Arnav's POV continues

After the presentation

Guy (smiling) - After much discussion, we are happy to announce that our business will work collaboratively with AR... I would like to ask my assistant, Miss Singhania to grab the flowers and give it to Mr ASR...

Khushi gets up from her seat with the flowers in her hand and gives them to me.

Khushi (fake smiling) - Congratulations... Mr Raizada...

I need to know what's going through Khushi's mind. I smile and sit back down at my seat and as soon as the meeting finishes, I dial Aman's number.

Me (angry) - Find out about Khushi Singhania... this instant!

I cut the phone in my anger and stare at Khushi hugging someone. I wonder who he is... as I move closer I am surprised to see Nk and hugging Khushi... wonder why. I angrily leave the office feeling annoyed and cursing Khushi for leaving me. On my way home, I see a crying child on the road, I am nearly about to hit it but thankfully I stop at the last minute. I rushed out of the car to check on the child.

Me (tensed) - Are you ok?

Boy (crying) - mumma!

I unwillingly lift the child up, who looks around 2 years old and look around to see anyone nearby but I see no one. I make the child sit in my front sit and stare at him.

Me (worried) - Where is your mumma?

Boy (crying) - mumma...

How do I stop a crying child? Who should I call? Sheetal? No! She can't even look after Aarav properly... di? Nope... Aman! I dial Aman's number and he picks it up on the second ring.

On-Call

Me (annoyed) - How do you stop a child from crying?

Aman - Sir I don't know how to make you stop crying...

Me (angry) - What the...

Aman - but sir, you don't sound sad... then who is crying?

Me (annoyed) - What the... can't you hear the child crying in the background?

Aman - Oh... yeah... I can... in case you don't know... I have no experience with children... but you have a kid...

Me (annoyed) - He isn't my kid... he is Sheetal's child...

Aman - Whatever ASR... buy the child a bar of chocolate and he or she will be happy... I have a lot of work to do... bye...

Me (angry) - What the...

Call Ends

I was supposed to be the boss but I feel Aman is my boss. I stare at the child who is still crying.

Me (smiling) - Chocolate?

The child smiles immediately and I drive us to a market to get us a bar of chocolate. I lift the boy from his seat and we both head into a store. I take him towards the chocolate section and instead of getting 1, he has 5 in his hands.

Me (smiling) - Too many chocolates aren't good ...

Boy (curious) - Why?

Me (smiling) - Bad for your health... and I am sure your mumma wouldn't like you to have too many...

Boy (upset) - Mumma... missing her...

Me (smiling) - I will take you to your mumma if you take only one chocolate and smile...

Boy (smiling) - Ok what the uncle...

Me (surprised) - What the... okay, baby... let's go...

Boy (annoyed) - Not baby... Big boy...

Me (surprised) - What's this big boy's name?

Boy (smiling) - mumma's big boy... Aryan...

Me (smiling) - Well, Aryan... Should we get you the chocolate?

Why do I feel I just heard this name somewhere? Aryan nods and we both head towards the counter to pay for the chocolate.

Cashier (smiling) - Oh my god, are you Arnav Singh Raizada?

Me (smirking) - Yes...

Cashier (excited) - I can't believe this... congratulations sir... you are over 250th customer... can we please take a photo of you and your child and post it on our wall to attract new customers?

I really don't want to waste time on this but a photo wouldn't hurt... right?

I nod at the cashier and she makes Aryan and I stand at the wall and then starts taking photos, one of the photos has Aryan kissing me. I am going to have this photo printed and stuck on my wall.

Cashier (smiling and handing me the flowers) - Thank you so much, sir... you can take the chocolate... it's a thank you token from us...

I smile and take the chocolate and Aryan to my car.

Me (smiling) - So Aryan... what's your mum's name...

Aryan (smiling) - mummy...

Me (smiling) - Okay then... tell me what were you doing on the road by yourself and crying?

Aryan (upset) - Aunty... being mean... she hit me...

Me (angry) - Which aunty...

Aryan (scared) - No idea...

I should call the police so that they can find Aryan's parents but before that, I should check Aryan's bag to see if there is any information about Aryan's parents. I am about to touch Aryan's bag when he starts to cry.

Me (worried) - What happened?

Aryan (crying) - Sleepy... mumma...

Oh god, how will I make him sleep? I have no experience with children...I know someone who can help me...

Precap - Aryan sleeping in Arnav's lap and Arnav calls Khushi
