46. Chuckles & Cries

"Siddharth Fucking Nigam ! Come out right this instant!"

The startled man peeks out from the kitchen as he hears Avneet shouting his name out. He walks out of the kitchen and into the lounge hurriedly.

"Hahah Avni-"

"Don't Avni me! Tell me why would you that?", she asks angrily cutting the older who was nervously laughing.

The older scratches the nape of his neck. "See, if you talking about the incident that happened at the schoo-"

"Yes! I'm talking about the very one.", Avneet cuts him off sharply glaring at him.

What happened was- Siddharth was walking out of the playschool with Ishaan when a reporter basically attacked them in order to get a close up Ishaan's face.

Siddharth, obviously enraged, punched the shit out of him right there before the teachers called the police and Siddharth's hired driver cum bodyguard held him back from killing the man.

Avneet came running back as soon as she heard about the
incident from their manager who was trying to make sure the incident doesn't end up catching too much attention from the media.

Siddharth rolls his eyes. "Listen here Avneet, he hurt my son and I hurt him. There's no explaning to do.", he states as a matter of fact.

Avneet released a long sigh. "But that's not right. You're a singer sid, you can't punch someone like that in public."

"I'm a father too and that's my child, Avneet. How can you say this?", Siddharth asks angrily looking at Avneet as if she was stupid.

"I didn't mean it like that.", Avneet softly says and Siddharth huffs.

Avneet sighs as she runs a hand through her hair. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fuss this over it like that."

"I was just- scared... If something happens to Ishaan or even you... How-", she trails off softly.

Siddharth rests a hand on Avneet's shoulder and squeezes it assuringly.

"It's fine. Nothing is happening to us. I already sued him. He is gonna pay for what he did to my little boy.", he said, jaw clenched.

Avneet shakes her head. "It's okay, sid.", she says as she moves closer and rests her head on Siddharth's shoulder who without wasting a second wraps his arms around her waist, a small smile appearing on his face at the intimate action.

Avneet, still in the embrace, picks up Siddharth's right hand which was wrapped in a bandage. "See, you hurt your hand too.", she fusses again as she looks up to shoot an adorable glare at the older.

Siddharth chuckles as he frees
his hand from Avneet's hold and winds it around Avneet's back, squeezing her into his embrace. "It does not even hurt. You should've seen the face of that fucker." He smirks letting out a chuckle and Avneet slaps his chest lightly, small giggles leaving her mouth herself too.

"How was your recording?", Siddharth asked after a few seconds and Avneet pulls away from him, a pout already forming on her lips.

"It was okay.", she sighs, "I couldn't get some parts of the song. Parth told me to practice them again and we will do those parts tomorrow. That part was easy. I had practiced so much last night, still I couldn't do it. I don't know why I couldn't do that. It-"

"Hey, hey! Avneet. Stop." Siddharth cuts off Avneet's rambling. "It's totally alright. You can and you will do it tomorrow.", he says as he ruffles her hair.
