After one week

" Mommy...Mommy....My mommy is here," Neela screamed excitedly and ran towards Niyati who just opened her hands to hug her daughter.

Neela jumped on Niyati and she started kissing Neela maddeningly. Then she checked Neela's whole body cautiously to see she is fine or not. Happy tears started flowing from her eyes seeing Neela after one week. She felt a soothing sensation inside her chest feeling her sweetie pie in her embrace.

" My baby," Niyati cooed and kissed Neela's forehead.

Neela looked at Ranvijay and said jumping over him excitedly," Oh!! Daddy. I missed you a lot."

" My pumpkin," Ranvijay said hugging Neela's tiny frame and kissed her cheeks.

Well, after one week Ranvijay and Niyati have come to meet Neela. Both of them were going crazy without Neela. Niyati was like dying in the house without her daughter where Ranvijay fell into depression without seeing Neela's face.

Shivansh rolled his eyes seeing Niyati & Ranvijay. He didn't like it when Neela was calling Ranvijay, daddy. He felt like punching on Ranvijay's face repeatedly for having Niyati and Neela both.

Shivansh thought mentally," Why this bastard doesn't die somewhere so that I can have them for myself!!"

" So you are ready to accept this betrayer again?" His subconscious mocked him.

Shivansh screamed inside his head," Shut the fuck up!! The more I see her the more I am becoming weak for her. I am already fucked up. Just don't increase it."

" We want to talk with our daughter alone," Ranvijay said catching Shivansh's attention where Niyati is busy kissing and hugging Neela.

Shivansh replied directly looking into Ranvijay's eyes," Neela isn't your daughter. Remember that always. I am her biological father and she is my blood & flesh."

Saying that he left the place where Ranvijay continued standing up with a clenched jaw. He felt like the monster inside him was screaming to come out and break Shivansh's neck but he controlled himself somehow.

Ranvijay thought mentally," It's time to let out VR and murder this thief. He is trying to steal my daughter. Bastard!!!

He diverted his gaze towards Neela and immediately his every anger got vanished in the air. He smiled looking at his tiny daughter.

" Love, does your uncle treat you good?" Niyati asked Neela very worriedly.

Neela replied innocently," Yes, Mommy. The uncle is very good. He gives me whatever I want. He takes me to parks, bought me many toys & dresses and he never scolded me. Every night he will tell me stories to make me sleep. He loves me, Mommy and I also love him a lot. He is a very good person."

" That's great," Niyati mumbled softly and took a relief of breath thinking that her child is fine.

Then, Neela continued saying," You know what Mommy. Uncle brings different types of chocolates and candies for me every day. He brought so many different types of chocolates which I never tasted before."

Hearing Neela, Niyati felt a sting inside her chest. Neela's words reminded her of a past incident when Niyati & Shivanah were together. Niyati's heart started beating fast and she remembered something from her past.

Flashback

( " It's the 139th day after our marriage and its 139 number of flower," Niyati said smelling the flower which she has seen for the first time in her life.

Shivansh pulled herself towards him by holding her waist and asked," Didn't you like it?"

" I loved it. I just wonder from where you brought all these types of flowers. They are different from each other," Niyati replied resting her both hands above his shoulder.

Shivansh said kissing her cheeks," I promised you that I will bring different types of flowers for my Flower every day. I am just fulfilling my promise."

" I love you," Niyati whispered kissing Shivansh's lips and he also kissed her back.

After a passionate kiss, Shivansh told Niyati very seductively signalling his eyes towards the bed," One kiss isn't enough."

" I am on my periods," Niyati replied and Shivansh's whole face got clouded with disappointment.

He said grinning his face," Urghh!! Everything is ruined now. My mood has spoiled. I just hate this period of yours."

" Oh!! Hello mister. Don't look down upon our periods. You men will never understand the importance of it," Niyati replied pulling his nose playfully.

Shivansh tightened his hold around her waist and said sadly," I am not looking down upon it. It's just I can't love you deeply in this state."

" Aww. My baby is sad!!" Niyati said sarcastically and pulled his cheeks.

Looking at her, a playful smirk formed on Shivansh's lips and he pinched Niyati's waist gently. Niyati gasped feeling the sudden touch and looked at his mischievous eyes.

" Seems like today we have to satisfy ourselves with kisses," he uttered seductively burying his head in the crook of her neck where she giggled loudly holding him tightly. )

Flashback ended.

" Mommy, you know uncle is always sad about something. I asked him why is he sad but he doesn't say anything to me," Neela said sadly and that's when Niyati came back from her past.

She wiped her eyes hurriedly so that Neela can't see her tears. Shivansh's memory always brought back the pain inside her.

Neela is continuously talking about Shivnash with Niyati unknown to the fact that Ranvijay is fuming in rage inside. He didn't like Neela's fondness towards Shivansh.

He started feeling insecure seeing Neela becoming close to Shivansh. He started fearing that Neela will accept Shivansh as her father and forget about him. Though it's a childish thought, he still couldn't control himself from thinking like that.

" You know what mommy. I have made new friends too," Neela informed Niyati very excitedly.

Niyati asked amusingly," Really!! Who are they?"

" Orchi aunty and her sons Roman & Rion. Uncle introduced them to me," Neela said smiling and Niyati started wondering who are they.

After that, Neela continued bubbling," You know what Mommy. Orchi aunty isn't like other aunties. She is like me. She likes candies, lollipops and plays with me & her sons with various types of dolls. But, she is a good aunty. Whenever I go to meet her, she shares her candies with me."

" Aww. She seems like a good person," Niyati said caressing Neela's cheeks and wondered who is this Orchi. She thought to ask Shivansh about this Orchi and her sons.

Suddenly, Neela left the room without saying anything to Niyati and Ranvijay. Both of them called her by her name but she didn't stop. After a few seconds, she returned with Shivansh's phone.

" Mommy, Daddy. Do you want to see my new friends? I have their pictures with me," Neela asked her parents with her baby voice.

Ranvijay said chuckling," Let's see who is your new friends."

After that, Neela started showing Orchi and her sons' pictures to Niyati & Ranvijay. Niyati just fell in love seeing the boys who are looking like little bunnies.

Niyati became happy after knowing that Neela has such cute company. But, she couldn't see Orchi's face clearly as the pictures were taken from Orchi's behind while they were playing.

" I liked your new friends," Niyati said to Neela and she just giggled innocently.

On the other hand, Ranvijay was confused yet curious after seeing the boys. He doesn't know why their face felt familiar to him. It's like he has seen them somewhere. Moreover, Orchi's back also felt familiar to him though it was covered with Orchi's long black hair.

Ranvijay swiped the picture and another picture came which was taken from Orchi's front. But, before he could see the picture properly Shivansh's phone's battery died and it got switched off.

" Why they felt familiar or I am just overthinking?" Ranvijay thought mentally and tried to recall the girl's picture which he couldn't see properly.

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

At Night

Ranvijay is trying to finish a portrait which he started 4 years ago. He is trying to finish it where his mind continued repeating those pictures and that girl which he couldn't see properly.

His mind is also repeating Neela's continuous bubbling about Shivansh and he started feeling insecure and angry. For 4 years Neela has been calling him Daddy and she was the only reason who could bring a smile on his face. Suddenly, someone came and snatched his only happiness from him, he just couldn't tolerate it.

" What the hell!!" Ranvijay uttered shockingly when he noticed that he has completed the portrait.

It was Orni's face which he has been trying to draw for 4 years. Whenever he tried to draw it he would mess up. If he drew her lips correctly then he would mess up while drawing her eyes. If he drew her nose correctly then he would mess up drawing her hair. This type of incidents continued for 4 years and he doesn't know how he completed it suddenly.

" How did I complete it!! Strange," Ranvijay mumbled and again those pictures came in front of him.

He sighed and mumbled," I am just overthinking. Nothing else."

After that, he took out his phone and called someone named Akash.

" Vijendra bhai!! You!! After a long time, you remembered your old servant!!" Akash said with his overwhelming voice after receiving the call.

Ranvijay replied chuckling a little," Where are you now? And what are you doing?"

" Just taking care of the shits which you left under my responsibility," Akash replied sarcastically and Ranvijay joined the laughter.

After that Akash continued saying with his longing voice," After your leaving "The Vipers" died, bhai. Though you told me to take care of the 'The Vipers' and I am trying my best but still, it isn't like before when you were the leader. I still miss your commands and doing your works."

" I have moved on, Akash. Don't remind me of those things. It will just bring back the shameful acts of mine," Ranvijay replied with his disappointed voice and Akash didn't continue his talking about this matter.

Akash asked diverting the topic," By the way, why did you call me bhai? Is there any special reason?"

" I want you to send someone under the grave," Ranvijay said hardening his voice.

Akash asked very politely," Just tell me the name, bhai."

" Shivansh Raichand," Ranvijay said with his clenched jaw.
