"Where is mom?" I asked as soon as we reached the parking area.

"She is with Daniel." was his reply. After that, I didn't ask any question and the rest of the drive to my apartment was quite silent.


Once we reached our apartment Kayish placed Sweety on the bed and pulled the bedsheet over her, she stirred but went back to sleep when he caressed her head soothingly.

"I will be back. Take care." Dad said looking between me and Kayish.

I nodded my head as a comprehension, he is giving us time to settle down everything, but he doesn't know that is not easy to fix.


"I want to be the parts of our baby's growth." He said, his voice held so much pain.

The man I have known years was a complete jerk, arrogant and manipulative psycho has gone, and now standing in front of me was a new one, the regrets in his eyes are crystal clear.


"Say something." He begged.

"Please." I whispered feeling completely defeated. "I don't want to talk to you about that."

"I love you, Riya. You are the only girl I'm in madly love with. I don't want to lose you again. I need you." He hugged me and buried his face in the crook of my neck, leaving me speechless.

"Then why did you leave me? What did I do to you? Why did you give me fake love? Why?" I threw questions one by one.

"I have no idea why did you dump me but it's still hurting," I said holding my tears on the bay.

I felt his tears on my shoulder before he spoke. "I'm really sorry, Riya. Whatever I have done was indeed horrible, I was not in my right mind when I rejected you." He sniffed but I clued on the spot unable to shove him away.

"I was blinded by silly revenge that I haven't realized how much I was in love with you but I'm regretting it till now." He wiped his tears with his bare hand.

"You have no idea how terrible I'm feeling right now. Carrying the blame of killing my own child is eating me alive, please give me liberation from this burden." His eyes sincerely locked at me.

"Only you can give me peace to my mind. Please!!" He begged.

"Then carry this burden on your shoulder as a punishment, I can't give you freedom right now. You have to suffer more, more than I suffered." Think me heartless, but I want you to suffer the same way I had suffered. Life is not easy at all.

"Your silly mistake cost a life, our baby's life. Do you remember Jan 2?" His eyes shot me a confusing look towards me, the same I had given him four years ago but I'm not going to talk about this.

"For you, I slapped you just because of the kiss but for me--" Now his eyes carried agony. He wouldn't have thought that his word would bite him back.

"You lost your pride but l lost my precious gem. Yours can be forgotten easily but mine-- I cannot. I lost a life! I need justice for his death. Now tell me what are you going to memorize about Jan 2 for the rest of your life? Your silly revenge or my loss?" I asked blankly, there were no emotions left in my mind. Right now, I want him to suffer.

"Please!!" He fell on the floor with his knees. "I can't take it anymore. I have no right to live. But please let me live for the sake of our kids!" Like a newborn baby, he cried his heart out.

"I wanted to end my life the moment I came to know about my boy's death. But I'm scared of my babies' life. No one will take care of them like their real father, I do. Please give me a chance." He begged while crying on the floor.

To be continued---

"Okay..." He inhaled deeply unable to bore my silent treatment. "If that brings you peace, then I'm more glad to accept your punishment, but I won't give up on you." He cupped my face in between his large hands.

His eyes lingered on my lips and before I could realize he crashed his lips against mine taking me in a complete utter shock.

The kiss was tender and warm, but I didn't protest against him. For some reason, I want to pull his collar down and kiss him effectively until we are running out of breath.

Ohh! the damn hormones!!

"I will take care of you and our baby. This is the promise of your husband." He kissed my forehead, his lips dwelled on my forehead for a minute.

Husband?

"I'm leaving. Take care." He said and turned his heels to leave. "My heart is always open for you." Was the last word I heard from him before he left my apartment.

Two weeks passed and I hadn't heard anything from him. Sweety was kept asking about her dad as she started to feel unwanted even though everyone in our family gives us a random visit.

Whenever Karan was around, she was in her bay otherwise she was asking for her dad all over the time.

I promised her to bring her to her dad once she gets well. After that, she calmed down.

The doctor checked Sweety and he gave an assurance that she is doing perfectly alright. So today I'm preparing her for School and myself for office.

I texted his PA a.k.a Juliet to pass the message to Kayish to pick Sweety from her school and spend some time with her.

I professionally did this, I don't want to contact him directly which may give him more access to claims his life back.

I know I'm his life, there is no doubt. He has suffered a lot far enough of how much I wanted, but I don't have the heart to accept him back in my life even though my other half begging me to give him a chance.

Sighing heavily, I packed Sweety's lunch and put it in her bag. "Sweety, baby!! Mommy packed lunch for you and Karan. Eat everything I put in your box, okay?" She nodded her head and gave me a peck on my lips.
