Chapter 21 - Ch –21–I might have a family too....

Hello, my dear friends, how are you all doing? 

Now, let's know more about the story..!

After hearing her, Christina smiles and says, "Sure, Madam, I will go and prepare a tasty meal for you right away. Until then, freshen up." She responds with a smile and heads towards her bedroom.

After a while, Shailvi comes downstairs after freshening up, and by that time, Christina had already prepared the meal. As soon as Shailvi sees the delicious food in front of her, she starts eating eagerly and enjoys the meal wholeheartedly.

Christina observes Shailvi eating so enthusiastically and becomes happy. She cheerfully says, "No, no, if I eat more than this, my stomach will burst." In response, Christina reassures her, "No, Madam, nothing will happen. You need to eat a little more; it will be good for you and your baby."

Meanwhile, Christopher arrives at his football club "Real Madrid" and immediately changes into his sports attire to start practicing. Not far away, Justin watches him during his practice sessions and notices something different about Christopher's behavior today. He wonders why Christopher appears distracted and not displaying his usual dedication.

Curious, Justin approaches Christopher and asks, "What happened? Why are you so angry at this poor football today? You're treating it as if it's a stranger." Christopher glances at Justin, completely ignoring him, and focuses on his practice.

Annoyed, Justin taunts, "We're friends, but you treat me and your football the same way, like we're complete strangers."

However, Christopher continues to ignore him completely, acting as if he's not even there.

Feeling tired and defeated, Justin sits on the playground, watching Christopher practice. After some time, when Christopher finishes his practice and comes to sit beside him on the ground, he looks up at the sky, lost in thoughts, and then says something to Justin.

Looking towards the sky, he says, "Today, I took her to the hospital."

Justin, with a confused expression, asks, "Her... whom did you take to the hospital?"

Christopher gazes back at Justin and answers with a single word, "Shailavi."

In response, Justin smiles and looks at him, saying, "I knew it because no one else has the courage to take the Great Christopher to the hospital."

"Only two people can do that," he continues, "The first one is Austin, whom I just met, and the other one is our... well, let's just say someone else. While saying this, he stops and looks at Christopher with a teasing smile."

Christopher's soft expression turns to anger, and he scowls at Justin while saying, "I didn't like your cheap joke at all."

To which Justin responds, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. It seems like you got angry now."

Christopher glares at him with his cold eyes and says, "I didn't say anything, and he starts walking away from there."

Then Justin grabs his hand, making him sit again, and says, "Sorry, man. Why are you getting upset? Please tell me what happened in the hospital; I want to know. After all, I have the right to know as your friend."

Christopher stares at him deeply with his blue eyes, takes a deep breath, poses a bit, and begins to explain, "Today, there was an ultrasound in the hospital, and for the first time, I saw my child, felt it... At that moment, I couldn't understand how to react... Today, for the first time, I felt something different when I saw that child... I had never felt anything like this before."

"After Austin, today, I felt a protective feeling for someone else... a sense of responsibility," he continues, "It felt like now, I won't be alone in the future."

"Until now, I was alone, with only Austin by my side, but seeing that child made me feel like I might have a family too."

"Back to the story...!"

Christopher, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, says, "Today, there was an ultrasound of Shailavi's salary, and for the first time, I saw my child and felt it... At that moment, I couldn't understand how to react... Today, for the first time, I felt something different when I saw that child... I had never felt anything like this before."

"After Austin, today, I felt a protective feeling for someone else... a sense of responsibility," he continues, "It felt like now, I won't be alone in the future."

"Until now, I was alone, with only Austin by my side, but seeing that child made me feel like I might have a family too."

Now, the three of us will become a family! "Where I, Austin, and my child will be," determination was evident on Christopher's face while saying this.

Listening to him, Justin responds, "Three people? You seem to be forgetting... not three, but four people, including yourself, how can you forget about your self? After all, she is the mother of that child, and you can't separate a mother from her child. She is also a part of your family as the mother of your child."

Christopher looks at Justin with cold eyes and says sarcastically, "You're right. She was also a mother who left me and my brother for a few bucks. I was just ten years old at that time. She didn't even think about what would happen to me and my brother after our father's death. When I needed her motherly love the most, she left me for money and started living her life on her terms with her boyfriend."

"And you tell me that a mother can't leave her child for money. Everyone can, not just a mother, a wife, or anyone else, everyone can leave someone for money. In this world, there's no greater power than money. If you have money, everyone will bow down to you, and money will give you limitless power that will make everyone fear you."

Justin responds to him, saying, "Yes, I agree that you had a wrong experience with her, but not every mother can be like your mother. I have observed Shailavi closely, and she is not like that. She is fighting for her child with you; she is standing strong in front of you. Trust me; she won't give up, and she will never hand over her child to you."

Christopher looks at Justin and says, "I admit you had a point, but she is not like your mother. She is still standing strong for her child in front of you. Don't underestimate her; she won't give up, and she will never hand her child over to you."
