His child's mother

Vardhaan Singh Yaduvanshi

In my 31 years of life, no one has created such a mess as my son creates, who is sleeping soundly after making me awake the whole night. But I love this mess... my beautiful mess.
The baby can sleep, but I can't because work needs me. So, after kissing my baby's head, I get up from bed and do my daily routine.
I came out of the washroom and saw Kunnu. He is sleeping peacefully, but I know he misses his Mamma, and I can't do anything about it because we both lost her the day Kunnu was born.

That was a painful night, but we both accepted fate. She will live forever in our hearts.
I look at the picture of us. Vani Vardhaan Singh Yaduvanshi - my wife who is no more... it's not that I loved her, but I respected her a lot.
I heard a knock on the door that took me out of my thoughts.

"Yes," I said.
Mom entered the room.
"Beta, your breakfast, because I know you will not leave Kunnu alone," she said.
"Okay, Maa, don't worry. I will eat on time and will not repeat my mistakes again because I know my family needs me," I said.
Mom hugged me.

"Okay, my baby," she said.

"Mom, I am not a baby... I am a father of a baby. By which angle do I look like a baby to you?" I said irritatingly.

She laughed and said, "You will always be my baby, okay... now don't argue with me and eat your breakfast."

Mom went out, and I completed my breakfast. After that, I took Kunnu in my arms, of course, without disturbing his sleep, and went downstairs. Mom took him from me... he is the star of everyone's eye.

Time skip to office

Such useless people can't do their work properly. I fired 5 people already because they are lacking in management. Such a bad morning. My secretary came...
"Sir, you have a meeting in five minutes and then site checking of three places where construction is going on."

"Okay... let's go, and give me details of each and every hotel, resort, and restaurant before night. Also, ask the designing team to give me their design draft before the weekend. Is it clear?" I said.

"Y...esss, sir."
It's 9 o'clock by the time my work is completed... I know Mom will be pissed off because it's not easy to handle Kunnu without me.
I reached home and heard my son crying.
I quickly went to him... he is looking at me with doe eyes. I felt bad because I can't be with him all day. Papa and Chachu are also handling the business of Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, so they are only home on weekends.

My cousins are still in college. So, all the work came upon me... but I love my work; it keeps me away from unnecessary thoughts and keeps me busy.

After seeing me, he stopped crying... it's been a few days he's becoming more restless. I don't know why. He feels a void because of Vani.

I came into the room with him, and after struggling, he finally slept. After eating dinner and taking a bath, this day also came to an end.
I can't even sleep properly after Vani's death.

Flashback
We both were friends from college time, and after taking the position of CEO, we rarely met.
But one day, we both accidentally met in a club and drank too much. We both slept with each other. In the morning, when I woke up, I saw no one beside me. But I do remember all the things that happened between us.
I tried to connect with her but failed.
After 2 months, she came to me.

"Vardhaan, I am pregnant, and it's your baby. I don't know what to do. My family will kill me if they get to know," she cried.

"Okay, okay, enough... don't cry. I will do something. You can trust me," I said.
After thinking a lot... I decided, why don't we get married? My family will be happy, Vani's problem will be solved, and I also know her, so there will not be a problem in understanding... she understands my work and priorities.
I will gladly take the responsibility of the baby and her.
So, I told her...

"Vardhaan, you don't have to sacrifice. We will find some other solution. It's not only your mistake that night... I was also involved. I can't be a burden to you... it's about my baby."

"It's my baby too... and we both will be perfect companions together. Stop thinking too much... because I am ready to take your burden on my shoulders, just like in college. Now stop crying; I need my sassy Vani back," I said jokingly.

"Hey, I'm not a burden. It's my right to annoy you, and you have to handle me for a lifetime. Think again properly because you know I'm not an easy girl," she said.
Finally, she stopped crying.

"I am more than happy for you and our baby," I said.
She chuckled, and we both talked a lot.
I think it's our destiny.
I told my parents about Vani... they were too happy because finally, at the age of 30, he is ready to get married.

Vani's parents also agreed. We both got married simply with our close ones.
After one month, I told my parents that Vani was pregnant. They were on cloud nine... Vani was also happy with my family.
We both never got intimate after that night. Yeah... she needed a forehead kiss every night.

I smiled, remembering her antics. We both were happy... I started liking her and was too used to her presence.

After coming home... I needed her with me. Her talks, her cravings, and her craziness. Every night she read a story... me and the baby both used to listen.

When it was her seventh month... she was at her parents' home. While driving back home, her car collided with a truck. A tear slipped from my eye, remembering that incident.

We rushed to the hospital after getting to know about the accident.
I basically threatened the doctors to save her.

But they couldn't do anything.
But she gave me the greatest blessing of my life: my baby.

I used to skip meals... my room haunted me. With my family's support and the baby's presence, I survived that time and became strong again for Kunnu. I decided Vani would forever remain in my heart, and no one could replace her.
