Morning coated with brilliant spring rays , new day , new experience awaits .

Baby blue and white sky , the blooming flowers and carpet of green grass shimmers with drew .

Filled with chaos , blended with speed , Mrinal got ready for work , with a toddler its always have been difficult . And today she woke up late , as there was no need of preparing lunch , as Aaryansh was taking both of them out for lunch . Yeah she got a little lazy today.

Today was another Board meeting discussing about the same project . She wore a black jumpsuit which fits perfectly as business wear , tied hairs in a high ponytail with natural makeup , she have already dressed up Amruta who was busy playing with toys .


" Let's go my little angel , are you excited to meet Ansh today ? "

Mrinal asked tapping Amruta's nose with her fore finger , Mrinal knew her daughter was excited . Aaryansh have nothing but kind and caring since they have met , Amruta never had any man to pamper her ever .

" Ansh " " Ansh "

Amruta chanted his name clapping her hands and giggled . She couldn't pronounce his whole name but Aaryansh was fine with the nickname given to him .

" Yes baby , but lets go to office first . I know you are happy about meeting Ansh . "

_____________________________

The board meeting went well , they were still looking for few investors , the material was ready , the design group were already coming up with ideas and management for great marketing ideas , Mrinal was in the marketing and branding group , she was learning so much ever day , she felt blessed and free , away from toxicity .

She was still in contact with her sister Paridhi and Kunal , she got to know that Purab and Kavita were married now.

Good , they deserved each other .
She thought , does she have anything against Kavita , she doesn't know , after all she wasn't the one married and had  wife and a child , loyalty was Purab's responsibility which he definitely failed keep .

She remembered the first time , she met Kavita when Purab introduced her as a mere colleague.

FLASHBACK

" Mrinal are you ready . "

Purab said frustrated , now a days he is always frustrated and grumpy. Today there was a party in the office Purab worked in , it was for employees and their families .

" Just few minutes ."

She was 7 pregnant and getting ready was difficult for her , specially wearing a saree and she wasn't allowed to wear anything other than saree .

" Get ready fast , we are going to be late just because of you . "

" Now walk fast . "

Purab said as soon a Mrinal was ready . No compliments ,
They went downwards , where Purab's mother Sharda was present.

" How is my grandson doing today , Bahu ( daughter-in-law) take care of the baby properly ."

What if the baby is a girl , Mrinal thought , since she is pregnant the whole family is bragging about its a boy , calling the baby him .

" Ok , Maa ji. "

Mrinal said timidly , going out of the house sitting in the car. The car her parents have gifted to their beloved son - in - law . As wedding gift. 

The party was the most lavish one Mrinal had witnessed till date . Purab introduced her to some of his colleague.

Mrinal noticed a beautiful girl , Kavita wearing a gown with her hair and makeup styled to perfection , she looked beautiful . Mrinal wasn't jealous type , she was the one who complimented others  , being a women she have never wanted to be enemy of  another women.

Kavita was friendly with her the entire evening , Mrinal felt happy to find someone in strangers , Purab was with other men , while she was with Kavita.

But it have been more than half an hour , she couldn't find her husband or Kavita. She noticed both of them coming from same way , Kavita's perfectly styled hair were displaced , and there was no trace of her lipstick .

May be it got removed when she ate something. Mrinal thought .

" Mrinal , actually Kavita want a lift , I will go and drop her real quick . I know you will understand. "

Purab and Kavita didn't wait for her answer as they made their way towards the exit , leaving Mrinal all alone in a room full of strangers , her feets were hurting and swollen due to pregnancy , her back was aching . Tears built in her eyes , but she waited for husband who came back after 2 hours , saying the car was punctured , saying sorrys . She was hurting physically , mentally and emotionally .

When she told her own mother about this incident , her mother only told her one thing she have always said.

" You are a girl Mrinal , learn to adjust . "

______________________________

PRESENT


ADJUST .  ADJUST  .  ADJUST .

That's the only thing she tried to do in her whole marriage . But what did it brought in return , lies , betrayals , depression .

Mother and Husband , the most confidential people for a married women have always let her down , truth to be told she don't have any expectations from anyone , her expectations have always disappointed her .

The ringing of her phone brought her out of her thoughts .

" Hello Mrinal , I am outside come out with Amruta . "

" Okk , give me few minutes . "

Mrinal went to pick Amruta from nursery area , she told her friends Kriti and Neha , who had teasing looks on their faces , Mrinal rolled her eyes and ignored them .

On reaching the main entrance , she spotted Aaryansh standing outside of his Black Lamborghini Urus , damn that car must cost a fortune.


Dressed in a black shirt with upper 2 buttons open and beige dress pants with black loafers , no doubt he looked perfect .


Upon seeing Aaryansh , Amruta started to kick her legs and arms wanting to free from mothers arms , Mrinal put Amruta down who ran to him with her baby legs .

" How are you my little Princess ? did you missed me because I surely missed you . "

He said in baby voice and then tickled her making her giggle .

He side hugged Mrinal and asked her to get in the car , he opened the front door for her , waiting for her to settle down comfortably .

" I have a car seat at back do you think Amruta will comfortable . "

" I don't know she have never sat on a car seat , we can try . "

" Princesses do you want to sit in your special seat today . "

Aaryansh asked Amruta to which she nooded excitedly , He settled her in the car seat buckling her up and turned on the mini tv which was on back of passengers seat . He wanted to bring Saransh too , but today he had to attend school .

They started the journey .

Mrinal and Aaryansh were talking about his experience in America and studying from one of the prestigious institution .

" Did you ever thought of settling in America . "

" Never ever , I had always planned I will be back to India and contribute as much as I can to the health sector , even the hospital I own , we treat people at very reasonable prices giving best we can , and treatment is free for families who can not afford . And research have always fascinated me . "

Aaryansh replied , he was so passionate about his work , the respect for the profession and people . Mrinal admired him , to many he must have been a Massiah , a God sent angel .

" Its my convocation next week , I am finally getting my degree of super speciality in Oncology . Mom have kept a lunch
get together , my family and I will be very happy if you and Amruta could join us. "

" We both will attend Aaryansh , I am very happy and proud of you , Congratulations in advance. "

He thanked her and they reached the restaurant.


" Hey Princess are you hungry , what do you want to eat . "

Aaryansh unbuckled Amruta , and sat her on the seat , Mrinal took out her water bottle and Aaryansh made her drink some water before they went inside.

The resterunt looked pretty crowded , it was opening ceremony and there were many cars parked .

" Come on angel let's go inside , Ok .

Aaryansh had Amruta in his arms , and Mrinal was walking by his side ,  any other person would say they are one happy family .

He gave the passes and the staff escort them to their table , the sofas were comfortable and they had seat by the large glass window , they can see the distinct traffic and crowd.

The waiter brought a high chair for Amruta and serve welcome drinks , and orange juice for Amruta . Giving them the menu of cuisines they have in the buffet.

" I am loving the interiors . "
Mrinal said admiring siping on her drink .

Amruta was siting on Aaryansh's lap drinking her juice with straw . Mrinal and Aaryansh were siting on different sides of table .

" Yeah its beautiful , it feels like we are close to nature , like a picnic . "

Mrinal opened the menu ,
there was only name of delicacies and cuisine with no price rate . And Aaryansh wouldn't tell her the cost of passes even after insisting to divide the amount , but she could tell its an expensive restaurant.

" I am taking you both out so its on me . "

That's what he said .

" What do you want to eat . "
Aaryansh asked after they finished their drink .

" Honestly I don't know , I have never ever herd names of more than 70 % of dishes. "

Mrinal said , embarrassed , would he laugh at her now .

" That's okay let's take a round around the buffets , and you can just pick the dishes you find inviting . "

Aaryansh said , Mrinal nodded her head .

They picked crispy tacos , Hawaiian chicken kebab , and nachos with cheese dip .

They sat Amruta on the high chair as it would be easy to feed her .


It was Mrinal and Amruta's first time trying Mexican and Hawaiian cuisine .

They loved it , Mrinal was about to feed Amruta when Aaryansh offered to feed her and asked Mrinal to eat comfortably .

Amruta was only having nachos with cheese dip , and one bite of taco but she didn't like it much made faces making Aaryansh and Mrinal laugh .

For main course Mrinal had Naan with butter chicken , while Aaryansh had Dal Makhani with tandoori roti Anruta had few bites of both but the chicken was a little spicy for her .

The desserts were too good be true , Mrinal thought , she had ice cream sundae and Aaryansh and Amruta had choco lava cake with vanilla ice cream .

They enjoyed a wholesome meal , Mrinal's heart would swell up ever time Aaryansh would give his all attention to Amruta and Mrinal , asking them if they were comfortable and needed anything , he brought Desserts for both of them first and then for himself .

They spent beautiful time together.
