"He was called by the police" Salem answered. He handed Rahul to Priyanka. "The boy kept on chanting your name."

"I told him to call you Mommy" Aanya said. She was trying to climb the chair and sit like her aunt.

Priyanka took him into her arms. She kissed his little forehead "I will take care of the children. Dinner will be ready soon."

Salem nodded. He was avoiding her gaze. She understood that it was not his fault. Whoever told them about Atharva must have had a string Evidence.
