"What the hell is this??" He asked frowning at Khanna who was looking at him expectantly

"Coffee sir"

"Coffee??? This?? Where is Janani?? Who made this concoction??" He asked pushing the cup away from him

"I made the coffee just how Janani asked me to make" Khanna said

"Where is Janani???" His main question was not being answered and he is getting frustrated

"She has gone to mandir"

"Who has gone to the mandir??" Aadesh walked into the kitchen

"Janani and the kids" Khanna said

There was an unusual silence in the kitchen

Both the brothers couldn't look at each other after what happened last night

Aadesh doesn't want his brother to ask him anything regarding what happened yesterday and Armaan doesn't want his brother to know that he knows what happened

The silence was broken by the sound of little feet running towards them

They looked up to see Ava in a red silk skirt and top running towards them. She has jasmine flower pinned to her hair and tilak applied on her forhead

She did a little impromptu twirl in front of them

"Pwetty??" She asked earning a smile from her dada and chachu

"Ava baby is the prettiest " Armaan said and picked his daughter up and made her sit on the kitchen island after giving her a tight kiss on her cheeks

He again looked towards the door when he heard the footsteps and his breath caught in his lungs at the sight in front of him

Janani clad in a simple red chiffon saree with Advi on her hip and a small thali in her hands

Advi was wearing an off white silk kurta and he too had a tilak on his forhead.

Aadesh picked up Advi from her and Janani fed him the prasad and applied tilak for Aadesh too

Then she came towards him a forwarded the prasad towards his hand.

"You won't feed me??" He asked in a slight whisper and Janani silently fed him the prasad and applied the tilak for him too

He had never been a believer in God and had never stepped foot in a temple before but if this makes her happy ,then so be it

She looked at the coffee cup on the table and raised an eyebrow

"You didn't have your coffee??" She asked

"Its not a coffee...its some sort of concoction Khanna made with coffee powder. I need your coffee to start my day Janani" he said and she busied herself in making the coffee

As she took the sugar tin she saw it was empty. The larger tin was in the top kitchen cupboard and she raised on her tip toes to reach for it

Armaan saw her tucking in the pallu of her saree around her waist and and he gulped seeing the creamy perfection of her waist

Janani felt extremely tensed. At the mandir she had made the decision.

She is going to tell him the truth. She can't keep up the ruse anymore. She has started to like him very much. And if she so much as wants to even think about a future with him she will have to come clean in front of him

And she is terrified of his reaction. All she can pray is that he wouldn't hate her once he knows the truth.

She was thinking about what would happen when the truth comes out that she didn't realise his presence until he reached for the tin himself
