Krisha

It's been more than two years since my wedding and I can now say that getting married was the best decision of my life.

Arjun is definitely the best husband in the whole world and I can't thank my stars enough for it.

Yesterday was Kian's 2nd birthday.

Kian is Kriti and Aryan's son.

Yes, my Kriti is now a mother.

The fact feels weird because I've known that girl since the day she was born and now seeing her take care of child is just so wholesome.

Yesterday I also realized something. I realized that Arjun wants to feel the joy that Aryan does and even me.

I want a child.

Even though we love Kian like our own child but somewhere I have that longing for my own child.

My child.

Who would call me as Mumma and Arjun as Pappa.

So I'm going to talk about it to Arjun.

As I finished my thought, I heard the door open and Arjun entered with the usual smile on his face.

"Arjun" "Krisha" We both called out at the same time.

"You say first. " We again said at the same time which made both of us smile.

"Say Krisha, what did you wanted to say?" He asked as we both sat down on the bed.

"Arjun." I said as I took his hands in mine. "I want to be a mother. " I completed and the smile on his face was just priceless.

"You mean, we should adopt a child? " Arjun reconfirmed and I nodded my head.

"This is such a great thing. " He said as he engulfed me in a hug and pecked my forehead.

"So, shall we go to the orphanage tomorrow? " I asked.

"Obviously, why not? " He replied.

.

.

.

Two months later.

It's been nearly two months that we are wandering from orphanage to orphanage, but the people there won't just allow us to adopt.

They think that we are adopting a baby just for a hobby and we don't really want a baby.

How can we make people believe that we really want a kid.

As I was really dejected about it, Arjun took me to my favorite Roadside Dhaba to cheer me up.

"Krishu, we'll be able to adopt some day, don't be so dejected about it and come on quickly order! " He said with a jolly voice.

"But when we'll be able to do that? " I said, clearly sad about the fact.

"Soon. Now don't destroy your mood, come on let's have your favorite. " He said as he took the menu card from me.

"Chicken tikka and butter naan. " I said.

He nodded with a smile, "and jeera rice too. " He said which made me instantly happy.

"Madam, what would you like to order? " I heard a voice and looked to see a 5 year old kid.

"Dear, can you call someone to take our order? " Arjun asked him politely.

"I'm here to do that. Order? " He asked and I looked at Arjun in surprise.

"You work here? " I questioned.

"Yes madam. Please order, I need to take order from other tables too. " He said and I think he was a little frustrated by then so we quickly ordered.

After having our food, we went to the counter to pay the bill, when I asked the man there, "Is he your son? " I asked pointing at the kid.

"No madam, he just works here. " The man replied.

"But isn't it child labour? " Arjun asked him.

"Then what should I do sir? He was in rags when he one day came here begging for food, as I already had a shortage for staff I asked will he work and he said yes. Now I have enough staff, but I just don't have the mind to tell him that, since he has technically no one." The man said and I instantly felt really bad for the innocent kid.

We then paid our bill and started going towards our home.

"Arjun, are you thinking what I'm thinking? " I asked.

"That we adopt that kid? " Arjun asked and I nodded my head in yes.

"Are you sure about it? " Arjun asked me stopping the car.

"We anyway want to adopt. Plus, the kids in the orphanage at least have a shelter, why not we provide it to someone who actually needs it. " I said and Arjun gave me a proud smile before turning our car back to the Dhaba.

.

.

.

.

"So you two want to adopt me? " The kid asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"What does that mean? " He asked.

"It means that we want to make you a part of our family. We want to be your parents. " Arjun explained him and the kid looked at him with a happy face.

"I can get a family? " He asked with excitement.

"Yes." Arjun said with a smile.

"Really? " He asked and I nodded with a smile.

"Thank you so much Madam. " He said and before I could say anything Arjun said,

"She'll be your mother and I'll be your father, if you want it. " Arjun said and the kid was flabbergasted for a second.

"Really? Even I'll have a mother and father? " His eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Yes. So do you want that? " Arjun asked him and he nodded with a smile.

After few talks we went to the owner of the Dhaba and he readily agreed to it because somewhere even he felt that the kid deserved better that we can provide him.

"By the way, what is your name? " I asked him, realizing that I have been calling him kid since I met him.

"I don't know. People have called me Chotu since I can understand them. " He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Would you like if we give you a name?" I asked.

"Yeah. You are going to be my mother." He said innocently.

"Shall I call you Arshit? " I asked.

"Wow Jaan, such a nice name. " Arjun complimented but my whole attention was on the kid in front of me.

"Yes madam. It's really good. " He replied.

"You can call me Mumma. " I said and he nodded before saying, "Thank you Mumma! "

"Krisha, let's go we need to complete the formalities first." Arjun reminded.

We three then first went to police station, then to orphanage and finally we were officially his parents.

Sure it takes a long time to do so, but Mahajan and Raichand surname holds some power.

It was almost evening till the time we completed everything, we then went to shopping mall to buy some stuff for him and then we went to our house.

"Krisha! Arjun! Took you a lot of time. " Mom said as we entered while Arshit his behind us.

"What happened? And who is this kid? " She asked.

"Mom, he's your grandson. " Arjun announced and everyone present in the living room came rushing towards us and it included my parents too, cause I called them.

"What? Our grandson? " My mom and dad asked with surprise and excitement.

"Ours too? " Arjun's mom and dad asked.

"Yes. We adopted him today. His name is Arshit. " I said as Arjun calmly brought him in front from behind us.

Everyone was really overjoyed with it, but Arsh was clearly not.

"Mumma, who are they? " He asked me with that cute innocent voice.

"I'm your father's Mumma and he is your father's pappa. You can call me Dadi and him as dadu. " Mom said as she knelt to his level and pulled him in a hug.

"And I'm your Mumma's Mumma and he is your Mumma's pappa. You can call me Nani and him as Nanu. " My mom said with a smile.

"Wait, I'm left for introduction. " Kriti said as she came from her room.

"I'm your Aunt, and he is your baby brother, Kian. " She said as she showed him her son.

"I'm your uncle. Your aunt's husband. " Aryan said at last.

They all spent the whole night talking to him, whereas me and Arjun sat on the couch looking at all of them with happy face.

"We are complete today! " He whispered as he wrapped his arm around me.

"Indeed we are! " I said as I entangled his other hand in mine and kissed it.
