Sawant cuddled the kid narrating his own thoughts to him.
" Some great woman left me on the stairs of this temple 25 years ago. I too cried like you that day. Then a man and his daughter came there like angels and took me with them. They gave me a very good mother. I grew up under her love and care. I got the best brother of this world. I got a best life partner too but this Ganesha snatched her from me. Don't believe this Ganesha " Sawant just kept on ranting.
The boy just watch Sawant with awe and smiled. Sawant's heart melted.
" Come with me dear one. You will also get a best mother there. You will get a family " He chuckled.
The baby curled up and snuggled into his warm embrace.
" You will be was sole companion" He pecked the kid's forehead and again jolted down the leftover alcohol from the bottle.
Mens of Iyer's family were all set leave for office. It was only Bhuvan who stayed back with his wife, who was extremely sad with Sawant's missing.
" Chikkamma don't worry please. I have asked all his friends to search for him. He will be back soon " Vachi tried to pacify Vaishnavi.
" You too search for him " Chitra adviced her son who was having his breakfast. Abhijith nodded.
" Bye Viranna, you could have joined me today " Abhijith smiled at Virat.
" What will I do there? I don't know anything. I will stay here. Have a good day " Virat smiled at Abhijith.
Abhijith took his bag to leave and looked around for his wife. He saw the ladies sending their husbands to office with smile but Vatsala was still lost in her thoughts. Abhijith just sighed and stepped out. This didn't went unnoticed by Virat. Tiara saw that too.
" Bro " The voice of Sawant startled Abhijith. He got down from his car in a hurry to see Sawant who was extremely drunken and trying his best to walk steadily.
" Sawant " Abhijith exclaimed and rushed towards his brother to help him to walk. Hearing to him Vaishnavi and Bhuvan rushed out along with Charita.
" I love you bro. You are my favourite. Don't leave me bro. I love you " Sawant talked senselessly and pecked Abhijith's cheek.
" Alright. Come inside " He said but his eyes caught the baby in Sawant's arm.
" What's this? " He asked.
Sawant bit his tongue and grinned.
" Attige... Oo Attige " He went inside in search of Vatsala, who hurried to see him.
" Sawant, what's all this? Are you alright?" Vatsala patted his cheeks and asked.
" Super fine, here you go " He said placing the baby in her arms.
Vatsala and Abhijith looked at each other. Both of them were puzzled.
" Another baby like me. I promised this little that I would give him a best mother like Vaishu Amma. So this kid will grow up in your care Attige" Sawant grinned.
