#21| A new friend

Rehan slipped his hand away from mine and ran towards the classroom room . I looked at door to see a little girl wearing a yellow skirt and her hair done in two pigtails that looked extremely pretty on her .

Rehan went towards her because she was crying and he said something in her ear that she looked at him , her aquamarine eyes shining with fresh tears . She gave him her bright smile and he blushed ! This little boy literally blushed . I stood rooted there on my spot watching both of the kids in awe and I can tell that they would become the best friends . 

"They would be great friends right?" A voice came from behind startling me and I jumped on my spot . Turning back , I saw a woman with brown hair wearing black jeans with a matching top and the same colour heels . She is pretty with her glasses and her smile was similar to the little girl's smile having a dimple on the left cheek .

"UH- I'm sorry , I didn't mean to scare you ." Her expression changed to a little sorry one as her bright smile dropped . I then got to know the reason was because of my scowling face .
"Oh its okay ." I offered her a little smile and just by that her face lit up .

"Its not okay though . I am Anvi Williams." She offered her hand for a hand-shake which I took with a smile .

"I'm Adhvika." I replied still holding her hand .

"Ohh." Her mouth formed into an 'O' and then dropped into a light smile .

"Mom." A little voice came which made both of us look towards the source of the sound . Upon turning , there stood the little girl in her cute outfit and beside her Rehan is standing his eyes fixed on her .

"Mom , Am I sunflower ?" She asked her mother with a questioning expression .

"No baby Why ?" Her mother replied with the same dramatic voice . I watched the mother daughter duo sharing the same expression and I can tell that they don't even need a DNA test to confirm their relation .

"He said I am a sunflower and Sunflowers don't cry." The girl's reply shocked both of us and we looked at each other sharing the same expressions .

"Oh baby , He's right." Anvi cooed .
"But now only you said that I'm not a Sunflower." She pouted . Anvi opened her mouth to reply but got interrupted by the ringing of bell .

"Let's get into your class babies." I said and they all nodded like an obedient child . We all entered into the classroom which was beautifully decorated with charts of poems and the walls are painted of bright colours short stories painted on them . There are almost twenty children sitting on the desks along with their parents .

We occupied the table chairs near to the window side and sat together . Rehan sitting beside the girl and Anvi and I were sitting behind both of our children . All other parents were sitting behind their children on the chairs .

"What's the name of your kid?" Anvi whispered near my ear .
"Rehan." I replied looking at him who was looking around the class .
"What about yours?" I asked her this time .
"Arin Williams." She smiled while saying .
"That's a nice name ." I exclaimed and she grinned like a child .

"Good morning dear Parents and students." The teacher arrived in class putting a bright smile on her face . She might be in her twenties , wearing light pink coloured kurta with palazzo and jutti and her hair tied in a bun .
Everyone stood up and wished the teacher and then we were asked to sit as the teacher started to give some instructions .

"You know , you're are the first person I met who didn't judge me by my last." Anvi whispered in my ear after sometime which made me tilt my head towards left and look at her pretty face .
"Why so?" I asked confusion evident in my tone .
"Because my name is Indian but my last name is Williams ." She blurted in a go and here I didn't even notice the difference between the names .

"That should not concern people at all." I stated knowingly .
" I too think the same." She nodded and then we looked ahead , our focus on the class where students were giving their introduction speeches .

"Rehan." Teacher called Rehan's name for the next introduction speech . Listening his name being called he looked back at me and I nodded giving him consent and motivation with my sweet smile . He stood up carefully from his bench and smoothening his uniform like an adult he moved in front of the class , facing at least twenty students and their parents . He put his cutest of smiles and started giving his speech .

"Good Morning Everyone . I am Rehan and I am three years old . My mother's name is Mrs. Adhvika . My friend's name is Arin Williams . I like to play games . Thank you." His speech was completed and everyone clapped in appreciation . He came to his desk smiling and sat beside Arin to whom he called his friend just a moments ago .

"Your kid is so smart . He made Arin his friend so easily . Arin isn't that type to become someone's friend so easily." Anvi spoke with a shock expression which is totally evident on her face .

"He is good at making relations." I replied with a smile knowing about my child perfectly .
"It's turn for our last student Arin Williams." This time teacher announced Arin's name . She stood up from her bench smiling at us , we showed her thumps up as she went in front of the classroom .

"Good Morning Everyone . My name is Arin Williams . My Father's name is Aaron Williams and My Mother's name is Anvi Williams . I like to read books and play games . Thank You." She too did great and we all clapped to appreciate her . She came back to her place and sat on the bench beside Rehan .

"One more thing I noticed." Anvi spoke again gaining my attention .
"What thing?" I was confused as hell now . Anvi and her ocean of questions . I sighed and looked at her again .

"Rehan didn't tell his Father's name." She spoke which made me gulp visibly and my face turned cold . My heartbeats could be listened from far . There is something rising in the pit of my stomach and it feels like someone tied my tongue in knots . Suddenly , There is a ringing of bell and I sighed in half relief that I do not have to answer her question at all .

"Are you okay , Adhvika ?" She asked with concern filled eyes which I couldn't ignore at all . She is overall sweet , kind and with a pretty heart but my inner demons aren't ready to leave me at all .

Instead of replying to her I nodded in response while blinking again and again in order to prevent my eyes from filling with water .
"Thank you dear parents and students for you cooperation . Its a little break then parents must leave their kids as the classes will begin from today onwards." Teacher announced and moved out of the class . I looked around to see every parent talking with their kids and smiles lingering on everyone's face .

"Mumma , Give me your Phone please." Rehan tugged on my Kurti and showed me his puppy eyes to convince me to give him mobile phone .

"Why Baby? Its not good to watch phone while you are in school." I explained with a smile , not giving him scolding at all . He didn't need them , he is a good boy . I thought internally .

"Mumma pleaseeeee two minutes only." He requested again now showing his cute pout .
"I must not interfere but Adhvika please give him phone maybe he needs to see something." Anvi spoke this time pinching Rehan's cheek softly and he nodded in response agreeing with her statement .

"Okay but I need a reason." I put the condition and his face changed to something like happy ? Why would be he happy ?
"I want to call Dad and tell him about my first day of school." He grinned leaving me off guard at his statement .

"See , I told you." Anvi spoke knowingly and I nodded while giving my mobile phone to Rehan .He took phone from my hand and went a little far from me to talk to his dearest DAD . But I am a little sad and angry at that man for lying to me . He told me that it was fake but how could I trust him ? What was the proof that he was right about what he said yesterday ? Maybe he was right , That video might be fake but my extra cautious brain isn't ready to trust on it . After all at every step of my life I've faced betrayals and liars in front me .

"What's the name of your husband?" Anvi asked snapping me out of my miserable world .
"Rajveer Singh Rathore." The name slipped from my mouth before I could know .
"I think I've listened this name before." She spoke thinking where she listened the name .
"You might have listened it on television." I cleared her confusion and she looked at me nodding .
"I think so too." She blinked twice .

"So , We can be friends right?" She offered me her smile along with her question and I searched her face to look for any lies .
