Aarav's POV

I came home in the evening and went to my room. I quickly freshen up and entered my closet. On the floor, I noticed one of my favorite watches. Its glass was smashed into shards. I quickly changed and picked up the broken watch. I went to the study room where Sachi was working on her design.

"Sachi, How could you be so careless?" I said in a bit loud voice.

"What did I do?" She said without looking up from her design.

"You broke my watch. You could have at least picked it up and cleaned the place." I said.

"I didn't go to our room since morning. In the morning also, I got ready before you."

"Then who broke my watch?" I asked her.

"You do realize right we have three kids who can have access to our bedroom whenever they want." She said and looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and I simply nodded.

"You better say sorry to me for blaming me." She said sternly.

"Ok, sorry." I said.

"Let's find your culprit." She said and went out of the room. She took me to Advik's room. As we entered we saw them sitting on the bed in a circle and sulking.

"Who broke my watch?" I asked in a stern voice, and they got scared. They stood up on the bed.

"Dad, I broke your watch. I'm sorry." Advik and Sanvi said at the same time. I saw Sanj looking at them in disbelief. I looked at him in shock. So, Sanj broke my watch. Why are these two lying to me? I looked at Sachi, and she shrugged her shoulder and handed the case over to me.

"Both of you broke the watch. May I know what were you doing with it." I said, pretending as if I didn't catch their lie.

"She was looking at it, but I tried to pull it from her hand, and it fell on the ground. If you want to punish anyone, punish me." Advik said. Now I know why they are lying.

"Sanj, You want to say something. Were you involved with them?"

"Dad..." He couldn't say anything further as Advik and Sanvi held his hand to stop him.

"How do you think I am going to punish you?" I asked them.

"I don't know." He said. He has done, plenty of mischiefs, but I have never seen him look so scared.

"Sachi, What should be their punishment for lying?" I asked her

"I don't know. Maybe something severe so that they doesn't repeat their mistake." She said dramatically making them more scared. Her acting skills have got better.

"Let's get to know first why they are lying to us." I said. I went near the bed and stood in front of Sanj.

"Sanj."

"Dad I am sorry." He said.

"Did you break my watch?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"Please punish me. Don't punish them." Why are they so scared? Are they thinking that we are going to hit them as a punishment?

"What made you all think that I was going to punish you?" I asked them.

"We thought you might get angry, very angry." Advik said.

"So you all simply assumed that lying will not make me angry." I said and they looked guilty.

"Now tell me, what exactly happened?" I asked them.

"We were in your room. I was trying to wear your watch, but it slipped from my hand and landed on the ground. I am sorry."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" I asked him.
