Early in the morning, Arnav came inside his room after jogging, he saw Khushi brushing her hair

standing in front of the mirror. Khushi stare at him through the mirror, she smiled sweetly but Arnav ignored her and went to the bathroom to fresh up.

"Can't you smile at least for me Chocolate milkshake?" Khushi shouted seeing him going towards the bathroom.

Arnav turned back to her glaring, "Stop these choco talk with me!! It's getting irritating.."

"Woh Chocolate milkshake because you're sweating now.. After jogging, my Chocolate boy is melting now and I can only call you milkshake. But don't worry my Chocolate, be it to eat or to drink, I'm sure you're delicious in both ways.." Khushi winked at him smiling.

Arnav rolled his eyes and got inside the bathroom closing the door on her face. Khushi laughed and went to Aashi's room.

Reaching in Aashi's room, she got surprised seeing Aashi playing with her doll in her bed alone.

" Baby are you awake?" Khushi asked sitting with her on the bed.

"Yes! Aashi wakes up eally (early) to see Papa.. Aashi only see Papa in moning and at night velly late..Aashi missy Papa when Papa not hele (here).." Aashi explained in her baby language, that she wakes up early to be with Arnav as he reaches very late at night because of his work and she keep missing him all day.

Khushi lifted her and made her sit on her lap, kissing her forehead warmly, "But now Aashi has friend na? Aashi will not miss Papa all day. I've decided so many games to play with you.."

"Yaaaay!! Which gameeeees?" asked an excited Aashi clapping her small hands.

"It's secret!! Anyone can hear here, let's go to the bathroom and I will tell you everything.." Khushi whispered to her smiling.

Aashi giggled and nodded. Both went running inside the bathroom.

"Oops." Aashi hit her forehead lightly, "Papa says no talkie talkie before blushing teeth.. Aashi bloke (broke) rule.."

" Aww Your papa is correct! But we will not say to anyone that Aashi broke rule, and Aashi will also remember what Papa says.. Right?" Khushi asked caressing her cheeks.

"Light (right)!!" Aashi smiled showing her teeth, "Friend please gimme my toothblush.." Aashi pointed, since she couldn't reach that height still.

Khushi nodded and took her toothbrush, then lifted her to help her brush her teeth, but Aashi didn't want.

"Friend I know how to blush.. Let me show it to you.." she said snatching the toothbrush from

Khushi's hand.

"No baby let Friend help you.." Khushi said but Aashi refused.

She wanted to do it alone, Khushi sighed staring at her while she smiled sheepishly to Khushi.

"I will bath you and that's final OK?" Khushi said and Aashi nodded.

*********************************************

"No.. Aashi don't want this dress.." Aashi rejected the fourth dress Khushi choose for her.

Khushi nodded and chose another one for her. When she turned Aashi was giggling.

"Naughty girl! So you're doing this intentionally ahn.." Khushi placed her hands on her hips, smirking

at Aashi.

Aashi giggles and started running on the bed from Khushi who was coming to her. Khushi held her and

Aashi screamed laughing, "Solly..solly.."

"Why are you saying sorry my Sweetheart? Don't need to say solly.." Khushi kissed her forehead, "Your papa must be waiting to have breakfast with you, so choose one dress you like.."

Aashi obediently picked one yellow and white dress, Khushi dressed her up.

"What the.." and they heard a known voice coming from the door side.

Khushi and Aashi turned to see him standing with a shock and angry expression.

"What the hell? What is this? You let Aashi mess up her room like this.. What kind of mother are you?! You're not a KID Khushi.." Arnav said pointing to the mess the room was right now.

"She is a child still.. Let her do what she wants.. I will clean the room later.." Khushi glared at him for scaring Aashi.

Arnav understood Aashi's frightened look at him. He walked to her who was standing on

the bed.

"Papa is solly.." he said in a baby language, brushing his forehead against hers. Khushi looked at him amused, it's like the first time she saw him so sweet and her heart just like Aashi's melt by seeing his gesture.

Aashi hugged him tightly.

He hugged her back and then left her on the floor.

Aashi went running outside the room to meet her family. While Khushi stayed in the room with Arnav, who watched his daughter going.

"Even I deserve to hear sorry from you..don't you think so?" Khushi raised her eyebrows.

"No, I don't think so! What have you been doing till now? You're always playing like a kid with Aashi. What about doing your mother duties?" Arnav frowned.

"Oyee hello! Maa hoon, Mother India nahin.." Khushi said crossing her arms.

"It's useless to talk with you!" he said and went from there.

*******************************

"Chote I was thinking that we should organize a reception party so that everyone knows that Khushi is your wife and not Sheetal.." Anjali said while they were having breakfast.

"No need.." Arnav replied curtly.

"Admit it you're hell embarrassed that your bride ran away leaving you alone! And at that party,

everyone will feel pity for you while they will appreciate my courage for marrying you at last minute.."

Khushi giggled sheepishly covering her mouth with her palms.

Arnav glared at her, while everyone else were stuffing the food on their mouth to not laugh at the already angry Arnav.

He stood up and Khushi went to take his bag, wallet and car keys in their room. She came back and handle it to him, Arnav just snatched his belongings from her hands harshly and went from there.

Nani smiled seeing Khushi doing wife duties for Arnav. She felt so happy that Khushi has respect and is a traditional girl who she always searched for Arnav.

"Khushi you don't take Nannav seriously. His anger his famous all over the world ok?" NK said winking.

"I don't know how you all bear him?! If it was for me, I would give him two slaps and he would come on right track then.." Khushi said and sat with Aashi to feed her.

"Hello hi bye bye!! Khushi bitiya you're so brave that you dare to think of slapping the great ASR.."

Mami said shocked.

While everyone were with wide eyes staring at Khushi.

"I think and I can do it also.. Dadu said to me, never be scared of anyone, they can have power,

money and high status but at the end they are human like us.." Khushi said proudly.

"He said truth Khushi.." Anjali smiled.

"Rani Sahiba don't even think of slapping me now.." Shyam pouted.

Akash was lost in his thoughts caressing his cheek with a pout.

NK noticed him and chuckled,

"Thinking about Payalia's slap!"

"Shut up NK! No one should listen to this..My Sweet Anklet slapped me because she doesn't know that I'm a good boy and I don't want to use her.."Akash glared at him.

********************************************

It was afternoon, only Khushi, Mami, Anjali and Nani were at home. NK was outside with his friends, while Akash and Shyam were at work.

Khushi was trying to make Aashi stop crying, because she was

missing Arnav now.

"Khushi this happens everyday! At this time she always start missing Chote and he can't leave his work to come to her everyday.." Nani said worried, trying to show Aashi her toys. Aashi cried throwing

everything Nani was giving to her.

"Papaaaaa.." she buried her face on Khushi's chest crying.

Khushi thought for a while and took her phone. She called Arnav.

"Hello?" she said as soon as he picked her call.

"Say Headache!" he rolled his eyes recognizing her voice.

"Aashi is crying a lot, you know why! So can I take her to outside? She will feel better.." Khushi said.

"Why are you asking me? You're her mother now, so you should know what's good or bad for her. It's up-to you to decide.." he said.

"Laad governor can't he say a simple "YES"! But I'm glad he trust me to take decisions for Aashi.."

Khushi smiled thinking.

"I wasn't going to ask your permission either! I just thought to INFORM you so that I don't get caught with those two man in black.." Khushi smirked.

"And let me INFORM you know that you should take those two men in black wherever you go!" Arnav said.

"Aww no! I won't feel comfortable.." Khushi widened her eyes.

"It's not for you. It's for Aashi's security.." he said.

"Kids shouldn't live caged. I agree you're thinking for her safety, but she like every kid of her age want to go outside freely without anyone behind them like they are controlling her steps. She will feel

irritated and upset that other kids roam around with only their parents and normally, while she's always with those men in black. She will feel she's different from others, when she's not.." Khushi

said.

There was a silence suddenly and Khushi waited for his reply

"OK! Be careful.." she heard him saying and hang up the call.

Khushi looked at Nani, Mami and Anjali, who were eager to know Chote's reply.

She just jumped from the sofa smiling, "He said yes!"

"Wow Khushi! Chote never heard of any of us but you know how to handle him!" Anjali said as she

came out of shock.

****************************************

Aashi stopped crying by the time she reached in a beautiful house filled with kids playing in a huge

garden outside.

She hugged Khushi's leg shyly, "Friend whele ale weee?"

"Friend doesn't like to see Aashi cry, so Friend thought to take Aashi to meet new friends. So that Aashi smile everytime.." Khushi lifted her, and Aashi's doll fell on the process.

Khushi's eyes landed on

her doll, she bend with her Aashi on her arms to take, "Alee Aashi's doll fell.." she said smiling, and

Aashi giggled.

"Khushi Didi.. Khushi Didi.." the kids came running to her with a huge smile playing on their lips.

"Hello kids.." Khushi smiled to them.

"Hello kids.." Aashi waved at them smiling, and everyone laughed.

"Khushi didi who's this baby?" the kids asked curiously.

"My daughter.." Khushi replied, caressing Aashi's hair and placed a soft kiss on her hair.

"What????" everyone asked shocked. Khushi looked at them startled, then she realized what she just spoke to them and bit her tongue.

"You never told us Didi!" the kids complained.

"Girl! When did you got married and kid so fast? Oh my God, did you download this baby to get so

fast?" came an elder funny man, named Johnny.

"Johnny uncle.." Khushi whined, "I will explain everything to you and Mary aunty! Can we go inside

now?" Khushi asked to which the elder man, owner of this NGO nodded.

"Friend Aashi want to play with them.." Aashi said patting Khushi's shoulder and eying to the kids.

Khushi let her feet touch the grass, she smiled and asked the kids to take care of Aashi. The kids nodded and promised to take care of this beautiful baby.

Aashi was so excited to play with so many kids, there was huge smile on her face and she was jumping up and down.

Khushi watched her while talking to Johnny and Mary.
