A week passed just like that. It's not that bad here. Morning starts with that little naughty guy Waking me up. Then I make them breakfast, and all the kids help me with my work. I clean the house, cook, feed, play with them if necessary and we sleep. There's nothing to do more than that.
Purvi made few friends in the neighborhood and I am so happy for her. I actually threw a sweet party for the neighbouring kids and when they arrived I encouraged purvi to talk with other girls of her age and it worked. Now she has friends.
I have been here for a while now but I don't go out much. I just stand in the gate watching the kids play, or walk up to the river to wash dirty clothes or pick up some vegetables for eating.
The original body didn't bother to mix with anyone but I have made a friend here. Her name is sahara. Her husband works in a city factory and she does a meat business here. I started talking with her when I became her customer and from that time we are friends.
she has three kids, one on the way...she is two months pregnant. She is head strong, has her own opinion, and knows her best interest....and that's why hated by people but not me.
While washing clothes I realised purvi doesn't have enough clothes, the boys have enough clothes but my girl doesn't have any. So I thought of buying some materials and making her a few dresses to wear. My husband has left some money for me to run the house.
So today I will buy stuff that I need for my house. But I can't just leave the kids alone at home...I especially want to buy many things and it would be hard to carry arav and things at the same time. Purvi alone cannot handle those boys.
I can call my mother -in -law and tell her to take care of my kids. she wouldn't mind taking care of her grandkids for sometimes for me while I go out shopping. she doesn't have a good relationship with the original body but her relationship is good with her grandchildren. And that way I can be relaxed.
After cooking lunch for the kids I let purvi go in my in -laws house to call my mother in law. By the time she arrived I got ready, the original body has no other dress than sari...but I am quite comfortable in it. I wore her sari and since there is no make up but snow powder...I just applied.
" Mummy are you going somewhere? " said Aakash holding the end of my dupatta. He is the naughty one in the group but also the cutest one. And I love to tease him.
" since you're so naughty and you don't listen to me...I am leaving you. " I told him and his expression changed for sometimes. " No you're not...you will not leave us. " he said proudly. " well...watch me leave. " I told him.
After that I left him there, I needed a bag for shopping and carrying my money. There is a little cloth bag that I can carry. Now as soon as my mother in law arrives I will leave. As I reached near the door two tiny hands grabbed my waist. I turned back and saw Akash holding me. His eyes are red from all that crying but why is he crying?
" Did you hurt yourself? why are you crying? show me where it hurts? " I asked him sitting on his eye level to see what is paining him that he is crying so pitifully.
" Don't leave me mummy....I will be a good boy. " he whispered in a crying tone and my heart. why did I tease him? I am both happy and sad....sad cause I made my boy cry and happy cause in just a few days he started loving me like his mother.
" Now now....I was just teasing you. Mummy will never leave you. I am just going to the market....and when I come back I will make something nice for you. " I told him to hold him close to myself. His body is shivering as he is crying.
" you promise..." he asked. " I do...now calm down. Its okay. No more crying..." I took him in my lap. He rested his tiny head on my shoulder, he would always lie in my arms whenever he was tired or sad.
" My tiny baby....my sweet baby....my cute baby..." usually whenever I call him baby or make baby noise he feels embarrassed and with a straight face tells me ' I am not a baby. ' But today he didn't say a word just kept lying where he was. I hope he calms down or I cannot go to the market today.
As I was spoiling my boy I heard someone say " You wanted to meet with me. " As I turned back I saw an elderly women standing. Her hairs are greying, has a gentle face , giving me my school principal vibes. From original owner memory I know its her mother in law.
" Yes mother....purvi fetch grandmother some water. Mother sit. " I told her showing a place to sit. I already placed a mat for her to sit. Arav was playing on it. she sat down on that mat beside Arav.
" Mother I need some stuff from the market...can you please take care of the kids for sometimes....I will be back soon. " I asked her. Her expression was cold but she said " All right....do you want me to cook lunch too? " she asked me.
" No mother I have already cooked food. I request you also too eat lunch with us. Its all in the kitchen. " I told her and she nodded. I kissed all my kids now its time to run. I took my bag and some money.....shopping time.
Arati devi ( Trishna's mother in law ) ( POV )
I went in kitchen and sure enough she did cook....rice, daal, egg curry and some potato fries. I can see the kids are well dressed and are well feed.
when I walked in I saw her pampering one of my grand child. Is she changing? It's the first time that she called me before going out. she is concerned about the kids.....good.
Is she trying to tie the family together? will my son finally have a real family? If its true then I will support my daughter -in -law every way possible.....and will treat her like my daughter. Lets hope for the best.
