Enjoy the shot lovelies😘

"Ssh ssh.."

Arnav looked up from his laptop towards the opened door of the room, hearing the faint hushing but frowned in confusion to find none there. Thinking of it to be an imagination, he shrugged and focused back on his lappy.

But few seconds later, he again heard the same hushing. "Sshh ssh.."

This time the voice was a lot more clear and loud. Immediately, an amused smile spread over Arnav's lips as he recognized whom did this voice belong to. It was his little rabbit's. His princess! Seemed like, his daughter was in a playing mood right then.

Arnav looked up again and as soon as he did, he saw Amal pulling her head head back and hiding by the side wall. She wasn't visible to him anymore but he could see her shadow in the opaque glass of the door. Arnav smiled seeing his daughter's cute antics. Was she trying to get his attention or did she want to play peek-a-boo with him?

"Who is there?" Arnav decided to play along.

In response, he heard a small giggle but Amal didn't respond.

"Seems like a little naughty rabbit has come here and is trying to tease me." Arnav spoke out loud. "Should I go and check or should I ignore?"

Another giggle resonated in the air followed by the excited gurgles of Amal. She was clearly enjoying the situation and so was Arnav. He had a constant smile plastered on his lips.

"I should do my work only. The naughty little rabbit will go away itself." Arnav said loud enough for his daughter to hear and directed his eyes towards his laptop but all his attention was towards the door and on the tiny bundle of joy standing out.

"Ssh shh shh..." Two seconds later, his toddler whispered again.

This time, Arnav didn't looked up but just lift his eyes a little. A loved-filled chuckle formed in his throat as he saw Amal's head creeping forward very quietly and peeking inside the room. Her eyes were shining brightly with mischief and lips were stretched into the most beautiful & heart-warming smile. Her whole face was twinkling with happiness and excitement. Dressed in a denim dress and hairs tied into two cute pony-tails, Arnav's tiny fashion diva was looking extremely pretty.

"Looks like this rabbit is very mischievous. I think I should go and just chase it away." Arnav pretended to stand up from the recliner and within the blink of an eyes, Amal had pulled her head back and hid behind the wall again.

Arnav had to cough this time to befog his laughter. His Amal was a full-scale package of entertainment and craziness. Since the day she was born, he didn't had to look upon other means to enjoy. His daughter was enough for that. She had got all her cuteness from her mother.

"Leave it! Why should I go after this naughty rabbit? It will go away itself. Yes, I am not going." Arnav announced and bowed his head down again but obviously, his eyes were focused on the door only.

Two seconds later, Amal's head come forth again. She was covering her mouth with her little palm to avoid the uncontrollable giggles. Arnav didn't look at her and pretended to do his work. Pouting, Amal twitched her mouth and went back behind the door.

For few seconds, there was no movement from her. Maybe she was planning another trick to get Arnav's attention but daddy dearest decided to jump in now. Standing up from the recliner, Arnav very silently moved towards the door with a smile etched over his lips.

The sight which greeted him was extremely charming. His princess was standing by the wall, with eyes closed and finger tapping her chin. She looked on deep thoughts, trying to come up with a plan probably.

Biting his lower lip, Arnav crouched down to her level on the ground. He kept on looking at her face for few seconds before clearing his throat lightly.

Amal's eyes shot open and then immediately widened like saucers, upon seeing her daddy in front of her. Her palms flew up to cover her opened mouth and a gasp left her lips.

"Hawww!! Hey Devi Maiyah!" Her voice came out muffled.

Arnav chuckled. "Hi princess!" He cocked a brow, stroking her cheeks softly.

"Oh noh!" Amal exclaimed cutely and covered her eyes with her palms.

Arnav doubled over with the laughter as he saw his daughter, opening her fingers slightly and peeking at him through it. His mind instantly went back to the scene when he had found Khushi in his closet and she had reacted in the exact same way as now their daughter was doing.

"Daddy!" Amal whined seeing her father smile. "Yoh no laf(laugh) or I vaey(very) angy(angry)." She frowned her brows.

Arnav raised his hands in surrender. "Oh no no! Please don't do that princess. Don't get angry with me or else, I will become very sad and I might start crying too."

Amal giggled and wounded her arms around Arnav's neck, nuzzling her nose with his. "I yoh jaan? Yoh plinchis na?"

"Yes!" Arnav nodded and stood up from the floor, hoisting her in his arms too. "You are my jaan, my princess, my barbie doll, my little rabbit." He kissed her both cheeks.

"Yoh luv meh mosht na?" Amal inquired.

"Yes! I love my Amal the most." Arnav replied, smiling and saw a wave of pride flashing in his daughter's eyes.

He settled down on the bed, resting his back on the head board and made Amal sit on his stomach. She was enveloped in his arms completely and like every single time, Arnav was feeling his heart bursting with warmth, love and affection for her.

"Jaan, did you eat your food?" Arnav asked.

Amal nodded her head, caressing her tummy with a dreamy look. "Yesh daddy! I eat. Shoo yummy food. Jebi, aloo puli! Umm yummy!" She licked her lips too, lost in her food-land.

Arnav couldn't help the smile seeing her expressions. "Do you want to eat some more baby?" He asked, kissing her small hands lovingly.

"No no no!" Amal shook her head urgently. "My tummy ish full daddy. Shoo full! If eat moah, then my tummy BOOM!!" She gestured with her hands and widened eyes.

Arnav burst out laughing seeing her antics. His daughter was so precious.

"I hope some food is left for me too Amy!" He teased her.

"Uffo daddy!" Amal smacked her forehead with her palm. "I shay Amma shtop shtop, no moah jebi! My tummy full, but she shaid eat, eat, eat or no big girl like quiky. Awaysh shmall! No lishten to me!" She told about her helplessness.

"Oh my baby!" Arnav cooed. "Your Amma doesn't listen to me too. Anyways tell me, why my little rabbit was teasing daddy?" He asked.

"I shoo boh(bore). Amma ish bushy. Anji bua and Bali Nani too. No play with meh." Amal pouted, squinting her eyes.

"Oho! That's a very big problem." Arnav feigned seriousness.

"Yesh it ish! I shoo boh. No fun. I shad(sad) too! Shee! My fash(face) shoo shad(sad)" She pointed at her face, carrying an extremely sad expression.

Arnav chuckled again. "Please don't be sad princess, otherwise I will be sad too."

Amal nodded her head. "Yesh I noh(know) nah! I boh(bore) then i shad(sad) and then I cly and then yoh shad(sad) too and Amma too and Anji bua too and dadi too and bali Nani too. Evyonh shad becosh Amal shad! Shoo bad na!" She looked up at her father who nodded his head, snickering inwardly.

"Yes! And we can't afford so much sadness in the house right?! So tell me, what should I do to make my jaan smile?"

Amal leaned forward and rested her chin on her father's chest, with her palms cupping his face.

"Ouhting(outing) and iehkeem(ice cream) daddy!" She put forth her resolution, giving him the sweetest-of-all smile and blinking her eyes cutely.

"Ok." Arnav nodded and his daughter's eyes lit up. She squealed happily and started bouncing on him. Her giggles were echoing in the room.

"Daddy!! Yoh ah besht. I luv yoh shoo much. Yoh ah mah cutie pie, mah teddy beah, mah jaan, mah shona, mah plince chahming!" She expressed her unbound love, pulling her father's cheeks rapidly.

"Oh my God! I am do lucky. World's most beautiful baby and princess loves me so much. I am so honored." Arnav winked and Amal held up her chin proudly.

"Sho we goh? I ashk Amma too. We thlee goh togethah. Only ush! Me, daddy and Amma. Aww! Sho much fun." Amal clapped her hands in glee.

Arnav chuckled at his hoping bunny. An idea popped up in his mind to tease his princess a little.

"Yes we will go but there is a problem Amal. Daddy is so tired you see. I need something magical to wash off my wariness. Will you give me?"

"Wha yoh want daddy?" Amal frowned.

"The magical kisses." Arnav tickled her sides.

Amal giggled, throwing her head back and jumped on him excitedly. She leaned in and kisses Arnav's left cheek and asked, "Stih(Still) tied(tired) daddy?

Arnav pouted and nodded. "Yes baby. Still very tired. I need some more."

Amal's eyes twinkled as she leaned in again and kissed his right cheek. "One moah I give. It'sh speciah kissh. Noh moah tied now?"

"I am still tired." Arnav replied.

Amal giggled again and kisses his nose this time, nuzzling it with hers for few seconds. "Now no tied(tired)?"

"I still am." Arnav made a sad face.

Amal frowned and narrowed her eyes at him. "Daddy, yoh ah dama(drama) like Amma! Oh ho! Wha(what) I do? Sho much cazines(craziness)"

Arnav's lip quirked up in a smirk as he the biggest dram queen on Earth, accusing him of doing so. He started tickling her tummy mercilessly and Amal doubled over with her squeals and laughter.

"Daddy! Noh! Shtop daddy. Plshh! Ohh! Shtop daddy. Ok i give moah magic kisshesh. Shtop na. Daddy!!!" She continued to scream, trying hard to pry off her daddy's hands.

"Deal?"

Amal bobbed her head. "Yesh deah(deal)! Now shtop!"

Arnav finally stopped and gathered her in his arms again. "Start now!!"

Amal gurgled adorably and leaned in instantly, placing noisy wet kisses all over her father's face. She showered him with lots of kisses, his forehead, nose, chin, cheeks and finally a sweet peck over his lips too.

"Noh moah tied now, haina?"

Arnav grinned widely and pulled his daughter's cheeks fondly. "Yes! All my tiredness has run away. I got so many magical kisses from my baby na."

"Sho wo goh ouh now?" Amal asked, excitedly.

"Yes!" Arnav nodded and got up from the bed, taking Amal in his arms too.

"Daddy! I shit(sit) on yoh(your) shoders(shoulders) plshh."

Arnav chuckled and complied, making his princess sit on his shoulders and walked out of the room.

The father-daughter duo walked down the stairs to find Khushi sitting in the lounge with Nani and Anjali. They looked busy with some stuff and talking too.

"Khushi!" Arnav called out for her.

The three women looked up and smiled, seeing the scene in front of them. Amal was sitting on Arnav's shoulders, her legs falling on either sides of his neck and hands were entangled in his hairs, messing and ruffling them. She was pulling his cheeks too side by side.

"Arnav-ji.." Khushi stood up from the sofa and came towards them.

"Khushi come on! My baby is bored and wants to go out for ice cream. We three will go."

"But Arnav-ji, I am busy. I can't--" Khushi opened her mouth to deny but Amal beat her to it.

"Amma plshh, come na. We thee(there) goh out and eat iekeem(ice cream). Shoo much fun. Plshh plshh plshh.." She made her signature puppy dog face.

"Ok!" Khushi nodded and looked back at Anjali and Nani who blinked their eyes, giving their consent.

"Great! Let's go now." Arnav exclaimed and the little rabbit sitting over his head yelled excitedly.

Khushi chuckled and shook her head. She took Amal in her arms and kissed her both cheeks soundly. "My sweet sweet jaleebi!"

Arnav frowned at her endearment use  but didn't say anything. He knew it was on no use. He knew better than to argue with Khushi on this matter.

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

"Uncah(Uncle), onh chocoate iekeem for my Amma and one foh thish cute baby here! Daddy no eat iekeem, doctoh said no to him. Shoo shad(sad) nah. But noh pobem(problem). Onh back(black) cofee foh him" Amal ordered on the counter and told the sad story about her father not eating any sweets too. She was in Khushi's arms.

The guy standing there, smiled and nodded his head. He knew this trio well enough now. Arnav, Khushi and Amal were a very regular customer of this parlor. He had even heard the sad story about Arnav not being able to eat any kind of sweets too from the adorable bundle of joy many times.

Few minutes later, the guy came back with the tray holding two ice creams and a black coffee. Arnav took the tray from him with a thanks and led his girls to their regular table, which was beside the window.

"Umm yummy!!" Amal licked her lips taking the first spoon. "Shooooo yummy. Shoooo tashty. Mah chocate iekeem. Mah jaan!"

Arnav and Khushi chuckled seeing their daughter's antics. She was an absolute foodie like her mother and didn't even hesitate to address her food as her jaan, baby and shona. Her love for food was something out of the world.

"I hope my rabbit isn't bore now?" Arnav asked.

Amal shook her head in denial enthusiastically. "Noh moah boh. Sho happie now. Mah iekeem sho yummy you shee." She exclaimed happily.

Khushi smiled and leaned in, wiping off some ice cream around Amal's chin and kissed her cheek. She then looked at Arnav who was busy admiring her and Amal with an affectionate smile on his lips.

"Sometimes I feel like its all a dream. I didn't deserve this miracle." He said.

Khushi smiled softly and placed her hand over his, squeezing it softly. Amal was busy gobbling up her ice cream, oblivious of the surroundings.

"No one deserve us more than you Arnav-ji. We are yours! Forever and always. And you are ours. Hamesha!"

Arnav nodded his head and leaned in, placing kisses on his wife's and daughter's hairs. A feeling of pure bliss, love and contentment washing over him.
