Armaan picked up his personal phone which had been ringing for a while now and smiled as he saw the caller ID

Inder

"When did you come back from your European trip Inder?? Armaan asked as soon as he picked up

Inder is his best friend. They have been together at school and went to different fields for further studies but they always kept in touch

"Landed today morning Maan"

"You reached in the morning and you are calling now only?" Armaan asked

"Had to make an important visit" Inder smiled thinking about the mother son duo who rules his heart now

He had been away for the last one and a half months due to some unavoidable medical conferences and medical camps in tribal regions around the world

"Does this important visit happens to be a woman??" Armaan teased

"Maybe" Inder replied vaguely shocking Armaan

"Really?? You came back from a world tour and the first thing you do is go visit one of your flings??" Armaan asked surprised

"She is not a fling Armaan" Inder's voice hardened

He wouldn't let anyone say anything bad about his woman. Even if it's his best friend

Armaan was further shocked.

Is his best friend finally in love??

"Inder?? I'm happy for you" Armaan said and it was Inder's turn to be shocked

Armaam happy for someone in love??

He expected a scoff followed by taunt about the non existence of love and was all ready to defend his feelings

"Thank you" he choked out making Armaan chuckle

"Don't tell me the woman is one of your patients" Armaan teased again

"Talking about patients ,I got your email about finding your son and that woman who did a runner with your son. Couldn't get back to you sooner" Armaan's lips thinned in agitation

He didn't like how Inder referred to Janani as that woman.

He had done worse ,but he simply couldn't tolerate it from someone else

"That woman has a name.Janani Trivedi. And yes I found my son too" Armaan replied tightly making Inder frown

Why is Armaan defending that woman ,he couldn't understand

Inder still remembers Janani Trivedi

Her IVF was done in his hospital

He is one of the most renowned heart surgeons in the country and he had personally taken care of Janani Trivedi's case and consulted regularly with the gynaecologist regarding all her check ups as Armaan didn't want to be personally involved

Her eyes were dead cold and he did wonder what made Armaan select her as the surrogate

Then he thought it's better to have the surrogate mother as cold and detached as it wouldn't create problems in separation after the baby is born

But no one ever saw the possibility of her running away from the hospital

"I'm happy for you. How are they? Ava and what's his name??" Inder asked not wanting to probe further on Janani Trivedi

"Advaith. We call him Advi. And yeah both Ava and Advi are good" Armaan answered

"I will drop by for a visit soon. I will be pretty busy for the next week catching up with my regular patients "
