on his hair. Neerja was busy with opening and arranging the packges into their respective places. Sudenly she heard  someone was  puking and muffled cries of Varsha. "Oh my baby..", Neerja ran towards the living hall.

Sameer who was drying up his hair too listened vomiting. He pulled a t-shirt and moved to living hall only to see a broken Neerja standing lifelessly. "Neeru...what happened to Varsha?..", Neerja hold his shoulder for a support. She pointed at their daughter without blinking her eyes. Sameer was stunned to see his daughter who was looking at her parents with confused face.

Now she was in her new form....

A new being....

A baby wolf with twinkling eyes....

That night didn't pave path for a new day for Sameer and Neerja..

 It's really hurting to see several people , especially PrAnushkians are leaving wattpad platform one by one. I am no one to say to lose hope on them. Just like us they are also humans. They also have their own limits and liabilities. Since they might have shared their opinions on interviews doesn't mean to unpublish your valubale works and leave the platform without sharing us a single word. Because I had felt it like , more or less it was failing us, the readers. I don't want to drag "Wolf Children" into that category. Whatever decisions , they take in their lives, I would respect them. No matter what.
