Shivaay POV
Looking at my son playing with some of his friends outside is the one thing that gets me close to happiness these days
"Arnav its time to go!"I yell for him and watch him come running to me
I give him the bag I have packed for his camping trip," Dad please I don't....
I shhhd him and once again tried to explain why I have insisted he agree to this week long camping trip
"Arnav.....I know its difficult but its time to move on with life!make new memories.... I promise I will come get you if you don't like it there!"
My son and I have fought on and off this past month about my decision to send him to a school camping trip
He wanted to stay home but I needed him to still be a child and experience life especially after what happened
Raising a child alone is the most difficult thing imaginable, I don't know how Anika did for all this years without any support from me or my family
Its been 6 months since the accident and I think its time for him to feel the sun in his face again,be happy again.
Its time he stopped letting his pain and anger consume him
I pulled him into a hug,kissed his forehead and said,"I love you Arnav...try and be happy....even if its just for a week!"
He nodded and hugged me tighter,"I love you too dad!please call me when.....
"I know son....I know!" I said once again kissing his forehead
My Arnav might think its easy just letting him go but its the toughest thing I have ever done
I know he isn't going into war but ever since the accident he has been the only person I feel shared my pain!He is the only person I could talk about Anika to without losing my mind
We have held each other getting and taking strength! But now he has to go cos I can feel it now...darkness is nearly consuming me and I can't let it have my son too!
He run back upstairs to my room and I let him!I knew what he was doing and I was glad
"Have a safe trip!I will call you every hour OK!" I said smiling at him,he give me a small smile... side hugged me again and walked to the school bus that was waiting for him
"Call me!" He once again said ...I nodded ,stood there till to bus left!I hope this will bring him hope!

"Mr Oberoi!?" ACP Malhotra called out to me before I walked into OM
I turned frustrated, I just wanted to go to my room,"Yes?!"I said with a quite and calm voice
"Mr Oberoi I just wanted to give you an update about Mrs Oberoi case!" He said looking a little nervous
"Anything new?" I asked faking interest ...I knew for a fact that there isn't anything new in their case
"We have released the video you give us to the media and we don't have any lead as of yet!" ACP said taking step back looking like I might jump on him any second now
"Then why waste my time now!!!...
I said calm and cold with indifferent as I turned and walked away!
" I have no time for there incompetence! "I thought to myself walking up the stairs
"Shivaay!Bhai!" Omru shouted running up the stairs after me,I once again turned now getting angry at being delayed
