Chapter 6

Saying this, I gave a delightful surprise to Deepa, hugging her and kissing her on her cheeks and later, could not resist adding some more kisses, on the corner of Deepa’s mouth, as she had done to me earlier. I was quite happy later on having done what I did.

Rohit: What transpired before all of us, was indeed, very delightful. Me and Rohan could well vibe with the emotions that were exchanged between Deepa and Anu.

I then felt like adding more details for Anu to get a better understanding of our relationships.

I elaborated on our situation and shared with Anu, “You must know, Anu, Rohan and his mom Deepa were deprived of an atmosphere of love and intimacy, with Deepa’s former husband.

“It is only after Deepa’s husband’s departure for Dubai, recently, that they are now experiencing a liberated sense of freedom.”

And Anu, “you are witnessing their unleashing of love for each other, now that they are united with me.

“You must also know that only recently Rohan got to know that I am his real father.”

As I continued our story, the present context and situation that we all shared, I continued to address Anu, “Deepa joined my company after her marriage, Anu.

“Deepa was talented, beautiful, dignified, as you would have seen for yourself.” “She ran my company efficiently.

“Over time, we developed an intimacy and found comfort in each other, as I myself am a divorcee and I also perceived that Deepa herself had an unsatisfactory marriage.”

Anu silently absorbed everything I said. She was lost in her own thoughts for a moment. She came back from her reverie after some time and finally softly addressed me and said, “Rohit, I am happy that you all found the love that you all wanted.”

We all knew at that moment that Anu understood us well and hence, we were all mentally reassured, as to how well Anu fitted into our family. Probably, the same thought was going through all our minds, as to the realization that Anu was meant to be with us.
