Akash stood at the entrance of the boys room watching his son Ankush and nephews munching on their baby food.Anita was feeding Ankush while Madhumati was feeding Aarav and Advay but Payal was having a tough time trying to feed a cranky Aditya who wouldn't allow his mom feed him because he hasn't seen his other girls that is Khushi and Arshi.
Though Aditya was small he always knew that when his mother was around, so was Khushi.
But today she and his partner in crime are nowhere to be found and he became angry.
Aditya then jutted his lips and it started shaking, an indication that he was about to cry. Within a few seconds Aditya started wailing and Payal took him in her arms and started rocking him gently , she knew the reason why Aditya was behaving in that manner, even though she was his mother she knew she loved Khushi more than her just like Advay love her more than Khushi.
But Khushi was not in the state to be with him and Payal was having a tough time claiming him down. Akash as if in a trance moved into the room.
Payal sense his presence and looked up to see Akash standing closer to her and looking at Aditya who stopped crying when he saw Akash.
Aditya started wiggling in his mother arms and stretch his hands out to Akash who gladly with tears of joy, carried him and then Aditya cupped Akash's face in his tiny hands and pecked his lips which made Akash laugh at his son's antics and Akash also kissed his cheeks which made Aditya giggle.
Aditya also did the same with Akash and Aditya started laughing hysterically because of the ticklish sensation he felt when he kissed Akash's stubble cheeks. Payal stood in shock not only by the presence of Akash but because of Aditya who never warms up to people that easily was playing in Akash's arms. Madhumati's state was the same as Payal. Their reverie was broken by Anita's voice.
"You!.......... What are you doing here? " asked a confused Anita to Akash. Payal turn out her gaze to her in shock.
"Anitaji do you know him? " asked Payal while pointing to Akash.
"Yes, Payal ma'am........ I meet him and ASR at the park a couple of days ago. ASR was the man with baby Arshi when I lost her at the park. " Anita explained shocking Payal at this information and she looked at Madhumati who nodded in agreement to Anita's revelation.
That was when Payal realised that's the reason why her mother slapped Anita. Anita softly gasped when she finally observed the features of Aditya and realised some of his features looked exactly like Akash. Anita them muttered
"You are Adi and Anku's father. "
Madhumati, Payal and Akash managed to catch her mutterings and Akash nodded at her conclusion.
"What are doing here Akash? " asked Payal.
"Am here to see my sons, nephews and niece, whom you and your family kept away from us. " Akash replied sternly but in a hurt and composed voice. This shocked Payal and Madhumati.
"What do you mean? " asked Madhumati.
"Are you both going to pretend that you don't know what am talking about....... Okay then since you have decided to pretend not to know, I will enlighten you. And by the way Bhai is already with his daughter. You and your family kept our kids away from us. I admit I was a coward and spineless for not standing up for you and your family when you all needed me the most, I hurt and humiliated you all for unworthy people and you had every right to punish me but this punishment is too harsh Payal. You and your sister had no right to hid and keep our kids away from us. " Akash said in a hurt voice with a teared up eyes. Akash was about to continue when Garima who was standing behind him cut his off.
