She pouted. I smiled and pulled her cheek. She smiled.

"You arrange the food till then I will call both of them. Okay?" I asked.

She nodded.

His POV ends.

Her POV

I was arranging the food when Prit entered. He just rushed to me and hugged me tight. I hugged him back while tears made their way.

"I missed you!" he whispered.

"I missed you too!" I whispered back.

He broke the hug and wiped my tears while I did the same to him.

"Hello lady and gentleman! Your attention please!" We heard Laksh.

We both looked at him while he is standing there with his hands on his waist.

"You both are such a cry babies." He said shaking his head.

"We are not cry babies!" we both said at a time.

He marched towards us and wiped the tears from both of our cheeks and showed to us.

"Then how did these flow? Oh is it any pump that got on without your knowledge?" he asked.

We both looked at each other and chuckled. We both then looked at Laksh who is smiling. Prit pulled Laksh to sit beside him and hugged him.

"You are the Best Jiju!" Prit said.

"That I am!" Laksh said raising his collar.

We three chuckled.

"On a serious note. Prit why don't you come and stay with us for few days? That's your house too." Laksh said.

I looked at him lovingly. Prit smiled.

"Not now jiju. When I miss di soooooooo much. Then I will myself come there for few days. For now I am fine." Prit said.

"But..." Laksh was about to continue but I shook my head asking him not to.

He stopped. He has to get habitual of staying away from me. It's not new for him anyway. He stayed away from me when he was doing engineering. He will be fine. But yesterday when I spoke he sounded very low which made me to get concerned about him. But now I know he will be fine. You see sibling connection. Can understand how and when they will be upset and when and how they will be fine.

"Okay! But remember you can come there whenever you want to!" Laksh said patting Prit's head.

Prit smiled and nodded.

"Atleast you come for dinner today. Ma, papa and you. All three of you. For this you won't say no." Laksh said.

"Yes you have to come." I added.

"Ask ma, papa. If they are okay I am in." Prit said shrugging his shoulder.

"Then let me call papa now only." Laksh said taking his phone.
