His Wife

Bonus

"Arjun! What the hell? Why weren't you picking up my calls?" I yelled through the phone as soon as he received it.

"Calm down! We were trying to calm down your son who just keeps calling out to you." I close my eyes hearing it. Why am I not there for my cupcake? It's such a helpless situation.

"I am sorry for yelling. I was just stressed. I will reach home past midnight but till then please try to make him eat something."

"He isn't ready to eat rudra. Choti has been trying from so long. She is as helpless as you are."

"I understand that as well. Please, take care of anya too. I am sure, she must be stressed and crying too."

"I will rudra. Don't stress too much. Try to relax."

"Bhai, is it ansh?" I heard anya's yell from a distance.

"I will give the phone to your wifey." I heard some shuffling for a while, then i heard her voice.

"Shh...it's okay. I am on my way." I tried to calm her down.

"Ansh, he isn't listening to me. I am such a bad mom-"

"No sweetheart, you aren't. Put the phone on the speaker and give it to cupcake. Will you do it, hm?"

"Yes."

I waited for sometime and then I heard shiv's crying voice and felt my heart breaking. My poor baby.

"Cupcake. It's papa."

"Papa." He whispered and his cries slowed down.

"Yes, cupcake. It's your papa. Why are you troubling your maa?"

"Me no twobling, me gud." He spoke while sniffing a little. I softly chuckled at his cute voice.

"You are my baby. See your maa is so sad and she also cried."

"Maa sad?"

"Yes baby."

"Oh no! Me giving kisses to maa."

"Good baby. Also, eat your food and meds. Papa will come soon."

"No food. Only papa." He whines, his voice indicating, he is on verge of crying again.

"You need to eat sweetheart or else papa will not talk to you."

"No please. I will eat food. Me a gud baby."

"Good job. Papa will be there soon. No crying, hm? Give phone to your maa."

"Okay."

"Hello ansh."

"Try feeding him food and meds now."

"I will do it. How long will it take you ?"

"I will reach around 1 or 2 am."

"Okay. Come soon and safe." I smile.

"Yes, sweetheart. Be safe and don't cry too much, hm?"

"I will try not to, but your son made me cry so much."

"I will scold him once I am back."

"Like you will, he is burning in fever and I am sure the first thing you will do is hug him tight."

"You know me so well. I will scold him once he is fit."

"Okay my dear hubby but now I will hang up."

"Sure,bye."

"Bye." And she hung up the call.
