Shivani was seen walking from one end of room to another.Seething in anger.Nandini tried to make her understand.But there was no way she would calm down today.Vikram came from office to collect some file.When his wife stormed at him.Driver was also scared.He was sent back by Vikram.Nandini called Lata for help.Both stood together.Waiting fo rlava to burst any second.

V-"Shivani I cant file that blue file in office.Have to return as it was urgent.Where is it."

Sh-"I dont know.Why should I care.When no one here cares for me.What I want.Why I want things to be.Way I want."

Vikram looked at Lata and Nandini.Trying to tell him something.When Shivani glared at them.Making them silent.She held Vikram.Taking him to other side.Making him sit.Her eyes sobered down.She was losing her patience.

V-"Whats wrong.Are you alright."

Sh-"How can you ask whats wrong with me.If Im his Mom.You are his Dad too.Vikram do you realize your son has gone.For more than week now.Its been 3 weeks.He went for work trip.From there no one knows.Why he went to some other place.Didnt care to take permission from us?"

V-"Shivani he is an adult.Why should he take permission from us.Your blood pressure will go up.Relax and tell me.Whats bothering you."

L-"Anna she is right.Vivaan shouldnt stay away from home.Like that frequently.Things havent settled down also.He should be here."

Sh-"Whom are you talking to Lata.He is clueless to everything.Ask him if he knows.Where his son is.He didnt inform us even.Just passed message.He is going somewhere.Will be back in some time.Im so tired with this boy.What is he going to do with his life.Here its difficult to handle.Varna with passing time.She doenst treat us as family.Her being part of us.I will go mad."

The bell rang.Vikram tried to calm down his angry wife.Nandini went to answer door.Shivani was about to cry when.All stood still.Finding Nandini lost.Behind her was standing Vivaan.Looking completely different.Like he used to before.His long hair and beard was gone.With face clean shaven and hair set with gel.Shivani and Vikram came to him.Shock was written on everyones face.Nandini had her mouth open.Vivaan raised his brows.Then shaking his head.Asked helper take his luggage inside.He flipped his fingers infront of Nandini.

V-"Nandu do I look like ghost to you."

N-"Yes.No I mean.Anna I was.You are looking different."

V-"Thanks for responding.Why are you at home today.Dad you too."

He went to touch his parents feet.Then Lata.She smiled and was taken in hug by him.He touched her cheeks affectionately.Something he hasnt done.Since time Ramya passed away.Lata didnt knew how to react.She gave him light smile.Still surprised.

V-"how are you now.Are you taking care of your health.You have doctors appointment this week.Hope you remember that."

L-"Im doing well Vivaan.How are you.Good to have you back."

Vivaan gave bright smile.Moving to Shivani.Who stood like rock.Shell shocked at her sons changing behavior.It was like from day to night.He gave her tight hug and kissed her cheek.he wiped sweat from her forehead.While she stood in disbelief.Vikram gave pat on Vivaans back.Giving him hug.

V-"Dad you are not going to work today.Hope everything is alright."

Vik-"Well I went.Came back and its good that I did.Good to see you.I have to get back now.Take care of your Mom.She needs lot of answers from you."

He winked at his son.Shivani,Lata and Nandini were standing in line.All taken back by Vivaans behavior.His way of speaking.As Vikram left he got back to ladies.He folded sleeves of his hoodie.

V-"Guys why are you giving me this look.Im scared.Its me only.Nandu where is your good for nothing husband.Tell that idiot to meet me.Once he is back."

Nandini gave nod.Vivaan came to Shivani.Touching her hand and kissing it.He shut his eyes.Gave her understanding look.She touched his cheeks.he knew he has done enough damage.To his family as well as.Some other people.He needs to correct them.

Sh-"Vivaan Im getting old.Dont keep me in such difficult situations now.Like this.Im worried for you always."

V-"You dont have to Mom.Im back now.Sorry for making you all tensed.For me and I promise.Everything will be alright.Give me some time.You rest now."

Vivaan smiled at them and went upstairs.Towards his room.Three of ladies looked at each other.Still in shock.But happy and relieved.Way Vivaan was looking.Something has happened.They didnt know why he got sudden change.But for whatever reason it happened.Only if it could make things better finally.Nandini took breath of relief.

Sh-"Lata Im seeing smile on his face.After ages.Cant tell you how Im feeling right now."

L-"I know Akka.Maybe this trip was needed for him.To realize where he stands in life now.He has to change.In order to accept present.See his face.He is same Vivaan.used to be."

Sh-"I was angry because he went.But magic that happened.Im thankful."

N-"Im worried for one thing.We are happy with this change in him.What about someone else.As in volcano which is always ready to burst.How will equation be with Varna now."

Vivaan opened door to his room.Shutting his eyes.He took breath finally.Falling on his bed.he missed being home.Time he has taken for something important.He was satisfied that he could come in terms with few things.In his life.It was much needed.He looked at himself in mirror.smiled faintly and realized.he did looked changed.Clean shaved and long hair gone.With beard.He cant wait to hold his son.Kiss him and give him love.He was glad he was back.With mind to think in better way.With determined view this time.He has to do it.For his own self.But he knew few things wont be easy.He turned back thinking about next room.About existence of person there.He had smirk on his face.

View was such delight to watch.When he entered room.Found Pranush trying to sit.He failed twice but chuckled.Making cute noise.He got so excited and loudly expressed his happiness.When finally he was sitting on his crib.He was surrounded with his toys.Favorite pillow and blanket.His growth was something.He missed on seeing.Vivaan couldnt hold back run to his son.Pranush raised his eyes.First he wasnt used to seeing his father in this look.He took some time and frowned.Vivaan smiled at him and picked him.In his arms.Pranushs face broke.He gave loud wail.Picked up by someone he couldnt recognize.Vivaan looked around.varna wasnt there.

V-"Hey brat couldnt recognize me.Appa is here.Give me smile.Come on."

After some time.If his touch and warmth did some miracle.Pranush smiled and sucked his fingers.He was happily responding to Vivaans kisses.As he poked his nose into his small tummy.Tickling him and making him chuckle.Both were busy in playing.He showered him with kisses.Pranush enjoyed completely.

Var-"Whose there."

Vivaan could hear voice from behind.Varna came out of shower.With towel on hand.her hairs were wet.She wasnt wearing her stole.Pranushs cries made her get back.She frowned seeing person standing there.No one was allowed in room.Even if family members came.Wouldnt enter like that.She was scared to found male figure.Unknown and not answering her holding Pranush.

Var-"I asked who are you.What do you think you are doing here."

V-"Think you have been blessed.Eyes to see that.If not shall I turn around.Answer your queries."

Var-"Dont try to act smart.What are you doing with him."

Before Varna could blast at him.She was take back.As Vivaan turned around.With normal look on face.Pranush was happily enjoying.In his own world.Tapping on Vivaans cheeks.Which were clean shaved now.Who would be happier than him.No pricking.Vivaan patted his back and kissed him.Eyeing Varna and he could see her shocked.Like others.

V-"Im not allowed in my sons room.Touch him or play with him.I see."

Varna was still standing in daze.But reality dawned upon her soon.She tried to look for her stole.Standing in front of Vivaan like that.Wasnt comfortable at all for her.She finally got hold of it and let it be around her neck.She felt embarrassed for.Saying words to him.

Var-"Im sorry.Thought it was someone else.Had to take shower.He was sleeping.Thats why left.If he was awake.Would have left him with someone else.I didnt knew he would be up so soon and."

Vivaan rolled his eyes.Making a face and it shocked her again.As she didnt complete and he was seen.Walking in room.Taking look at every corner.He made face.Checking out bed and furnitures.There werent many.Varna was confused with his actions.He looked and sounded weird.Vivaan looked at Pranush.Who was aiming for his.Blazing to chew it.He kissed his chubby cheeks.Took seat on bed.Looked again at room.He found Varna standing still.She was waiting for him to leave.Why was he crazily staring at room.Again and again.

V-"Pranu what say.This room looks dull and boring.Can we go for renovation?Something colorful and lively."

Pranush replied to him in his tone.Giving him indication as if he understood.His answer was same.Vivaan chuckled.Looking at his hyper baby.

V-"I know.Appa will make everything alright.Dont worry.First we need to change color.Red or yellow.Lets decide on that.Then need to change this bed.Will be too small for you.When you grow up.Next these furnitures.We need other things too."

Var-"Im sorry but I think.Its alright.Room looks fine.He is still not grown up.When its time.Things can be done.Till then it can wait."

Vivaan didnt care to look or hear her.Which made her greet her teeth.So he was throwing attitude.Why not.It was his house and command will be his.Let him do whatever he wants.But she has right on Pranush too.She wont leave this matter like that.She looked irritated.As Vivaan went to side where her luggage bag was placed.He made face.Shaking his head.

V-"Pranu I thought we had one baby here in this room.Look at this mess.Now I think really need.To renovate this place.Things are thrown here and there.Have to fix them."

He was about to bump into Varna.He turned around and found her not happy.With his words.She went on to set her things.In proper way.Covering from his eyes.He smirked at her as she did that.When she got up.He went back to conversing mood with Pranush.varna finally gave up.Realizing he wont leave room any time.She thought to leave room when heard his voice.

V-"Where do you think you are going.Did I ask you to."

Var-"What?"

V-"Did I asked you to leave.When I didnt.You cant leave this room."

Var-"Why should I wait for you.To decide if I can leave.Its time for his meal.Get his food."

V-"Can wait for some time.My son is patient.Like his Appa.Right Pranu?We need to talk."

Var-"Look you can do whatever you want to.With this room.Since its about your son.You have right to take any decision on him.But Im not bound to.be in these things.Better if I leave."

V-"You are worse than Pranush.Dont know how you managed to run empire.for so long.Didnt your clients ever tell you.For this impatient behavior."

Var-"Im not bothered about.Whatever you think of me.Why am I even wasting my time.You be with him.Im going."

Vivaan placed Pranush back in his crib.He kissed his head.Setting his blazer right.Went to stand facing Varna.She was red with anger.He liked look on her face.Only if it was same old Varna.He has seen before.Things were not okay between them.Back then also.But now they have gone worse.He didnt know how they have come so far.Hating so much on each other.He kept on looking at her.She didnt like it.Was about to leave again.

V-"I get you Varna.I get everything.Why you are bothered.Run away from every person.Who wants to be there for you.Be it for arguing with you.Or caring.You dont like it.But I want to tell you something today.No matter you want this or not.Im not going to head back now.From this time.Can take this as new problem.Obstacle in your life.All I want to make it clear to you.Loud enough that.Im here to stay.Till you push me.So hard that you have to give acceptance."

Var-"Acceptance to what.This relationship.Strong dislike we have for each other.What do you expect to happen."

V-"I have expected alot in life.Done with them.Now I just want it to let be in flow.Holding on to strings of our life will make.It more difficult.So let it be.Let it go wherever it wants to.We have to give acceptance.Thats it.to every single thing it wants us to do."

Var-"Dont want to argue unnecessarily.With you."

V-"No one cares what you want."

Var-"yeah right."

V-"Why getting tears.For what.Do you like when someone cares for you.Then why this emotion.Its you who stop others."

Var-"Can I go now.If you are done.Demeaning me again.This is what Im left with now.Every day under this roof."

V-"To answer your question.No Im not done with you.For now.Varna do you know.What it means living under same roof.With people.Or you stop yourself from realizing what it means.There are many questions.Need to ask yourself first.But I will give you time.Dont worry.As of now.Its time you prepare yourself.Be out of this damsel in distress mode.Because I wont let you.Be like this."

Varna didnt speak word.Her eyes were blazing fire at him.Vivaan knew that and his smirk.Wrecked her nerves.She was so angry that her face hardened.His words felt like completely different.How he has spoken before to her.Vivaan gave smile to her.Stopped near door.Turning back at her.She frowned hard.

V-"Now stop blazing fire at me.Bring food for my son.He is hungry.He doesnt know that.His mothers anger can.destroy seven worlds.Have good day."

Varna slammed door hard.Resting her back on it.She couldnt cry or express her.Anger in any way.Why was she feeling like that.It wasnt first time she had interaction with him.Before also they were involved in heated words.But this time he was different.She couldnt see hate on him.Taunt in his voice.Why was he torturing her.What is he going to do.No one can expect her to be normal.Back to life.She wont let herself get back to.Where it started.Not with person because of whom.It happened with her.She cried and wiped her tears.Hearing Pranush and went to attend him.
