"So who cuddles the little girl if her mother is not here" Janani asked

"Baby Ava is quite attached to her nanny"

"So her father ,Mr Verma doesn't gives her cuddles and kisses?" Janani asked frowning

How could she leave her little Advi in his care now

"Ava is not much close to ..er...her father.She just came to live here a few months ago" Payal admitted uncomfortably

"Ms Janani ,you shouldn't go to her.She is in good hands " the maid said urgently as she saw Janani walking towards Ava's room

"Well ,it certainly doesn't sound like it" Janani muttered "and if no one else is going to stop that screaming ,then I am"

Without waiting for permission, she walked along the corridor until she located the sound and pushed open the door, her gaze immediately homing in on a little figure in the middle of a huge bed.

She looked round the huge room and found the two Verma brothers standing there looking on helplessly

The child sobbed and screamed and a young woman tried to calm her.

The woman looks as warm as an iceberg

"Give her a cuddle ,will you" the words shot out of her mouth and she saw three pairs of eyes turning to look at her

"She wouldn't let me cuddle.She keeps thrashing and kicking ,it is impossible to cuddle" The nanny said defensively

The child's screams intensified and she drummed her hands and legs on the bed

"She is scaring herself.She needs to be cuddled" Janani said firmly ,slipping off her bunny slippers and sliding on to the bed.

It was the only way to reach the child

The bed was simply large

Who would assign a king sized bed for a three year old little girl

Ofcourse, the answer is standing in front of her with a look of disbelief plastered across his face

Having settled herself comfortably, Janani placed the baby monitor on the bedside table and scooped the child onto her lap and cuddled her close ,ignoring the flailing arms and kicking

She hugged her tightly and talked softly to her ,singing nursery rhymes

Finally ,when she was ready to give up and try something else ,Ava gave a sob and flopped against her exhausted

Janani let out a breath

"Gosh!! That must have been an awful dream" Janani murmered stroking Ava's hair from her face with a gentle hand

Her face was scarlet and damp from crying and she looked utterly pathetic that Janani's heart went out to the child

"Do you want to tell me about it??" Janani asked softly

"Tigers..." the little girl hiccuped "and more tigers"

Janani frowned and rocked her gently in her arms

"And what were the tigers doing??"

"Chasing me" she hiccuped again "They were going to eat me.Just like the story"

Janani felt her shiver and tightened her grip

"Just like what story??" She asked softly

"Like the story nanny liddi told me " she looked at the young woman and shrank closer to Janani

"I see" Janani said glaring at the young woman looking at her with complete hatred

"Nanny liddi told me if I talk to dada tigers will eat me" the little girl said as she snuggled closer for Janani's warmth
