The Seed You Threw
Chapter 26

Dev stared at his son's chocolate bead, his tears streaming down the river. It felt like he didn't want to leave his son for a second, but he knew how stubborn Kiran was. For the time being it was better for him to give up for the sake of mutual calm.

"Daddy will be back, now help Daddy persuade Mommy to forgive, Daddy," Dev said before boarding the car.

Krish looked at his mother and pleaded, he needed the father figure he had longed for. Had enough of the insults his mother did not know. Krish is always getting ill-treatment because he is the only one who does not have a full parent.

In fact, he often gets harsh words like an illegitimate child. What else all this time he did not know who his real father was, for just his portrait he did not know apparently.

Neha and Akram saw it all, and they cried because Krish was begging, but his mother was indifferent. It might be true what Dev said, Kiran just needs time. Five years is not a short time, so many obstacles that he faced from since Krish was still in the womb.

Who wants to live without a partner? The person she always loved and adored, in fact, threw her away. If Neha had been in that position, she might not have been able to face the mouth of a neighbor more venomous than a snake. Kiran just needs time to receive Dev back. Pain that takes time to heal.

Finally, with a heavy heart Dev went to leave the reot house that was not worth living. He'll be back tomorrow and slowly he'll persuade Kiran back to accept him, however he's entitled to Krish because of him as his biological father.

"Mommy's evil, Mommy's not dear, Krish." The boy sulked leaving Kiran whose feelings were still uncharacteristic.

"Krish!" call Kiran.

But Krish doesn't care, can he just be selfish this time? He wanted to have a father like his other friends.

"Kiran, my husband and I go home first? I hope you think about this carefully. Everyone deserves a second chance, I hope you will do that for your son" Neha said.

Neha and her husband were very happy.

Next morning.

Dev came as promised, this morning he came to bring toys and nice clothes for Krish. Not to forget he brought his son's favorite food, because when Krish was invited to the restaurant, the boy had a lot of stories. Without feeling it, Dev even shed tears. He was still standing in the doorway.

Krish rarely gets good food, while he has lived well. Dev himself could not forgive him because without him wanting to, he had made both meaningful people in his life, life suffer.

And from this moment on he will make up for all his mistakes. Dev hadn't gotten in yet, he heard a commotion inside. I don't know what happened, which she obviously heard Kiran was angry.

"Krish, Mommy isn't no darling, but she doesn't need us, she dumped us, Krish!" firmly Kiran.

His son repeatedly begged his mother to forgive his father. And Kiran still remained in her stance, she had not been able to forgive Dev easily. Five years is not worth the word sorry, he lived to suffer all this time. And so easily the man came and apologized after what happened.

"But I want to have daddy, Mommy. I want to be like my other friends."

Kiran did not want to hear her son's whining, she instead went to the back to work. Her laundry today was pretty much, it should have been last night when she was doing laundry, but an unexpected incident happened.

"Mommy, Mommy!" yell Krish. The tiny body slumped, Krish crouched in the corner of the wall hugging his knees. Her adorable face was hiding on both knees.

Krish cried so much that he turned his head because he heard the door open.

"Daddy." Her bead eyes shone, in a flash Krish's face shone.

Dev walked over and showed me what he was carrying. Krish is happy. Never had a toy that good. There are cars, motorcycles, and many others. However, there was one that made Krish even more interested, his hungry stomach smelling the smell of food.

"Daddy bring food?" asked Krish innocently.

"Yes, Daddy brought a lot of food. Daddy also brought clothes for you, today Daddy will take you out for a walk.

"Hore, take a walk." Krish is getting more and more happy to make.

"Where, Mommy?" ask Dev to Krish.

"After, Daddy. Mommy's at work" Krish replied.

"Work?" dev asked, she did not know what job her lover was doing.

"Yes, Mommy likes to wash the clothes of the neighbors after returning from work from the restaurant" Krish explained.

Dev's heart melos. As soon as it hurt she heard that, out of curiosity Dev immediately went back to meet Kiran. But again, he felt tremendous pain. The sight he saw was truly appalling. Kiran was crouching while holding the plate, maybe the woman was cradling her hungry stomach.

Before he works, he must have energy. I don't know what the lady ate, it was like a piece of bread. Whether it was delicious or because it was hungry, Kiran ate the food voraciously. Then, the woman drank with two glasses. Exactly what Dev did when he was hungry, he also experienced it. Hunger that can not be held, in order to fill his stomach he drank a lot.

Dev still watched Kiran from a distance. After eating, the woman continued her activities. Kiran starts washing clothes, and Dev's heart is sliced. This is what her lover does every day, a job that the woman never does.

"Kiran," call Dev.
