Chapter 8:
Sakshi woke up and saw Arjun getting ready. It was a sunday morning, why was he up so late?
"Kahan ja rahe ho?" asked Sakshi yawning.
"Pune. Urgent call hai. I'll be back by tomorrow." said Arjun. Sakshi got up and tied up he hair. Arjun was brushing his hair when Sakshi back hugged him.
"Ill miss you." said Sakshi. Arjun turned to her side and held her by the waist. He made his forehead touch hers.
"I'll miss you too." said Arjun.
"Aditiya se mil ke jaya jana." Sakshi said. "Or he will drive me crazy."
"Haha. How can I leave without visiting champ." Arjun laughed. "Waise, I didn't tell you but you look damn hot when you have just woken up."
Sakshi smiled. "You look hot in your many coloured shirts."
"What?" Arjun asked confused.
"I mean you wear blue, light blue, green, dark green, yellow, greenish-yellow, pink, shocking pink, white, black, red, violet-" Sakshi was interrupted.
"I get it. You think I look hot all the time." said Arjun smirking.
********Aditiya's room.
"Champ. wake up." said Arjun.
"Dad?" asked Aditiya." What time is it?"
"7am." Arjun replied.
"Why did you wake me up so early?" asked Aditiya.
"I was leaving for Pune, and I would be back tomorrow." said Arjun.
"I'll miss you, dad." Aadi said and jumped on him. Arjun hugged him as well. "Can I come?"
"Aditiya, I will be working and you can't stay without mom." Arjun told him.
"Please, please, please, mom can come too. She will be there with me. I want to see how you work." Aditiya pleaded.
"Okay." said Arjun.
"Kya?" Sakshi looked at him.
"Han. Now get ready quickly." said Arjun.
"Fine. I'll pack some stuff and get ready. Arjun, you get Aadi ready." said Sakshi. "And Aadi please no playing while the shower. Dad just got ready."
"Okay." said Aditiya.
Sakshi packed some of the important stuff that Aadi will need and she got ready as well. She saw Arjun coming from the bathroom with tooth paste on his face.
"Aadi!" said Sakshi. "I said no playing."
"You said not to play in the shower. You said about playing while brushing my teeth." Aadi said smiling.
"Tumhara beta." Sakshi said looking at Arjun. "Choti bat note karna to koi is se seekhey."
******In the car.
"Dad, are we there yet?" said Aadi for the 50th time.
"Beta, I told you it will take another hour." said Arjun. "Take my phone and play games. I have to concentrate on the road, beta."
"No. I want mama's phone." said Aadi.
"Why?" asked Arjun.
"It has good pictures of yo-" Sakshi stopped him.
"AADI!" Sakshi said embarassed. "You promised."
"I can't tell even dad?" asked Aditiya. " About hi-"
"Aadi. Especially not him." said Sakshi.
"About what? I want to know. Beta tell me." said Arjun.
"Oh, it's just that mom takes pictures of y-" Aditiya began.
"I wont talk to you. If you tell him." Sakshi warned. Aditiya stopped talking.
"Tell me." said Arjun. "Pictures of who?"
"You. OOPS." Aditiya put a hand on his mouth.
"Aditiya!" Sakshi said embarassed.
"Sorry, it was an accident, mom." said Aditiya.
"Pictures of me? What? You never take pictures of me." Arjun said confused.
"While you were sleeping." Aditiya again said.
"ADITIYA!" Sakshi groaned.
"Sorry MOM." Aditiya said.
"Uggh. You are never getting my phone again." Sakshi said in anger. "I'll put a lock on it."
"But mom." Aditiya whined.
"STOP." Arjun yelled and put the breaks on the car. "We will discuss this in Pune. I can't concentrate on the road. He looked at Aditiya and Sakshi both of them were pouting. Yup, Arjun was scary when he got angry.
"Sorry." said both Aditiya and Sakshi at once. Arjun started driving. For another half and hour no one said a word.
