"Daaddaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Cha....huuuuuuu...."

A little girl of five years came inside the room sobbing. Well, not literally crying but pretending to cry. Her little pigtails and dust filled uniform could give anyone a vivid idea of what must have happened. While a lady who was making the servants immediately grew anxious seeing her, She rushed towards the little soul and scooped her up. However two well-built men came and widened their eyes seeing their heartbeat crying. The lady was about to say something when a voice roared,

" ROOOHIII!"

Hearing the voice Roohi started sobbing more. While seeing their daughter crying, Roohi's father, Sidharth roared louder than her mom.

"SHEHNAAAZZZZ!"

Yes, the little soul was none other than Roohi Sidharth Verma. The well built men were none other than Adhiraj and Sidharth, He glared at Shehnaaz. He absolutely hates when someone eyes his daughter, Roohi is his soul and hence he named her Roohi.

Roo:- Dadda! Mumma ne phir se daanta!

Roohi sobbed pushing her little head into Sidharth's neck. While Shehnaaz sighed and was about to say something when Adhiraj, Deepti, Maanvi all bombarded her with questions.

Adhi:- haan! Bhabhi! You shouldn't have scolded her.

Man:- Haan! Adhiraj is correct! Bhabhi! Laddu ko kabhi bhi aap nahi daant te! Lekin Humari Nanhi si Princess ko Humesha Daant te hain!

Deep:- Bhabhhiii Aapki itnnniiii Himmat meri Kuddu ko Danta aapne!

Shehnaaz sighed and looked at them being all tired as if this has become a tradition. Whenever She tries to scold Roohi, either Sidharth or the rest of the family comes to her rescue.

Sh:- Roohi! Go to your room!

She said calmly while Roohi was about to say something when Roohi was about to sob louder just then, Saana roared.

Sh:- ROOHI VERMA! IN YOUR ROOM! NOWW!

Sidharth was about to say something when She showed him her palm. There, Sidharth knew that, something big must have happened. Fearing Saana's anger, Manvi quickly picked up Roohi and went towards her and Harshad's room. Harshad, Harshad Adhiraj Verma. Son of Manvi and Adhiraj, who is popularly known as Laddu among the family members. It was his 'Baddi Mom' who named him. 

Harshad was studying in his room, when he noticed Roohi entering the room with his mother. He scrunched up his face, seeing his sister in a messy state. Likely to other Verma's, Harshad too was a very protective brother whenever it has came up to his sister. He couldn't even bear a single scratch on his sister, He immediately dropped his pencil and went towards Manvi,

Harsh:- Mummaaa! Princess kyu ro rahi hain? Kisne kya kaha meri Choti si sister ko?

He said in a babyish tone but his tone was filled with anger and protectiveness. While Manvi sighed seeing the 'BEST BROTHER' avatar of his son rising up.

Roo:- Mumma ne Daa..data Bhaiyu

Roohi said in her baby gibberish tone. While Harshad clenched his fist looking like a raged cute red cat. Though he was young enough but his temperament was just a mixture of Adhiraj's and Sidharth's.

While on the other hand, Sidharth was glaring Saana who was not able to meet his fierce gaze.

Sid:- Saana! What's wrong with you? What happened?

Shehnaaz gulped the lump in her throat and was about to say something when Harshad came down pulling a sobbing Roohi.

Hars:- Badi Mom! Aapne meri sister ko kyu daata? Why you made her cry?

Harshad cried hugging Roohi in his brotherly embrace while Deepti smiled seeing the brother-sister bond. She was remembering those days when Sidharth and Adhiraj used to protect her from their mother's scolding. While Saana's ferocious eyes softened and looked at her laddoo.

Sa:- Laddoo! Baccha Reason hain isiliye daanta hain!

She said cupping Harshad's face while  he nodded defying his badi maa for the first time.

Har:- No Badi Mom! Meri Sister ke Aankhon mein main ek aansoo nahi dekh sakta! Kyu Daanta aapne! Kyu...Kyu?

Harshad too cried this time while Saana sighed and nodded her head saying,

Sa:- Thik hain! Aapko Jaan na hain na why your sister did so! I will say you! Lekin Aapko uske baad Khudh decide karna hain ki Aapki Sister wrong hain ki nahi! Not even Papa aur Bade Papa aur Bua will say anything!

She said when Sidharth and the rest of the family grew more curious. Just then, Saana called out one of the servants.

Sa:- Malini!!

A lady in twenties entered the Haveli along with a little girl of probably Roohi's age. Her hair was messed up, uniform was dirty, Roohi widened her eyes seeing that girl. Sidharth frowned seeing the servant,

Sid:- Yeh toh humari ghar ki koi ek maid hain aur uski beti!

Saana nodded her head and looked at Roohi whose eyes were moist and widened out of fear. She gulped the lump in her throat and looked at Sidharth then at Adhiraj followed by Harshad.

Sa:- Sidharth...This is Gudiya! Malini ki Beti! Jise Humne Uski Khudki Abilities par humne humare School mein dakheela dilwaya tha. Aur Aapki Raaj Dulari ne Isi Masooom Bacchi ko Aaj bully kiya hain! I...I can't believe this Sidharth! Humari Bacchi aise! Pata hain kya bola hain iss masoom si jaan ko! Pata hain kya bola hain isne! Kaha hain ki, Humne Daya khaa ke Isko Bheek mein Admission diya hain. Bheek mein isko humne Ghar pe rakha huwa hain! Seriously? Roohi! Usne Yeh tak kaha hain ki Arrey Naukar ki Beti hain usi aukaat mein rahein and you know why she said this? Because Gudiya ko Seat nahi mil rahe the baith ne ko toh She asked Roohi whether she can sit with her or not! She not only abused her but thrased her when Gudiya asked the teacher for help, she was like ki How dare you complaint to the teachers about the chief's daughter. Now tell me is this what we are teaching her? Maine toh Kabhi yeh nahi sikhaya? Nahi Ghar ke kisi bhi insaan ne!

She said with moist eyes, while Sidharth looked Roohi with a disappointed eyes. Harshad who was clutching her tightly, Loosen her grip understanding what his Badi Mom said. Harshad sighed and knelt down infront of Saana holding ears,

Hars:- Am so sorry Badi mom that I doubted on you. I am so sorry Badi Mom that I was stubborn and was not ready to hear you.

He said when Saana nodded her head with a softened eyes and picked him up,

Saan:- No Mera Baccha! Aapne Wohi kiya jo koi bhi Bhai karega! You have always tried to be the best for your sister.

Harshad nodded when Saana put her down. He moved towards Roohi and caressed her hair but what He said, was enough to stun everyone except Saana who was feeling proud on her son.

Hars:- Roohi! Jaao jaake Sorry bolo Malini Taai aur Gudiya ko! Roohi, tujhe pata hain log kab tujhe respect denge aur Pyaar karenge when you will give them respect, when you will be nice to them. Haan Roohi hain tu Mukhiya ki Beti aur main Beta lekin Isse Yeh saabit nahi hota ki Humare pass kuch bhi karne ka power hain! Kal ko Log tujhe bolenge arrey dekho kitni Nakchari Ladki hain, Mukhiyain ne toh koi Adab hi nahi sikhayi hain. Tujhe accha lagega? Insaan kitna bhi Rich kyu na ho! Humesha usko sabki respect karni chahiye chahe woh tumse chhota ho ki Bada ki Same age ka.

He said making her understand, this was the first thing which Saana taught him when he was of four. It made her happy the way he remebers all her teaching and she is thereby feeling successful for putting such ethics into him, after making her understand. He looked towards Saana and said ever so innocently,

Harsh:- Maine Thik kaha na Badi Mom!

Saana nodded and chuckled cupping his face, pecking his forehead. While Roohi who understood her fault, she quickly went towards Malini Taai and Gudiya, held her ears and apologized to them. Making Saana smile a bit, after clearing all the mess, Saana was making Harshad and Roohi sleep in their room when Roohi said,

Roohi:- Mumma! Papa naraaz hain kya? Ek baar bhi Papa aapne Princess se Milne nahi aaye!

Shehnaaz sighed and ruffled a sobbing Roohi's hair saying,

Sa:- Naraaz thodu sa toh honge hi na meri jaan! Tu ne Aaj bohot Galt kiya! Aaj Dinner ke baad you will go to your Dadda! You know na Papa yaa Chote Papa Aapse Naaraz nahi reh sakte! Hain na mera baccha?

Roohi wiped her red eyes and nose and drifted off to siesta, nodding her head. Making Saana chuckle, She was the perfect combination of Sidharth and hers. She remembered that Andaman tour of them.

SHEHNAAZ'S POV

Walking down the memory lane, six years back I remembered what happened with and how much I was happy after one particular news.

Flashback

After getting kidnapped, I was kept in a dark room. Just then, I scrunched up my eyes, not able to take in the sharp rays of the lights. That's when, I heard people screaming

"HAPPPPPYYYYY BIRTHHHHDAYYYY SHEHNAAZ!!!"

hearing that I opened my eyes when I saw the whole beach beautifully decorated with balloons and fairy lights. Just then, I saw my whole family was standing there and a beautiful chocolate cake was on the centre Table. Wait! Did he knew that it's my birthday?

Sa:- Sid...Sidharth Aap..Aap yeh sab kab kiya aapne?

I said choking on my voice when he chuckled and came towards me, Kissing my forehead. He didn't reply but only asked me in a hoarse voice,

Sid:- Did you like it?

I was baffled for a moment. I..I mean who doesn't like these things and when your husband is doing all these when he really doesn't knows a ounce of Female Garments and all this celebrations, these things was absolutely out of his league. The man who has never even boiled a water of his own has arranged all these of his own. Only a fool will not like all these, I nodded chuckling.

Sa:- I loved it Sidharth.

The moment I said, he sighed and pulled me in a tight hug. Then, suddenly to my astonishment, he picked me up in his arms and made me stood on a circle near the Centre table. The circle was made up of all kind of rose petals, I looked at him being all emotional. After cutting the cake, I fed him the first bite followed by the rest of the family. I was busy with Maanvi when Sidharth called everyone making me frown looking at him. Now what is my man upto?

Sid:- Now! Comes the gift for Saana! Deepu please hand me over that plastic.

Wait! What? A plastic bag with a name of city hospital. Just then, He handed me over the papers. Reading the papers, I was perplexed. It was a pregnancy report. Getting all the hints, and reading the 'POSITIVE' word, My eyes went moist when he knelt down on his knees and hugged my tummy tightly. Placing several pecks on my it, he stood up and smoothered my face with innumerable wet kisses. Coming back to earth, I giggled and looked at him for a last confirmation through eyes. When he smiled widely and nodded his head, making me hug him back tightly.

Everyone present there was awestruck by seeing such reaction was ours. Maybe Sidharth has kept it as a secret from them, Sidharth turned towards them and said chuckling holding me by shoulders,

Sid:- Shehnaaz! Shehnaaz is Pregnant!

He announced making everyone happy, everyone was happy. While My mother-in-law who couldn't understood the English phrase, she came up to my husband and asked,

Asha:- Kya huwa hain Sidharth? Sab aise jhoom kyu rahe hain?

Sidharth and I smiled looking at eachother and then he rubbed my arms saying,

Sid:- Maa! Aap Daadi banne wali ho! Main Baap! Saana Maa! Haan Maa! Shehnaaz Garvvati hain!

He said when I caressed my tummy, Is there really a life nurturing within me, I clutched his hand tightly. After a while when Everyone was busy in the beach party, Sidharth and I was sitting by the beach, hearing the relaxing susurration of the waves. I looked at him when He kissed my forehead and I kept my head on his shoulder. Embracing the beautiful feeling of becoming a Parents after a little span of nine months. We didn't need any words to confess our love for eachother tonight.

FLASHBACK END

I still remember how bonkers Sidharth went, when the doctor said him that it was a baby girl. He couldn't even imagine that he was a father of a daughter. He literally distributed Sweets, Clothes among all the villagers even he doubled up everyone's salary on the euphoria of being a father of a daughter, He even kept three occasions where he fed all the villagers their three times meal on the beatitude of having a girl child. I was standing there witnessing all of this with a smile of contendness, Even Adhiraj Bhaiya too pampered her like anything else since her birth. Sidharth, Adhiraj Bhaiya even my Laddoo, all the family members has always pampered her like a flower petal. They even hates when someone raise their voice upon her for which I have been scolded for nth time from my mother-in-law. Thinking all this, I smiled and moved outside the room.

*
It was night, when I was arranging the closet, while my husband was busy doing something in a file. Just then, I heard a knock, sighing I opened the door only to see my both the munchkins standing there. Smiling at them, I absolutely knew why they were here. I gave them way to enter the room, Roohi walked towards her father and called him ever so lovely. Ohhh My Baby!

Rooh:- Daddaa!

She called her but didn't got any response. She hugged his arms tightly, the sight was so adorable that I could any moment chuckle. Our daughter was literally clinging on her father's arm looking like a Mice infront of a Lion.

Roohi:- Daddaaaa!

She again nudged with her tiny fingers on his tough biceps. Again, seeing no movements of his father, My baby again tried to touch Sidharth but this time, he called me.

Sid:- Jaan! Take her out please! I don't want to talk to bad girls.

He said though I know, How much Sidharth loves our daughter but at times he has always been a strict father. He has always spoils her with every possible things on planet earth no matter what the time must have been. However hearing this, out daughter broke down into a fits of sobbs.

Roo:- Da..Daddaa...Pweesshhh! Soyiiii!!!! Roohi kabhi nahi boyegi....Pweeshhhh Daddaaa! Baat kijiyeeee naaaa! Daddaaa pweeshhh!!!!!! Roohi ni hain Bad girl...Daddaaa!

Not able to hold himself, Sidharth hugged his daughter tightly and shushed her. While Harshad too apologized to Saana for his ill- behaviour to which Saana forgave her happily as he was just like her own child. While Harshad left the room, Sidharth cradled her close to his chest when Saana sat beside the duo and caressed their daughter's hair.

Sa:- Sidharth...I know aaj aapke liye! It was very tough to make your daughter cry but yeh uski bhalayi ke liye hi hain!

He nodded and made his daughter sleep while He held Saana's hand and took her to their balcony. Making her wear an silver anklet, he kissed her foot and then lied down on the mattress with his wife on chest. Just then, She mumbled.

Sheh:- Thank you So much Sidharth. Thank you For coming into my life. Haan! Begining mein I used to hate you alot but then something magic Happened ki mujhe uss Rakshasi dil mein bhi thodi si Acchai dikhai di and  then Main aapko pasand karne lagi,
Maybe just because you held my hand during the correct phrase of my life. Now, That I have you, I feel so completed, Jaise ki Aapke Baahon mein hi Main Mehfooz Reheti hu.  Thank you for Everything Sidharth, for Loving me, For caring about me jab main Khudh sayad Apni Care nahi Ki. I love you Sidharth. I really Love you.

He chuckled and hugged her tightly and said after placing multiple pecks on her hair,

Sid:- Saana! Thank you! Ki tune Mujhe Heal kiya that time! Despite of my lakhs of toxicity, tune Kiya, tune mera saath nibhaya! Humesha! Har Pal. Haan Gussa bhi kiya but gusse mein bhi Mujhe tera submission to my dominance, that pyaar dikhta hain! Tune mujhe ek Haivaan se Insaan banaya hain! Tune mujhe aur mere Parivaar ko sahi disha di hain! And I can't feel enough Proud about the fact ki Am the only man in your life. Am Sorry Jaan! I misunderstood you so many times! But Jabse teri mujhse shaadi huwi hain na, mujhe kabhi kisi aur khayal tak nahi aata tha demaag mein. As if it was all you, since the beginning!

With that They sealed their lips. While the stars witnessed a beautiful love journey of being a Forced Bride to being the Willing and a happy Bride. Life was indeed Beautiful when you have the right person just beside you. Sidharth being the Heartless chief, his heart only peeked out when he saw that beautiful fairy walking and running through the farms of his brothers while hers was a bit tricky one.

She never felt that loving him would be a bad idea. And so she did, She allowed himself to fall for her Husband. , for her turned out to be a bliss in disguise of forceful Marriage and a Dominant Husband. She didn't even realise when she fell for her Monster. Her Husband. The Love of her life.
