Anushka's anger turned into guilt. Her heart went out to him when she realised that he did all these to shelter her. She wiped her tears and put up a smile on her face , before entering ino the room.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Arey beta aao, baitho. I thought you slept already" his mom invited her to sit . Virat wiped his face on his sleeves.

"Mein aata hun" he muttered to his mom and walked out of the room turning to the other side. he went out without making eye contact with Anushka. She didn't say anything.

"How's your shooting going?" Mom asked to her with a smile.

"It's over maa. Now I'm going to sign a new one. I had just got a call now, that's why I didn't come here" she said holding her hand.

"Aur, Aap theek ho na ?" She asked back.

"Haan beta. You both stay happy, I'll be good. May god bless you with all the strength to overcome your problems" she said caressing her face. Anushka looked down, she knew exactly what she meant by that.

"Ab jaao, so jaao. It's late" mom said pointing to the clock.

Anushka went to the room and saw Virat laying on the bed and Ved had woke up. He was also playing on the bed. Ved was trying to climb on top of Virat.

Virat helped him sit on top of his stomach. He was holding Ved carefully so that he doesn't fall from him. Ved then climbed on his chest and sat with his legs on either side of his neck. He started playing with Virat's beard.

Anushka came and sat beside them. She called Ved to her arms. But he was denying. He started bouncing on Virat's chest and patted on his face .

"Ved, don't do that baby" Virat said softly moving his hands away. But he found it funny. He again started hitting him on his face.

"Ved..., mat Karo aise" Anushka said in a warning tone. She could see Virat was getting a bit annoyed. He laughed again and hit a bit harder , right on his face.

"VED!" Virat shouted and clutched his hands tightly. Ved jumped in shock, Anushka too was startled by his voice.

"Virat..? Bachha hai wo.. araam se" she removed the hand and carried him from Virat's body.

Ved's eyes welled up and he burst out in tears. He started screaming and crying loudly. He was sobbing in Anushka's arms. She patted him and tried to pacify him.

Normally Virat wouldn't have reacted like this. Ved was so close to him, he felt extremely guilty on shouting at the child. He was just too annoyed by everything.

Now he was getting irritated by the screaming noise, his head was throbbing. He went and stood in the balcony. Balcony had become his favourite place to run away from the world.

When he no longer heard any cries, he went inside. He saw Ved sleeping in the cradle, he went there and caressed his delicate wrists and kissed it.

Anushka was glaring at him from the bed. He again turned away his gaze and laid on the bed.

"You can't shout at him like that, he's not old enough to understand Virat. How did you hold his hands like- " Anushka blurted out before he interrupted.

"I'm sorry" he said it almost instantly as if he wanted to close the conversation then and there.
