The Nest
Swetha is a friend of Shyam from college. Shyam is working as an executive in Varun's company and is also a reliable friend of Varun due to his commitment and attitude at work.
Shyam referred Swetha for a role in the office and she made it to the final round of interview. The next stage is to get an offer letter and she is asked to join at the earliest.
She meets Shyam after the HR round and they both have tea in the cafeteria. Shyam is happy that she made it and Swetha was thanking him for the opportunity.
Though they work at the same office, they both are busy with their lives and can't meet each other regularly. Shyam is always busy with the boss. Varun is a young widower having lost his wife an year back. He has a daughter of about 2yrs of age. His parents were so worried about him and were looking a suitable girl for him, but he's not agreeing, as such a girl would not only be difficult to find but he was sure no girl would agree to his only condition of not to have a child of her own.
He was keeping himself very busy so that these thoughts would be kept at a distance and thus he has to spend only little time at home. He enjoyed being with his daughter.
Swetha was a good friend of Shyam and their friendship slowly changed to the next level. Swetha had her own rules to live life and one such was to adopt a baby as first kid. A program she watched on the TV made her decide this. When she opened up to Shyam regarding the next stage, Shyam was more than happy! But her condition made him delicate and stopped him from saying anything regarding this. He was the only child to his parents and he wasn't sure how his mom would react. He asked her if she could consider but she was too adamant. Their talks about this stopped though they continued their friendship.
Swetha's parents were looking for suitable alliances but it all flopped after the girl and the guy had a talk. Her parents were worried about her but she was firm.
One evening Shyam volunteered to drop her home but had to drop a file at Varun's. She decided to stay in the car. As it was taking more time, Shyam called her to come inside. She was hesitant at first but as there was no other option, she went in. Everyone was trying to console a little baby and she kept on crying in high pitch! She tried to help and asked Shyam if she can. He gave her a nod and she took the baby from the maid as her grandparents had gone out for some function. As she brought the baby outside to the lawn, the baby quietened a little. She sat down and put her gently to sleep. As she went in with her, the maid showed her the room and the crib.
She came out to see Varun standing outside the room waiting to thank her. She said that's fine. He talked to her saying as his mom had gone out, he came in to fill in but the situation was out of control today! She smiled and they both took leave.
Shyam was happy and said Varun must have been relieved! She said she's used to console her sister's kids. Also, motherhood is a natural instinct. He dropped her home and on the way told her about Varun and his life. She felt sad but kept quiet.
The next few days at work went on usual and after about a week, Shyam wanted to talk to her. He told her Varun was interested in knowing more about her and Shyam had given the details. Varun wanted to meet her either at home or outside and she obliged. Shyam took her to Varun's and introduced her to Varun's parents. The baby was happily playing this time and Swetha was happy to see her.
Varun came out to meet her and smiled. It did something to her. He stood behind her as she was sitting down on the floor with the baby and smiled at Shyam. She saw Shyam smiling too and immediately got up.
As all three came out, Shyam took leave but Varun insisted he stayed. Shyam said he had to hurry and soon Varun and Swetha went out in Varun's car. The drive was quiet and as they got down in front of the building, Swetha realized its the office! Before she looked at him, he said he felt comfortable to talk in his office rather than outside. They went to his cabin. As it was a long weekend coming up, most employees had left already.
She was asked to sit down in the opposite chair and Varun started casually about how long she's working there, her family details. She said she's the younger one and her elder sister is settled in Singapore with her two kids and spouse.
Varun didn't beat around the bush and told her about him and his family. Also that his parents are forcing him to marry again but his condition isn't working out. Shyam also told about her condition and he wanted to know if she's interested in considering him.
It was too quick for her. She didn't realize this coming but wanted sometime to think about it. His presence made her feel a breeze now and there was no more of boss subordinate feel in the air. She said she'll leave but he insisted upon dropping her.
This drive was a quiet one too and she got down near her home. He asked her to take her own time and as he went home, he called up Shyam and told him everything.
Swetha was too quiet that evening and had dinner and went to the terrace. She texted Shyam and asked if they could meet the next day morning by 8.
She couldn't sleep well till late in the night. She was in love with Shyam but he hadn't said anything positive but instead asked her to reconsider her condition.
Here now is the other proposal, though not a regular one but she's disturbed! Its more of a companionship with Varun and she would be the mom of that little girl.
The next morning Shyam was welcomed by her parents and he took her out to a park. As they sat down, she opened up to him. He said he knew it already and what's stopping her! Varun is a gentleman and he would be the best for you. She said she was thinking of him but he's showing another person!
Shyam said let's be practical. My parents, especially my mom would never agree to your condition. If you can reconsider this adoption, we can talk about it! Swetha said its not a business deal! I have always wanted to do this. I respect Varun for his thought and how he approached me but I was thinking of you! I thought you would stand by me but you are blaming your mom!
She asked him to be present when talking to her parents as it will be helpful. They both had breakfast at a nearby restaurant and Shyam said they had met a girl the previous evening and that's why he couldn't stay back. Swetha asked him if he liked her and Shyam said as his parents are happy he's happy too! Swetha said you're a real good son, Shyam!
Shyam said she was a great human! I'm selfish but you are selfless, Swetha! How many people think like you to adopt?! Its a life long sacrifice if you agree to Varun's condition! Your wish is also fulfilled now, right? Swetha said you are totally mistaken! I wanted to adopt a baby and Varun's daughter is born rich! I would accept only if Varun will agree to my condition, may be not immediately but sooner. Shyam was taken aback as he didn't see that coming! You are a hard nut, he thought! She also told him she would talk with Varun regarding this and he needn't disclose!
When Varun called up Shyam regarding some official matters, he also checked about Swetha. Shyam didn't know what to say but told him she said she would talk to him.
The Tuesday, work went on usual and Varun was away on a business trip and was coming back in the weekend. On Saturday morning, Shyam called Swetha to meet Varun in the office by 11ish. She went to the office in a cab and was happy to see Varun waiting for her.
He felt happy to see her too and she again felt excited though she didn't show it up. He smiled at her and she melted! He asked her if she wanted to discuss anything. She said openly she wanted to know if she can adopt another baby, may be not immediately but sometime soon. He said that's fine immediately! She was too happy. But to ensure herself, she asked him if his parents would agree. He said its his choice and his parents wouldn't interfere. As they both parted,she promised to talk to her parents.
Her parents were happy to see her excited. When asked, she came up with the whole proposal and they could check with Shyam. Her parents were in a fix as they couldn't accept! Her sister called up and asked if she was out of her mind! When she explained how he accepted and how that little girl is having a tough time without a mother, her sister said she's proud of her!
She also said she'll talk to her parents and as Shyam had already explained about the family both sides, everyone was happy! Shyam was getting engaged too and his fiancé also came.
They had a very simple registered wedding and completed the formalities in a nearby temple.
As everyone left, Swetha was in Varun's home, now her new home. His parents were nice to her and she started to quickly grasp the baby's routine. The baby was getting comfortable slowly with her and after two weeks, Varun's parents left for a temple tour and a family wedding. They wanted her to gel well with their son and granddaughter. After two months, Swetha and Varun brought in a new little sister home and they all had a wonderful time in their nest.
