5 The Adoption (1/2)

Renu was looking into the baby's crystal azure eyes while standing silently beside him. She was getting immersed into those bottomless eyes. She was feeling a kind of euphoria inside like she was swimming freely into the deepest part of an ocean and so many colourful fishes were dancing around her.

In the next moment, it was as though she had grown a pair of wings on her back and started flying into the clear skies, soaring towards the heavens, looking down at the tiny world like it never mattered.

It was an amazing feeling to have. She was enjoying herself.

In the next instant she saw an incredibly beautiful sight which dazzled her eyes. She felt like she was wandering into the s.p.a.ce. There were countless stars twinkling and lighting up the dark universe.

There were so many beautiful constellations of stars and moons scattered around everywhere. It was so beautiful that she couldn't express it into words. This was all making her heart humble in joy.

Suddenly she saw a mysterious ent.i.ty which resembled a human male, coming towards her from far away. He was riding a huge beast which looked like an ancient mythological dragon. The dragon looked majestic under all those bright light which shone upon it.

The human who was riding that dragon, it felt as though he was no ordinary human. His aura alone was radiating enough to make all those sun, moon and stars look dim in his presence. It was as if they had lost their light in front of him. He seemed to be the sovereign of these stars and creating or destroying them would be an easy feat for him.

His speed was exceptional. A moment ago he seemed to be miles away from her but in the next instant he arrived beside her. He turned his head towards her and stared directly into her eyes.

A faint look of astonishment could be seen in his eyes at this moment. He was surprised to see an ordinary human wandering around in this realm.

Renu felt as though her whole being started trembling violently just by matching his gaze. She tried to break the eye contact but couldn't.

”Who are you?” A voice that can make the skull of even the most powerful person to go numb sounded in her ears.

She stood there in complete silence. She tried to reply him but not a single word could come out of her throat.

”You shouldn't be here.”

”You should go back to where you came from.”

He flicked his hand towards her and in the next instant, she started to feel dizzy. Her eyes closed. It was as if someone had started to push her down at an uncontrollable speed.

In the next instant her conscious came back to reality.

”Renu....Renu...”

Vivek was calling nonstop while shaking her hand. He was flabbergasted to see Renu being like this.

”Umm”

The moment her conscious came back into her body she heard Vivek's call and replied nonchalantly. She was still staring at the baby.

A hint of faint smile seemed to take form on baby's adorable face and after watching that Renu cracked a smile herself. She was getting curious about this baby after witnessing those unbelievable things in that strange dream-esque reality.

She thought she had been hypnotized just by looking into the baby's eyes.

”Who is this baby? Where did he come from? What was the reality that I saw? How did I end up there and who was that overbearing person?”

So many questions were flooding into her mind.

”Why were you dozing off? Are you not feeling well?” Vivek asked.

”No, nothing's the matter. I'm fine.” Renu replied.

She didn't think that it was right to tell him what she saw. No one in their sane mind will believe what she saw.

She turned towards the receptionist and asked in a curious manner.

”Who is this baby? Could you tell me about him?”

”Oh….this baby, we know nothing about this baby. He was abandoned at our front gate by someone last night.” Receptionist replied.

”Last night! In that dangerous storm...?” Renu asked worriedly.

”Yes, someone was frantic enough to abandon a baby in that thunderstorm. I think that he was trying to get rid of this baby as soon as possible.” Receptionist said with a frown on her face. She was angry.

”Who had the heart to abandon an adorable child like him?”

”Just look at him, those eyes, this nose, and these little hands. He is so beautiful.”

She looked at the baby again and brought forth her hand to touch his cheeks. The skin of the baby was so smooth that it seemed as though she was touching a finely carved marble sculpture. Suddenly the baby moved his hands and his little palm grabbed on to one of her fingers.

Motherly love started to fill the void which was formed inside the heart of Renu after that incident. The heart which was frozen after the death of her baby started to get warm again. She was smiling involuntarily.

”Okay, we can talk about it later after meeting the caretaker. Now let's go.” Vivek said.

The receptionist escorted them to the caretaker's room.

”Madam, here's the couple who wanted to adopt a baby, Mr. Vivek and his wife Renu Malhotra.” After knocking on the door once the receptionist bowed slightly and said in the most polite manner.

”Ahem”

The caretaker of this orphanage, Margaret Rizvi also known as Madam Margaret cleared her throat before looking up from all those papers lying at her desk.

She was a woman in her early fifties but she looked as though she hasn't aged a day after her forties. She wore a silk sari with a blue cardigan.

While talking to someone, she had a habit of stroking her spectacle. That's why she wore a spectacle with a round frame while a slim golden colored chain was tying on it which went around her neck to prevent it from falling off.

”Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra. Have a seat.” after looking at them for a moment, she greeted them with a smile.

”So, both of you want to adopt a child. Have you discussed all the obscurities lying in it?” While looking towards Renu, madam asked.
