My theme for this year's A to Z Challenge is A Reader's Take, where everyday I will be picking out a novel title corresponding to that day's letter and write my post based on it. To make it more challenging, I have decided to write a serial story. The novel I have selected for today is 'God is a Gamer'
(Read the previous chapter here)
Leave Me Never
Chapter 7
(Read the previous chapter here)
7 years later…
Kayra returned home
from her work to find Ansh sleeping peacefully. The innocent look on his face tugged at her heart strings. She went and sat beside him, as quietly as she
could manage. She didn't want to wake him up. A small smile was playing on his
lips, as if he was envisioning something happy and beautiful in his dreams. Kayra sent a
quick prayer to the almighty that the smile would stay intact on his face
forever.
Ansh rolled over and
put his arm around her. It was like he could sense Kayra's presence even in his
deep slumber. A warm feeling started spreading through Kayra. She knew she wasn't
able to spend as much time with him as she wished and it irritated her but Ansh
never complained. He always understood her. Kayra felt lucky to have him in her
life. Overcome with pride and love, Kayra couldn't stop herself from running
her hand through his hair. The spell was broken and Ansh woke up from his slumber. A pair of
tiny brown eyes looked at her, confused for a moment, before happiness took
over. He jumped into Kayra's arms and put his arms around her neck. “Mumma! I
missed you so much” he cried as he snuggled in her arms. “I missed you too baby”
said Kayra, smiling despite herself.
8 years back, if anyone
had told her that she would leave everything and everyone she loved behind to
raise a child, she would have laughed. But God sure was a Gamer and she was
doing now what she hadn't imagined even in her wildest dreams! But she had no
complaints. She loved Ansh so much and her world revolved around him. She
wouldn't want her life any other way than it was now. Or did she? Ayaan’s
thoughts started crawling back into her memory and she chided herself for it. Hadn't she made peace with her past and accepted this new life? But try as she might, she couldn't stop herself from wondering how he was for the millionth time
again!

DeleteNow that's a twist I was expecting... I am waiting for the whole story to unfold.
ReplyDeleteU were expecting it? Smart you are Raji ;)
DeleteGreat concept - layered - one following the alphabet challenge and the second developing a story thread. Nice touch to keep people guessing. A soap opera in the making here:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lata :)

ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank you Geetika :) Keep visiting :)
DeleteYay! This is exactly what I had guessed. She moved away coz she got pregnant. The baby is Sameer's if I am guessing correctly.
ReplyDeleteBut I hadn't expected a time leap. Nicely done, Swathi. :)
*Shantala @ ShanayaTales*

DeleteYou made my jaw drop Swathi. Still reeling from what I read. Seven years and a child ahead.... whoa :D
ReplyDeleteyay :D :D
DeleteHmmm, so she left because she was pregnant and didn't want the father to know? Interesting twist! Or, is that the wrong conclusion? Clever to keep us guessing. ☺
ReplyDeleteClose but not the correct guess. Keep guessing and keep visiting Debbie ;)
DeleteOhh.. complicated, I wonder whose son is Ansh.
ReplyDeleteIt is a Secret secret for now :D
DeleteOhh ! A new character yet again but it thickens the plot further. Whose child is Ansh ? Spill the beans soon. :)
ReplyDeletevery soon EM ;)
DeleteAnsh!?! Is he Sameer's son?? Hope we get the answer in the next chapter!
ReplyDeleteNext chapter is too soon for the answer. But you will get a hint there Shilpa :)
DeleteOh, Ansh brings a new twist to the story!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, he does ;)
DeleteThis A-z challenge seems interesting thing, I might try it myself, when I get more spear time. That pic with quote of heart never forgetting is somehow so heartbreaking yet so true at the same time.
