Aunt Aadhya, Siddharth's mother was arriving today. Siddharth has gone to the airport to pick her up. For the last 2 weeks or so I have distanced myself from Siddharth. He is being a nice and caring husband, but in fear that he will hurt me again I have kept my distance. Plus, I can't trust him after what has happened. Noticing my behaviour, Siddharth even is talking to me less. Now that Aunt Aadhya is coming, I know we will have to change our ways, or else she'll definitely know something is up. 

Just then Siddharths lamborghini rears up our driveway. I watch as Siddharth unloads Aunt Aadhyas bags. Quickly adjusting my hair, I race towards the door to greet Aunt Aadhya. 

"Nisha! My dear!" She says giving me a tight hug 

"Aunty! I am so happy to see you" I cheer

Siddharth, who is standing behind Aunt Aadhya, looks somewhat pleased at me

"Mum, I'll put your stuff upstairs" he says grabbing her bags off the floor

"Thanks dear" She smiles as Siddharth walks upstairs with her bags

"So...How's my boy treating you" She asks with a cheerful grin sitting on the couch

She might've believed my lies on the phone, however, I have to keep my act up. 

"Um...Siddharth's taking good care of me" I lie painting a smile on my face 

"That's my boy. Seeing you and Siddarth happy honestly makes my day" She cheers

I give her a small smile. If only she knew what Siddharth has been up to.

She hands me a large bag, saying that it will help me on my 'journey to motherhood'.

I open the green bag, which is filled with books, toys, clothes and more. 

"I didn't know what gender your baby is, so I got clothes in yellow and white" She smiles

Looking at the bag filled with gifts for my baby, I felt more ready to be a mother. Aunt Aadhya is staying till the birth of my baby, which means she'll be here for me during the most crucial months of my pregnancy. That means I won't have to depend on Siddharth much.

"These are cute!" Siddharth says rudely snatching the outfits from my hand

"Make sure you dress your baby in the clothes its grandma gave" She instucts gleefully

"Of course we will" Siddharth smiles sitting next to her

"My baby is going to be a father" She kisses Siddharth on his head

I leave those two in the pretext of making tea. I loved Aunt Aadhya and all , but I couldn't help feel that she was responsible for Siddharth turning out like this. Being an only child, they had spolit him, giving him everything he asked for. 

I guess that made him into the spolit brat he is today. 

I serve the tea I made to Aunt Aadhya, who gleefully praises my cooking as always.

"Thanks Nisha" Siddharth smiles grabbing his cup of tea

"Nisha you look dull. Are you and Siddharth on good terms?" Aunt Aadhya asks looking at me

"Ugh..yeah. I woke up late that's why I'm tired" I stammer 

"Ahhh okay okay. Now sit back down dear. I have a lot to tell you both " She hurries like a teenager calling her friends to spill the beans 


I make a spot beside Aunt Aadhya, away from Siddharth

She talks to us about all sorts of things, mainly about becoming parents and all. Listening to her did make me feel better about my pregancy. Atleast I have someone who knows what they are doing.
