Mistress novel Chapter 55

After three months

Meher's p.o.v

" And, the best architect award goes to Meher Afroz Khan for her outstanding design for the most prestigious hotel ' Hotel Royal Blue," the host declared and I couldn't control my emotions.

I immediately stood up and gave Mehrab and Mehmet in Adeel Bhaiya's arm. I heard my brother Asif is congratulating me along with Haniya Ji.

Well, I am here in the design icon award organised by the Architect community.

I walked towards the stage and received the award. The host told me to say some words about my achievement.

I took the mic from the host's hand and started saying," First of all, I want to thank my Almighty for showing me the right path always and helping me. I am grateful to my family members for supporting me always and I am dedicating this award to my little boys. They are the biggest strength of mine."

After that, I heard a loud clapping sound. I looked at my brothers who are looking at me with their teary eyes. I also noticed my both munchkins excited face. I smiled brightly looking at them.

Then, I thanked the audience and came down from the stage. I don't know why I missed Sehreyar here. I wanted to show him that I am not any mistress. I have the ability to establish my own identity.

I walked towards my family members and my children jumped on me excitedly.

" Mamma, you won a prize. Yey......" Mehrab and Mehmet both said in unison and kissed my cheeks.

I patted their head gently when Adeel bhaiya said smiling," I am proud of you. I am happy that I have a sister like you."

" Thanks, bhaiya," I replied and looked at Haniya Ji.

She gave me a warm smile and said," Congratulation. You deserve this award."

I just nodded my head politely and asked her," Do you still think that I shouldn't have sent your brother into jail?"

She looked at me with her wide eyes after hearing my questions. She wasn't expecting this question.

" All is about Karma. My brother is paying for his karma. I don't blame you," She said sadly.

We all became quiet for some time. An awkward silence takes over the whole atmosphere.

" We should celebrate this achievement," We heard Asif's excited voice.  I know he is trying to lighten up this gloomy atmosphere.

Then, Adeel bhaiya said smiling," Yes, let's celebrate."

I also agreed with them and Haniya Ji also agreed with us.

After one week

Author's p.o.v

" Mamma, catch us," Mehrab and Mehmet both said in unison while running on a beach. Meher is running after them to catch.

Meher is wearing a sky blue long sundress with half sleeves. Her honey brown colour hairs are open and flowing in the fast wind of the seashore. She is looking too beautiful in her dress. And, her little munchkins are wearing shorts with small thin shirts. They are looking too cute in their attire.

Meher said laughing loudly," You naughty boys! You are making mamma tired."

After running for some time, Meher caught her sons and they giggled loudly. She kissed their chubby cheeks and they also kissed her back.

Well, yesterday was Mehrab and Mehmet's birthday. They both have turned 3 yesterday. Meher celebrated their birthday in India. But, she promised her sons that she will take them on vacation. So, she has taken them to the Maldives for vacation.

Meher is now walking with her sons at the seashore. Both are holding their mother's hands. Mehrab is holding Meher's right hand and Mehmet is holding Meher's left hand. The little wave from the ocean is touching their feet muscles relaxing them.

" Mamma, this is so beautiful," Mehmet said looking at the ocean.

Meher smiled and patted his small head. She is also enjoying the beautiful weather here.

Then, Mehrab said excitedly pointing his one baby finger to the ocean," Look, Mamma. A big boat."

" Hmm. It's huge," Meher said looking at the huge boat.

Suddenly, Mehrab and Mehmet both ran towards the ocean and started jumping on the water. Meher also followed her naughty kids and ran behind them.

" Mamma," Mehmet said and splashed a little bit of water on Meher's face.

Meher said splashing some water on Mehmet," You naughty boy. Take it."

" Yey. It's fun to play like this," Mehrab said excitedly and splashed some water on his mother and brother.

After that, they started enjoying the cool water of the ocean. Meher and her sons are giggling with their mother. Meher became a child with her children. She is looking so carefree and enjoying every moment with her sons.
