Two Years Later

Mytri POV:

Not one can do their job seriously.

No one!

"You mean to say, Mr. Daniel that one week of time was not enough for a petty work like revising the project document, which can be done in half a day?" I asked in a low dangerous voice while I'm trying a lot to suppress it.

Just correcting minor mistakes if any and cross checking the clauses are a burden?

One freaking week is not enough!

I tried to control my surfacing rage and gave a pointed look towards him for explanation, which, I know, would be useless reasons.

During these two years, not only my personal life but also my professional life too changed a lot.

From being an intern to being an Executive controlling head of the whole project handling department was not easy. Even though being I'm a daughter-in-law of Grace, reaching to the position I am now in was never a flower road for me. I climbed the hierarchy ladder step by step with my own capabilities. I had to sacrifice many things for this yet I'm happy.

I'm happy that my Seshi was with me all these years and helped me face the obstacles.

He was there right beside me through thick and thin.

"Ma'am, i-its not that. We were..." Mr. Daniel's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. He stuttered maybe trying to place his reason in a more believable way. But I'm not a fool

I'm Mytri Seshank Gupta and Mytri is never a fool nor will she be.

Angel Mytri: Did you forget the time of your wedding with Seshi? You thought he doesn't love you. What was that called?

Angel reasoned out to which I was about to give the retort when Devil butted in, to make this useless conversation a radio program.

Devil Mytri: It's called acting unwisely and imprudently like a silly person, Angel.

There goes devil's taunting again.

Cant she just shut up for a bit or talk something sane which is good about me?

No, how can she be my devil side if she thinks about my good deeds!

Angel Mytri: it means fool, you devil fool.

Devil Mytri: I know. I just put forth the lesson I took from crazy Ashiqa. It's so fun talking in definitions.

Excuse me you both! You both are still inside me and don't you forget I can hear your discussion.

Angel please stop butting in suddenly when I'm trying to show people who's the boss.

And you devil, stop learning useless things from crazy. It's no good for my awesome brain. Anyways, you both know I'm better than her in everything.

If you both please close your cerebrum to medulla oblongata gossip commentary, I have a person before me to scare.

Saying that I shut them and concentrated on the person who's trying to escape from my clutches.

No way in hell will I let the work thief type people to survive a happy life.

"Please do tell me what reasons you have for not working on a little document for one week. I'm free for half an hour to hear to your so called reasons." I mocked and poured myself a cup of hot tea from the pot. I poured a cup for Mr. Daniel too and offered him modestly like we are having a tea party.

I looked at him gazing at the floor while taking the tea cup with shaking hands.

Fear! Good.

"Now, now, I'm waiting for those inevitable reasons and you are directing a show 'Tea with Mytri' with me?" I asked sipping my tea and looking at him as calm as I can. If he was a smart one then he would know that I was mocking him.

'Ma'am, actually there were few minor bugs in the computer systems and the team is trying to fix it as we are speaking right now." He tries to give his clarification but I am not taking any.

"Fixing a bug from a whole week? Funny that a small bug gave the great technicians a hard time from a week. Very Funny. But look at the irony, the so called bug is such a partial player. It affected only certain areas of the computer system. As I look into the history, the bug has despise for the social media sites and entertainment sites that it didn't affect them a lot. How very irony!" Mr. Daniel started coughing violently and tried to explain further but I'm not taking any.

Enough is enough!

People need to know their place and their work and I would be very happy to show them that.

I think Grace needs Mytri's teaching!

While I was about to tell my final word, Ashiqa entered my cabin with a wide grin like she owns it. Looking at the grim look on my face, she quietly sat on the sofa chair giving me time to continue the discussion.

God know what made her grin like a whale!

I started getting bad vibes seeing her wide smile.

But first I need to deal with the bug!

I looked at him grimly as if a lion is ready to claw its prey "Get the reports revised in two hours. One minute more than two hours and you all will be in detention."

I know two hours is not enough for this work but like a saying "Miracles happens when time appears to run out".

People tend to gather themselves and know about their capabilities when they are in dire situations.

Mr Daniel tried to contradict my statement but nodded when I gave him my most dangerous look.

That's good.

"Why are you scaring that poor man?" Ashiqa asked once Mr. Daniel left the room.

Poor man, My foot!

If I exclaim at her words 'poor man', she would open her brain's hyperlink to the dictionary and would give me different single, double and multiple meaning, so I kept my mouth shut for my own sanity.

"You are here for?" I asked brushing of her statement and looked at the while large envelope she has in her hand. "Don't me you want a leave again. This is the third leave in this week, Ashiqa." I reprimanded, shaking my head at the grinning doll.

How can she be so happy even when someone is reprimanding her?

Happy for anything and everything. 

Ashiqa joined this company after her marriage with Sujith. She works in CSR wing because she is good at spending money for good reasons and she enjoys it. By watching her for a while, I included her in special SDAS hoping this mission would be a success one day.

"No, this is not a leave letter. This is my goal, ambition and my heart. I put my heartfelt content in this small document and hope you would be golden hearted for once and accept this petition."

I looked at her with narrowed eyes trying to decipher what she's talking about. I opened the seal and took out the a paper attached with a document and few attachments.

WHAT THE HELL?

WHAT IS THE FREAKING MEANING OF THIS?

SHE IS A FOOL & A CRAZY ALIEN!

HOW CAN SHE GIVE A PETITION LIKE THIS?

"You fool! Today you crossed all the borders of craziness. How dare you to write this garbage. Get out of my sight with this bloody letter of yours." I roared with flames coming out from my ears.

This time she crossed the damn line.

Ashiqa started whining and pouted like what she asked is a very usual request.

"Ashiqa before my anger reaches its peak, can you please get out of my room?" I pleaded rubbing my head with the increasing ache while Ashiqa is still crying and slammed the precious letter in my hands hoping I would think again.

This girl is a pure headache.

I cannot stay here now or else I'll end up murdering her with my own hands.

"Guess what! You stay here! I will go myself" I walked out of my cabin not paying any heed to her loud cries.

She is crazy!

No offence I love and adore Ashiqa like a sister but sometimes Ashiqa is a real headache!!

Only Sujith is able to handle Ashiqa all times!

Or maybe we like to think that way. God knows what he is going through with her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"That stupid girl! Craziest girl in the family!" I shouted once I entered the foyer of her MIL and FIL's house where the other couples are chilling as it is weekend.

I went to the sofa and sat with a thud and closed my eyes trying to relax. But God cannot see me relaxed because Ashiqa followed me into the house and sat beside me.

There goes my relaxation in to this air!

"Hey, Mytri!" Sujith greeted me offering a cup of tea in the pleasant evening whereas his wife is still muffling her cries sitting next to him and he offered tissue to her and gave me an apology smile.

Somehow, I guess he knows what happened in office and I am glad he reacted positively and not being a crying mess like Ashiqa.

Ashiqa took the tissue and wiped her tears leaning her head on his shoulder sniffing every now and then.

I must say they book look cute together, One sane and the other insane, just like me and Seshi. One is God and another is his devil.

"Is my granddaughter still sleeping?" Arvind uncle and Sadhana aunty asked, who just came from a party and went to Nakshatra's crib.

That was the same crib I bought for MIL and FIL. But who knows god has something else planned for us and now Nakshatra is using that one.

My daughter, My Nakshatra.

"Oh my baby, Please don't cry" Arvind Uncle said worriedly when he tried to pick my daughter from her crib. He loves her so much as she's a daughter and I know he sees his daughter in her. He kissed her forehead and handed her to me.

TO HER MOTHER!

Yippee, I won!

At least now I won. If 'my god' is present here now, she wouldn't have looked at me.

Or she would've looked at me but with a victorious smile as if telling me that she won again grabbing her father's attention from me.

Such a love rival to me. She is daddy's girl.

Of course she would be. She may look exactly like Seshi but her attitude and personality is just like me.

So she loves to challenge me.

From the time of her birth, time and again she challenged me and won.

She is a little one-year-old spitfire.

Though My god wasn't yet ready for baby, I totally convinced him and now he says it's the best decision ever to follow his heart, which is me.

My daughter, Nakshatra came into my arms and she stopped crying. She just wants her mother's touch to sooth her when she wakes up and goes to sleep. Other than that, I am just a competitor for her for Seshi's love.

Obviously my daughter, My genes.

Once she stopped crying, she opened her eyes widely as if she is searching for someone, My heart, My god.

Hope he reach soon. Though Seshi didn't want to stay at his parent's house, he somehow agreed we stay at his parents every weekend to have family time for our Nakshatra. And my baby knows her three Grandpa's and Grandma's for better.

I kissed my baby girl's forehead and sat her down. she crawled to my FIL who picked up my one year old beauty in his arms and put her on his lap.

"Hi crazy! Why are you crying today?" Pam aunty asked.

Now this question is directed to Ashiqa because from past two years the title of crazy honorably taken away from me and was given to Ashiqa by my family who actually deserves it!

And she doesn't mind too.

"M-Mytri..." Ashiqa continued crying and pointed me between her cries.

The whole family looked at me with a raised eyebrow as if silently asking what Ashiqa did now.

Time changed so quickly that there was a time when they narrowed their eyes at me asking what the hell I did but now time came when they narrowed their eyes towards me silently pitying for what she did.

"What did she do again, Mytri?" Sadhana aunty asked me lovingly.

Lovingly?

Yes!

With the entrance of Ashiqa and Nakshatra into my life, I've become an emblem of pity to everyone.

"Oh please ask her what she did. If it is anyone else who did that, they would have killed her. Just because she is the specimen of our family, I left her alive!" I shouted and took the precious letter which now she is using as a tissue and showed it to everyone.

MIL gave me a questing gaze and started reading it!

Dear Seshi and Mytri,

I and my precious niece Nakshatra are very thankful to have you both in our lives. But god knows what will happen tomorrow so leave the future to god and talk about present now.

Can you please....Please...please.... let me and Sujith adopt our only niece from next Monday?

Don't worry she is in good hands. You can come and visit her whenever you want. I wouldn't restrict my then daughter Nakshatra to meet you. You can still be her loving aunt.

Yours lovingly,

Ashiqa Sujith Singh Rana.

Attachments:

Painting made by me as Nakshatra being engineer, doctor, pilot, cab driver, plumber and a rock star. You never know what her heart wishes and me and Sujith will support it as her new cool parents!

Once Mil completed reading the famous letter she turned towards Ashiqa glaring at her and sighed,

"Ashiqa, you can't ask them to give her their baby" Sadhana aunt made her point.

Exactly!

I tried so so so many seduction theories to get this daughter into my womb and I'm not sparing her for anyone that easily!

If anyone wants a beautiful daughter like mine and Seshi's they should work for it! 

"But please...please, I will take care of her like my own. she's mine!" Ashiqa replied taking my daughter into her arms and soothing her head.

Since my daughter is a person who loves to tease me, she giggled and smiled at Ashiqa while giving me a challenging smile.

Such a little devil!

"Baby, I thought it was joke when you said it last night" Sujith stated placing his arm around her shoulder.

They discussed about this?

Seriously?

Have I attempted a huge sin to go through this?

I'm the most soft hearted, soft spoken, innocently cotton like person on this earth!

"NO sujith! I am serious! I really...really wanted to adopt her and then we three will be a happy little family in this big loving family. You can even teach her kick boxing as you teach me!" she whined to her husband all the while Arvind Uncle was glaring at Sujith for not planning their own kid as his wife wants others kid!

What can Sujith do?

Ashiqa is a blank book in the case of marriage and romance.

I think it's high time I should involve myself and transform innocent Ashiqa to a seductress for Sujith.

I'll start my lesson right from tomorrow.

"Why are you not giving me your baby, Wait...don't you trust me?! You even saw how much I take care of my elderly Little Grandpa then why can't you let me adopt my Nakshatra baby! WAIT...Are you getting jealous of me and Nakshatra becoming famous?" She blabbered with wide eyes as if trying to understand why I'm rejecting her offer.

Famous?? Wait...did she really think winning a cutey auntie-niece contest in near by mall last week will make both of them world famous and Me Jealous?!

Oh God! What am I gonna do with her?

Everyone started talking one thing or the other making a chaos

"Ashiqa, I or Mytri loves you as a family but we don't want to give you our kid" Seshi arrived and said in his end of discussion tone and Ashiqa started crying again.

Thank God he came!

"But..." Seshi said giving her hope

And I continued "If and only If something happen to me and Seshi, we in our  death will agreement, will mention that Nakshatra will be under your care okay?" I said and gave her a tight smile.

Seshi came towards me and pecked my forehead and took Nakshatra from Ashiqa's hands.

My lovely daughter squealed happily once she saw her father and hugged him like he's her lifeline.

Hug me too baby. I'm your mother. Why don't you hug me like that? 

  You only hug me in sleep.  

Hmph!

"Wow! Amazing!! Awesome! Thank you Seshi and Mytri. I will take good care of her. I will even pester her to put fresh roses on your and Mytri's grave every Sunday." She said shocking me and Seshi and took our daughter chanting "You are mine! You are mine!" while giving her kisses.

"Oh god, I thought she would be better than Mytri!" I heard one of the aunts mutter after Ashiqa left the room.

No doubt one day Ashiqa herself will kill us for our daughter.!

Before that day comes, I need to bring Sujith and Ashiqa close and make them have their own kid.

It is literally essential for my and Seshi's peaceful life.

Seshi POV:

Silly girl

Crazy girl

If I would've not thought of her as a sister, I would've strangled her.

That Crazy Ashiqa!

Who keeps an application for adoption when the child's parents are well alive having a good life?

God! What's wrong with this family's luck with their wives?

First, devil Mytri and then this Wikipedia!

I was brought out of thoughts when my little angel squealed when she fell on her butt while trying to take her first steps which made laugh.

I immediately yelled out for Mytri who is washing up in washroom when my little angel slowly stood up again with the support of her big stuffed bear.

"Mytri! Come here quickly, Nakshatra is about to take her first steps" I called out again and heard her 'coming' followed by her approaching footsteps.

In the meanwhile, I took out my mobile from my pocket and is ready to capture the most amazing moment of my life.

My little angel's first steps!

My little angel squealed and giggled when she successfully stood up and took two steps towards me without any support while I opened my arms for her calling out to come to me.

She quickly took another unstable step towards me and right when Mytri ran towards us; my baby sat down with a thud and clapped her hands looking at Mytri.

Oh No!

"She really took her first steps, Mytri. I swear. Believe me." I said kissing my little angel's forehead and stood up to face my big angel.

"Oh, you don't have to swear, My god. I know she really did as I was not here." She gritted out while glaring at Nakshatra; who in turn grinned and clapped her hands.

Ah! There goes her insecurity nagging again.

"Your little angel always does this. She loves you. She doesn't love me." Mytri cried out and threw a pointed look towards our daughter; who latter gave a cheeky victorious smile.

This little girl!

She does know how to push her mother's buttons. I don't believe that our daughter doesn't love Mytri but I do agree that she's more of a papa
