The Unmarried Mother

Chapter-10

It was only 10 minutes before 10:00 in the morning. Richa was late for office, she wanted to leave immediately after starting her scooty for office.

She asked Rita, "Mommy, what time do you leave for your shop?"

"Maybe in half an hour." Got an answer.

"Dad and Rishabh also gone or are you still at home?" Richa asked.

"You know that Harish leaves in the morning and Rishabh leaves later. There is no need to ask." Rita said in such a manner that Richa felt a bit strange.

She thought, Mummy's mind may have deteriorated again today. There is always some quarrel over the day Dad comes. These fights have increased a lot these days. These people make even the smallest talk. Blames fall on others.

Thinking this, Richa took her tiffin box, drank some milk, ate omelette and asked her maid to remove the dishes from the table.

Then she told Rita, "Okay, I've had breakfast. I'm leaving for office. Take care of yourself."

Wearing her helmet, started her scooty and left for office. Rita was thinking in her mind that big lady came to take care of me. I will take care of myself. You people look yourself.

Rita hides Ravi's call from Richa and her arrival. But not knowing what Rita immediately called Richa. Richa had just reached a distance that Rita's phone rang on her mobile.

Richa said while putting her scooty on the side of the road, "Yes mummy! what's the matter now?"

On the other hand, Rita's voice was heard saying, "Richa I forgot to tell that Ravi got a call. He wanted to talk to you so I forgot to tell you. I remember now. So I am telling you."

"I will understand Ravi by then by reaching office. I am late for the office." Richa said and disconnected the phone and started towards Scooty and go towards the office.

She had just moved forward that her mobile bell rang again. When she saw it, there was a father's call.

"Hello! Hello!" Richa said.

"Hello, yes Richa I am speaking. Did you leave for office or not?" Came Harish's voice.

"Yes I'm on the way. That's when your call comes in. Are you free right now?" Richa asked.

"Yes, I was a bit upset because that's why I called you." Harish said a bit sad.

"What's the matter? Daddy, you got into a fight with mommy again today, right?"

"You know Richa that nowadays this is too much." Harish said taking a cold breath.

"Daddy, what has happened to you these days? This is not good for all of us."

"Yes, don't know what is on anyone's mind. But I feel like she is not happy with your engagement." Harish said while taking sips of coffee.

"What does she want from you?" Richa asked Harish.

"Old things will be scolded and she want to get right from me." Harish said.

"Yes Papa, everyone is right, the second wife is always said to be bad. And by looking at the mother, it seems that this saying fits perfectly on the second wife."

"The second wife?" Harish was lost in memories somewhere.

"Dad, don't get upset. I want to know from my mother what she wants? I'll talk to her on a good day when her mood is good."

"Ok Richa You will be getting late for office. Later on this will expand." Harish said taking a cold breath.

That's when Richa's phone calls her boss. Richa told Papa, "You keep the phone, the boss's phone is coming from the office."

"Okay! You go do your work, come when I call you." Saying this, Harish cut off the phone and started burning his cigarette and inhaling it."

Harish is again lost in the air of memories, How Rita had taken up the entire house on her shoulders even at her young age. But what has happened to her now? Who is fighting not only with me but also Richa and Rishabh. This is the condition of everyday. Even today, she quarreled so much that I am worried about what to do with this woman. This woman has left me nowhere. I think she is not happy with Richa's engagement and wants to get rid of me. Rather, she is also irritated by Richa and Rishabh. But I cannot bear it all so easily. I will be teaching her a lesson. My respect is given by mixing it with soil."

Here, Richa attended the boss's phone and said, "Hello, Sir I am speaking."

"Hello Richa, where are you now?" The boss asked.

"Sir I'm on the way. I'm about to reach the office." Richa replied.

"I have given that work to Ravi. He must have contacted you. After understanding it and finalize the work, give me this report today." The boss said placing an order.

"Yes Sir, Ravi called me, but I could not talk due to being busy with some work. I soon come to the office and meet Ravi and give you all his reports by evening." Richa replied.

"Oh, well, if you arrive at the office early, maybe Ravi will also be there." The boss spoke in a slightly angry tone.

Richa got a little nervous and said, "Yes sir, don't get upset. Me and Ravi will take care of all your work. I reach the office now."

Saying this, she switched off the phone and started calling Ravi. But his mobile was speaking "Not Reachable". Annoyingly, Richa switched off the phone and started towards Scooty and go towards the office. Also, now no one will receive a call, she will not receive without reaching the office. Thinking this she sharpened his scooty.

It was only a short while before Richa left for the office that the sound of the motorcycle came from outside. When Rita went out and saw, she spontaneously spoke happily, "Oh Ravi, but you have gone to the office, and she said that she will meet you."
