"I will call Ananya and inform her that Ava would be on leave tomorrow" Janani told Armaan who was working on his laptop.He has opted to work from home for a few days, incase of any emergencies."Yeah. That would be nice. Let her take rest for another day" Armaan agreed "Armaan, I would like to join for work" Janani said She really didn't have to ask for his permission for work, but then he had brought her here and he had also paid off the debts in her name, so she thought asking him is justifiable. "Work?? Why do you need to work?? You want money??" He asked and her lips thinned into a straight line."Why does his every talks ends up on money" she mumbled to herself "What??" "No. I have been in touch with Ananya Mittal since Ava joined school and one of the teachers there is going on maternity leave. I think I could take up the temporary post if it is available. Anyways I have the experience" Janani said.Armaan sighed.He should have known.There is no way Janani is going to l
By mid-morning, Janani went to Ava's school to personally meet up with Ananya Mittal.Aadesh who got to know that, volunteered to babysit his niece and nephew, and informed Armaan that he wouldn't be coming to the office that day."Heyy Janani." Ananya greeted her as soon as she saw her "Hello Ananya. I came by so that I could personally thank you for this opportunity " Janani said as she took a seat across Ananya in her office "I should be thanking you Janani. I was in search of a teacher to replace Avanthika for quite some time. It's the matter of small children, so can't give the job to anybody with educational qualifications" Ananya said "Glad that you trust me with these precious babies" "Of course, I have seen how much you love Ava. And even if it's only been a couple of weeks I got to know you enough to trust you with the kids" Ananya smiled.Janani liked the woman.And she respects her too.Being independent and being a single mother is worth anyone's respect."There is an
Armaan picked up his personal phone which had been ringing for a while now and smiled as he saw the caller ID.Inder."When did you come back from your European trip, Inder?? Armaan asked as soon as he picked up.Inder is his best friend. They have been together at school and went to different fields for further studies but they always kept in touch."Landed today morning Maan" "You reached in the morning and you are calling now only?" Armaan asked "Had to make an important visit" Inder smiled thinking about the mother son duo who rules his heart now.He had been away for the last one and a half months due to some unavoidable medical conferences and medical camps in tribal regions around the world."Does this important visit happens to be a woman??" Armaan teased "Maybe" Inder replied vaguely shocking Armaan "Really?? You came back from a world tour and the first thing you do is go visit one of your flings??" Armaan asked surprised "She is not a fling, Armaan" Inder's voice ha
Janani walked up the red carpet apprehensively, her fingers gripping tightly to Armaan's rock hard biceps . There was a huge crowd in the foyer and cameras were flashing in all the directions and she felt very uncomfortable with all the attention they were receiving. She had always known that Armaan is kind of a celebrity in his world. But she never expected this overwhelming attention they were receiving.They paused to talk to a couple who seemed vaguely familiar .They were foreigners and she had no idea how she knew them. But she is pretty darn sure she knows them.Relieved to see at least two friendly faces and trying to figure out where she had seen them before, Janani smiled and chatted, finding them surprisingly approachable.She definitely knew them from somewhere. And they know her too. Why else would they talk to her so freely? She thought with a confused smile.As Armaan led her away into the foyer, she was still smiling. "They were nice. I know I have met them before s
Janani woke up with a pounding headache. It felt as if someone was banging on her skull with a hammer. She groaned, holding onto her head as she sat up on the bed."Here. Take this. It will help with the hangover" she opened her eyes and saw Armaan standing in front of her with a glass of water and some tablets in his hands.She without any question took it and gulped it in a go. "What happened yesterday??" She asked "You got drunk" he shrugged, making her groan.Never in her life she will touch alcohol again.She felt as if her head is going to explode "Ava and Advi??" She asked How could she be so irresponsible to get drunk when she has to take care of two toddlers?"They are having breakfast now. They asked for you" he said with a soft smile.She pushed away her duvet and was about to get down when she heard the sharp intake of his breath.She looked up to see his eyes trained on her body and that's when she realized her dress had come down."Aaaa" she screamed, pulling the d
Janani woke up to the rhythm of a steady heartbeat and the warmth of a strong pair of arms around her. She slowly opened her eyes and was met with the peaceful sight of Armaan sleeping with her in his arms.She slowly raised her hands and touched his cheeks gently before pressing a feather light kiss on his cheeks.A smile formed on her face and she blushed remembering what happened before falling asleep in his arms. She had been kissed before by Vikram and it had never felt like what it felt like yesterday. Whenever Vikram kissed her she could remember her thoughts drifting off to various happenings in her life unlike last night where all she was aware of was of his warm lips being on her. She believed she was not a passionate person when it comes to physical intimacy and had always wondered how it would be to be passionately attracted to someone when Saanvi used to tell her about-Saanvi!!! The reminder was like pouring cold water on her feelings.Along with it the panic set it
Ananya walked in, after Inder made his hasty exit, still confused with his behaviour. One, Inder had never left the kindergarten or her place without meeting Aarav. Not even once.Two, Janani Trivedi. She definitely thought they are married. The children calls her momma. So what is really going on?As Janani saw Ananya coming in, she hurried forward."Ananya. Can we talk??" Janani asked anxiously. "Sure" Ananya informed the other teacher that they will be in her office and to call in case of any emergency."So??" Ananya asked after a few minutes of silence. "I know you have misunderstood something and it was not my intention to deceive you in any way Ananya." Janani began uncomfortably "Janani. I would never judge you if that's what is worrying you. Living together is pretty common nowadays and I really don't have any rights to judge you" Ananya said Living together?? Ananya had again misunderstood her.Janani hesitated. She terribly wants to confide in someone. She wishes like
Armaan couldn't think rationally anymore. All his thoughts and emotions were overshadowed by a powerful rage surging through his veins.The woman who gave birth to his son had deceived him and his staff from day one and now she was dead and as such untouchable. A surrogate mother doesn't have any rights over the child she carries. So the honorary aunt has even less rights upon him.So naturally Janani had not owned up to the truth that she isn't the one who birthed little Advaith.Armaan scoffed.How can she tell him that truth, when it is her only way of making a profit out of this situation. Her best bet was to pretend to he the one who gave birth to Advi, the part of him deeply ingrained with mistrust poked its head and reminded him.No! He refuses to believe that. Didn't he just an hour ago tell Inder that there are two sides to a coin. And didn't Janani tell him she wanted to talk something important What if she was going to tell him everything? He will give her the chanc
