Arvind was sitting in the swing in backyard. He's worried about his son. Arvind can see arjun is stressed about something and he's not even sharing it to him. He asked aman if there is any problem in office but his reply only made him worried more as Aman said arjun cancelled a lot meetings in past two days and yelling at everyone. Firing people for a small mistake . Arvind could see Ridhima is hiding something from him as well. Her expressions, her sad eyes even when she try to show her fake smile everytime their eyes meet he can see that. What can I say parents eyes are powerful than eagle's. With a sigh arvind walks to his room, determined to ask arjun after the dinner.
" I'm not repeating again. If you skip today's dinner I'm moving out from here. Mark my words young man I'm not joking. " With a huff Nancy Walk back to kitchen leaving bewildered arjun and Ridhima .
When Arjun avoided his breakfast and lunch the day after his conversation with with Sanjay Nancy understood something was wrong. She directly went to Ridhima and asked about it. Ridhima confessed everything happened in the room. Nancy felt really bad for arvind and she also understood why Arjun is reacting like this. Its not going to easy for him to accept everything now he knows the love interest of his father is still single and always met him making him go crazy. Nancy kept quiet whenever arjun said he's not hungry or he will have it in his room. But today she lost her patience she could see arvind is dying to talk with arjun but the said guy finding every excuses to avoid him. And because of arjun even arvind skipping his meals . So she decided to bring arjun for dinner today. He has to come out from his nest it may hurt him to bring Swetha and no one forcing him as well but in the process he's hurting arvind... Who always wanted the love of his son .
" Arjun baby... Please listen to me Even papa is worried about you. I didn't want to make you feel bad but papa is skipping his meals as well. Please try t....
Arjun yelled before she can complete her sentence.
" Dad is skipping his meals. You should have informed me about it Ridhima. " He said walking out, didn't like the fact his wife hide it from him.
Ridhima knows she should have informed about it to arjun but he wasn't ready to talk. She even took food to Arvind's room but he said he's not hungry. When she kept the meal there ask him to have it when he's hungry she saw the meal was untouched even after hours. With a sigh she walks out of their room knowing her husband must be waiting at staircase, not because he doesn't want to go down alone but fighting with his inner demons. Questioning if he should go there.
As expected arjun was standing at staircase fiddling his fingers. She walks to him and hold his hands with another hand rub his shoulder.
" Don't worry I'm with you! " That's all arjun needed before walking down to the dinner room.
Arjun didn't look up at arvind even when he felt him staring at him. Nancy sighed dejectedly.
Arvind bite his lips hardly to stop asking anything during the dinner. Arjun quickly ate the dinner before saying good night to everyone and dashed to his room.
Ridhima stayed back seeing arvind following arjun.
" This boy, why he's behaving like five. " Nancy sighed taking seat beside Ridhima.
" Do you think they would sort it out"
" Of course aur koi choice hai? Anyway let's go to the living room and watch TV till they comeback.."
" No..." James protested
" And why old man..."
" I am sleepy..." James says yawning in between,
" And who's stopping you. Go and sleep.."
' but... how can I sleep without you. " Nancy's cheeks turned crimson red she smacked her husband's shoulder,
" Shameless..."
" Oww baby... " He whined following Nancy to living room.
" Don't..." Nancy hissed seeing Ridhima giving her teasing smile.
" Oh god!! " Nancy exclaims when her husband lay down on the sofa keeping his head on Nancy's lap. Ridhima burst into laughter seeing their cuteness.
