Thankyou everyone for your reviews, and sorry I couldn't update anything on the new year but today I have updated two stories together, this and London Return, do read and review both

Chapter 10

The car stopped in front of a big and beautiful home. There was a spark of prestige from its mere glimpse and why wouldn't, as the bungalow belonged to the ACP of CID Mumbai. Its huge main gate, guarded by the watchmen allowed the car inside into the driveway giving glances at the beautiful garden surrounding the bungalow from all sides.

ACP, Shweta, and Abhijeet got down from the car. Shweta's eyes got filled with tears but she smiled sweetly seeing the home which they together bought for their child. While Abhijeet was surprised looking at it…

ACP in a smile: Kaisa laga apna ghar beta?

Abhijeet in a surprised smile: Yeh ghar vohi hai jiske saamne maa kayi baar aake ruk jaati thi…

ACP surprised and both turned to her who was standing at the back but got tense seeing her tears…

Abhijeet hurriedly wiped her tears and asked: Kya hua mumma aap ro kyu rahi hai…

Shweta smiled and cupped his face: Khushi ke aasu hai beta ( placed a soft kiss on his forehead ) humne yeh ghar tumhare liye liya tha lekin dekho tum kabhi reh hi nahi paaye yaha pe…

ACP too got tears in his eyes while Abhijeet with a sweet smile hugged his mother…

Abhijeet sweetly: Ab hum milkar rahenge na mumma isliye aap roiye matt…

Shweta kissed his head lovingly: Mere baby ke hote hue mein ro sakti hu kya hmm…

Abhijeet smiled and separated from the hug…

ACP refreshingly: Bhai maa-bete ka pyar jatana ho gaya toh chale ander ghar besabri se intezar kar raha hai…

Both smiled at him and nodded…

ACP in a sweet smile took them both into a side hug with each arm and they made their way into the home smilingly…

The trio entered the home and viewed the elegant interior…

Shweta surprisingly: Yeh abhi bhi bilkul vaisa hai jaisa humne decorate kiya tha…

ACP nodded in a smile: Meine kaha tha na Shweta ki ghar kaisa hoga voh tumhi decide karogi… to bass vaisa hi rakha hai…

Shweta smiled sweetly…

ACP in excitement: Chalo Abhi tumhe room dikhata hu tumhara…

Abhijeet smiled while ACP held his hand and took him upstairs by nearly running. Shweta laughed at his excitement and followed them…

They came into a room and Abhijeet got really surprised seeing it as he at once was able to connect it with himself. He felt that he has himself personalized everything ranging from the novels on the bookshelf to the position of his study table.

Abhijeet surprisingly: Yeh room toh bilkul vaisa hi hai jaisa mujhe achcha lagta hai…

ACP happily: Achcha laga tumhe ( excitedly ) pata hai mein na kaafi andaze lagata tha ki mera Abhi kaisa hoga ( dreamily ) aur dil se hamesha jo jawab milta tha meine vaisa hi tumhara room decorate kiya ( indicating in a smile ) jaise yeh mystery novels, bean bag, sports theme me yeh basketball basket vagera ( striking something said ) lekin mera beta toh football khelta hai…( in a smile ) koi baat nahi toh hum garden me

Abhijeet interrupted with a smile: Basketball hi khelta hu mein Dad…football toh abhi shuru ki thi

ACP surprised: Kya sachme

Abhijeet nodded while Shweta with a smile said: Football ka shauk toh isko abhi chadha hai isse pehele toh Basketball captain reh chuka hai…

ACP smiled and looked at his son lovingly and coming near cupped his face in a moist smile: Dekho firr meine mere bete ke baare me jo socha sab sahi nikla ( in a teary smile ) mera Abhi mystery novels bhi padta hai aur sports me bhi champion hai ( Abhijeet smiled shyly while he kissed his forehead in tears )

Shweta seeing the pictures said in a moist tone: Aur yeh pictures Abhi ki first birthday ki haina jo humne iss ghar me celebrate kiya tha…

ACP nodded in a smile while Abhijeet also started looking at the pictures…

ACP after some moments said excitedly: Abhi apne gifts toh dekho beta ( Both gave him a confused look while he forwarded a bag to him ) yeh kholke dekho

Abhijeet with a confused smile started opening the bag while Shweta asked: Tumne yeh gifts kab liye abhi to humare saath aaye ho

ACP smiled: Dekhna abhi khud hi…

Inside the bag was some gift boxes each marked with a number

Abhijeet opened a gift with the number 4 and got surprised: Yeh…

ACP smiled sweetly while Shweta asked in a smile: Kya gift diya hai Dad ne Abhi ko…

Abhijeet in a confused smile: Hot wheels monster loop

Shweta surprised: Kya

Abhijeet nodded confusingly and both looked at ACP…

ACP seeing their confused looks answered in a sweet smile: Aise kya dekh rahe ho bhai dono ( placed a hand on Abhijeet's cheeks ) Tumhara fourth birthday gift hai yeh

Abhijeet surprised while tears came into Shweta's eyes…

ACP in a moist smile: Mein tumhara har birthday manata hu beta ( indicated the bag ) aur isme saare gifts hai har birthday ke liye ( teary smile ) socha tha meine jab bhi tum miloge saari cheeze dikhaunga tumhe…fourth birthday se leke fifteenth birthday tak tumhare gifts hai isme ( cupped his face in a loving smile ) aur sixteenth toh hum saath manaenge

Abhijeet nodded smilingly and ACP hugged him in a moist smile while Shweta was smiling in happy tears…

ACP noticed tears in her eyes and asked by eyes but she just shook her head and looked away wiping her tears…

ACP kissed Abhi's head: Beta aapne aur cheeze to dekhi hi nahi ( moved hand in his hairs ) aapko plants pasand haina toh chalo garden dekhke aao firr mein aur mumma aate hai

Abhijeet nodded while separating from the hug and went out towards the garden while ACP came towards Shweta with a moist smile…

ACP held her by shoulders and asked softly: Kya hua Shweta hmm ( wiped her tears ) ab yeh aasu kyu hai

Shweta turning her face away as tears were filling in her eyes again and again said tearily: Pradyuman tumne kaise saha hoga ( looked at the gifts saying in choking due to tears ) itna.. Dukh.. Sirf.. Meri..

And she just burst out in tears while ACP in a sad smile just wrapped her tightly in a soothing hug and kept rubbing her back to calm her,

After some moments of feeling her a little calm,

ACP caressing her hair said consolingly: Shweta humne decide kiya tha na ki hum ab koi purani baat nahi laenge beech me firr… tum please yeh sab apne mann se nikal do na…tumhare vajah se kuch nahi hua hai hmm…

He softly separated her and kissed her forehead while she just gave him a soft-sweet smile…

ACP in fake annoyed tone while clearing her tears: Aur tumhe mere bete se jealous hone ki zaroorat nahi hai ki uske liye itne gifts hai ( in a sweet smile ) tumhare birthday aur humari anniversary ke liye bhi hai…

Shweta laughed lightly: Tum bhi khush ho jaao firr toh tumhare birthday aur anniversari gifts meine bhi liye hue hai…

ACP smiled but said mischievously: Aree wah mujhe to firr itne saalo me double gifts mil gaye…

Shweta confused: Double gifts kaise?

ACP naughtily: Abhi itne saalo ke tum dogi haina ( Shweta nodded while he said further hiding his smile ) aur tumhare peeche se Jyoti bhi deti thi…

Shweta's eyes widen in shock while ACP burst out in laughter seeing her red face…

Shweta in fake anger: Tum toh uska naam bhi matt lena mere saamne samjhe ( suspiciously ) sach sach batao voh disguise hi tha na kahi

ACP cut her in extreme shock: Aree hadd hai ab insaan mazak bhi na kare ( Shweta made an annoyed face ) ha agar tum ek do aur saal nahi milti toh…

He stops in mid getting her stern glare and tried hard not to burst out in laugh…

Shweta disappointed: Tumse baat karna hi bekar hai ( pushing him aside ) hato saamne se mujhe mera ghar dekhna hai…

She went out of the room while ACP laughed and followed her feeling good that his wife is finally coming back to her form…

They went out in the garden and an aww-loving smile came to their lips seeing their child happily playing with the bunnies and looking so cute…

Abhijeet looked at them while playing and said excitedly: Mumma dekho yeh bunny kitna cute hai ( the rabbit jumped on his hand and started eating the carrot while he started laughing feeling tickled )

ACP and Shweta smiled in aww over both the bunnies and went near to them…

ACP smilingly: Yeh bachpan me bhi aise hi khelta tha rabbits ke saath aur ab bhi…

Shweta smiled lovingly while Abhijeet was still laughing sweetly while playing and both just looking at him with a contended beautiful smile

Shweta sweetly: Abhi ko apna ghar achcha laga na…

Abhijeet stood up from the ground with the rabbit in his lap and nodded with a cute smile: Yes mom yaha pe rabbits hai kyuki aur itne saare plants and flowers bhi…

ACP ruffled his hair in a loving smile: Mujhe maloom tha mere bete ko bahot pasand aayega yeh sab…

Abhijeet smiled and he showed the rabbit to Shweta: Mumma dekho yeh rabbit kitna cute haina sweet sa…

Shweta pulled his cheeks in a smile: Lekin mere bunny se zyada cute nahi hai

ACP laughed lightly while Abhijeet smiled shyly: Kya mumma aap bhi…

Shweta looked at him lovingly and just grabbing his face placed a hard kiss on his cheek despite his protest while ACP sir started laughing seeing Abhijeet's annoyed face and a lipstick mark on his cheek…

Abhijeet annoyed-embarrassed while rubbing his cheek to vanish the mark: Kya hai mumma aap hamesha aisa karti ho ( Shweta was smiling cutely while he added in a flow ) Dad ke saamne to matt karo mein bada hogaya hu ab kya sochenge voh…

Suddenly the rabbit jumped from his hands and ran away. Abhijeet in a smile went after it left the matter there…

ACP was hurt by his words and looked away, Shweta understood this and sadly kept a hand on his shoulder…

ACP sadly: Abhi mere saath comfortable nahi hai Shweta usne hum logo ki wajah se hi adjust kara hai ( Shweta looked down ) dekha itna conscious toh voh sirf anjaan logo ke saath hota hai jitna mere saath ho raha hai…

Shweta sighed sadly: Pradyuman voh thode time me ho jayega normal ghar me jab ek saath rahenge hum toh voh comfortable ho jayega…

ACP nodded in no: Nahi Shweta voh sirf adjust karega…aur mein nahi chahta mera beta adjustment me jiye isliye ( in determination ) mein khud uske kareeb jaunga aur uski life me apni jagah banaunga…( Shweta smiled while he added excitedly ) dekhna tum tumhare se zyada mein uske close hunga ( excitedly in a flow clapped his hands together ) aur firr tum jalti rahogi beithi hui…

He bites his tongue seeing her stern gaze and realized what he said so smiled sheepishly and instantly started moving towards Abhijeet to avoid…

Shweta smiled disappointedly at his childish acts and prayed ( pov ): Bhagwan yeh baat sach hojaaye toh mujhse zyada khush koi nahi hoga…

END of the Chapter

Do tell me if this chapter was good or not?

Would a father be able to come close to his teenager son? Will his son accept him? What would be a father's way to bring his son closer to him? Would a child who has always been so close to his mother, accept a third person in their life holding extreme importance? Will because of this he'll get away from his mother also?

Stay tuned guys, bye and tc

Please leave a feedback at the end, it means a lot.
