"The wedding function starts in two days, what are you doing with the paint?" Sanjana asked when she found Nikhil in the dance room he gave her, he was mixing up the paints on the colour pallet

"Something to get my mind off the video" he said and she sighed, she sighted, whatever happened yesterday three of them were not responding to anything until this morning they acted like nothing happened

"You talked to them?" She asked and he threw the brush and looked at her "I told them" Nikhil said and Sanjana squeezed her eyebrow

"About mom's pregnancy" her eyes widened and she wiped her mouth and gasped

"What did they say?" He shook his head "they are angry with me, after I said they didn't say anything and went to their room, this morning they didn't come for breakfast, I feel like shit!" He said and sat on the floor beside him keeping her bag at one side

"They need time to process Nik, they are in shock, they won't hate you for hiding it" she said caressing his cheeks, he didn't shave and the beard had grown

"Go to them, talk to them, if they lash out in anger hold it back don't argue" she said and he looked at her "sounds like a bad idea to me" he said and she shrugged

"I never said I am good at giving suggestions" she removed the scarf from her neck and put them around his neck

"What's this for?" He asked "it's cold and you are roaming in this white baniyan" she said and sat looking at the paint

"Don't worry I don't catch a cold like you do-" as soon as he said that she sneezed and he laughed pulling her nose

"What were you trying to paint" she said looking at the plain white wall "maybe a cherry blossom tree" she gave him an impressive look

"You know painting?" He asked and she nodded happily "I used to do a lot back then when I was in school and college" he smiled taking a brush and pink paint starting with the leafs

"Why not now?" He asked "Simply! I just didn't have the mood to do it again, I still have the painting and canvas but I am too lazy to paint" she said taking another brush and followed what he was doing

"What else are you good at?" He asked "drawing, painting, crafting, sleeping, reading, eating etc etc" she said and he chuckled

Suddenly Sanjana backed off with her brush and sat back and looked at the brush

"What happened?" He asked and she shook her head "continue, I will watch you doing it, I am not getting how to paint the leaf" she said and he looked at the part she did, it was a bit off shape but it looked totally good to him

"It's good continue" he said and she shook her head "you continue" she said and he shrugged and continued it, Sanjana sighted and kept the brush aside and looked at him painting carefully

They did talk, sat in the silence while he paints, he finished the leaf and then the branch and painted a whole damn tree in a hour, looking at his speed she was shocked, she use to take 4 hours atleast to do on canvas
