" No." She replied.
                              
" Then how you became his mother without getting married?" He tried to ask patiently.
                              
" As I said earlier, marriage is not necessary......" He groaned loudly making her stop.
                              
" What?" She asked perplexed. 
                              
" Ok.....I will try for one last time." He said sighing and she nodded her head.
                              
" How Aman is your son?" He asked after thinking for sometime.
                              
" I adopted him." She said making him sigh loudly.
                              
He was happy for extracting the answer from her and was very much happy to know that she is single for the reason he doesn't know
                              
" You adopted him? Why?" He asked her.
                              
She looked uncomfortable at this question.
                              
" He is my brother's son." She said not knowing how to say.
                              
" Then where is he?" Rishabh frowned.
                              
" He....." She paused gulping the lump formed in her throat.
                              
" He is not here. I adopted Aman so that I can take care of him as a parent rather than a legal guardian." She said and her face looked like she is in pain.
                              
Rishabh didn't ask anything further and increase her pain more. He was impressed by her maturity and good heart.
                              
" It's a surprise how a person like you can handle a kid." He said smirking trying to shift her mood and it worked.
                              
" What do you mean by a person like me?" She asked glaring at him.
                              
" You know what I mean....." He said hiding his smile.
                              
" No, I don't know.....please enlighten me Sir." She said crossing her arms.
                              
" Mumma....." They heard Aman's voice.
                              
" Hey! Champ, Come inside." Rishabh said while Aman walked inside from the door.
                              
" What happened?" She asked him who whispered something in her ear. She nodded in understanding and got up to leave.
                              
" Where are you two going?" Rishabh asked them.
                              
" Aman needs to go to the restroom." She said.
                              
" You can use mine." Rishabh offered.
                              
" No sir, it's okay." She said and turned to leave.
                              
" I said you can use my restroom." He said again.
                              
" No sir thank you." She said.
                              
" But......" He tried to say.
                              
" Oh god! Mumma! It's urgent!" Aman exclaimed impatiently.
                              
" See go now." Saying this Rishabh opened the door of the restroom.
                              
Aman ran inside without waiting for her making her sigh and Rishabh laugh. She waited for him outside and Rishabh was keenly watching her. When Aman came outside, she adjusted his dress and asked him if he was hungry.
                              
" No mumma." He said and they both went to the door to leave.
                              
" Where are you going?" Rishabh asked.
                              
" I will make him sit outside and come back." She said.
                              
" No need for that, he will sit with us only." Rishabh said.
                              
" But we have work to do." She said.
                              
" Yes but still he will be with us only." Saying this Rishabh walked to Aman and lifted him in his arms.
