Chapter 1 Tears Of Little SHAURYA

"Ma Ma!", Little Shaurya was pulling his mother's dress just to get her attention, who was busy baking Pineapple cake. His favorite one.

His mother smiled at him and carried him in her arms.

"Ma. Ma", Shaurya said and kissed her cheeks.

"Yes, Baby Shaurya", His mother ruffled his silky soft hair locks and kissed his forehead lovingly.

"Ba . l . Un . Ch (balloons)", he said in his baby voice and his mother smiled widely at him and his baby's soft and broken voice.

"My baby Shaurya wants balloons huh?", She asked and he giggled and stared at her red bindi on her forehead.

"Yech yach (yes)", Shaurya showed his tiny teeth and started playing with her single diamond nose pin.

He loved to watch her face. Red bindi and stone nose pin are his most favorite ones after pineapple cake and balloons.

"Okay, in the evening We will go with your papa to buy more balloons", His mother said and pulled out his chubby cheeks.

"Pa Pa", He said happily and jumped out of his mother's arms.

"Yes baby! With your PaPa. Because Today is my baby's 5th birthday", His mother said and swirled him around.

"Bird day", Little Shaurya said and started jumping.

"Chaulya bird day", Shaurya said and laughed and ran in the whole house. Her mother was running behind him.

"Mama catchy catchy chaulya", He said and giggled loudly.

They laughed and played hide and seek.

In the evening, Little Shaurya was coming back with his parents from the market. He asked his father to buy his favorite toy Gun, balloons and teddy bear.

His father and mother were about to take turns of the valley then suddenly bullets showered on both of them. They screamed and fell down on the street.

Little Shaurya was traumatized by the scene in front of his eyes. His parents were blooded and their eyes were widely opened. He screamed and hugged his parents' bodies.

"Ma Ma. Pa Pa", His tears were making his vision blurry and his heart was pounding frantically inside his innocent small chest to see his family lying down on the street.

He saw how two masked men came and caught him and threw him in the car. He was screaming continuously.

He watched his parents until they disappeared from his sight. He was thrashing his legs. One man slapped him so hard that his head was spinning in pain.

He was sobbing continuously and saying only one word - "Ma Ma"

Here an innocent and happy boy Shaurya died.

After a few hours, somewhere else in the capital city, They locked him in a cell. They gave him one loaf of bread and a glass of water to drink but he didn't touch them.

Shaurya was terrified and whenever he closed his eyes, he saw his mother and father's face and their blooded bodies. He was staring blankly at the same place for hours. He didn't know when sleep consumed him.

"Leave me", Little Shaurya jolted up by the screaming of a female voice.

Shaurya was sobbing silently. But after a few hours he felt a warm aura around him. He turned around and saw that a very beautiful woman was also there in the same cell as him.

He looked at her and he found his mother in her face but he knew that she was not his lovely mother. His mother and father were dead. His parents were killed by the bad men. His tears were running down from his beautiful deep honey brown eyes.

That Lady sadly smiled at him and opened her arms for him to come close to her. After hesitation he slowly moved towards her and she captured him in her warm embrace.

He snuggled more into her body and she ruffled his silky soft hair just like his mother did for him. He was semi-conscious and whispered, "MaMa"

That lady was Pashika and those bad men were Vikranth's gangmen.

"MAMA", Suddenly, Shaurya woke up from his nightmares which always turned into sweet dreams when Pashika entered into his life.

Pashika Kashyap, His beautiful mother. Shaurya didn't have any memories of his biological parents because whatever he had , was all coloured in the blood, tears and pain of his parents.

A complete nightmare.

Shaurya picked up his phone and dialed his mother's phone number.

Pashika picked up the second ring.

"Bunny baby! How are you? Are you fine? Baby, did you eat your dinner? Use warm water for the bath and yeah wear full clothes too. Baby! why are you not saying anything?", Pashika was impatiently waiting for his reply but only heard his chuckles.

"Jaan! (Love) if you'll give time to him then he'll be able to speak", Arjun mocked at her speed for asking thousands of questions in a minute without breaking her breath.

"Will you keep quiet? I'm talking to my baby, not you Mr. Arjun Kashyap", Pashika glared at him.

"Stop glaring, Jaan otherwise I'll kiss you hard and then tomorrow morning when our kids ask you about your swollen lips then I'll see how you answer them", Arjun threatened her and returned and got a hit from his Jaan.

"Mama! Dada ! I'm still on the line", Shaurya said and laughed at their romantic bickering.

"Baby! you say. Your father doesn't have any work apart from disturbing me", Pashika said and Arjun huffed in annoyance.

"I'm good, Mama. I just wanted to hear your voice", Shaurya said and picked up a glass of water and gulped it down.

"Baby! You're still watching my younger days picture", Pashika asked and smiled at his cute action.

"You know me", Shaurya said and wiped his mouth and again watched her young picture when she hugged him and said lovingly , "Shaurya Arjun Kashyap, my Son"

"When are you coming back baby? I'm missing you", Pashika said and Shaurya sighed loudly.

Arjun immediately engulfed her in his arms .

"I'll come Soon. So stop crying Mama", Shaurya said and sighed loudly.

Shaurya could not see tears in her eyes. He loved her so much that he would do anything for her happiness.

His mother was a blessing for her. His gift God sent her for him.

"I'm waiting", Pashika replied and sniffed in Arjun's chest.

"Good night! Mama and Dada", Shaurya said and smiled at her.

"Good night, Bunny Baby", Pashika and Arjun said at the same time.

The call was disconnected.

"I love you Mama but I am not ready to see her. JIYA. My JIYA. A kid. She is a kid and how could I fall for her?. She is just like my Mama but I can't love her. But I have to go back to India. For how long I'll stay here?. Ansh also joined the company with Uncle Davy long back and I'm here wandering around like a lonely cloud. Dada needs me. Maybe this is the time for me to go back. Mama, Dada I'm coming", Shaurya thought and went back to sleep.

As he hardened his heart to face the FORBIDDEN Love of his life.
