Wrapped around your little finger (COMPLETED)

Chapter 40

Arjun's POV:

Wearing his school uniform he was sitting on the couch waiting for me...his tiny head was bowed while little fingers and palms were pressed tightly

Taking my bike keys I somewhat squealed to get his attention "Ready champ??"

But I didn't get any response instead I heard a soft sob...

Getting on my knees in front of him I took his puffy face in my large palms and made him look at me and my heart felt numerous pangs...

A thick stream of tears pouring out continuously from his red puffy eyes cascaded down wetting his neck and my eyes welled up automatically

His nose was running too...

"Baccha??"

The moment I whispered his name he threw his arms around my neck and hide his face in my crook

I couldn't survive his sobs...so painful they were

Wrapping my arms around him I stood up while he locked his legs around my waist...

Maa came out of the kitchen while Baba came out of the bedroom only to see their baby crying in my arms...

They were worried as hell...

While all of us tried to relax him his sobs only grew louder and louder wetting my neck

He wasn't even speaking...Maa began crying as well...Baba had to compose her

She was blaming herself while Baba had the same feeling that he didn't show on his face...

I gestured Baba that I'll handle Aaru asked him to console Maa...

I kept walking to and fro caressing his back and whispering soothing words
to him and showered kisses on his head

After long 20-30 minutes his sobs were silenced but his hiccups were still on...

I walked to the kitchen and settled him on the kitchen slab right next to the sink...

I wiped his face with water and his tear stains were gone but his eyes turned more puffy and red...

Adding his favourite orange flavour Glucon D to a glass of water I handed the glass to him...

Without speaking a word he silently gulped it while I brushed off his baby hair from forehead

Once he was done he opened his arms asking me to carry him and I did that happily...

Carrying my baby I came back to the living room and with him on my lap I settled on the sofa giving an assurance glance to Maa Baba...

His face was still hidden in my arms while my hand continued stroking his back and caressing his head Baba broke the silence "Champ??"

"I don't want to go to school" whispering in my ear he just nuzzled his nose in my neck and tightened his hands around me...

"Ok we are not going to school today" I announced loud so that Maa Baba could get it...

"Not only today...I am NEVER going to school" he whispered again and squeezed my neck with his fingers asking me to say yes for his fear

"But bacc-

And before I could speak further I felt hot tears on my neck again "Pl..Pleaasee"

I couldn't take it any more...

I pulled out his head from my neck and cupped his face "Shhh...please don't cry baccha" and before I could know my cheeks were already wet...

Baba sat next to me and pulled him on his lap "My champ is crying...this is not fair" saying he kissed his cheek
