*Jhanvi Pov*I stared at Ali in shock when he gave a teddy bear and a chocolate for Lakshmi the moment we walked inside the restaurant.“What is the need for this?” I asked him, frowning after we sat down.“I unnecessarily shouted at her last time.” He replied and I kind of smiled, looking at his face which is still a little bruised near the cheek.“Was it a nice punch?” I asked and he frowned before nodding.I couldn’t help but chuckle to which he frowned more, but I ignored it. I continued to smile more looking at the way Harsha trying to talk to Lakshmi.“Like this.” He said teaching her how to place the napkin.“Don’t you think she needs a brother like him and a complete family?” Ali asked promptly and I glanced away from them to stare at him.As Harsha wished, he is sitting beside Lakshmi which made me sit beside Ali for the first time.“And how do you know what a kid needs?” I asked, knowing well it was an intentional dig at him. “You are right! I do not know anything and I mis

*Jay Pov*“What?” she asked, frowning, but I just took another bite of food still staring at her.“Well?” she stressed, but I kept my calm.I opened my mouth, but another voice beats me making both of us turn towards it with a shock. While Lakshmi repeated saying, ‘Hash’.“Is she calling him?” I asked Jhanvi and she nodded smiling at Lakshmi.“She liked him immediately.” She replied and turned towards me only to lose her smile making me realize I am having some brooding look on my face.“Sorry!” I mumbled and finished my lunch before standing up.“I am getting fed up with that word.” She mumbled back.“Then why did you kiss me?” I asked her and immediately felt confused with the way I asked it.“What is the connection with that? Anyway, I didn’t kiss you because you say sorry.” She replied shrugging.“I should forget about it, right?” I asked her and she nodded.“I… I don’t know why I did it. Maybe I was angry because you did it wrongly or maybe because I thought wrongly about you.”

*Jhanvi Pov*“I am sorry! I shouldn’t have slept off.” I heard a coarse tone and glanced down to see him rubbing his eyes and slowly moved away while I removed my hands away from him.“It’s okay!” I mumbled, still feeling shock.I never saw a man feel emotional. They always hide their emotions right unless it is in dire circumstances like death. I saw men crumbling when their loved ones leave the world.But not to any other circumstances. I have never seen even Ali lose his composure and never saw him feeling sad in this way.However, here I saw a man losing all his will power with just a single word. I know that single word is much more than normal with him losing his identity as a father completely.“I should have already prepared for it.” He mumbled and I turned to stare at him to see him staring at the ceiling.“No one could prepare for anything.” I mumbled and he glanced at me.“It should have been hell for you, right? I mean you just got betrayed by the person you love and the

*Jay Pov*I ignored it! Actually, I tried to ignore it with everything in me, but I know I can’t anymore. No matter what happened, I can’t ignore her hurt.“Have this food, Jhanvi.” I finally said when I got to know she didn’t have breakfast and lunch at all.“You need to go to work too.” I added, but she just sat on the bed with closed eyes.“I am resigning my job.” She said and I controlled myself to utter anything.Of course, to go with them, she doesn’t need a job here right. Well, what should I tell her? When, I know she is just waiting for the adoption panel to give us clearance.But why is she sad when everything got settled with Ali? Is she feeling it because she has to stay away from him? Or because now she is stuck with me until divorce?When will she ask for a divorce? After everything settles with the panel? I thought and just stared at her while she has a tired look.“Here!” I said, sitting before her and took the spoon near her mouth for which she opened her eyes.She ga

*Jhanvi Pov*“I will be a little late today.” He mumbled finishing his breakfast while I stared at him.“Okay!” I said, thinking he will glance up, but he didn’t.“Bye!” he whispered to Lakshmi hugging her and walked off while I sat at the table staring at her smiling face.“What do you want to do now?” I asked and she looked around as if thinking before saying, ‘Ball’.“Ball? That you play with your Dad because he is good at it.” I said smiling.I played all that with Harsha wishing everytime his father was there to do it instead of me. Now, I will not do the same and let Jay play with her.“Doll?” she asked now and I smiled nodding.“She wants to play ball with you. Will you be here early tomorrow?” I asked him while having dinner starting the conversation.He is so calm from yesterday morning and it must be because of him, letting out his emotions that night. I don’t want to bring it up and make him feel more awkward.“Okay!” he said again, not glancing at me.Well, he can get lost

*Jay Pov*“Thank you!” I said, shaking his hand and he nodded, smiling before I walked out of their office.“Sir! The board members are waiting for you.” My manager said the moment I walked inside my office room.“You know, I think you deserve a raise.” I said, taking out the file I need.“But sir…” he trailed off in shock.“I didn’t even appoint a PA and you are doing all the work. I am sure I was able to do all this because of you.” I said smiling at him.“Thank you, Sir!” he said with a happy tone and I smiled feeling happy myself.“Now, let’s meet those wolves.” I said, making him laugh and we both walked towards the board room.“Gentlemen!” I said, nodding at all of them before taking my place.“Mr.Jay! We are really happy with the progress of the company. Even though it started on a rocky ground, we can see a great potential in the future.” One of them started while I felt shock inside but plastered a blank look.“However, it came to our notice that there was a small glitch.” An

*Jhanvi Pov*“Hey! The meeting took too long. Just give me two minutes to freshen up.” He said after walking inside the house.“It’s okay!” I said, smiling and continued to feed Lakshmi.“Where are my clothes, Jhanvi?” he asked after a few minutes and I glanced up to see him frowning with confusion.“We decided to shift to a single room and I thought it was better to be beside Lakshmi’s room if she needs anything for a few weeks at least. So, I shifted your clothes to my room.” I replied smiling.“Okay! Then I will use your washroom only.” He said shrugging and walked inside my room and I shook my head before removing Lakshmi’s plate while she cleaned her mouth.“Sleepy?” I asked, staring at her and she nodded yawning.I smiled, thinking the way she kept on helping me today with each and every work I was doing. After all that if she is not tired then it would have been a surprise.“She slept off?” I heard his voice the moment I walked out of her room and nodded before we both walked t

*Jay Pov*“When did they come and how?” I asked her still staring at two people staring at us back with shock covering their features and I saw a slight moment.I glanced to Kalpana’s side to see Sudhir waking up from his sleep before looking around only to see his eyes widen and he immediately hid his face holding Kalpana.“Oh god!” I mumbled realizing I brought it upon myself and held Jhanvi more tightly.“They saw me at the hospital and they literally dragged me or I can say made me come here. I thought you would be late today.” She replied in an accusing tone.“It finished soon! You should have called me.” I mumbled back.“Well, from where do you think I should? I didn’t get time.” She whispered and pinched my hand, which is around her waist.“Jhanvi! What is going on here?” Kalpana is the one who brought an end to our whispers and sound to the silence around us.“How are you, Kalpana?” I asked her clearing my throat and she nodded.“I am fine! But what is going on around here, J
