**Dear Diary** (Writer of the diary is Mrinal)
I am sorry for being late. But I was quite busy with my baby, My Abhi babu and there is another person who is my everything . My Abhi, Abhay Singh Raizada . Tomorrow my baby will turn 5 years old. Yaayyy!!!! Our little bundle of joy. Again Choti ma and Chote papa took him to the park. He loves to go outside so much. So tomorrow there is a grand celebration of his birthday. I will be busy with that. And I will be late again. But late or fast I want to write what brought me here specially.
Sona ma, kakai and Chotodadbhai found me on the streets of Banaras and the whole Chatterjee family took me to Kolkata. I became Mrinal Chatterjee from Aradhya Ragini Mehra . And now I am Mrinal Chatterjee Singh Raizada. No matter what ***I Live In The Heart Of The MAFIA***.
This Mafia is my everything. One day we will become old but this love will never fade. No matter how cruel he is, he is most beautiful person I have ever met.
He may be merciless but the person who destroys people's live is not worth of mercy. The day when I went to meet them with Abhi I heard that girl saying that If Abhay wasn't there maybe she would be get sold out of this country, that day he became my hero. Not a super hero but a person who at least has the courage to save the girl who is no one to him.
What was that girl's mistake? She was as simple as us. But no those monsters have to kidnap her from the street and made her unconscious using drugs then drag her in a dark world and sell her in red light area or out of country.
I clearly remembered her words how she lost her every hope to get back to her life. But to god's grace my husband saved her. She worshipped him as god, it's only her choice. There are many persons just like her. They also have their own stories.
And I am happy he helped her and he still does. He was true to his words HE IS THE WORST CAUSE HE KEEPS BAD ONES IN CONTROL.
Life showed us many ups and downs. The day when he left me in front of my Institute in California, I was happy for my future but the night I broke down. I cried the whole night, without him I was sad may be saddest. But he was still beside me from far.
I don't know what future holds. But I believe in Dadubhai's words ‘Love conquers all. ‘
Yes, it is. If it wasn't maybe, he would leave me knowing I am daughter of the man whom he hates most . Maybe I would never be that much strong to take the bullet on myself. I forgot my world the moment I saw the bullet coming towards him. I would die instead of losing him. And I did.
*Even if I would have died that day I would still stay in his heart. * But his prayers brought me back. He is my solace and I am his everything.
And now I need to go. My baby boy will wake up. He is our world, the future king of Singh Raizada Empire.
Author's POV
*Next Day*
*In the morning*
Abhimanyu took blessings from his parents and elders. It was his 5th birthday.
A puja was arranged for his better future. Mrinal kept fast for the puja which was unknown to everyone. Soon the couple settled on assan for puja. The priest started doing puja.
At the end of the puja they took blessings from god. Everyone had breakfast together. The party will be held in the evening only. The preparations were already done.
Mrinal made both kheer and payesh. Being the son of Abhay and Mrinal, he loved both.
‘Thank you Ma.' Abhimanyu thanked his mother in his charming voice.
‘Your welcome. And thank your Bapi also, he also cooked with me.'
‘Thank you Bapi.' Abhimanyu thanked his father with a cute smile.
‘Your welcome my boy.' Abhay ruffled his hair.
Mrinal fed him first followed by his father and then others.
Abhimanyu already got so many gifts from his family members. Only his parents were left. Abhimanyu was sitting with his elder brother and sister. Their bond was really strong though they were cousins. Adi and Barsha are now teenagers. But still they are as sweet as they were in past. Abhimanyu loved his both cousins but Barsha were apple of their eye.
It was 11 am when Mrinal got ready in a simple saree. And Abhay got ready in a jeans and a shirt after he made Abhimanyu ready in a jeans and a shirt.
And Adi and Barsha were also going with them. All of them took leave from the family members and went to ‘Maithili Orphanage'.
The workers and all the children decorated the whole orphanage with ballons for Abhimanyu's birthday celebration.
They went inside only to get a surprise.
They distributed new cloths among them. Different types of cuisine were specially prepared for today. It was both Mrinal and Abhay's decision. They wanted their son's birthday to celebrate with them who were very close to them.
‘Abhi Babu take his and give this to Ansh Dada.' Mrinal handed him a packet of new cloths.
‘Ok Ma.' Saying that Abhimanyu handed the packet to him.
‘Thank You Abhimanyu and a very happy birthday to you my brother.' Ansh replied with a happy smile.
‘You're welcome Ansh Dada.' Abhimanyu replied with his cute smile. Like that they gave all the kids new cloths. Adi and Barsha were with Abhay helping Mrinal and Abhimanyu with the workers of the orphanage. They had lunch with them. Abhimanyu was adored by everyone not because of he was the son of their Abhi papa and Mira mom but he became a little brother, a friend and an elder brother for them.
Abhimanyu was sitting on the grass with his newly made friends and his dearest Dadabhai and Didibhai.
Barsha was sitting between his two brothers. Mrinal and Abhay were talking with the head caretaker of the orphanage. After spending some more times, they came back.
Before leaving Mrinal and Abhay invited all the kids
‘Did you guys enjoy?' Abhay asked the kids.
‘Yes Pisan/ Bapi.' Adi, Barsha and Abhimanyu replied.
Barsha yawned as she was feeling sleepy.
‘Barsha Love come sleep on my shoulder.' Mrinal slightly pulled her towards herself. Brasha lazily leaned her head on Mrinal's shoulder and slept. Soon they reached back to their mansion.
*In the evening*
Abhimanyu got ready with his father's help and went down. At the same time his cousins also came down.
‘Bhai toke khub handsome lagche!!' (Little brother you are looking so handsome!!) Barsha pulled his cheeks.
‘Thank you Didibhai. And you look like a Barbie and Dadabhai you also look handsome.' He replied in an adorable baby tone.
‘Aww!!Thank you.' Barsha chirped like a small kid. Adi patted her back and said ‘Yes my baby sis you like a Barbie. And you my brother you look very very handsome.'
‘Thank you Dadabhai.' Both Abhimanyu and Barsha replied. Barsha calls him Daddbhai because he is 10 months elder than her.
‘Come let's go to our parents.' Aditya(Adi) hold his little brother's and sister's hand. Both Abhimanyu and Barsha hold their elder brother's hand from two sides.
Everyone was already downstairs except Abhay and Mrinal. They looked towards the three cousins who were coming towards them and adored them looking at their bond and feeling happy about it.
******************************
Mrinal was struggling to wear the necklace.
‘Uff!! hath betha hoi gelo.' (Uff!! My hands are aching.) She was irritated due to all failure for wearing the neckless. She was about to put it back a husky voice came behind her.
‘Let me help you Baby.' He moved her hair on one side of her shoulders. Mrinal nodded her head in agreement.
‘You shouldn't keep the fast. Even my boy won't like it.' His voice was calm.
‘Abhi… it's .. it's just..' She stuttered knowing it will make him sad and upset. He turned her around as he made her wear the neckless ‘You shouldn't and don't do this next time.'
His voice left no room for argument. Mrinal cupped his face and said softly ‘I am sorry Abhi. I won't do that. I promise.'
Hearing her soft voice Abhay calmed down his inner devil.
‘It's just I don't want you to suffer. Don't repeat this Baby.' Mrinal nodded her head like a baby in front of her Devil.
‘Come let me help you.' He kneeled down and made her wear her heels. Mrinal was about to stop him but Abhay said to her ‘It's ok Baby. You can wear it for today.'
She smiled sweetly. Abhay knew she was really excited about today and he doesn't want to make her sad by not letting her put on heels.
*****************************
Mrinal hold Abhimanyu's one hand and Abhay hold another hand of Abhimanyu. The trio came downstairs. The whole Singh Raizada Mansion was beautifully decorated. The whole Mumbai city was invited for their son's 5th birthday.
Little Abhimanyu cut the cake along with his parents. Everyone clapped their hands wishing him ‘Haapy Birthday'. He fed the cake to his mother and father. Both Abhay and Mrinal fed him. Then one by one he fed cake everyone. After cake cutting ceremony according to Abhay's order paparazzi entered inside the big lawn area of Singh Raizada Mansion.
They took some photos of the couple with their boy. It was too tough to keep paparazi away from them especially from Junior Abhya Singh Raizada AKA Abhimanyu Singh Raizada.
But Abhay made sure only few pictures are taken. Within few minutes the couple entered back to their mansion with their boy not giving the paparazzi for a chance to speak.
‘It will be publishing on tomorrow's newspaper tai toh?!!' (Will it be publishing on tomorrow's newspaper?')
‘Yes Baby, but don't worry nothing will happen.'
‘It's okay Abhi moreover he is your son, one day or another he will be recognised by people.' Mrinal replied and tried to pick up Abhimanyu.
‘Ma, don't pick me up. Your back will be hurt.' Abhimanyu replied in his charming voice.
‘No Abhi babu I am fine.'
‘Ma I will only walk with you and Bapi (Father).' Abhimanyu's hold on his parents' hands became tighter.
The couple looked at each other and smiled. They entered inside the hall. The party again began. Abhimanyu was sitting with his friend Rohan who is son of Robin and Rima.
‘Happy Birthday Abhimanyu.' Rohan wished Abhimany.
‘Thank you Rohan.' Both of them hugged each other. They are in the same kindergarten. Abhimanyu is very much reserved but he has his own charm. Most importantly his eyes. Those blue orbs are just like ocean.
Abhimanyu was a quite boy but not a shy one. Rohan and he became best friends though Rima and Robin didn't appreciate as he was their boss's son it but Mrinal and Abhay were very happy about it.
Abhay lost his childhood friends and couldn't make new friends. Mrinal found Rima, Isha, Arin, Ishaan, Iyaan and Andrew only.
Abhimanyu was not only good in studies but also in sports. A he was a bookworm just like his mother. The boy looks like a ball of cuteness. He loves when his mother kisses him. His cousins are very protected for him.
And he was most adored by his four pairs of grandparents and great grandparents. The prince of Singh Raizada was just like his parents.
He is not only son of THE DEVIL but also son of THE ANGEL.
Isha came a little bit late and joined them. Ishhan and Iyaan also came for their future king. Andrew came with his boyfriend Brian. She was little bit hesitate but after talking with Mridul he badly wanted to join them specially today. And there was another one who also came. It was Mili, that sweet little girl who made Mrinal possessive about her husband for the first time. Mili came with her husband and their 8 years old daughter Jiya.
Mrinal and Abhay personally introduced them to Abhimanyu along with Rima, Robin, Rohan and Vinay. Abhimanyu sweetly thanked them as they wished them ‘Happy Birthday' and gave him birthday gifts.
All of them knew how can be Abhimanyu knowing his parents. But to their surprise he was beyond their imaginations. The little kid was polite with his behaviour along with his sweet voice and charming nature and most importantly his attitude. He was not rude but he is the future king of Singh Raizada Empire and it was clear from his aura.
One look at him and Robin and Vinay understood what his capability was. The way he was talking with his newly found companion in the orphanage made them believe who he is.
The future DEVIL has an angelic heart.
