" mum I need a favor" kiraan burst into his parent's room not caring less about the word privacy he needed to get his idea out before he could forget " could you and dad take Kirti's parents for a week-long holiday and then ask them if kai and I could stay over so Kirti can watch over kai at their home so she would be more comfortable and ...."

" sweetheart breathe" his mother immediately cupped her son's face asking him to calm down " now explain slowly so I can decide what to do okay?" kiraan puffed his cheeks out as a slight tint covered them he knew he had to tell his mother everything if this was going to work " mum I like Kirti and ..." he never gets a chance to finish has his mother was already on her phone

"hey, Priti how are you? well, I am fine, I was wondering the boys have been talking about having a  vacation and I think now would be a good time. really? well that's great however I was wondering if Kirti could... oh really wow that's perfect then we can leave the day after tomorrow is that fine? okay great see you soon"

kiraan looked at his mother dumbfounded pulling her into a tight embrace " thanks mum" she chuckled lightly while patting her son's head " do not mess this up or I swear I will kill you myself" she growled out the last part.

"I promise mum I won't how did you even know?"

" it was so obvious raan, but remember to take it easy with her she has been through a lot and it took her a lot to let herself loose again hurt her and I doubt I will spare you"

"mummyyyyyy can we go see kitty I miss her" the little one gave a pout crossing his arms his speech had improved after talking a lot to her she seemed to break him out of his shell " baby you talk to her every night" at this kiraan grumbled under his breath wondering when that would be him

" mama please" giving his best puppy eyes and sticking out his bottom lip hoping he could get his way " guess what buddy we gonna spend a whole week with kitty isn't that great?" at this the two-year-old face lit up " really?" kiraan chuckled and nodded

"mam? there is someone at the door asking to see the young master?" kiraan gave his mother a questioning look " kitttyyyyy" kai screamed running towards the door.

Kirti picked up kai while he nuzzled his nose in her neck feeling safe " sorry aunt Raji I should have called first but I needed to give kai something" aunty Raji smiled while kiraan looked nervous

" hey kiraan" his head perked up at the mention of his name rolling so smoothly from her mouth she had a genuine yet shy smile plastered on her lips, clearing his throat he greeted her back noticing his mum amused face.

" kitty let's go to my room" shuffling around she placed him down. gripping her hand and dragging her away she brushed past kiraan and felt a tingle down her spine a very familiar tingle she could not seem to place where she had felt it before.

" you gonna catch flies if you keep staring at her like that"

"mmm" he groaned.

Raji shook her head making her way into the kitchen.

"she's right here"

"I know" kiraan smiled enjoying her scent that lingered in the lounge for a while.
