He came out of his reverie as he finished reading the letter and clutched the letter close to his chest and sobbed.

"i love you laddoo....i missed you so much...." he gasped for air. "why didn't you trust me?how could you think i could do that you....i understand laddoo....i understand what you saw was too much to take....i would have been angry as well....but why didn't you question me?hit me slap me shout at me....why did you leave me?all alone...." he sobbed and buried his face into his knees.

The night passed in a frenzy and in tears.

As soon as the sun ray hit his face , he woke up and went to the kitchen. He warmed her water and made a strong cup of coffee and heated Aru's milk and went to their room.

"choco pie...." he said softly in her ear. "baby it's morning....wake up...." he caressed her hair. Aru opened her eyes and yawned and immediately stretched her arms.

Karan chuckled , picked her up in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"good morning papa...." she said burying her face into his neck.

"my baby...." he caressed her hair. "let's get ready for school....but before that milky time...." he started to make her drink the milk by telling her a story.

Meanwhile Teja heard their voice and woke up. She sat up looking at him. His eyes were red and swollen and Teja took no time to guess that he was crying throughout the night.

On seeing her sit up , he silently handed her the glass of warm water. Teja knew there were answers that she needed. None of the calculations were matching in her head. What she saw and how karan behaves and the way he is in touch with his costar doesn't fit in her story and that drove her crazy. She knew that she will never get the answers from karan. He was too stubborn for that. But she had promised herself that she will find the answers herself. Screw him. She was enought to dig out the truth.

She sipped her warm water and cuddled Aru and as soon as she finished the water , he handed her the cup of coffee.

"thank you...." she muttered under her breath and sipped the coffee.

Teja got ready and went to the kitchen and asked their cook to leave. Karan and Aru came and sat at the dining table when Teja came out and gave them two bowls of poha.

"breakfast...." she said nonchalantly.

Karan gulped and looked at Aru who seemed to be pretty okay with the breakfast.

"she likes my poha...." teja said reading his trail of thoughts and started to feed Aru.

Karan understood that Teja was pissed at him. And the reason also was not unknown to him. Everytime Teja would be pissed at him she would ask their cook to leave and make poha for karan.

He didn't create any fuss and had it silently as Teja smirked in mind. Suits him right. He won't tell the truth to her so he has to deal with poha.

They got ready and dropped Aru to school and went on set.

They had their shot together. They did it professionally and Karan had one more shot to give so he stayed on floor while Teja went back to the vanity. Karan went back to his vanity rubbing his temple. He just wanted some silence.

He entered his vanity to see Teja sitting on the bed and his team standing there quietly.

"bhaiya...." Omi held his hand and quickly took him out of the vanity.

"what the hell is happening here?" karan asked him confused. He didn't know what was happening. "what is Teja doing here?and why is everyone standing around her?why did you bring me out?"

"she is your wife....you should be knowing what she is doing here...." Omi said smirking and Karan glared at him.

"will you care to tell me?" Karan narrowed his eyes.

"she is looking for the contact of the makeup artist who did you makeup in that web series...." as soon as Omi said it , Karan nearly lost his mind.

"what the hell...." he muttered under his breath.

"you very well know why....your makeup artist stays with you on set always....she threatened our team that if they don't find and give that contact she will contact the director...." Karan sighed in irritation. Teja has finally lost it. She had meant it last night when she said 'wait and watch'.

"did she ask you anything?" Karan asked him.

"thousand questions but she was hysterical.... she didn't let me answer only...." he shrugged and karan frowned. He quickly went inside.

"can you guys give us a few minutes?" he asked his team and everyone sighed in relief and went away quickly. Madam was on fire today.

"what are you doing here?" karan asked her calmly. " this is our set Teja.... we work here....don't give people a chance to gossip about..." Karan tried to make her understand.

"look....this is my life okay? you are not telling me anything and your staff are all tight lipped because you had asked them isn't it?and how dare you say that i am disturbing you?" she snapped at him...

Karan tried to recall when had he said that she was disturbing him but then he figured out that Teja was too angry right now.

"and you are not understanding that there is nothing that i can tell you...." he sighed.

"bloody liar.... I know that you are lying...." she snapped at him loudly.

"shhh....people can hear us from outside...." Karan said sternly.

"that's basically your problem....what will people say is your issue not mine.... And I am your wife.... so I can scream at you...." She said casually.

Karan rolled his eyes.

"I am going to pick Aru up and come...." with that he went out of the vanity.

"omi bhaiya...." teja said loudly from inside and Omi looked at karan.

Karan glared at him.

"dare you open your mouth...." and with that he sat in his car and drove away.

"why me?" he looked up at the sky and face palmed.

Karan picked Aru up from school and came back to his vanity. Teja was still on the bed.
He made Aru sit on the bed beside Teja and opened their lunch box. They had their lunch together and Karan and teja went back for their shot leaving Aru with his team in the vanity.

They finished their shot and karan sat with the director and other guys to chat for a while and teja came back to his vanity to Aru.

"mumma i want that...." she pointed at the TV and where a kid was having candle light dinner with her parents.

Teja was taken aback.

"papa won't agree...." she didn't want to go to a dinner like that with Karan.

"papa will...." she frowned. "he never says no...." she pouted.

"yes yes....he is all ready to spoil you...." teja muttered under the breath.

Before Aru could say anything karan came inside.

"papa...." she pouted and pointed at the TV. "I want that...."

Karan looked at the screen and then looked at Teja who gave a slight nod.

"okay baby....i will arrange it...." he quickly asked his team to book a place for them.

They winded up their work and went to the restaurant.

Aru was happily holding Teja's hand and walked inside the restaurant along with Karan who was walking behind them.

Teja made aru sit on the chair. Kaan and Teja also took their seats.

Karan gave the menu card to aru , although he knew she won't be able to read the names properly apart from identifying the letters , he still gave it to her to make her feel good and included.

Aru made a confused face looking at the card. Teja smiled widely looking at her.

"what is this?" she pointed at the first letter of Chinese.

" C..." aru said proudly.

"then???" she asked next.

"h..." aru smiled at her.

"good girl...." she patted her head and took the card from her hand and ordered their dinner.

"don't you want alcohol??" he bend down a little towards Teja and taunted her , careful enough so that aru doesn't hear him. Teja glared at him.

"Aru is here..." She rolled her eyes.

"yeah right....she wasn't home last night right?" He smirked and looked away.

They had their dinner and their drive back home was quiet. Aru had fallen asleep on Teja's lap and Karan kept driving quietly. she looked at him and felt her eyes turning wet again. before she could turn more vulnerable , she looked outside the window.

Karan knew that she was crying. He gulped softly and quickly wiped the corner of his eyes and concentrated on the road.

Only if.
