Khwaish Part 17

( credit goes to deepali for making it for khwaish :D )

Khwaish’s fever came down slowly by the evening and she was again back to her chirpy self gradually , though not as she always does but enough to make her parents  calm and not to be worried for her .

Khanak and shaan looked after her whole night , though she was fine and didn’t have fever but still they were worried for her , so they thought to look after her whole night . Khanak asked him to sleep and she will take care of her as he had to go office in the morning , shaan insist her to sleep as she already had a tired day due to  khwaish’s illness and said that  he will look after khwaish and will do some project work in his lappy but she was more stubborn then him  , he then had to agreed  but  asked her to wake him up if she needs anything  or if khwaish  wakes up or troubles her . she agreed and he  sets the alarm in his Iphone .

It was  around 5 :00 clock in the morning , when shaan  woke up  and turned to look khwaish and khanak , khanak  had slept too but her hands was  around khwaish , he smiled seeing her  posture  , shaan placed his hand on khwaish’s forehed to see if there is any fever , but she didn’t have any fever. Shaan bend down to kiss her forehead, taking care that she didn’t woke up and then he stepped down from bed and moved towards washroom.

He came back from washroom and saw khwaish sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes innocently, shaan smiled  seeing her but at the same time was worried that now khanak will woke up too hearing their  voice, he moved towards khwaish when he saw khwaish stressing her little hands towards him as if asking him to hold her .

He  came back and  sat beside her , hold her and embraced her  lovingly in his embrace  , bend down to kiss her hairs , khwaish squeezed her eyes , yawned and sat leaning on shaan’s  chest .

Shaan : sweetie  why did you woke up so early , hmmm ?

Khwaish just rubbed her face moving it here and there from  his vest  and  again sat leaning over him, shaan smiled seeing her this cute act and thought that khanak is so right whenever she accused him  for  not letting khwaish sleep and touching or kissing her or caressing her in her sleep as she woke up whenever she feels his touch over her. He sighed and bend down to see her , whether she is awake or slept , as  he bend down to see her face , she looked up at the same time, shaan smiled and hugged her tightly .

He take her out of  the room , so that khanak didn’t get disturbed by them, without creating any noice and  took his iphone along with him so that if it rings she didn’t get disturbed . He moved towards washroom of guest room , for freshening  up his little sweetheart . He let her stand above sink holding her safely  so that she didn’t get slipped from there, and  wiped her face with cold water , she giggled cutely as he opened the tab and placed his hand under it to take water for wiping her face , shaan smiled too  and wiped her face with cold water

Shaan : Badmaash , itna mazza aa raha hai na subah subah pani ka khel kar rahe hai papa toh ?

Khwaish just looked at him still smiling and then leaned over him again and started  rubbing  her face with his T-shirt ,

shaan : mumma ne yeh towel rakha hai na washroom mein , papa ki  shirt se thodi pochte hai , cutie pie :*

After that both father and daughter moved towards kitchen , holding khwaish in his arms , he  puts pan over gas to make coffee for him , and take out biscuit in a plate for khwaish . He simmered the  knob  of gas to let the milk boiled and came out of kitchen moved towards the Dining hall ,  switched on  LCD  and  started surfing the channels but stopped at news channel . He bend down and put khwaish over the mat laid above the floor, with her toys already scattered over it . she moved towards her toys and take her favorite doll  from it, she  started licking and playing with it lovingly and giggling at time. Shaan smiled seeing her , still wondering that how the little kids understands and can differentiate as to which are their favorite things .

Shaan : sweetie , sit here , I m coming back

Khwaish was too busy in playing with her doll, that she didn’t looked up at him , he moved towards the kitchen  to take his coffee . Came back taking coffee and biscuit in a tray and sat infront of her . he dragged her towards him holding her little toes .

Shaan : chalo papa ke saath buiscuit khayegi na khwaish ?

Khwaish looked at him with a sweet smile, turned herself to face him and then hugged him lovingly . she ate biscuit dipped in coffee with him, basically their  daily routine little game of around half an hour and then both were busy in playing  catch catch. Two hours passed  like that, after that she started whining  and chanting “mumma”

Shaan tried hard to console her, take her out towards the balcony to show her birds and animals , she kept quiet for a while but then again she lost interest in everything around her and whined  for her ‘mumma’  again .

Shaan gave up and take her inside their bedroom and kept her on bed , she immediately moved towards khanak , who was still sleeping deeply , khwaish sat beside her and placed her hand above khanak’s cheeks  and then leaned over her face , khanak moved slightly , opened her eyes slowly and found her daughter ‘s face above her, she smiled and put her hands over khwaish , dragged her above her to let her sleep by patting her head . Within few minutes khwaish  slept  peacefully  near her mother.

Shaan brought tea and coffee for them by that time and placed it on centre table and sat on the couch reading newspaper . Khanak  got up from the bed, moved towards the washroom and then came back to sit beside him.

Khank : whats the time ?

Shaan : its 8 :00 clock

Khanak : when did she woke up ?

Shaan : at 5 : 00

Khanak : you must have touched her ?

Shaan : I was checking her temperature

He justified himself and also prepared himself to get nice scolding from her .

Khanak : ya, don’t try to justify yourself , I know you , you just  can’t let her sleep , when you know that she wakes up by your touch , still you do that , you just don’t let her sleep peacefully.

Shaan  : ho gaya ?

Khanak : Kya ho gaya ?  I was not narrating a story of a movie or novel .

Shaan Laughed loudly at her reply , and dragged her towards him and squeezed her sideward.

Shaan : you look more adorable than  khwaish  when you  argue or fights with me

Khanak smiled and moved more closer towards him,hugged him tightly and kept sitting leaning over him , placing her head  above his chest . “ Really ??”

Shaan : no, I was trying to stop you from  speaking more

Khanak whacked him on his shoulder “Jerk”

Shaan laughed again and she kept staring him and  his laughter , she raised her chin upwards and placed her palm on his cheek and then both the lips sought each other finding solace in each other , and the feeling of eternity in each other’s arm, made the kiss more passionate . After few minutes his phone rings, it was from office , he moved to take the call and she moved towards kitchen for making breakfast for him.

They moved to their daily routine life after spending some beautiful moments together with morning tea and coffee

It was evening 4:00 clock …………..

 khanak came to kitchen for making tea for herself and milk for khwaish . she kept her at floor , nd moved towards the slab . Khwaish saw the basket containing potatoes and onion at one side of the kitchen , she immediately moved towards it and started scattering them  one by one from basket to the floor. Khanak looked back to see what she is doing and smiled seeing her act , but didn’t stopped  her and let her do . she was back to adding milk in her tea and filling the mug with milk , when her phone started ringing , she looked the screen it was from ma , she add milk into her tea and simmered the knob to let it boil and take her call.

Khanak was busy in talking to her ma , telling her all the little incidents happened with her in a day . It was her daily routine to talk to savita and madhavi  and tell them  about what all she did ,  how was her day and how much naughty khwaish became with each passing days and some of her naughty acts which makes them laugh. She was still telling her ma that how Jai had taught her playing with water and to splash it from bucket  or tub,  when  Suddenly she heard the noises around , she looked back and found that  khwaish was standing  holding the bucket and  is splashing water from that bucket  chanting “ chap ……chap ……..ahh…..hahah “ . She was giggling and laughing like she achieved greatest thing on earth. Khanak immediately moved towards her screaming “ Khwaishhhhhhhhh………….kya kar rahi hai ? “.  She asked ma to call later as her naughty daughter is trying to show the live demo of her act which she is narrating in her words to ma. She kept the phone down , switched off the knob of gas and moved towards khwaish.

Khwaish looked at her and then again started splashing the water from bucket  “ chap …..chap …..“

Khanak : badmaash ….. pitti khani hai ab aapko , hai na ?

Khwaish looked towards her with blank expression and stared her for few seconds and then screamed loudly towards khanak “ aaahhhhhhh ……”

Khanak was shocked for a while and then laughed inwardly but kept the stern expression over her face to not motivate her acts further

Khanak : Mumma ko daant rahe ho aap ? Kal aapko kitna  fever tha , aur abhi aap phirse kheloge     mum-mum se toh phir se fever ho jayega na ?

Khwaish  just kept looking innocently at her as if trying to understand her  mother’s words , then she leaned towards khanak and hugged her

Khanak smiled  and hugged her back  “ haan mumma ko chup karne ka  acha tarika sikha diya na papa ne aapko bhi ? …… bas pyari kar do , pata hai mumma apne aap shaant ho jayegi , hai na ?“

Khwaish  stood their hugging her , placing her head in her shoulders , khanak took her in her arms and moved towards their room for changing her clothes. She  undressed her , wiped her body with towel and applied powder over her , and then dressed her  with white cotton knee length  frock with frill at the end  , she looked angelic in that frock , khanak  kissed her cheeks and then  came back to the kitchen  holding her in her arms, khwaish looked towards the scattered water and potatoes and onions on the floor , pats khanak’s  shoulder 

Khanak looked back towards her and raised her eyes as if asking “what ? “

Khwaish showed her the messing floor , pointing her fingers towards the water and potatoes in  the floor .

Khanak : haan, pata hai , sab bikhra diya meri choti si gudiya ne , mumma sab sametegi , but before that we will have our tea , hai na ?

Khwaish smiled widely and leaned towards her placing her head in her shoulders.

Khanak squeezed her tightly “ my cutie pie…….I love you so much , muahh “

Khwaish Part 16

(Credit goes to deepali for making it for khwaish , thank ypu so much deeps , love you )

They reached back to Hyderabad after spending beautiful time with their family. Reached home during late at night, khwaish has already slept on their way, and khanak is holding her securely in her arms, covered her with soft blanket, so that she has proper and peaceful sleep. 

After reaching home , khanak take out the bed cover from their bed and kept down khwaish  taking care that she don’t wake up , otherwise it will be difficult to make her sleep again and they are not in condition to entertain her at this hour of night .

The morning rays peeped through curtains and reached shaan’s eyes , he opened his eyes fully in a surprise  and wondered about the time, he  immediately reached to his iphone kept on the side table of the bed , it shows  7 : 00 AM , he sighed and then kept his head back on pillows , but suddenly a thought  strike to his mind that why didn’t his alarm clock ticked  today at her usual time , he  turned to her side and found her  still sleeping like a cute and innocent child , he smiled seeing her and raised his hand to cares her , but as he touched her ,his expression changed suddenly in a shock, he immediately stir khanak and asked her to touch her , she also got worried  and looked back at him with pale expression .

Khanak : shaan she is burning with high fever.

Shaan didn’t say anything but immediately moved out of bed and went to have cold water and a cloth from washroom and asked Khanak to bring milk for her.

Khanak unlocked the main gates of their flat and take the milk packets kept outside their gates, came to kitchen and boiled it. Shaan started putting wet cloth dipped in cold water on her forehead, but she was still sleeping innocently without making any sound, khanak came with a bottle of milk after cooling it, and took her in her lap, and  started feeding her, after few minutes Khwaish  opened her eyes when her temperature starts decreasing , shanak heaved a breath of great relief, khanak keeps on caressing her head and talking to her. After she finishes her milk, khanak took her in her arms and started patting her back.

Shaan then take her from khanak and kept her in his lap

Shaan : Sweetie kya hua ? aaj papa ko uthaya nayi  ? See I got so late today.

Khwaish didn’t said anything but just looked at him and then leaned her head towards his chest , kept sitting there without doing or saying anything, shaan keeps on talking to her , but she didn’t respond and was sitting lazily in his lap. Khanak by that time brought morning tea and coffee for them, and took the tray towards the balcony to sit their and to change her mood by showing her random things,birds, moving vehicles, but  she just looked towards the direction they asked her to look and then  turned her head again and keeps looking to them sitting on their lap rotating her pretty eyes here and there.

Seeing the response of their so lively and chirping child since morning, who now became totally silent, makes them more worried and tensed, they were feeling emotional to see her response. It was their everyday routine to start their morning with her elated voice and she keeps on buzzing whole day.

Shaan started taking his coffee and gave her one biscuit and asked her to  dip it in his mug but she didn’t , she just keep holding biscuit in her hand , and moved towards khanak , hugged her , and then lay her head in her lap . Khanak cares her head lovingly, and khwaish again closed her eyes. Khanak took her  inside and kept her on the bed , covered her with blanket , set the temperature of AC, but didn’t switched it off as she knows that her daughter can’t sleep without AC and is so much like her father in this matter.

Shaan too came after them, khanak looked at him with almost teary eyes, shaan hugged her and asked her to relax, and it must be due to change in weather. He asked her to be ready by 11 AM to visit Khwaish’s doctor and then he will have to go back to the office as he is having one important meeting.

They took her to the doctor, who asked them to give her prescribed medicine timely and it was nothing to worry ….. Due to change in weather and environment children responds like that.

Shaan dropped them and went to his office again. Khanak took care of Khwaish whole day, and keeps on playing with her to uplift her mood, but all in vain, she just sits quietly and leaned on khanak’s lap and she keeps on caressing her back, forehead and head with love and affection.

It was evening when khanak’s phone ringed, she looked the screen and it was jai’s. Khanak answered it. She told him about khwaish’s health which worried jai too and he asked her to give phone to khwaish, khanak, takes her phone near her ear and tells her

Khanak : sweetie , see jai mama wants to talk to you

Khwaish looked at khanak and khanak asked her to hold the phone, jai starts speaking, and khwaish smiles lightly hearing his voice, which surprises khanak. Khanak smiled too and hugged her and kissed her forehead lovingly and finally she got relieved to see that her daughter smiled atlast, as they both are worried to see her like that, the house seems to be so dull, soulless without hearing their daughters chirping voice, she thanked jai for calling her and talking to khwaish and rhyming the poems for her which he used to tell her in Delhi, as she starts laughing hearing them as if understood everything.

Khanak:  Bro, it seems that she was missing you ………. I was feeling terrible to see her like this since morning, but now she is smiling and playing little, I hope she gets back to her normal self back soon

Jai : don’t worry khanak , she is a child and its normal for them to fall ill, don’t  take tension , by tomorrow she will be fine and again starts her masti , and makes you run after her for everything .

Khanak : jai ,earlier I used to complain about her acts but today when she is sitting quietly , don’t know why I felt terrible and though she is sitting with me whole day but I felt that she is not in home today , suddenly home seems to be so dull.

Jai:  I can understand sis, I m missing her a lot, and to uplift your mood I have a news for you

Khanak : Whats that ?

Jai : next week I will visit you guys , may be  for rakhi

Khanak : Wow ! Thats wonderful bro, I am so happy   and my little girl would be more happy to meet her mama here.

Jai: I am excited too

After having their little more talk about some here and there topics, they bid their ‘goodbyes ‘and kept the phone back.

Shaan came back from office and khanak told him about everything that how jai’s call make her change in her mood and finally her temperature starts decreasing too . Shaan felt happy to hear it ,  he was as worried as khanak was , he has an important meeting today otherwise he would have taken off for the day but cant , still he makes sure to call khanak and enquire about khwaish’s health after every hour.

Shaan bend forward to hold khwaish from bed took her in her arms and kissed her cheeks and forehead lovingly “Sweetie, how are you “, …………..Khwaish responds him by hugging and kissing his cheeks too…….. “Papa”

Shaan hugged her tightly and kissed her hairs “My little doll, …………..Papa’s khwaish“

Khwaish Part 15

( so cute , thanks deepali )

Shaan : not bad buddy.

Jai and everyone chuckled hearing it.

Shaan and khanak looked at each other, smiled and felt proud that their daughter listens to other people too other than her own parents,  it shows that they are flourishing the seed properly and in a right way.

Shaan : jai, I know that khwaish  and you became the good friends now , and that to a very special one , because she generally don’t listens to anyone easily , but I m surprised to see that she listen to you ,…………….. but I never knew that Aryan and you are good friends already .

Jai smiled : ya , One day he came to our house with ragini and it was Sunday , I was having an off , so we played whole day and visited mall also, then after that he sometimes come with madhavi aunty , whenever he doesn’t  have school.

Shaan and everyone smiled,………………. everyone knows that its natural for  a child to get attracted  towards  person with whom they get love and affection, Aryan being the child, who never got love from his mom, seeks to get love from others , and who ever cares for  him , defiantly he gets attached to that person.  

Khanak, always feel heavy hearted whenever she thinks about Aryan and immediately starts comparing khwaish in his place and what all would be the consequences , shaan looked at her and was surprised to see her nervous and eyes filled with tears , he immediately stretched his hands  and hold his hand , it was cold , he squeezed it lightly , she looked towards him helplessly , he moved to see it , …………………wanted to give her a tight hug but cant as they were sitting in a room full of people , but nodded his head as if asking her to stop crying and thinking so much , she composed herself and took a glass of water to gulp the lump formed in her throat .

Aryan immediately moved towards his room to bring the same boll for which tussles between the Khandelwal’s kiddo was fighting in the morning. Everyone was amused to see it , khwaish jumped with joy to see that boll again and leaned towards him to take it from him , but jai holds her securely so that she didn’t fall down , Aryan came towards jai

Aryan : Jai chachu , come we will play catch catch .

Jai : ok, chalo ……………. Khwaish bhi chalegi na ?

Khwaish  looked at him and then towards Aryan , tilted to hold  the boll again, but Aryan took it away so that she does not able to take it .

Khwaish again starts whinning  again, when she can’t able to have the boll again . shaan and khanak both nodded hopelessly to see the antiques of the duo . Jai laughed loudly seeing her naughtiness and not to give up attitude.

Jai : bilkul apni mummy par gayi hai

Khanak  looked at him with most killer look, while shaan laughed loudly  and thought to utilize the situation to tease her  and to divert her mood from Aryan.

Khanak : Bro , what do you mean by that ?

Jai : I mean you were also like that , keeps on fighting with me till you get what you wanted , aur wahi chahiye hota tha jo mein leta tha , phir mujhe hi sab samjhate the ki tu bada hai , dede and all .  

Khanak : Haww ! Liar I was not like that

Jai : you were, except it , kyun shaan ?

Shaan , who was laughing loudly, composes himself – “ ya , I agree with you “.

Khanak : You both always be on one side and left me  alone , no one takes my side , I hate you both, hmph.

Every one smiled widely at the way she spoke, and shaan felt like kissing her and hugging to see her cuteness , she is looking more adorable than khwaish at that time .

Khanak : ma , tell them  na , see how they are teasing me .

Ma : What do I say except that you three will never grow up , no matter how much your children will grow. Please don’t involve us in it, otherwise we will be in danger

Shaan : see , even ma agrees  in it, that is why she is staying out of it , otherwise you starts  crying.

Khanak : both of you friends are so  so bad , don’t talk to me now .

Madhavi came near khanak and sat beside her  , and hugged her and looked towards the duo -  “ you both , stop it , don’t you try to think that she is alone and you can keep on teasing her , don’t worry khanak , I m on your side .“

Khanak : Thanks mom, I love you

Shaan : Mom, this is not done , you always took her side , how can you go against your own son , your own blood .

Everyone present in the hall started laughing loudly seeing the way he spoke like a small child and the two kiddo’s was looking to everyone like a good audience without creating any noise or shouting in between as if trying to understand what’s happening .

Savita : madhavi , did you see why I m not speaking in between or taking any body’s side .

Madhavi : yeah , see the way he is blackmailing me emotionally .

Savita : they are more childish than khwaish and Aryan. See at these two kiddos, how quietly they are sitting and look at these three kiddo of ours, how they are fighting.

Everyone laughed loudly at it and three of them felt embarrassed. After having some more chatting and teasing of the friends, bro and sis duo, while khanak is feeding khwaish and aryan , everyone moved towards dining table for lunch . Khwaish moved towards shaan to sit with him , and he make her sit on his lap, and gave her a piece of carrot , so that she gets busy in chewing it while he takes his food . Aryan moved towards his room for a sweet nap after having a food from chachi.

In the evening ………………

Everyone is taking their tea and coffee , khwaish was laying on khanak’s lap and having  her milk , Aryan came towards jai with his  boll and asked him to play catch catch again, jai agrees to it . khwaish’s attention got diverted when she listens Aryan’s voice , she left the bottle and sat on khanak’s lap , stare towards Aryan and jai . ………….but they didn’t noticed her and started moving towards the garden , khwaish immediately slide from khanak’s lap and crawled towards them , everyone laughed to see her acts .

Khanak shouted to stop jai “Bro, she is coming after you

Jai looked back and found khwaish coming towards him , he moved towards her , bend forward  to hold her and kissed her cheeks , “ badmaash , you should have completed your milk “

Jai : Khanak , feed her , I m sitting here till she completes her  milk.

Khanak : Let it be jai , she won’t touch it now , you take her with you, till then I will do my packing, she didn’t let me do it whole afternoon .

Jai smiled and asked shaan to come along, they all moved outside to play , while elders people are back to talking and khanak moved towards her room .

In the garden ………….

Jai : Khwaish and I will be one team and shaan and Aryan in the other team

Shaan : okk

Shaan moved backward holding Aryan……………….. khwaish looked towards them and again she shouts “ aaaayyyyhhhhhh”................Shaan smiled and understands the reason for this , while jai was still confused ,

Jai : arrey , ab kya hua guddiya ko , kyun chilla rahi hai ?

Shaan : buddy, you better be on Aryan side and I  will take her , she can’t take it if I go on his side .

Jai : Gosh Really ? itna samajhta hai isko ??

Shaan : yup , sab samajhta hai , gundi ban gayi hai puri yeh

Jai smiled widely and gave khwaish to shaan and he moved towards Aryan who was still standing little away

Khwaish again started shouting when jai moves towards Aryan side and took a boll to throw towards them .

Jai and shaan looked at each other and laughed loudly,

Shaan :  Gunda baccha mera , sabko apne side kar legi kya ? , bhaiya akela ho jayega na phir , woh royega phir .

Khwaish listened to  him attentively as if trying to understand his words , curled her lips in an oval shapped . shaan smiled loudly and kissed her cheeks, “ Sweety pie mera “.

They continue their game for Aryan till he wants. khwaish was giggling and  laughing loudly  seeing the play when the ball comes and go  towards  her ……………………shaan and jai felt happy themselves to see the kids enjoying and to spend this beautiful moments with them before going back , to get busy in their own works.

Seeing the sunset and darkness spreading around, Jai again started feeling low that now it’s just few minutes left to enjoy with her and then she will go away from him with her parents, for an indefinite period, the moments spent with her was the beautiful and funniest moments  of his life , the whole week passed like a dream to him,……………. to play with her, to take her for walking, in the zoo, garden and to do crazy acts to make her laugh loudly,………..  He plays like a kid with her. Even He felt that this childish person in him, was unknown to him before meeting with khwaish,………when he remember the things they both did in the last week and how ma gets frustrated seeing the whole house and everything scattered on the floor………….but  he had to listens  ma’s scolding and  not only of his side but  of  her side’s  too as ma cant shout her , so he had to listens on behalf of both, but later  when ma finishes with  all her frustration , he just go , smile and hugged ma saying , ‘ ho gaya ?’ and ma whacked him lovingly. He smiled again remembering those things, shaan looked at him, came forward and waved his hand infront of jai’s eyes 

Shaan : Where are you ?

Jai startled and came back to present.  He decides and declared to shaan too that as he visits Bangalore frequently for meetings and conferences, so he will visit to them too for spending time with khwaish , shaan was happy to hear it and hugged him

Shaan :  it’s your home and your niece , you can visit anytime and she will be more happy to see you there

Jai : I will miss her a lot . How the week flew away didn’t even realized.

Shaan just smiled and jai stretched his hand to hold khwaish , she titled forward to go to him , which she rarely do if she is in shaan’s arm, but when it comes to jai , she goes to him lovingly .

They all moved inside and have their dinner with family before leaving. Khushboo and Akshay didn’t returned since morning, and called shanak for bidding them ‘Bye’, as their trip got delayed.

Everyone felt emotional to bid ‘good bye’ to them after spending beautiful time together. They hugged  shanak and khwaish too. Dadi gave an envelope in khwaish’s hand in the form of blessings, she took it immediately , khanak tried to take it from her hand to keep it safe in her purse , but khwaish didn’t left it, infact hold it more tightly ………………. after sometimes she  started shouting , “ aaahhhh……..” , everyone started  laughing seeing the tussle between  mother and daughter  and  hearing her shouting for  not giving the envelope to her mom.

Khanak : hey bhagwan ! gir jayega beta , give it to me , I will keep it safely.

Khwaish didn’t give it to her, but just keep it in her hold and attached it to her chest immediately as if saying her mom, ‘its mine, I won’t give it to you .‘

Madhavi : Aww,……… khwiash kya karegi rupee se  ? Chocolate layegi ?

Khwaish just smiled at madhavi, and looked towards envelope but didn’t give it to khanak.

Sunil : I will come to drop you .

Jai : no, uncle , you take rest , I m going with them.

They all moved out towards the garage and bid them ‘goodbye ‘ .

Khwaish Part 14

She keeps on whining and shaan was busy in cajoling her, then a familiar voice from the main door of the house make khwaish stopped from her whining mode .she looked towards the direction of the voice and giggled to see the person, surprising shaan again from her change in mode from whinning to giggling and he thought that how can a child less than a year understands things so well .

 Jai : Khwaish 

She gets ecstatic to see him and giggled to see jai approaching towards her with quick steps , and stretched his hand to ask her to come to him , she leaned towards him as if asking him to hold her , he did it and hugged and kissed her lovingly , then he swayed her in air upwards , while she keeps on giggling , spreading her beautiful laughter in the house . Jai then keeps on  talking to her that how much he missed her since she left , as if she is going to understand everything , she keeps on giggling and holding him , curled her little hand around his neck for support , shaan was surprised to no end to see how his daughter is becoming the ‘Jaan’ of almost everyone that no one can do anything but to love her and to play with her, ……..but  it’s her charm and naughtiness which attract people towards her , if someone is good with her and play nicely without irritating her with their squeezing hug or kisses , then she plays nicely with them too but if anyone does something or other which irritates her , then she never  liked to play with that person , no matter how much they try , all this things about her amused everyone whoever listens it from khanak or from shaan . 

People witnessing the scene between jai and khwaish were surprised to see the cute moment shared between them and smiled widely to see the bond developed between them in just few days . Savita too came behind Jai , but was stopped in her way to see how jai and khwaish ‘s meeting with each other . She then moved towards madhavi ……..hugged her . And then they all sat in the hall exchanging their well being.

Sunil : When will Mr. Sharma return back ?

Savita : he will be back by Tuesday . 

Everyone was then busy with talking to each other while khwaish was still in jai’s hold and shaan was sitting beside them, khanak moved towards kitchen to serve some juices and snacks .Shaan  unaware of her move , looked around to locate her but didn’t able to locate her , after few minutes madhavi asked one of the helper who was serving water , to call khanak from kitchen , shaan looked around to see if anyone is noticing him,  but none as everyone was busy in their own act. Dadi, sunil, savita and madhavi is having their own talk , jai and khwaish is busy in playing with each other and Aryan didn’t came out from his room since he went , he got up and moved towards the kitchen .

He moved inside with slow steps and snaked his arm around her waist and gave a deep kiss in her neck  immediately before she could understand anything , after getting back to her senses , she hold his hand which was on her tummy and tried to detach herself from his hold

Khanak : jerk , have some shame , what if someone will come inside ?

Shaan : so what ? m I doing some crime ? You are my wife and I have every right to do whatever I want.

Last line which he said with his husky voice gave a Goosebumps to her and she blushed hard but then immediately composes herself

Khanak : yes , it’s a crime to do this in kitchen .

Shaan : Really ?

Shaan : where it is written to not do it in kitchen ?  where should we do it then ? * wink *

Khanak : Jerk ! shut up and go out , and let me do my work , people are sitting outside, what will they think about us?  

Shaan : I don’t care , you are irritating me now , since morning I m seeing you doing all this ………..instruct  all this to ravi( Khandelwal's servant ) , and you come and sit with all.

Khanak : okk baba , let him back and I will instruct him .

Shaan : good

Then one of the servant came in the kitchen and shaan moved  little away from her , khanak  instructed helper  what all should be served , and then they both came out from kitchen .

Older people was still busy in discussing some issue , while jai then raised his eyes to see where shaan flew away , quickily his glance moved towards him as  he  saw  him coming out from kitchen with khanak , he  nodded hopelessly remembering that shaan isn’t change a bit.  

Jai : Dude , where did you escaped  suddenly ?

Shaan  said nothing but smiled sheepishly and then winked, jai smiled widely seeing it and nodded again . Just then Aryan came out of his room , and he moved towards jai .

Jai : hey champ ! where were you ?

Aryan : Jai chachu,  aap kahan they ?

Jai : mein apne ghar pe tha .

They did ‘Hi5’ and then jai moved giving space to Aryan to sit beside him too, Khwaish was looking all this with blank expressions, she tilted towards Aryan and  jerked her hand towards him “bupp” , everyone in the room diverted their attention towards her again and laughed loudly , but savita and jai being unaware of actual reason just smiled.

Madhavi : Gosh ! Aryan ko toh yeh thappad maar ke hi rahegi aaj .

Jai : Arrey baba re , itna gussa kyun aaya meri choti si gudiya ko ?

Shaan : Its all because of you jai  , I didn’t know that you are so naughty  and made her naughty and stubborn too .

Jai and everyone laughed loudly hearing the accusation by shaan .

Jai : Why ? what did i did ?

Madhavi : shaan , you yourself is more stubborn and so is your daughter now, I am happy to see it, now you will realize it how difficult it is to tackle such child.

Shaan smiled sheepishly

Jai : Exactly , it’s in her blood , both father and mother are stubborn , and so the child have to be.

Shaan :  still , she is surprising me to end since yesterday with her acts,  its all because of you only , aaj koi mila nayi usse masti karne wala toh  subah se toh bechare Aryan ke peeche padi hai . Pahle boll ke liye ladey aur abhi just tumhare aane se pahle car ke liye.

Jai chuckled hearing it : Aww…………… iseliye bhaiya ki pitti ho rahi hai ?

Jai  to Aryan : Beta , yeh dekho aapse choti hai na,  toh aap isse  dedo na apne toys khelne ke liye , phir woh  aapke saath acche se khelegi  aur pyari bhi karegi.

Aryan : chachu , yeh  mere toys le leti hai,  jo bhi mein leta hoon, wahi use bhi chahiye .

Jai : arrey beta , dekho woh  bas thodi derr toh khelege , phir toh chali jayegi shaan chachu ke saath wapis hydrabad .

Aryan : But yeh chillati bhi hai aur mujhse jhagda bhi karti hai , mein nayi dunga .

Jai : acchha , agar who aapko pyari karegi toh aap use khilaoge ?

Aryan : haan  

Jai cant stopped himself from laughing out loudly at the way Aryan is defeating himself as if whatever he is doing is all justified, because of her behavior towards him,  he then looked towards khwaish who was listening to the convo between jai and Aryan attentively as if going to understand everything. Jai hold her again, and raised her from his one leg to keep her in his other leg beside Aryan, kissed her forhead  : “ sweety , bhaiya  se shake hand karo “

Khwaish didn’t raised her hand, just looked towards jai for some time and then towards Aryan.

Jai : Mera , good girl baccha hai na , chalo bhaiya se shake hand karo aur pyari kar do .

Aryan raised his hand first , and moved towards khwaish , jai keeps on repeating the sentence , then finally she raised her hand too to shake it with him .

Jai : ab , ek pyari bhi kar do bhaiya ko .

Khwaish tilted towards Aryan and reached to his cheek and touched her soft pink lips on his cheek and came back to her own position.

Jai : Good girl , sabki baat sunti hai , hai na ?

Jai squeezed her lovingly and gave a soft peck on her hair and then hold her strongly in his embrace.

Shaan : not bad buddy.

Jai and everyone chuckled hearing it.

Shaan and khanak looked at each other, smiled and felt proud that their daughter listens to other people too other than her own parents.
