Mistress

Chapter 54- My son is alive

After two months

Meher's p.o.v

It's been two months since I have sent Sehreyar into jail. After sending him to jail I felt hurt and

satisfaction both.

I felt hurt because I loved him only. Maybe I have realised a little late but I indeed loved him. Sending

the person into jail whom you truly love is very painful. I can't forget all the happy memories of us.

But, I felt satisfaction because I got Justice finally. Whatever Sehreyar has done with me is totally

unforgivable. He violated my self-respect and dignity. For a woman, her self respect is like her most

precious jewel and she shouldn't compromise her self respect.

Right now, I am in my room with my busy little boy. He is trying to write something on a paper. I

chuckled seeing him. Finally, he is becoming normal without his father. He used to cry for Sehreyar and

I had a tough time while convincing him. I felt really bad that my son will grow up without his father's

love. But, I won't let him feel like that. I will prove that a woman can raise her kid alone. I will prove that

a man is always not needed to support a woman.

After Sehreyar's arrest, his company went under the business authority. He has indeed earned billions

by his illegal business. He not only did injustice to me but also fooled the people by producing fake

products. By using his fake products, many people fell ill. He really deserves to be punished for his

dishonesty.

I have started working as an Architect in another company. I have bought another apartment and a car

for myself. My brothers told me to live with them but I refused because I want to live alone with my son.

I want to lead my life as my own. I don't want to be dependent on my brothers.

I have appointed a nanny for Mehrab who take care of him whenever I went to work.

" Mamma, see. I have drawn you," Mehrab said excitedly showing me his drawing.

I looked at his drawing and found that he has drawn a woman. He has painted the woman's hairs in

brown colour. The woman is looking very similar to me.

" who is she, baby? I asked him pulling him into my chest.

He replied touching my face gently," It's my mamma. I have drawn you."

I became overwhelmed by hearing him. I pulled his chubby cheeks and kissed him hard. He also

kissed me back.

I am now busy with my little boy when my phone started ringing. I looked at the phone screen and

became shocked seeing the caller id. It's none other than Dr Zeba who delivered my children. I am

wondering why she is calling me suddenly.

I received the call and said," Hello, doctor Zeba. How are you?

" I am good," She replied and I can feel something is wrong with her voice.

I asked her curiously," What happened, Dr Zeba? Are you fine?"

" I am good. But, I want to meet you. Can you come to Bhopal urgently?" she asked me hesitantly.

I became confused about hearing her. I don't know why she wants to meet me suddenly. Is everything

alright?

I asked her worriedly," Is everything alright? You are sounding tensed?"

"Umm. I am fine. But please meet me. It's urgent," she requested me.

I couldn't say no to her after hearing her request. So, I replied," Ok. I will meet you soon."

" Thank you. I will be waiting for you," She replied and cut the call.

Now, I am just wondering what's the urgent matter? Why she was sounding so nervous and tensed. I

just hope everything is fine.

After some hour

I came to Bhopal to meet Dr Zeba. It's been months since I last saw her. I don't know why she called

me here urgently. I have to leave Mehrab with his nanny for some time.

I am now in front of Dr Zeba's house. I rang the doorbell and waited for some time. Dr Zeba opened the

door and I became shocked seeing her.

She is looking too much sick and dark circles are prominent under her eyes. I saw a remarkable

number of changes in her. She is looking so skinny than before.

"Please, come inside," She said smiling and I enterd her house.

We both seated in the living room area. I asked her curiously," Dr Zeba. You called me urgently. What's

the matter? Moreover, why are you looking so ill? What happened to you?"

Hearing me, she took a deep breath and said hesitantly," Ms Meher. I don't know how I will share

everything with you. I am really guilty about my doings."

" What are you talking about? I am not understanding anything," I asked her surprisingly. I really don't

have any idea what's she talking about.

Suddenly, she held my hands and said," Promise me that you will hear me out clearly before reacting."

I became shocked seeing her like that. Why she is talking like that? What's she hiding?

" Ok. I will hear you out. But, kindly tell me what happened? I assured her by holding her hands.

She gave me an awkward smile and started saying," I was having some problem in my uterus and I

couldn't conceive ever. That's why my husband divorced me. I couldn't remarry again because I

became barren."

She stopped right here and I felt really sorry for her. But, I don't know why she is sharing all this with

me. So, I said to her politely," I am really sorry for you. But, why are you telling me all this?"

This time she took a deep breath and started saying again," But, the dream of becoming a mother was

still inside me. I found hope of becoming a mother while you came to me for delivery."

Now, I became alert and also shocked. What's she talking about? I asked her impatiently," What do you

mean?"

Then, she replied having a guilty expression," Seeing your twin boys I couldn't resist myself. That's why

I thought to steal your one son. I told you lies that your one baby died. But, in reality, you gave birth to a

pair of a beautiful boy."

Hearing her, I felt like my body has turned cold. I became stiffened in my place. My other son is alive

and she stole him!! How it can possible? Am I hearing something wrong?

" My son is alive? I asked her while I felt that tears started forming in my eyes.

She replied becoming emotional," Yes, he is alive and living a very good life."

Now, something kicked inside my head. She stole my son from me and lied to me. Only I know how

much I have cried for my son. Only I know how much I have remembered him.

I stood up from my seat and marched towards her angrily. I asked her almost barking on her face," How

can you do that? How can you snatch my son from me? Do you know it's a crime? I will file a case

against you for stealing my son."

Saying that I started behaving like a crazy person. I held her shoulder tightly shaking her violently. I

want answers. Why she did all this?

"That's why I have called you here," She said to me and forcefully seated on the nearby couch.

I looked at her with my angry tearful eyes when she said crying," I am diagnosed with liver cancer. I

have only three months to live on this earth."

Hearing her, I became more shocked. She is suffering from cancer. That's why she is looking so sick.

" After me, there is no one to take care of my son Zahir. I mean your son. That's why I want to return This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

your son to you. It's the reason behind calling you here," She explained everything to me.

I asked her worriedly," Where is my son? Tell me where are you hiding him?"

Hearing me, she called someone loudly," Zahir, beta(dear). Where are you?"

After some time, I noticed that a boy whose age is around 2 years old entered the room with a ball in

his hand. Looking at his face I became shocked beyond level. He is exactly looking like Mehrab. It

didn't take much time for me to understand that he is my Mehmet.

" Mehmet," I said loudly where tears are soaking my cheeks. I ran towards him to hug him tightly.

Before I could touch him, he ran towards Dr Zeba and called her Ammi(mother). I felt very bad hearing

him calling someone else mother.

" You said to him that you are his mother? I asked her angrily.

She replied taking a deep breath," I am sorry for everything. But, trust me your son will be with you

again. I promise you that."

After several months

Author's p.o.v

It's been months since Meher has returned with her another son. She changed her son's name from

Zahir to Mehmet. She didn't file any case against the doctor seeing her health condition. The doctor is

going to die anyway so Meher didn't involve the police.

Meher's family members were shocked after hearing about Mehmet. They didn't want to let the doctor

go so easily but Meher requested them to not create any trouble. She handled everything with maturity.

And, she never went to meet Sehreyar again. For her, he is already dead.

First, first, Mehmet used to cry to go to Dr Zeba as she was his mother in his eyes. He hated Meher for

taking him away from his mother. Sometimes his annoyance crossed limits. But, Meher didn't give up.

She took care of him and slowly slowly Mehmet started believing in Meher.

Finally, he accepted Meher as his mother. Moreover, he started trusting Meher after living with Mehrab.

Both brothers have developed a strong bond between them.

Right now, Meher is in a shopping mall. She has come for shopping. She has to buy some clothes for

her sons. They are growing so fast and now their dress has become shorter.

Meher is busy with the salesgirl about payment where her sons are busy looking at a couple.

A couple is also here buying some clothes for their little girl. The father is kissing and adoring the baby

so much.

Seeing them Mehrab and Mehmet both felt that it would be great if they have their father with them.

They are looking at the man sadly.

Meher has finished her shopping and looked at her children. She found them looking at the caring

father. As a mother, she understood what's her sons thinking?

" Who is going to eat ice cream today? Meher said excitedly to divert her children mind.

Mehrab and Mehmet both said loudly in unison," Me..Me...."

" Then let's go," Meher said and bent down to their level.

They both got on Meher's waist holding her tightly. They clutched Meher's dress so that they won't fall

down. They both kissed Meher's cheeks and she smiled brightly.

" I will not let you feel the absence of your father," Meher thought mentally holding her sons tightly.
