ESCAPING THE INESCAPABLE

CHAPTER 6

VIVAAN

Beauty , innocence , kindness are a rare mixture nowadays  , a girl with all of these traits is said to be one in a million , some girls who are beautiful thinks everything is under their feet , they walk like they are the only queen ,kindness and innocence is an unfamiliar word to them . but call it my luck or just a dream , i met one , she was beautiful not just on the outside but inside as well , she was like the first ray of sun , so warm so energetic and so full of life . Her eyes , they were something that wanted me to drown into them , her voice was so serene , so soothing that i wanted to vanish every other sound in the world . she had that magnetic field around her that was attracting me to her more and more .

It was weird for me to feel something like this , i have never felt this attracted towards anyone in the first meeting , it was first time when i felt so restless for a stranger , she had some kinda affect on me that it was making me feel certain things that i have never felt with anyone . 

she was fierce and fiesty ..the way she took ishaan with her and snapped at that slut of a teacher , i was stunned for a moment , i was literally amazed to see ishaan doing what she told her , i mean ishaan rarely listens to me and rarely socializes , i feel sad to accept this fact but i know i am not able to provide him the childhood he deserved , i can provide him luxury , but i know am failing to provide him the warmth his mother would have provided him , i love him but he misses the love of his father , i spend time with him but he needs someone by his side everytime , he is a child and this is the age where he should be spoiled as well as taken care of ...but i don't think so i am providing him with those things as well . 

My collar went hot when i heard what that b***h said , i seriously wanted to rip her throat off at that time , how dare she called my ishaan motherless , i wanted to teach her a lesson she would never forget but the girl infront of me did a way better job than me . 

"excuse me , miss whatever your name is , i am his aunt and he is like my kid , so think before you call my kid motherless or i am gonna smack your " she seethed and looked at ishaan who was still sad "pumpkin can you please cover your ears for me" she told him gently , he smiled and covered both of his ears with his palms  , she smiled at him and turned towards the b***h and glared at her "where i was yeah ,call him motherless again and i am gonna smack that b***h ass face of yours with your stupid nine inch heels, and i assure you that even the google would fail to find you,b***h " she finished and by the end that teacher was gulping .

her words made me laugh hard and on top of that when i saw that ugly ass b***h drenched in her own sweat ,my level of happiness was already erratic by then . but you know i saw one more thing ..the happiness that swirled in my ishaan's eyes , i saw how his eyes were filled with immense sparks , his smile said so many unsaid feelings of his , hope , that's what i saw in his eyes , hope that there was someone who would be by his side for ever , and only a mother is someone who never leaves her child's side . 

Fear . that's what i felt then , i was afraid that my ishaan's heart and hope will shattered as soon as the girl would leave , afterall who she was , a mere stranger , she was someone who was a traveler in our little world . i wanted to go and take my ishaan away from her but by then the competition had already started . 

it felt so pathetic that many of the so-called mothers didn't even know their child's birthday , that was literally awful , my mother knew me more than i even know myself , but the women infront of me , they were a pathetic excuse of mother , but to my surprise the girl answered almost every question correctly .  

she was childish , the way she greeted me made me laugh internally . i mean this was the first time i heard someone asking my name while greeting ...

"oh , hi Mr. fill in the blank please"    

i was a goner , i was so busy in my mental laughing session that i zoned out for god knows how long . 

 when i shook hands with her while introducing myself , i was shocked the sparks that travelled through my veins through a single touch of her , i-i felt blessed deep down my heart . 

to lighten up the situation i rambled a long thankyou speech but her words made me chuckle , she was literally one of those people who had a pure heart , her eyes said it all , she was just as adorable as a child , i couldn't help but laugh hysterically .

"umm by the way , your son is really a cute kid and he didn't bother me at all, i just love kids a lot and i don't like them crying , they are a treasure and are only meant to be cherished ,loved and cared. tears don't suit them "her words stunned me but still a smile made it's way on my face .

"masi " ish voice broke my trace , my heart swelled with happiness when she gave him a soft smile and playfully ruffled his hairs . ish giggled making me smile more . 

their talk had me smiling throughout , me and ish asked her to join us for the ice-cream but the phone call interrupted us  .

"sorry mr. khanna , sorry kindo , but i gotta rush right now " she then left in hurry , must be some emergency . 

i looked back at ish , his face had fallen , this was the only thing that was scaring me . 

"hey champ , it's ok ..it must be some emergency right" i picked him up in my arms and kissed his cheeks but he still looked sad , the trophy as if had no importance in his eyes now . 

when i was exiting the parking lot i saw the same girl , she looked panicked and worried .

"need help" i asked her . 

"can you please drop me to the lifecare hospital " she asked and i felt worried for her , hospital for me was never a good new , to be honest i kinda hate that place more than anything nevertheless i decided to drop her there . 

"hey masi are you going to join us" ish chirpy voice again hit my ears 

"sorry baby but masi needs to reach somewhere asap i promise next time hmm" she said and he then didn't speak anything . he was sad , i knew it ..i gave her an assuring smile and she smiled back sadly . she really loved kids . 

we then drove to life care hospital , and as soon as the car stopped she jumped out of the car , i just hope everything is good . for some reasons i didn't want to leave , i wanted to stay and make sure that everything was alright . so i decided to stay . 

i had called aunty martha with the driver to take ishaan back home , it's been a long day and he needed rest .

and then after 5 hours , i saw her coming out of the hospital all alone , she looked beyond exhausted , she looked ready to pass out . when our eyes met confusion swirled in her eyes .
