What happened to him? Why is he acting strange? Rudra asked Anika and for that Anika shook her head. I don't know, Rudra. he is behaving like this after returning from that wonderland. Anika said worringly looking at her son.

Now I got. I picked him in middle of his playing na that why he is mad. You don't worry Anika. I will make him normal. Rudra assured trying to taking Anish from Anika. Anish hugged anika's neck tightly frightened smelling Rudra trying to separate him from his mom.

Anush, don't trouble me. Mumma is getting late for office. I have to go, like a good boy go to uncle. Anika said. Anush lifted his head to see his mom's mouth with his watery eyes. Stop crying. Mumma will be back on afternoon. Anika said wiping anush's tears. You just stay her silently without troubling Aunty and uncle. Hmm. Anika asked lifting his chin with his finger.
Hmm.. Anish hummed forwarding hand to Rudra making Anika and Rudra surprise. Come, Rudra came out of his surprise zone and picked Anish. Say bye to mom. Bye mumma.
Rudra said waving Anish's hand.
Bye. Anika pecked anush's forehead and looked at Rudra.

Anika smiled listening to Rudra and left to office waving her hand at them.
