Chapter Seventeen
Kripa frowned feeding Abhi the last of his crocodiles. She knew it seemed a little pathetic to be mad at her boss but she was. How could Aditya just tell Angad to find himself another place? Here she was trying to help Angad bond with the family and Aditya did nothing to help. He contradicted her actions which only drifted them further.
She bit down on her lip worried for Angad. She wanted to be with him, consoling him instead of letting him drop tears in silence. The last time was still fresh in her mind. He had cried like a baby in her arms and she felt right soothing him. She felt it was her duty to be there when he needed her but the tingling sensations had still not left her body. She could still feel his touch, the current he left in her body. She's hugged so many friends of hers but never got such a sensation. Was she really falling for Angad? She questioned herself.
She sighed and shook her head for the wrong thoughts. She was supposed to think where he could be. Then he clicked, oh, he might just be at the park. She wiped Abhi's mouth and instructed "Go wash your hands and face. We're going to the park"
Abhi and Ayush yelped in excitement climbing off the chairs. They ran towards the Stairs to collect their coat and shoes "Boys" Kripa called after them "Wash your hands and face" but as always her protests fell to deaf ears. She ran behind them completing her orders herself as the boys impatiently struggled in excitement.
Once the two devils were ready she walked down the stairs hand in hand with them. She found Aditya sitting on the sofa adjacent to the stairs with his head buried in his hands. Her jaws tightened with anger. She walked towards him and informed coldly "I'm taking the kids to the park. I'll drop them back in an hour" and she left through the door hoping to find Angad at the park.
"Careful" Kripa said catching Abhi. He was sliding down the slide perilously, jumping and running about "Don't run, it's dangerous"
"I'm not" he said running out of her hold, going towards the swings.
Kripa sighed; the boy was hyperactive now that he opened up. She smiled to herself remembering her first meeting with them. They both so sweet and such good boys and now they were devils. Her thoughts were interrupted by a tug on her coat. She looked down to find Ayush "What's wrong?" She asked
Ayush pointed towards a distant bench "Angad uncles there"
Kripa looked up relieved to find Angad but anxious seeing him cry "Look after your brother Ayush, I'll be back"
"What happened in the other room?" he asked
Kripa bent to his length "whatever happened wasn't good. Angad needs me right now. Go look after your brother. He's going to fall if he's left alone"
"Ok" he walked towards Abhi and looked back at Kripa walking toward Angad. He liked Kripa aunty. She solved every problem they had. He was sure she would solve their small disordered family soon.
"Angad" Kripa called sitting on the bench beside him.
Angad looked up from his hands "Kripa" he whispered and pulled her into his arms "He'll never understand me Kripa, never" he spoke between sobs "he only cares for his wife, no one else"
Kripa rubbed his back, holding his head in the curve of her neck "It's alright Angad. Don't cry"
"I was right Kripa. He hates me. He's hated me since that woman's come to our life" he tightened his embrace "She destroyed everything. She snatched my family from me"
"Don't think about it Angad, think of the good in your life" she consoled stroking his hair
"I have nothing Kripa" he cried "I have no one"
She held his head letting him cry his heart out. Once she felt he was calm she rubbed her cheek to his head "What am I here for Angad? Aren't I good enough for you" she teased trying to lighten the mood
Angad sniffed and pulled out of her embrace. He rubbed his swollen eyes, then his face "you're the best thing that ever happened to me" he confessed. Held her hands "but I blame you for this"
"Me?" she said confused "what have I done?"
His lips slightly curved "look me Kripa. I never cried for these things before. You've changed me. I'm not the man you met first"
Kripa smiled "and I like this change. I don't want you changing. You might have not cried before but you still had a lot of pain trapped in there" she said tapping his chest "you should be grateful I listen to all the stuff you say when you cry"
He frowned "so you mean you don't like to listen to me?"
Kripa grinned "think what you want. It's the way you interpret Angad, not what I mean"
Angad sighed "you and your logic" he tapped her head "I'm sorry" he apologized wiping his wet cheeks "I cried like a baby"
"Hey" she took his hand "I'm here for you so you can cry. You should cry. It's a good thing" she spoke "sometimes you feel devastated keeping the pain in your heart. Don't keep it inside, let it out. It'll make you feel better"
He smiled "you have an answer for everything. Why couldn't my brother find someone like you instead of that woman" he growled
"It was fate Angad and you never know, what you think of Sanya may be false" she murmured eyeing him carefully
"It isn't false" he retorted "she only came into my life to snatch everything from me. First she took my parents away then my brother. Soon she'll have the whole world against me"
"Ok, ok, calm down" Kripa held his cheek "you might be right Angad but don't decide on what you've seen. Learn to think positively"
Angad looked at Kripa with hurt "you believe her over me, don't you?"
"I didn't say that. I believe what I see Angad and where I see from, there's just a big misunderstanding" she spoke truthfully "don't take me wrong Angad but it's not important that two friends think alike. You're an insider Angad. I'm not, I'm an outsider. I can see both sides of the problem. You're being biased "
"You've seen everything from the outside Kripa that's why you can't see the truth. I've seen everything happen in front of my eyes for almost nine years now. Things changed after her emergence. I can't ignore that, can I?"
Kripa blew a sigh "your not going to listen to me are you?" Angad looked away "fine. Don't but quit with the frown will you? You look better smiling"
The corners of his lips crept up forming a smile. He pulled his arms forward "can I have a hug? I really need one"
Kripa scrunched her nose then laughed at his cute request engulfing herself in his arms. Her arms circled his waist as she rested her cheek on his broad shoulder. The tingling sensations came to her again. She closed her eyes tightly trying to push the feeling away but it was of no use, it just increased "Angad" she called
"Hmm" he asked lost in her fragrant hair "yeah"
"What do you wear?" she asked fiddling with the material of his coat
"Huh" he pulled her apart baffled "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked eyebrows rose
"Oh" she bit down on her lips "umm, you see whenever I" she paused "forget it, it's just stupid"
"No, tell me. I want to know why you asked me such a weird question" he demanded
"It's weird Angad so just leave it. You'll just think I'm stupid" she protested
"Oh come on, I won't. I want to know what you meant by what I wear"
"Well" she started "whenever you hug me I feel weird" she explained
"Oh" he frowned "you mean you don't like it"
"No, it's not that. I just feel this weird ticklish kind of feel, a tingling sensation and just something strange" Angad grinned while she looked away flushed "I told you it's stupid" she mumbled fiddling with her fingers
Angad pinched her pink cheeks "I think Armaan and Ridhimaa might just be right about us" her eyes met his "I might just be your headless groom" he whispered huskily
Kripa frowned and punched his chest "bad joke. I don't need you teasing me now. I have enough already"
He chuckled and pulled her into his arms, blocking her protesting arms "How did you know I was here?" he questioned looking into her dark eyes.
"Oh I didn't" she teased "I bought the kids to the park and saw you"
"Oh" he looked disappointed "I thought you would have known"
She pulled herself upwards kissing his cheeks "I was planning to bring the kids anyways. I had an idea you would be here. You use to come here before we were friends, didn't you?"
"How do you know that?" he asked curiously
She smirked "I have my own ways" she patted his cheek "now let me go, I need to check on the kids" she spoke pulling out of his arms
He tightened his arms around her "you sure it's not the tingling sensation?" he asked mischievously
Kripa rolled her eyes and pushed him onto the bench. She stood up looking back "you coming?" she asked extending her hand.
He smiled and took her hand walking towards the children. Angad smiled to himself thinking how easily Kripa had confessed what she felt. He'd never be able to be as bold as her. He was strong and tough on the exterior but just as weak on the interior. Her touch was just as effective for him. He felt heat rush inside; sending unknown messages to his heart. His heart leaped at her touch. She was the woman that made a difference to him. If he didn't see her he felt restlessness creep him. At first it was his need of her friendship but now the feeling was different, now it was something else, something unknown to him. He shook his head and pulled Abhi to his feet, lifting him to his arms. He had to stop thinking of her like that. It wasn't right he told himself.
Kripa laughed listening to the humorous incidents of Ridhimaa's married life. She had been married for almost six weeks now and she had enough memories for a lifetime "It's not funny" Ridhimaa said throwing a cushion at Kripa.
"Sorry" Kripa spoke between chuckles "I can't believe Armaan could get desperate enough to go to the girl's toilets"
Ridhimaa heaved "I know. I'm surprised he let me come here alone. He's been on my tail for the past two weeks" she said leaning into the sofa
"I know you like it" Kripa teased "you should just see yourself in front of Armaan, all flushed and red" she said catching another cushion from Ridhimaa.
"Yeah yeah, you'll know how embarrassing it is when your husband does that kind of stuff to you" she teased "How's your headless groom doing then?"
Kripa glared at Ridhimaa "will you stop teasing me about him?" she said irritated "I have no idea how he is. He hasn't come for two days"
"Oh" Ridhimaa looked at her mischievously "so? You miss him?"
This time Kripa threw the cushion "you are so evil" she hugged the other cushion to her chest "it's not him coming Ridhimaa. I'm worried about him. He's been upset for the past few days. I know he just acts like his happy and all but I can see through him"
"Sweet" Ridhimaa commented "you're progressing with the headless groom thing. Great, I hope to see you where I am soon" she kidded
Kripa pouted and groaned "are you going to listen to me or not?" she asked annoyed
"Ok, ok, I'll listen" she spoke "I'm just trying to get you fixed"
"Which I'm not exactly thinking about right now"
"Yeah, yeah. I can tell" Ridhimaa replied "now what were you saying?"
"I was saying that Angad's upset. He's trying to hide his pain away so he doesn't appear weak in front of me. I know him. He wants to be the strong tough guy in front of me. He's always tried to keep me under that impression but I know he's disturbed"
Ridhimaa smiled at the familiar understanding. She walked towards Kripa, sitting beside her "he'll be fine Kripa, as long as your with him he'll be just right. I know you'll never leave his side. I can see it"
Kripa looked at Ridhimaa curiously "you're not teasing me are you?"
Ridhimaa giggled and pinched her cheeks "I'm not. I'm just telling you what I know of you"
Kripa rubbed her red cheeks "what is it with everyone pulling my cheek?" she mumbled while Ridhimaa stared at her with a humorous glint.
Kripa knocked on the rich wooden door "May I come in?" she asked
Aditya looked towards the door immediately placing his files on to the desk "Come in Miss Sharma"
Kripa walked inside taking a seat in front of Aditya "Why did you call me?" she asked, the coldness still rooted in her voice.
Aditya looked at her hesitantly "I know this is something not to be discussed in an office but I couldn't think of a better place" he cleared his throat feeling discomfort creep in him "you see, I wanted to know what you meant that day? I mean to say. Do you know why Angad is so distant?"
"Oh I see" Kripa spoke "and what will you do about it Mr Khanna" she replied derisively "will you just leave your wife to a side and give all your attention to Angad or will you just ignore him the way you have all these years"
Aditya frowned at the sardonic tone but chose to keep silent. If he wanted to know what had gone wrong then he would have to listen to everything "What do you mean?" he asked curiously
"I've promised my friend not to tell anyone but I'm telling you because you're the cause to his problems Mr Khanna" she started "you forgot he ever existed in your life. You were too self absorbed into your own life. And to how I see it, it's actually you who is responsible for both your wife's and Angad's condition today" she clenched her fists to calm her nerves "Look Mr Khanna, all I can tell you is that you've been unfair to Angad these many years. When Mrs Khanna came into your life you forgot you had a brother. Do you know how neglected Angad felt all these years? Before he had his parents to tell him what was right and what was wrong. After their death it was your responsibility to tell him, to give him the attention he needed but you didn't. You concentrated on your wife more. I understand she is special to you. She's your better half but Angad needed your attention as well. You were too attentive towards your wife" she swallowed a lump in her throat "I've seen him cry Mr Khanna. You might have seen him cry when he was younger but you've never seen him cry now. It's because you haven't given him the concern he deserved, the care he was entitled to. You've given your wife so much importance that you've given her Angad's space as well. You know better than me how much a man needs a father figure when they grow up. I agree Angad was big enough at the time of your parent's death but he was the youngest as well Mr Khanna. It was a critical time for him but even then you were too busy fussing over your wife" she sighed and bit down on her lip to stop her blabbering. She knew if she didn't stop now then she would just go on and on until she said something seriously offending "I have nothing against your wife Mr Khanna but your unequal attention has caused this distance between your family. You've never understood Angad properly. You taunted him for being bad with your children as well" Aditya was a little surprised as well as guilty taking in all her knowledge of the past incidents "He wasn't being bad Mr Khanna. He was playing with them. He talks to your children just fine. There his nephews for him, not your son's. He's locked you away from his heart because you misunderstand everything he does. Because of your ignorance he has mistaken Mrs Khanna to be the culprit of this entire mess and both of us know it's not her" she pushed her hair back and advised "Fix things before its too late Mr Khanna. He was hurt when you decided to throw him out. You were wrong then. Don't repeat the mistake" she hoisted the purse onto her shoulder and stood up "anything else Mr Khanna" he shook his head looking down feeling ever so gullible "Remember my words Mr Khanna, I'd like to see Angad smile from the bottom of his heart" she said before she ambled out leaving Aditya in a turmoil of thoughts.
He held his head in his hands recalling every moment he could have spent with his brother. Now that he was told, he realized his uneven attention. Angad wasn't wrong for hating him all these years. It was his fault. He was the one to blame. Sanya was caught between the horrible illness of Identity disorder because of him. He was responsible for the entire mess. Tears slipped out of his eyes, staining his clear glasses. It was him from the start. His wife was accused because of him. His brother drifted away because of him. His children were neglected all these years because of him. Sanya suffered split personality because of him. It was only his fault. There was no one else to blame. He set his tear stained glasses aside and rubbed his eyes. He was going to fix the mess he created. It was his fault from the very start so it was his responsibility to fix everything and he'd do by hook or by crook.
Kripa sat waiting for Anjali at the caf sipping on the icy guava juice. She found it quite strange that Anjali wanted to meet her. Of course she had met her many times before but she was accompanied by someone. Today Anjali had told her to come specifically alone. It was weird really but it must have been something important "Hey" she greeted when she caught sight of Anjali
"Hi" she answered "sorry I'm late, got stuck with a client"
Kripa blinked her eyes "it's alright. Why did you call me?"
"Well, it's related to Mrs Khanna's case. I need some information from you Kripa"
"Me?" she asked mystified "how can I help?"
"You can Kripa. I might be able to bring improve her condition if I can answer her questions. But I can't. I'm clueless about the whole matter. I asked Mr Khanna but he was clueless himself"
Kripa looked at Anjali curiously "why are you asking me Anjali? I've only known the family for eleven months"
"And eleven months are enough for someone like you Kripa" she pointed "I've seen and analyzed how close you are to each family member"
"Which member are you pointing at Anjali?" Kripa questioned uncomfortably
She sighed "Angad" Kripa frowned disapprovingly "he's the one I need to know about"
"Listen Anjali, you're a very good friend of mine but whatever I know about Angad is between me and him and maybe his family as well but I can't break his trust all the time. I understand if his family wants to know but we're outsiders. I wouldn't want to break his trust telling everyone his problem"
"Oh come on Kripa" Anjali retaliated "it's for the case. I assure you the information will remain confidential"
"I trust you Anjali but Angad trusts me as well. I can't break his trust" she reasoned
"I'm not telling you to break his trust. Just tell me as a Practitioner. It's for Mrs Khanna"
"I'm sorry Anjali" she apologized "I can't. It doesn't matter if you're a practitioner or not. I just can't break his trust"
"Cant you tell me anything briefly?"
"All I can tell you is what you've seen Anjali" she shrugged "I won't feel good at all telling you something he's told me with so much trust"
"Would he be willing to talk to me?"
"I don't really think so? Especially since you're treating Sanya, he dislikes Sanya and he'll dislike you for treating her but you can try"
"I guess. I really need to know some answers. Sanya is getting out of hand. The therapy will only work if every member of the household responds positively but your friend, Angad seems to show negative vibes all the time" she mocked
"It's not his fault" Kripa defended "He's just like that"
Anjali raised a brow "Are you two really just friends?"
"Huh" Kripa looked away flushed "Yeah, of course we are. Why do you ask?" she asked hesitantly
"Oh nothing except for the fact that your defending him in every way possible"
"Oh" Kripa pursed her lips "isn't that what friends are meant to do?"
"Yes, but you just seem to have gone to the next step" Anjali teased
"No, it's nothing like that. We're just friends" she rolled her eyes at Anjali's curious gaze "I'm telling the truth"
"As you say" Anjali shrugged her shoulders pressing her pounding head
"Anjali, If I have your permission I can talk to Sanya" Anjali looked at her bewildered "I mean, I can tell her briefly, not in too much detail. I'll only tell her the necessary points"
Anjali looked at her interestingly "I'll think about it. I have to make sure it's safe enough first"
"Take your time" Kripa spoke slurping the thick juice
"Come on Angad" Kripa whined "it's only a game"
"It's too kiddish Kripa" he protested
"It's meant to be" she shrugged "remember, we're playing with kids here. Besides it's a good memory game"
"I know but--" he blew a sigh and said "fine, I'm with Ayush then. You can be with Abhi"
"Fine with me" she spoke taking Abhi into her lap "we'll start" she giggled watching Angad roll his eyes "I'm sure you've still got a good memory" she teased
"And if not then I'm here uncle" Ayush added
Angad hit his head lightly "are you on her team or mine?"
Ayush and Kripa laughed while Angad frowned "Ok, let's start. I went to the Shop and bought an apple" she looked at Angad mischievously "your turn"
Angad sighed and spoke "I went to the shop and bought an apple and a banana" he looked towards Kripa who still seemed to grin. His frown deepened.
"I went to the shop and bought an apple, banana and a carrot" Abhi continued
Soon enough the game hit concentration levels with them thinking "I went to the shop and bought an apple, banana, carrot, doughnut, egg, fish, Garlic, Uhh what comes after G again" Angad spoke scratching his head
"H" Ayush offered
"Oh yeah, umm Honey and Ice" he spoke grinning
"That's wrong" Kripa protested
"No it's not" Angad argued "It's perfectly fine"
"First of all Ayush told you the next letter and secondly Ice isn't food"
"So" Angad defended "Me and Ayush are a team. We're allowed to help each other and Ice is used in some food"
"It's not used in food, it's used in drinks and it still doesn't come under a food category"
"Food and drink is the same thing" he reasoned
"Grow up Angad. You're cheating" she whined
"I'm not" defended "Ice is just fine"
"We win if you don't change it"
Angad muttered under his breath starting the sequence again whilst Kripa and Abhi chuckled watching their opponents. Angad made several mistakes with Ayush covering up for him many times. The game went quite well and by the end they all lay on the carpeted floor falling asleep. Abhi lay on Angad's chest while Ayush clung to his side. Kripa watched the three sleep adorably. They looked so cute, picture perfect. She pulled her mobile out and took a picture then bought cushions and pillows to adorn them for the night. She kissed Ayush and Abhi's cheeks, pausing before kissing Angad. She looked down at his masculine face. He looked wonderful with his parted mouth, it was cute. She pressed her lips to his unshaved cheek and left the nephews and uncle to sleep on the carpet heading to her room.
She leaned back on the soft bed thinking about their night. She had bought Ayush and Abhi along for a weekend and after session of persuading Angad he had also come for an evening which had turned into a night with their small games. They played several memory games, testing Angad's memory, teasing him. They had their wonderful moments where Angad frowned as she, Ayush and Abhi teased him. He could be such a baby at times but it was sweet and family like.
He was still affected by his brother's behavior. He didn't let it out of mind. Angad hadn't talked to his brother since then. The incident of two weeks ago was still fresh in his mind and quite unforgettable. She knew he was not talking to his brother because of her. It made her feel guilty but it was for the good. He didn't want to talk to him because he knew he's end up arguing and he didn't want to argue in front of Ayush and Abhi. He cared for the two and it gave Kripa a sense of pride watching him care for the two. If he didn't have his brother he still had his nephews there for him.
She touched her face smiling to herself, he was growing on her. Ridhimaa's teasing and Anjali's suspicions were not wrong. It was right. She was attracted to him but he was a friend. She didn't want to destroy their beautiful friendship with the attraction she was feeling. She loved her friend for what he was. He was a little high tempered and bold on the exterior but in the interior he was like a small child craving for love and friendship. He had hidden his true self from the world long enough letting his external personality take over. She pursed her lips and closed her eyes wishing he would be just as good with his brother as he was with his nephews.
"Armaan I need a favor from you" Kripa murmured
Armaan raised a brow "anything serious" he asked taking a cracker from the plate
"Well yeah, I need you to talk to Angad"
Armaan looked at her mischievously "Awww, are you to scared to confess your love"
"Armaan" she whined crossing her arms "I'm serious here"
"So am I?" he got up and sat next to her "when are you going confess?" he questioned eagerly
"Confess for what?" she said turning red
"Oh come on Kripa. We can all see the attraction between the two of you. I'm talking about your headless groom"
"I'm going if you're going to start with the teasing" she started to stand
Armaan pulled her arm "you're staying" he took another cracker from the plate "what were you saying?" he asked
"Your not going to tease me are you?" she asked before continuing
Armaan pursed his lips to suppress the creeping the smile "no, go ahead"
Kripa looked at him curiously but continued "I was saying that I want you talk to Angad. He's kind of upset and I think it's better if you talk to him. You know like a man talk" she said a little embarrassed "he might be able to tell you openly. He needs someone to talk to and I know it's not me" she paused "its more like he needs some brotherly affection" she added "He's not on good terms with his brother so I thought maybe you could help"
Armaan smiled "I'll help Kripa. He's not just your friend, he's mine too" he leaned back "and just so that you know, you're not going to know a single word we say"
She frowned "Why's that?"
"I have my own reasons" he winked
Kripa rolled her eyes and turned her attention towards the smell of the brewing coffee in the kitchen. Minutes later Ridhimaa walked out of the kitchen with three mugs of coffee and more crackers. Armaan jumped on her taking the crackers as well stealing a sweet kiss. Ridhimaa glared at him while he simply grinned "So how's your mission going?" Ridhimaa asked "anything improvements"
"There are" Kripa smiled "but there's still a lot more that needs to be improved"
"What mission is this?" Armaan asked mouthful
"Armaan" Ridhimaa scolded "close your mouth. It's bad manners to eat open mouth"
"So" he shrugged "it's not like I'm offending anyone"
Ridhimaa crossed her arms looking at him with annoyance "well your offending me and Kripa"
"I know you and Kripa won't take it too bad" he grinned stuffing more crackers into his mouth "beside, I've kissed you so many times like this" he winked
"Armaan" Ridhimaa mumbled turning a shade of red while Kripa laughed along with Armaan watching Ridhimaa turn a darker shade by the minute.
"She is getting naughtier by the day" Sanjeeda complained taking the ball out of Hayaa's hands
Kripa moved forward tickling Hayaa to help Sanjeeda "It's cute though, you have to admit"
"It is but its extra work for me" she pulled Hayaa's bag in front of her "Amir is no less. He comes home tired then Hayaa makes the worlds noise not letting him sleep and then he gets cranky. He never thinks what a hard job Hayaa is. I'm with her all the time and he still complains that Hayaa doesn't let him sleep" she muttered stuffing the bag
"Drop her down like you are today if she gets too noisy, I'll keep her. I don't mind" Kripa said taking Hayaa in her lap
"It's easy to say Kripa but she really is a hard job, even harder than angel in heyy baby. I just hope she's not like any of those many kids in Vah …life ho to aisi. I don't know how Shahid handled so many kids, Hayaa's already a nightmare for me"
Kripa giggled at her filmy logic "Its fine Sanjeeda. I'll look after her. You go and enjoy the party"
"Yeah I guess" she handled the bag to Kripa "I'll be back by nine. If I'm late then please put her to sleep otherwise she won't sleep and disturb us all night"
Kripa smiled "I'm here Sanjeeda. I'll take care of everything"
"Thanks" she kissed Hayaa's cheek "I'll see you tonight; Amir's waiting for me downstairs" she walked towards the door opening the door to Aditya Khanna. She smiled slightly and left after bidding goodbye.
Kripa looked at Aditya questionably escorting him inside. She placed Hayaa on the floor and spoke "Can I help you Mr Khanna?"
He looked at her uncomfortably "I want your help" he answered. She looked at him in puzzlement "I want you to help me get on good terms with Angad"
Her lips lifted into a smile "Really?" she asked in delight
Aditya nodded "I realized I've been very unfair to Angad. I want another chance. I'm responsible for all this so it's my responsibility to fix it. But I'm clueless. I don't know where to start Kripa. I want your help" he looked at her earnestly "I know you're the one I can trust, you can help me"
"I'll help you Mr Khanna as long as your intentions are right and you don't hurt Angad again. If you hurt him again then I won't help. You've caused him a lot of pain. He's still upset with the incident of three weeks back" she informed taking hold of Hayaa who crawled towards the kitchen
"I know" he said soberly "he isn't talking to me and it hurts knowing its all my fault" he looked up "I feel so low now that I know it was my fault"
"Everything will be fine Mr Khanna. You just have to give him your attention and I don't mean you give him all your attention. You wouldn't want to neglect your children and your wife. There important as well. You just have to make him realize you still love him. Ayush and Abhi will be great help for you. Angad has bonded with them very well. He won't refuse them" she hinted and smiled reassuring Aditya of being the family they were nine years ago.
