I did my office work , got a little late and here I am now paying for the omission I have done . My Mom and grandmother both are standing in front of me in my cabin with hands folded on their chest and glaring at me .

"I told you to come home soon." My mom said .

"You are not obedient." My grandmother said.

"You never listen to us." Mom again spoke.

"Your wife will give you a nice lesson." My grandmother spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her voice .
I know where she is taking this conversation to . These Rathore women are the most dangerous ones but I obey them the most .

I ignored the comments from both the ladies and stood up from my desk , took my coat from the back of my chair and wore it .

"Sorry Ladies." I apologised . My half of the life is spent while giving both of them my apologies maybe that's why I don't feel like apologising to others .

"Now come soon, we have to inspect the orphanage." My grandmother said.

The orphanage is run by the ladies of our family and every weekend they go for the inspection of the orphanage and also  the condition of the children is checked . After every three months check up is done of the children .

Today is the day for the inspection as well as the check up day . The time given was 1 in the noon and its 1:30 , So thats why these ladies are burning my ass with their anger .

We all moved towards the parking lot and I gave the instructions to Mohit on the phone call regarding the issues aligning in the purchase department and the conflicts going on the top level .

"We have already packed the required stuff so you directly turn towards the orphanage." Dadi ( grandmother ) said  to which I nodded as I turned the ignition of the car on and drove towards the way which I was told to .

Thank to the almighty God , that traffic was less and we arrived in 15 minutes.

I parked my car in the lot and opened the door of the passenger seat for Dadi . I held her hand and she was saying something which I couldn't hear because of the traffic noises on the road .

".......You must be punctual next time ." She said and I closed the door , my mother was already out setting the dupatta of her saree .

"Sure." I said and started walking behind them scrolling my phone the last time to check further notifications from the office .

As we entered the main hall we were greeted by Jiya and she gave us a 'Good afternoon'  and Mom and Dadi blessed her .

"Is doctor here?" I asked my eyes searching the whole lobby which was filled with a few visitors playing with children .

"Yes , he is already there in the medical corner." She said while checking  the file placed in front of her .

"Beta , you take a round at the medical corner . Me and your Dadi will check the files and other places." Mom completed the sentence as she was listing all the places and things to check in the orphanage.

"Ok , you both should head to the Infant corner first." I said and they both hummed . I placed my phone back into the pocket of my suit's pocket and started walking towards the medical corner .

Its not far away , its the 3rd room on the garden side where the garden can be seen clearly and the rising sun's rays enter the room lighting it up warm and cozy .

I reached towards the medical room it wasn't filled with children as the check up is done turn by turn . This check-up is for the children of the age above four years .

The doctor was inspecting the child as I can see  the curtains were already drawn . The room has leather seats of blue colour and there is a partition in the room where the doctor checks up the children .

There are two beds in the one corner and I saw a small boy sitting on one of them and playing with a car . He has chubby cheeks and he is not above four years as my knowledge says.

I was completely lost in his activities that I snapped into the reality when he put the small car in his mouth while the clutching it with his tiny hands.

I took huge steps towards him , when I reached near him I put the car out from his mouth , as I did so his lips wobbled and he made grabby hands towards the car but I didn't give it to him .

I picked him up instead and he didn't make any noise so I took him out of the room in the garden .

There are many flowers in the garden blooming proudly , there are trees , benches and swings .

I took him towards the swing with a bench under the shade of a tree . I placed him in my lap and he looked at me with his dense lashes and doe eyes. He chewed his bottom lip trying to stand up on my lap and his tiny hands grabbing my suit for support .

I placed my big hands on his small body to support him and his next action took me by surprise.

He stood on my lap and placed his both hands on either of my cheeks cupping them in his small hands .

He stroked my cheeks and his lips started moving slowly , its like he is trying to form words but isn't avle to form them .

His lips were still moving in slow movements when he spoke , "Daaaada!". Still looking at me , his lips wobbled and he started crying .

I held him up ,  hugged him and stroked his back to stop him from crying . It took me time to stop him crying and he looked up from the crook of my neck and again said , "Daada." While his fingers stroked my cheeks again .

"I am not your Daada , Baby." I cooed him but his eyes filled with water again .

"Shhhh , baby ." I hushed him and kissed his chubby cheeks . He started giggling at the action and a smile threatened to form on my lips .

"Daada ... Daada ... You are my Daada." He said in a gibberish language and hugged me .

I sighed at this child , who is referring me as his Dad but I can't say anything or I don't want to make him cry .

He was continuously speaking 'Daada' like its some kind of Mantra .

I was so lost in him that I didn't hear the distant Thud but when My eyes went towards the source, my body freezed .

There is some girl who is lying on the grass or maybe fainted . Taking the Baby in my arms I stalked near her body . She is wearing a light pink palazzo suit . Her hip length hair curly and flowing on her face hiding her features .

When I placed the baby down on the grass and started inspecting the girl's body , he moved towards her and sat by her side , "Maama." He said and it took me no time to understand that she is his mom .

"Baby, will you follow me ?" I asked him to which he nodded obediently.

I placed on arm behind her head , the other went under her knee and I picked her up in a bridal style . I didn't get to notice her face as her hair were covering the most of it but her lips are the shade of pink and soft .

I shrugged off the thoughts and saw the baby walking himself in front of me as I carried his mom towards the medical room .

I entered the room , placing  her body on one of the bed I picked up the baby in my arms and made him sit on the other bed .

I removed the hair strands which were covering her face and my breath hitched for a moment . She is beautiful , so gorgeous I haven't seen someone like this who can take my heart in a snap of second . Her lips are the shade of pink and her eyes closed with dense lashes .

I was looking at her fainted figure - fucking staring at her fainted figure . I saw her eyes fluttering and went towards the drawn curtains to ask for the doctor.
