Next Morning

Arnav knocks on the door of Gupta household, and Sashi opens it with a warm smile.

"Arnav beta, come in, come in! It's so good to see you" Sashi was excited to see him after a week, he starts early in the morning for his work, so is usually not present when Arnav comes to pick Khushi for college but today he took an off so that he can take his son for a checkup

"Good morning, Uncle! Good morning, Aunty! How's everyone doing today?" Arnav greeted them with a cheerful smile as soon as he entered

"Good morning, Arnav beta! We're all doing well. Come on in." Garima called him towards the dining table where she was setting the breakfast

"What's the matter Uncle, you didn't go to office?"asked Arnav while walking towards the table

"Yes, wo.. I.. I have to go somewhere else.. So" Sashi trailed off the sentence not knowing what more to say

"Waah.. You made my favorite Cheese and pickle Sandwich?" Arnav forgot everything as soon as he saw his favorite food

Sashi took a sigh of relief. Hiding Aryan's Medical condition is one thing but he cannot lie to Arnav.

"Haan beta, yours and Aru's favorite" Garima smiled

"What's that you've got there, Arnav?" Sashi asked, noticing some package in his hand

"Oh, this? It's a little something for Aru. I know he's been wanting this game set for a while, it's the latest one in the market, so I thought I'd surprise him with it" Arnav himself sounded like a kid while talking about the new game

"Oh, Arnav beta, that's so thoughtful of you! Aryan will be over the moon. But don't you think, you're spoiling him? " Garima asked with fake anger

"Well, Aunty, it's no big deal. Aryan's like a little brother to me. And besides, it's his birthday soon, right? Consider it an early birthday present!?" He grins making Garima smile

"Indeed, indeed. You always have a way out, Arnav." Sashi was glad that Arnav brought smile to his wife's face

"Ah, don't mention it, Uncle! Now, where's the birthday boy? I can't wait to see the look on his face when he gets his hands on this game set." asked Arnav scanning through the living room

"He's in his room, probably still asleep. Let me go wake him up. You two make yourselves comfortable" She served them breakfast and went to wake Aryan up

"Uncle, these Sandwiches are amazing! Aunty really knows how to cook!"said Arnav digging into the deliciousness
