ME LOVE YOU

Valerie was stupified to here this. She thought, "So she didn"t send them with him!" Ria was the one, who everyone feared in the family. The tantrums she make are unbearable. Valerie didn"t know what to say but one thing was sure! In a minute the house is gonna turn upside down.

Seeing Valerie"s reaction, Ria somehow guessed something was not right. Still she smiled and asked, "What is it mom? Where are they?"

Valerie said in low but steady tone, "They are not here." Ria"s expression changed but she didn"t say anything she looked at Valerie coldly. Valerie then said, "They left with Ren." Ria spoke in a accusing tone, "What did you say? They left with Ren?"

Ria"s face became red, she was boiling with anger now. She thought, "You....! Not only you took my Sketchbook! My kids too!" Ria was completely engulfed in anger she forgot the simple fact that they are his kids too.

She didn"t say or ask anything to Valerie she ran to her room. "How dare he take my kids without my permission! I shouldn"t have brought them here. What if he didn"t give them back to me!", Ria"s thoughts were running wild.

In these three years, her kids were the only ones who gave her a reason to move forward. She kind of felt lost and alone in a moment. The same feeling she felt, when she left I country. Her mind is saying her that this is just a simple thing but her heart is not recognising her mind.

She changed into a off shoulder full sleeve red top and cream pencil Jean. She didn"t tie her hair, no time for thinking about jewelry. She picked her purse and mobile then rushed to Lucy"s room.

Like she thought Lucy is in her room, she must be the one who gave the kids to him. She knocked the door but not gently. There is no movement in the room. "Lucy! Open up", she shouted. "No, you will scold me", a voice came from the other side.

She took a deep breath, "Lu! I won"t scold you. Just open up I need something from you". There was the silence for few minutes. "Really?", she asked. Ria lost her patience, "Lucianna you better open the d.a.m.n door this moment or you will suffer the consequences ten times fold".

Suddenly, the door was opened. Lucy said fastly, "I didn"t do anything. I just texted him, so that he could convince you for the marriage. I didn"t know he will take the kids with him. I"m sorry!"

Ria looked stunned at Lucy. She thought, "So you were the one who ratted me out". She looked at Lucy coldly and said, "I want your car keys and Ren"s mobile number, now." Lucy rushed to get her car keys then gave it to her and said, "He never changed his number. It is the same".

Ria walked out of the room without saying anything. Lucy let a heave sigh and crashed into her bed. Ria came back and said, "Don"t think you are forgiven for ratting me out". Then she went out. Lucy was terrified.

Ria went to Emma"s room, directly entered her room. Emma saw her and said, "Whoa! A little privacy please, Mam". Ria said indifferently, "Entrance, 2minutes". Then she rushed out. Emma, "---".

Ria went towards parking garage, on the way she dailed Ren"s number. It was in her memory, it stayed there even after years. She said to herself, "It is not the time to reminisce, Ria. Your kids are your first priority."

After number of rings, when the call is going to end someone picked the phone. A deep and refreshing voice, "Whoever it is, how did you get my personal number?" Ria thought, "Stupid is this how you speak to someone! Arrogant idiot!"

Ria cleared her throat, actually she was searching for words. "Get a tonic, If you have a dry throat! Don"t disturb me, Bye!", Ren said, then the took the phone from his ears and chuckled. He knows that this her number. He has it for a long time, never called her though.

On the other end, Ria rushed, "Wait a minute, Don"t hang up!" She has already boarded the car. He said, "I"m listening". Ria took a deep breath and said seriously, "Where are my kids?"

Ren said causally, "Ask your husband, Madame". Ria was irritated and thought, "He is doing this deliberately". Ria asked controlling her temper, "Don"t you know who is speaking?" Ren said smoothly, "No, sweety!"

Ria somehow became more angry and said, "So you call someone you don"t know as sweety?" Ren chuckled and said, "Is this jealousy, sweetheart?" The corner of Ria"s lips curled up and said, "You do know then!"

Ren frowned for getting caught soon. He replied "Hmmm.." Ria went straight to the topic, "Where are my kids, Mr.Kozhaksi?" When Ria asked this question, the kids came out from the trail room.

Varun was wearing a Cream colour shirt with light blue pant and light blue waist coat. Diya was wearing a pink and red frock. They looked like little prince and princess. Ren gave a thumbs up to them. He stood up and they walked to a cake shop opposite to them in 6th floor. The garments shop was in 5th floor.

Ria didn"t hear anything from him except the noise of crowd in the background. Ria repeated the question, "Where are my kids, Ren? I want them back, immediately."

Ren said with a smile, "MY kids are shopping with me, Ria. We are in "R&L" shopping mall. If you want them back immediately, you shouldn"t get them yourself. Don"t you think?" Then he hung up.

Ria was frustrated on hearing him speak so cheerfully. She drove the car out and saw Emma sitting on the entrance steps while holding her face in her two hands. Ria thought, "Oh! I forgot her!" She drove towards the entrance, Emma boarded the car but didn"t say anything.

Ria spoke in a mild tone, "Sorry Emma. Ren took the kids with him and I was arguing with him now in the parking." Emma looked at her the shrugged her shoulders and said, "I understand, you were always desperate when it comes to your kids." Then she smiled and said, "Lets go and get Diva"

Ria smiled a little and they took off. They reached the mall in 20 minutes with traffic and working day and all. Ria and Emma searched the 8 floor shopping mall. They looked inside all the kids garments store. There was no sign of them, Ria looked in the food court too.

Then she called Ren, he picked at the fourth ring and asked, "Where are you?" Ria looked around and said, "Where are you? Which shop are you in? I looked inside all the garments shop and food court too"

Ren thought "Always, the smart one ah! But I saw the world 5 years before you sweetheart" Ria was still catching her breath when Ren asked, "Which mall are you in?" Ria was confused but she replied, " Didn"t you say "R&L" Shopping mall?" Ren replied while hiding his smile, "Did I?"

Ria said coldly, "Where the h.e.l.l are my kids?" Ren replied while chuckling, "Oh sweetheart! Chill! I said it was "R&R" Shopping mall. It was not my mistake, you know!" Ria shouted in agony, "You..."
