Nell got out of Nathan's cabin and called his friend Aakash, he picked up his call in one Ring, " Where are you, men?" Aakash asked, enthusiastically.
"In your town, " Nell replied, and on the video call.
"Nell, you are in..." No words came out of Aakash's mouth.
"Yes! I am here but where are you?" Nell asked but instead of giving him an answer, Aakash questioned him back.
"Whose child you are holding so close to your chest, he is exactly looking like your Xerox copy, " Aakash asked, but before Nell answers him Aakash cut off his friend.
"Wait! What the f**k! Now don't say that this little champ is your and Maya's son..." Aakash asked in a full excited tone, jumping on the chair.
"Yes, this is my son, Theodore Dark Choudhary..." Hearing the name from Nell's mouth, Aakash made a frowned face.
"Theodore Dark Choudhary! What kind of English name is this, who has given this name to our little Champ..." Aakash asked with confused expressions.
"His grandfather and I find this name cute for my son after all he is honestly the gift of god to me, " Nell said, kissing his son.
"Uncle Vikram? Since when he started liking English names...?" Aakash asked,
"I'm not talking about my father but I am talking about Naina's father Mr. Will Armstrong..." Hearing Will Armstrong's name, Aakash's eyes opened wide in shock.
"Will you say something or keep staring at me like an idiot..." Nell asked, holding his son and the cell phone properly in his hands.
"I need some time to react, your words are still trying to process in my mind..." Aakash said, staring at little Theo who was smiling, looking at the cell phone screen.
" Why is it so hard that you are taking so long to process my words?..." Nell asked, putting his cell phone on the stand and holding his son properly in his arms so that his son doesn't fall from his hand.
"How? When? And you are... You are talking as if you remember..." This time Nell cut off his friend.
"I lied about my memory loss, " this time, hearing Nell's words Aakash's mouth opened wide in shock.
"What? And when did you plan to have a baby with Naina...?" Aakash asked still with stunned expressions.
"I and Naina had crossed our limits many times in India, I wanted to get her pregnant so that we can get married soon. But things got a messy turn and the palace of my dream was crushed by the Armstrong family," Nell said in a bitter tone, thinking about the Armstrong family.
Nell could understand their anger and insecurities towards his family and him, but they had no right to snatch his first child's pregnancy experience from him.
"Nell are you alright? You aren't looking well to me. Is everything ok? Do you need any help...?" Aakash asked with so much concern.
"Yes, I need a job and a little place to stay at your house for a few days...?" Hearing Nell's words, Aakash got more confused, he was about to ask Nell if he was cracking a joke with him but when Aakash witnessed the serious expressions on Nell's face he dropped his plan to ask him such a stupid question.
"What are you saying, Nell? Your grandparents have owned many properties in the USA, then why do you want to stay in my small apartment..." Aakash asked,
" it's a long story, I'll tell you once we meet, sent me the address of your apartment... I am coming..." Nell said,
Aakash closed his eyes for a second and rubbed his fingers on his forehead. " Right now I am in Germany, and I'll be back after six months, but you can use my apartment. I'll tell my neighbor to give you my apartment's keys. And about your job, then let's check what I can do for you..." Aakash said,
"I need some money too..." Nell said,
"Just send me your account no. I'll transfer..." Aakash said,
"Thanks, man!" Nell said,
"Don't embarrass me, man, if you didn't help me in past I won't be here..." Aakash said with a smile, thinking about the past when Nell helped him financially with many things.
"Don't say such words..." Nell said,
"Leave this discussion man because it won't end, I need a big party from you once I come back, after all, You are the first boy in our batch who has become a father of this handsome-looking little guy..." Aakash said, making face to make Little Theo smile.
"Of course Man, " Nell said, but his smile wasn't reaching his eyes, there was no joy and happiness on his face, and even his eyes were also looking so dull and hopeless.
"Nell! What about Naina? Where is she?" Aakash asked in a hesitant tone
Nell turned his face, his red eyes once again welled up with tears but he blinked his tears and look at Aakash with a forced smile, unfortunately, the distress was also dripping from his smile.
"She chose her family! " hearing his words, Aakash felt the other punch on his mental health and he started staring at his friend with astonishing expressions.
"What? How? I mean Naina, No... how can she choose her family over you and her, own child? " Aakash asked
"They are her family..." Nell said,
"Then what about you and our little Theo, how old he is...?" Aakash asked
Nell looked at his tiny Son, " 3 months and a few days, " Nell replied, caressing the face of his son.
"He is very small, how you'll take care of him, Nell...? How could she do this to you...( Nell was about to say something but Aakash put his palm on his mouth for a few seconds) Oh my god! f**k! She was pregnant that was the reason why she left all the important projects and succumbed away from the outer world..." Aakash said, and look at Nell.
"You know she still loves you, I was working in her company a few months back but I hadn't seen any cozy relationship between Justin and Naina, they only used to fight, and Naina, she used to spend all her time either in-office, set or on her ramp, " Aakash said, thinking about Naina's past.
Nell smiled, hearing this information from Aakash's mouth.
"You are Smiling Man! You should fight back for her Nell, she is doing all this because of the Armstrong family, if you and Naina fight together, the Armstrong will easily give up so easily because Mr. Will and Mrs. Anaa love Naina so much, but yes! Justin can create problems for you..." Aakash said, looking at Nell with stressful expressions.
Nell sighed, then looked at his son, " if she would have come with me, I would fight the whole world for her,
Would have taken her away from her parents, I would even kill Justin with my, own hands for her, but she chose them..." Nell said and looked at His friend.
"Come on Nell! She loves you, you can't give up on her like this! Until I haven't seen your son I was also angry with her, judging her but now my doubt is completely clear, and you won't be able to live with her..." Aakash once again said,
"Justin is her husband, between her love and her responsibility, she will always choose her responsibility.
And I know why she took that decision, but the problem is that she choose to stay with her family, and I don't want to force my decisions on her anymore. And about me, so her memories are enough for me to spend the rest of my life, now even I have my munchkin with me, he'll take care of me and I'll take care of him, " Nell said, making his son smile by tickling him.
Theo's giggling sound was soothing her burning heart, pampering his pierced soul and healing his wounded body.
" Nell..." This time Nell didn't let him finish his words and cuts him off,
"You don't have to worry about me and my baby, just take care of yourself and come back soon, yes! Please don't forget to find a job for me, " Nell said,
"What about your documents...!" Aakash asked,
"I have all the documents on my cell phone, even I have some business mates here, but I don't want to take their help..." Nell said,
"But you can take Cassandra's help, you know you were madly in love with you, since, college time..." Aakash reminded Nell about Cassandra but Nell made face.
"She was never in love with me, she just wanted to compete with me, and I will never take her help..." Nell said almost in an irritated tone.
"Oh my! My! That girl still has the same effect on you..." Aakash teased Nell but Nell glared at him.
Aakash raised his hand in the air in a surrendering manner but Aakash's smile was saying that he was planning something for his best friend.
"Ok! Sorry, just take care of yourself and call me, if you need anything..." Aakash said, Nell, nodded his head, and cut the call.
Nell picked up his call and twirled to walk towards the elevator but encountered his parents and Grandma.
Their eyes got lit up with happiness when they witnessed the little child in Nell's arms, they all wanted to see the baby's face, and their hands are itching to hold their grandchildren so with slow steps they all moved towards Nell.
Nell was furious with everyone because his family had written the story of his ruin. He does not want anyone to even touch his child but his heart does not allow him, so when his grandma took his son from his hand, he allowed his grandma to hold his son.
"Oh my god! He exactly looks like you Nell, he is so beautiful, so gorgeous and his eyes, Oh my! My, he is truly a blessing of God, " grandma said, with tear-filled eyes.
Vikram, Billa, and Veena were also staring at their grandchild with so many emotions their eyes were also flowing because of intense emotions.
Vikram held the tiny palms of his grandson and Veena was kissing Theo's feet. Billa closed his eyes and turned his face in the other direction, " You should see him because this is your only chance to see my son" Nell said to Billa.
Billa stared at Nell with a questioning expression, anger was dripping from Nell's eyes. All of Nell's offenders are standing in front of his eyes but Nell couldn't do anything against them. " After today, I'll not let any of you meet my son, " Nell said, gulping his anger with his saliva.
"Nell! ( Vikram yelled his name ) what the f**k are you saying...?" Vikram scolded his son.
"I have lost my everything because of you all past deeds, she left me and my son because of you all. And I'll never forgive any of you for ruining my life..." Nell said, blinking the tear that welled up in his left eye.
" you guys should also feel the pain that you guys have written in other's destiny..." Nell said, looking at his grandma
"Nell..." Damyanti tried to say something to her grandson but Nell was feeling so devasted at this moment, that's why he showed his palm to his grandma.
"I...I don't want to hear anything, Grandma, just don't give me any explanation about Grandpa, " Nell said,
"May I know the name of my great-grandson...?" Damyanti asked,
Nell looked into his grandma's eyes but his heart clenched when he witnessed tears in her eyes.
Nell stepped near and wiped her tears, " As you just call him * The gift of God* that's what his name is, ( Nell smiled looking at his son) Theodore..." Damyanti kissed little Theo after hearing his name.
"It's the beautiful name..." Damyanti said and passed little Theo to her grandson " I always knew that you are different from your father ( Vikram made a guilty face) Today you proved me right, I am so proud of you son" Damyanti said, kissing Nell's forehead.
"If you want, you can come with me..." Nell said, to his grandma but Damyanti put her palm on Nell's cheek with so much love.
"I have to pay some past dues to your grandpa, that's why I can't leave his side right now, but one day I'll surely come to see you and this bundle of joy, and I hope you'll allow me to see this little sweet candy..." Grandma asked, looking at Little Theo, who was smiling at his great-grandma.
"Maa..." Vikram tried to say something to his mother, but Damyanti showed her warning finger to her son, without looking into his eyes. Vikram shut his mouth with an unhappy expression but Veena held her husband's hand to support him.
"I'll share my new address with you..." Nell said, hearing his words Veena held her son's hand.
"Nell! will you honestly leave us all?" Veena asked Nell with tear-filled eyes.
Nell pulled his hand out of his Mother's hand and passed him a sarcastic smile, " I have already left you all mom,
You guys also deserve to live in the same in which Mr. And Mrs. Armstrong's lived so many years,
You guys should also have to feel the same pain that I have been feeling with my son...
If I wasn't your son, I would have written the most painful punishment for you both, but unfortunately, I can't do this..." Nell said in a heart-piercing tone, it wasn't easy for Nell to utter these kind of words for his parents, but he couldn't help it,
He couldn't deal with his emotions,
He couldn't handle his mental state,
He couldn't understand what was happening in his life,
Nell sighed and moved towards the elevator but before he steps into the elevator, he heard his name.
Nell twirled and found Justin standing with Nathan and Arthur, actually, Nathan and Arthur are standing a little away from Justin.
**Why Justin is calling me...** Nell thoughts,
Justin moved towards Nell and stood in front of him but all the time Justin's gaze was fixed on little Theo.
