Reborn as a Mom Chapter 11

Published at 3rd of January 2019 03:12:41 PM Chapter 11

Vivian visited his mom on weekend .

Ira expressed to tag along this time .

She didn't want to visit her alone .

It could very well be like her first meeting .

She remembered, during the engagement when everyone was waiting for the bride, Ira showed up in a charcoal black dress to show her rebellion .

Ira was rude to his Mom . She didn't talk to her .

The next time was even more disrespectful . It was after their marriage Ira called her aunt . His mom said "You can call me Mom"

"I already have a Mom" she had mumbled .

Maybe she heard that!

Maybe she even hates her!

She never felt so anxious . . .

What should I wear?

What should I take as a gift?

What should I talk?

Ira knew Viv loved his mom a lot .

She now wondered about her .

What kind of person is she? Serious? Funny? Reserved?

Ira wanted to know her and get close to her so

She did a quick online search on the way .

____How to impress mother in law___

1 . The gift shouldn't go one way .

2 . Accept generosity .

3 . Don't compete .

4 . Ask for his childhood memories and jokes .

5 . Respect her .

After doing a full research it was time for the big test .

Past Ira never visited her place . So it was first time visiting his Mom

While entering the house Ira held Vivian's hand to feel safe . It was hard to imagine the tough impregnable Ira would someday quiver with nervousness on meeting her mother in law .

Immediately upon her arrival inside her eyes fell on a huge photo hanged on the wall . It was their wedding photo .

Ironically her own house didn't have one but his mom placed it so conspicuously .

His mom Tara came to them with a wonderful smile "You have arrived . Come . "

"Congratulations . You gave me such a good news . How are you, Ira? "

"Good" she replied .

She tried to remember the list first gift . . .

"Mom, I bought these for you . "

She had a jewellery box . His mom opened it, saw a pair of earrings; a teardrop blue diamond .

His mom looked confused so she explained eagerly "You always wear beautiful earnings . These one here are from Nirvana latest collection Tiara . "

Mom still in a daze .

'Oh no did I come across as a pretentious person . ' she thought

" I thought you will like them . So I bought this . "

"Ha ha" Viv started laughing .

"What are you laughing brat? You told her nothing about me Huh!" his mom scolded him .

Tara took out case she kept on table opened it had the same pair of earrings with a sapphire stone .

"There are just two sets of this design . The blue one was commercial, this one here is made of alexandrite stone It changes colour changes under different lighting conditions . If viewed in daylight, its colour is greenish blue to sapphire . If viewed in incandescent or candlelight its colour changes to pink and red .

This is a gift from me . I designed them for you and named them Tiara . If you have a baby girl I will make a

Tiny one for her too"

Tiara . . . Tara and Ira

Ira from lifetime knew this exclusive blue diamond was fought for at the auction . It had belonged to a famous celebrity . So she had premeditated to buy them to impress her mother in law .

The turn of events instead leads her dumbfounded .

Vivian was still laughing . . .

"Stop laughing! At least I have good taste" she said feeling embarrassed as gifting a designer her own design .

"See Mom I have always told you she is like you, not just your Name and taste are similar but look she even scolds me like you!"

"I can't believe you bought it . Now both of the pieces are in the family .

I loved your gift, Ira . " Tara said sincerely .

She forgot her list . They talked for hours ignoring Vivian . They've got a lot in common . She got comfortable around Tara helping her around cooking, serving .

When they were doing dishes

Tara advised her "I know you are struggling . Every woman is insecure when pregnant . At least I was when Viv was born his dad was never around . I felt pathetic and complained about carrying the whole burden of pregnancy on my own . I was unsure about the baby . But when I first saw him, heard his heartbeat .

You could say he became my flesh then . All my fears vanished replaced with hope . "

"It is a life you both build . You have to be responsible for it . That's what I always tell Viv . "
