How, i Met your Mother!

Part 4

"Aakash! What? ... What happened to Musky?" His Mother, Sunaina asked when he entered inside with Musky in his arms

"I'll tell you Maa, first she needs change of clothes" He straight away headed to Muskaan's room while she followed behind

Akash settled Musky on bed who was sleeping, Payal hurriedly came forward with a towel and Muskaan's night dress while he snatched it from her hand and gave the same to his mother who was now, sitting beside Musky.

"Maa. Will you?" His mother took the dress from him not noticing Akash's anger towards his wife.. while, he went away, leaving his mother to heal Musky

....

"Arnav? When did you came? And Why, no one informed me?" asked his Father, Arvind who had came out hearing some commotion

But No reply came from Arnav as he was lost in what Happened before sometime

"Bhai? Are you alright?" Akash had asked him as soon as the car stopped with a screech, breaking his stupor

"Ya" he whispered in shock, still clearing his vision to see Muskaan staring back at him

"It's better we move to home, soon.. do you want me to drive?"

"No. I'll manage" Arnav started the car again with a confused mind

What was that?

He bet, that wasn't his hallucination..! How can imagination be, this real?

Akash picked a sleeping Musky in his arms, after he parked the car in front of their home and Payal followed behind them. Where as, Arnav just sat there for a while, staring at the seat which was occupied by his daughter, not before few seconds. He touched the coat which Akash had discarded before picking Musky .. he then, wore it himself to feel the warmth .. coming out of the car, he asked the driver to park it and came in.

"Arnav? How come you are with them? And what Happened to Musky? Did you say something to that child?" his mother came from nowhere and questioned him with rage

Seems she's angry on seeing her granddaughter's state. Well, he's no better.

"I'll tell you, Maa" it was Akash's voice who came from behind and stood beside his brother

"What happened to our Musky?" His dad came forward displaying shock

"Where's Payal?" asked Akash after not finding her around

"She's with Musky. I asked her to.." his mother told in a hurry so that they can come to main point but she was interrupted by Akash's loud voice

"Ramu Kaka" The caretaker came running panicked on hearing Akash's scream who otherwise is gentle

"Yes sir?" He asked with fear thinking he did some blunder

"Ask Payal to come here and you stay with Musky" The servant nodded and scurried away

"Akash, first tell us what's happening?" His mother turned him towards herself

"Ask her Maa. Ask your bahu what she has done with Musky?" He angrily blurted

"Payal?" His dad was more confused

"Yes... Ahh There she comes" He saw Payal standing stiff, near a pillar

"Payal? beta, what is Akash talking about?" Asked his Father

She stood numb, lowering her eyes

"Tell us Payal .. what happened?" His mother asked holding her arm
