Chapter 3: My drama queen
Aru woke up by 8 Am because her mobile was constantly ringing. Grunting she picked up her mobile without seeing screen for who was calling she answered the call still closing her eyes.
Beta why are you not answering your phone? Are you alright? When are you leaving from there? What is your flight number? At what time you will reach here? Should I come to pick you up at airport? Why are you answering now?
Oh God mom, How can I answer when you`re questioning me non-stop without giving a break to answer.
Sorry Aru beta I`m in so much excited I couldn't control.
Aru giggles for her mom`s excitement.
Relax mom first take a deep breath. First of all I just woke up because of your call. I`m perfectly fine. Yes we`re coming as soon as we finish the meeting. No need to come for picking us. I`ll reach maximum by tomorrow morning so don`t worry and don't get over excited it`s not good for your health.
How can I can`t get excited dear? When my kids are coming back to me finally after all these years.
Can you stop being dramatic my drama queen, we met couple months back.
You don't understand mother`s love baby. I miss you every second of my life you are only one left for me in this world after your father.
I miss you too mom. I miss dad too wish he could be with us...
Aru said with teary eyes.
Your dad is watching us baby so don't cry, he will be sad seeing your tears. I`ll be waiting for you and my son.
Yeah I know you are waiting for Sid rather than me, and he is not your son. He will be your son-in law once we get married.
Don't teach me how address my son, even if you don`t marry him he will be my son.
Grandpa was asking about you a lot. I haven't said about your engagement and arrival yet.
Hmmm, Don`t worry mom grandpa will love Sid and I want to give him surprise for his birthday tomorrow so we will be coming directly to the party.
But I still can`t understand why you didn't want to tell anyone about engagement.

I love you beta have safe journey by blessing are always with you.
Love you too mom, See you soon, bye.
Aru went to washroom after completing her morning chores. She had a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. Dressed in simple yellow summer dress with a short red blazer and red peep toe heels with minimal makeup which gives her professional look. Aru gets into her corolla and drives for her office.
As soon as she enters her office, her assistant Maria welcomes her with morning coffee, reads her schedule and gives the file required for her meeting and leaves the cabin.
After 10 minutes Sid barges into her office and shouts I`m back baby. Aru who was engrossed in the files shows her hand indicating him to shut his mouth. Sid drops his coat and bag over coffee table and sits on the couch looking at Aru. After completely studying the project file. Aru smiles a Sid.
Sid snorts with a look on his face and turn around. Aru sighs at his attics and gets up from her chair and seats next to Sid giving a side hug to him kiss on his cheek.
Welcome back my star. I missed you, sorry for ignoring you just now.
Sid gloomy look changes instantly and hugs her tightly and kisses her forehead says...
I missed you too Aru love you.
Aru hums in response buries her face in Sid`s chest.
So all Set.
Yeah everything is prepared for meeting I was rechecking it while you barged in.
Aru! You very well know I`m not talking about meeting.
I think so Sid it`s been long time being to that place but I don't have to worry about it because you`ll be with me.
True dear I`ll be there with you forever you can`t get rid of me easily. But in case if you feel uncomfortable let me know don't ever hid anything from me baby. I can`t afford to lose you.
Ok I promise.
Sid Sighs and kiss her forehead, resting his forehead to hers.
By the by mom called early morning she is super excited specially to see her son.
I know aunt loves me more than you. So are you jealous Sid says winking at Aru.
Maria knocks on the door and informs that the John knight his assistant and the lawyer has arrived for the meeting and seated in the conference room waiting for you guys.
