Come Fall in Love over A CUP OF COFFEE ✔️ (COMPLETED)

HAPPY FAMILY

Later in the evening, Ved and Aditya left for work together. This time, Ved packed dinner with him. Natasha had said Nihal eats only healthy food while at home and, so he had gotten accordingly. But also, a small pizza, he will give it to him when Natasha isn't looking.

Aditya parked his car in the parking lot of the building and turned his head to look at Ved, - 'Are you okay, man?' He asked concerned.

Ved sighed nodding and unbuckled his seat belt. 'Come.' He said and climbed down the car. Aditya watched him for few seconds before getting down the car as well.

As soon as they rang the door-bell they heard hurried footsteps and a kid's excited voice. Ved and Aditya smiled at each other.

'Ved!' Nihal gushed on seeing him. He almost leaped to hug him but stopped himself at the right moment. Ved smiled at him.

'How are you?' He asked as they entered the apartment.

'Good. And you?' The kid asked.

'Better.' Ved replied ruffling the kid's hair. Nihal smiled.

'Ved.' Asha came into the living room and hugged Ved. There was slight awkwardness between Asha and Aditya. But Ved chose to ignore that and looked around for Natasha.

'Mom is in the kitchen. Come,' – Nihal held Ved's hand, - 'I will take you.' He tugged on his arm but before he could drag him away, Aditya interrupted.

'Arey, Beta. Last time you didn't show me your toy collection. Please, show me.' He said. Nihal immediately lets go of Ved's hand and grabbed Aditya's hand.

Ved looked gratefully at Aditya. Asha pointed towards the kitchen and hurried with the boys.

Ved checked his breath as he approached the kitchen, he peeped and found Natasha by the counter. She was arranging the Salad. Ved glanced back and on seeing the coast clear, he tiptoed inside.

Natasha is startled when he held her waist.

'Hey, beautiful.' He whispered nuzzling his face into her hair. He sniffed taking in the tantalizing smell of her shampoo. Natasha smiled and placed her palms over his. She moved his hand and turned to look at him.

'Hey, Handsome.' She replied placing her palms on his chest. Ved admired her as she leaned against the kitchen slab, her fingers playing with the top button of his shirt. Ved noticed her expressions turn into a serious one.

'How are you feeling now, Ved?' She asked concerned. Ved frowned not understanding her. She sighed, - 'I heard about your parents. I am sorry to hear.' She said sadly. Ved looked away, his grip on her waist loosened. He felt tears pricking his eyes. He closed his eyes and breathed out. Natasha held his shoulder and caressed his arm. 'I am sorry.' She leaned resting her cheek against his shoulder and caressing his arms. Ved opened his eyes and tilted his head. He looked at Natasha briefly before looking ahead.

'Don't be, Natasha.' He held her palm and separated their frames, - 'I was a teen when my parents had a car accident and...my grandparents raised me. But, there is no point in lamenting. So, I let it pass but whenever I think of them I-'

Darn Tears- Ved moved his hand to wipe them but before he could Natasha wiped his tears with her palm. She turned him to face her and wrapped her arms around his neck. She made his head rest on her shoulder and wrapped her arms tightly around his back.

'Sometimes, it is okay to cry, Ved. It is Okay to cry.' She consoled him whilst caressing his back.

'Mumma, why is Ved crying?'
