He nervously replied ' yeah ... its ... its for Aria ... I thought I should give her since she wanted the gift from both of us'

I stopped doing everything n looked lovingly n a little emotionally to him ... he brought something for Aria for the first time ... I replied ' Alex... I.. its great...she will be so happy ... she is in our room watching cartoon movie .. '

He said ' actually I was thinking you should give that to her'
