Having growing toddlers in the house and working was difficult but Advika had argued with Vishal over this that if she stayed home all the time she would go crazy running behind the kids.

Advika was never bound by anything, she always did what she wanted and she hated being bounded and dependant.

When the kids were just 2 year olds, she had announced to their family and Vishal that she would like to work as a psychologist and therapist; they were stunned.

Advika had done her PHd while she was at home since her days of pregnancy. She wanted something productive to do and hence got her PHd. done in that 3 years and now wanted to gain work experience in that field.

Vishal didn't know how to take this news and he didn't fancy the idea of any of the parents not being with the kids.

"Vishal I already told you you cannot control me like this!", Advika said coldly.

"So what am I supposed to do? How are we gonna do this? I don't want the kids to be left with nannies or caretakers I am warning you!", Vishal was getting impatient and furious by every minute as he was trying to control his anger but Advika wasn't listening to him at all.

"We could leave them with our parents! They would be more than happy to take care of them while we are away and it's not like I'll be away for 12 hours everyday like you! And what will you do if I get back to acting huh? I'll have to spend days away! Are you ready for that?", Advika snapped at him.

"Oh please you're not doing anything like that! And what do you want ? You want me to leave all my work and sit at home?", He asked sarcastically.

"Exactly see! You expect that I wouldn't want you to leave your work and sit at home they why the fuck do you expect me to do that!?", Advika caught him in his own trap and he knew it!

"Advika enough of this, I have my shoots tomorrow and I am in no mood to take your shit right now!", Vishal dimissed the conversation but she wasn't finished yet.

"Yeah great walk away! This is the only thing that you can do, walk away from conversations and problems!", She knew this was going to be a pinch to his ego and atleast he would continue the conversation after this.

"Please shut the fuck up okay!", Vishal snapped back at her when they heard the door creak open.

Anish peeped inside their room in his comfy night clothes. He pushed the door ajar with his small hands and walked upto Advika latching himself to her leg.

She lifted him up and he rested his head on her shoulder.

"Baby? Can't sleep?", she asked him.

"Why was dad shouting at you?", he asked her softly and Vishal looked at her and she looked away.

"Dad wasn't shouting at me he was just angry over work okay, let's get you to bed now come!", She took him to their room where
Vaishnavi was already sleeping and she put Anish to bed too.

Vishal didn't bother to check on them and went to bed. That night, after everyone slept Advika left the house to clear her head.
