Tears are slowly making their way in my eyes threatening to flow out any time after seeing my baby growing too fast each day and now he is 3 years old .

"Why are you crying beta." Sunita my Massi Ma said to me while coming in the kitchen .

"Nothing Maa." I replied .
Yes ! I call her Maa after my Mom's demise . She always cares about me as she didn't have her own child and always took me as her daughter from the day I was born .

"Beta Adhvika , Don't cry okay everything will be fine . Believe in God's plan , his plans are more bigger than ours ." She said while wiping my tears that were rolling down my eyes slowly .

"I told you to get married , but at the end it is your decision meri Bacchi no one will force you ." She said again and more tears started forming which made my vision blurry.

"But Maa , Who will accept me ? Who will be ready to accept my son ? Who will take the responsibility of this miserable widow?" I asked as tears didn't stop flowing and my knees getting weak , my heart racing and my head spinning . And the next I know I was on the floor on my knees .

"Don't cry my Bacchi , everything will be fine okay ? Now get up as we should make a beautiful cake for Rehan." She said crouching beside me and wiping my tears . She made me stand up from my place as I wiped my tears and the voice of clapping reached my ears.

I looked towards the kitchen door and saw Rehan coming towards us while clapping and showing his small smile . He came and stood in front of me gesturing me to pick him up .

He didn't speak till now and this concerns me a lot , I asked his doctor he said that it is normal  but if he didn't speak in upcoming years then he have to take therapy .

I wanted him to admit in play school but they denied his admission because of his speaking problem . This was an another bad news for my son making my heart clench in pain .

I came out of my thoughts when Rehan again started clapping and gesturing to which I reacted by picking him up and he rested his head on my shoulder clutching my t shirt in his little fists making me smile at his little actions .

"Beta , I am here and Rita is also here to help me , you can make him sleep for sometime he may be tired and you should not stress yourself." Sunita Maa said while putting her hand on my shoulder consoling me .

Rita is our maid who help us with Rehan and also in kitchen. I live in my penthouse which I brought 3 years ago after Rehan's Birth when No one was ready to accept me even my brother and sister in law were not ready to keep me there .

I currently work from home because of Rehan , my baby and my whole world .

I reached our room and placed him on the bed ,he was already in deep slumber  a cute pout forming on his face with his little chubby cheeks . He is just the copy of me and a little bit of Aayansh .

Remembering Ansh made my heart thumping hard against my chest as tears flowed from my eyes and sudden pain occurred there in my chest .

I wiped my tears immediately and stood up from the bed covering sleeping  Rehan with  duvet .

'I will not cry anymore , I am strong my Rehan makes me strong'. These thoughts gave me power to live in this world . 

I closed the door behind and walked towards the kitchen where Rita di and Sunita Maa were making birthday cake for Rehan .

"Maa , let me help you." I said while holding the utensils for helping Sunita Maa in making dishes and cake as today is Rehan's 3rd birthday .

"Did rehan sleep ?" Sunita Maa asked to which I nodded .

"Okay you can help me but after that I have to talk about something with you ." She said making me raise my brow at her in confusion.

"Don't give me that look." She said fake glaring at me which made me chuckle at her words.

"How are you Di?" Rita di asked to which I replied with a smile , " I am fine Di  what about you?"
She is just like my friend , a good friend who was by my side everyday in these three years .

"I am also good Di." She replied making me nod and we all started preparing the dishes for Rehan's birthday .

"You are Fired!!" I yelled at the woman standing in front of me , her whole body trembling with fear and head hung low .

"Sir-" She Stuttered as I cut her off in between .

"Did I ask you to give explanation?" I roared at her and making other employees flinch after the change in my voice .

"No Sir-" She Stuttered again , this time fidgeting with her fingers .

Before I could yell at the top of my lungs again , Mohit rushed towards me  with my mobile  phone in his  hands  .

"Sir , there is an important call for you." He said while holding my mobile phone out which I took from him .

"Take care of this mess and inform me as soon as possible, I want the people in this company to work and not to gossip about other people's lives." I said the last part looking at the woman , who was now looking at my direction her eyes and nose red from weeping the crocodile tears .

I didn't wait for Mohit's reply and directed towards my cabin which was on 70th floor .

As the elevator pinged stopp , I stepped inside it , while checking my mobile phone . I came across the recent calls and found the last call from my mother .

Without wasting any other time I called her back to which she picked the call in two rings .

"Yes?" I asked with my usual stern tone.

"Kabhi toh acche se bol lia kar." She replied making me roll my eyes at her sentence.

"Kya kaam tha apko Devi Maa?" I replied with sarcasm dripping from my tone . My mother and grandmother are  the only people who can make me do such things .

"Itna bhi acche se ni bolna tha , leave it by the way we have to go today you remember?" She replied to which I listened the more of utensil sounds than her voice .

"Ok I'll come back soon." I said and then hung the call bidding her bye and convincing her to believe me that I'll be there on time .

I put my phone back in my pocket and the elevator came to a halt . I stepped out from the elevator and directly went towards my cabin .

Entering my cabin, I started doing my work with double speed so that I don't have to face the wrath of my mom .

I was engaged in my work when I listened a knock on my cabin's door.

"Come in ." I said sternly without looking up from my laptop.

"Sir , Today our most productive employee  is on half day leave and she sent you an e-mail regarding her leave." He said making me look at him with my eyebrows furrowed.

"What ? Who gave her the permission to take a leave?" I roared while looking at Mohit who was holding some files in his hands .

"In her email she said about her kid's birthday or something and will do overtime too if required." He completed in a go .

"Is she the one who is doing work from home ?" I asked him to which he nodded his head in yes.

"Ok , then tell her about the technical issue in marketing department to be solved till next morning , I want no delays or another excuses." I said sternly and looked towards my laptop and he said an 'okay' .

"You have to go through my schedule once more as the new event is coming up in the next month." I said this time looking at him who is nodding and typing what I say on his phone.

He is like this from the beginning, when he was fresh in this company and he started writing notes of what I say to him to do .
At first , I was also in a mere shock of what type of person he is . But he is the responsible one that I know .

"You can proceed your work now." I completed my sentence and he left from there not before nodding and I started working my ass off as always.

He has a problem with his head , he always nods !!
