Rahul ,sit here on the bed and I will tell you everything you need to know.
buh first why did you come here ??
I couldn't sleep so I decided to come to you but when I got here you were talking to yourself and I heard you say "I can stop thinking about how to tell Atharva that Rahul is his son"...
mama is he my father........?"cried".
hey hey don't cry ,don't do thus, listen the truth is he is your father but I can't tell you details of how we got separated ok but we are sorry ,don't cry please please Rahul...
he hugged me.....
why didn't you tell me...?
why haven't you told Mr handsome yet......?
because I was afraid he will take you away from me Rahul...
no mama I won't leave you no matter what please tell papa,I want a nice family like the ones my friends have too mama...
I will tell him tomorrow Rahul.......I have decided to tell him tomorrow when he visits.
ok mama ....
now come here ,let me sing a song for you to sleep ok.
he climbs the bed and within sometime of hearing his favourite song sang by me ,he fell asleep.
Not long,there comes a beautiful morning,the birds chirping in the garden,
and the morning sun scorching through the window.
I went to make breakfast and ate with my son.
he was happy he was gonna have a dad but I was thinking of how to say it all .
I was also thinking,what if he takes my son from me.
but my son needed a father so I had to take the risk.
A door's bell Brought me out of my thinking.
it was Atharva.he showed up as Early as 7 am ,it was a holiday so no work and no school.
you are Early "I said".
yh where is Rahul .."he asked"
he went to his room ,actually I told him to go because I want to tell you something.
ok yeah that's why I came ,you seemed serious about whatever you wanna say so I had to come."he said"
yes Atharva,you know alot happened five years ago and within this time that we got separated too alot happened.
The thing is ,I.....I....ummm.....,
tell me what's it,why are you stammering "he asked "
yes sorry ,I want to say that ,I was pregnant when we got divorced....
Huh....Imlie what are you saying......?
yes I was pregnant when we got divorced,I didn't know I was pregnant until some days after the divorce.
and that's when I decided to move to this place so that we wouldn't have to meet again.
so I don't get you,what are you trying to say huh,that what ,Rahul is my son huh?
and that you hid my son from me for five years ,is it?
I am sorry but we were already divorced and there was no other option than to take responsibilities by myself ok."I said"
whattt ......oh God....my son will think I didn't care and I wasn't a good dad and that I wasn't by his side.
no no no Atharva,he knows everything,he got to know it yesterday,he heard me talking to myself and I had to explain everything to him so he understands that circumstances caused the separation please.
now I think our mistakes shouldn't affect our son ,he needs a father,he needs a family please ?....
That's too much to grasp in a day......"he said".
took his car keys and left to God knows where...
I was so afraid he might do something.
mum where is dad" Rahul asked"
he went to get something,he will be back.
he got angry and left right,he doesn't want me does he....?
I want you Rahul ,you are my son......
he said standing at the door,we didn't notice he was already standing there.
He came forward and hugged his son and said again "you are my son and I do want you ok "
I was only a little angry at your mum for keeping you away for whole five years ,you know.
she's sorry papa.
I'm sorry Imlie,it's all My fault we couldn't have the best family,but I guess we can fix things now right.....?
yes Atharva,we can.
and before I could say anything else ,he got on one knee and proposed to me with the ring he bought after he angrily drove away.
"will you marry me Imlie " please don't say no,I have always wanted this and I want us to fix things and begin something new living behind whatever that happened five years ago please.
I don't know what to say Atharva,but it’s a yes ok I will yes .
(they all laughed)
he hugged her and their son
I missed you so much Atharva,
I missed you too Imlie.
Three months later ,Atharva and I got married again and finally had a proper wedding night and a beautiful family.
The end.......
