"Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps." -Sharon Draper

After 11 years...

I woke up as usual in arms of love of my life, loving father of my three kids, loving husband..my ammy.

I looked at him he was sleeping without any worry, and i more tighten my embrace on his bare chest..yes i still always finding reasons to touch it with my hands, i planted a kiss where i first time kissed him on his chest, where a beautiful rose tatoo was engraved.

Main Kagaj Di Bedi Rabba
Tu Mainu Paar Lagaya
Shukar Kara Main Tera Hardam
Main Jo Mangya So Paya

Shukar Dateya Tera Shukar Dateya
Zindagi Rahi Hai Gujar Dateya
Shukar Dateya Tera Shukar Dateya

Alarm clock start singing shukar dateya at 5 AM, and i also thanked almighty in silent prayers for everything he had given me.

I stopped it and start getting out of the bed, today kids school reopened after summer vacations, i have to make their breakfast and packed their lunch for school, and get them ready.

In vacations our routine also got broke because there is no such rush to make them get ready before school hours but as schools reopened we parents also came on track.

As i was tying the rope of my silk satin night gown on my waist, he pulled me from back on his chest.

"Ammy...leave me, we are getting late" i said as he pulled me under him and he hover over me.

"Don't worry_ darling" he put his face inside crook of my neck.

" Ammy don't be a kid now, in evening after work we are free than relax as much you want." i said as i was roaming my fingers in his hairs.

"Okay.." then he plant a kiss on my lips and left me and again moves inside comforter over his head.

I pulled his comforter away "ammy don't be a lazy bum...get up we are getting late, its already five fifteen."

Then he jumped from the bed and ran inside bathroom, i too walk inside start and start brushing my teeth, he too joined me after his nature's call and we both after brushing our teeths, washed our faces and changed into a track pants and tee, i than combed my hairs into a long pony tail and we both wore our sports shoes.

We than moves out of our bedroom after checking the kids room and dadima's room, we went out and took our bicycles from garaze and walks out of the main gate, after locking it behind, we went for our daily morning cycling.

We are doing cycling since i gave birth to our third child, after my second pregnancy i put on some weight, and my clothes start getting tight. So, i pester him that i want to loose my weight and reshaped my body like before.

Then he suggest me this simple workout, belive me i feel amazed after that how i turned into my body like before, and it keep our muscles always activate.

We came back around six in the morning after our daily routine, this always make us fit and fine.

After parking our bicycles i moved up to girls room and ammy was making the orange juice in our kitchen.

Both of my princesses are sleeping hugging each other, i opened their curtains and turned off the AC.

" Rose..hasrat get up fast babies, either you gonna late on a first day after vacations." i was removing their comforter when rose jumped out of bed and hugged me.

" Good morning mumma."

I kissed her cheeks "Good morning little princess" and took her in my arms.

As i was walking inside bathroom she yelled " I am not little mumma, i am The Princess Amrose."

"Aww my baby, yes you are my princess amrose" i kissed her cheeks again and put her down,and i gave her toothbrush after applying toothpaste on it.

"Do it fast princess amrose either you are going to late for school." I told her and walk out of bathroom, she's more into disney princesses and think herself as one of them and to make her happy we all call her princess oftenly.

Hasrat was yawning and getting out of bed, my elder baby girl. She's more into sketching , painting and colours.

"Good morning mom" she came with eyes closed and hugged me, i touched her long hairs even longer than mine they are all entangled with each other.

"Good morning baby, let me do your tight bun, either you gonna get your hairs wet in shower" i said and did her tight bun on top of her head.

" Now get ready you both girls, i'll wake up amal now" I gently pushed her inside bathroom, i walk out and moves inside adjacent room of my son amal.

I opened the curtains first and turned off the AC and moves toward his bed, he was sleeping peacefully.

My son Amalinder Singh Romana, totally opposite of my husband amrinder singh romana in everything except looks, he's more like me in matters of love.

" Amal wake up son, it's your first day after vacations__hasrat and rose already got ready " I removed his comforter and moved my hand in his soft hairs.

He again pulled the comforter over his head and moved toward other side of bed "five minutes more.. please, mom " and he snuggle more into comforts of sleep.

"Alright.. Don't be late. I'm packing your lunch come fast okay."

I know he wouldn't be late, i had only worry about hasrat she took bit much time in her shower than on hairs.

As i was descending the stairs, i peeked into dadima's room which is on ground floor.She's still sleeping.

She's now very much old and doing acts like kids, now i have to took care of four kids in this house, oops five kids one more my ammy, as i entered inside kitchen area i saw him drinking his orange juice moving his head like kid.

"Here is yours" he pour me a glass of orange juice, i gulped all it at once, we are getting late.

"Ammy be fast, take your shower, i also have to take." I told him as i was putting a tea pan filled with water on gas.

Suddenly i felt hands around my waist from back, "ammy don't start this now, we are getting late" i was melting in his embrace as he was giving me sloppy kisses on my neck, behind my ears, i felt tingle in my whole body with his wet lips.

As i was turned toward him and faced him, he captured my lips with his, his tongue was tasted like fresh orange, i was inhaling whatever he was pouring in this kiss,"Join with me in shower" he asked as our kiss was becoming more sensual, my knees were loosing strength, he pulled my legs around his waist, and i clung to him like leech.

I was pulling his hairs in enticipation and he was kneeding my breast under the shirt, i was now totally under his spell, his command my wish.

As he took me in his arms in bridal style, my face in crook of his neck, and he was moving toward staircase, we heard someone ring the doorbell.

I hurriedly jumped out of his arms, and straighten my clothes and hairs. He was glaring at the person who was opposite side of door like always due to her he always missed the morning chances, as usual.

I pushed him toward door to open it, and walk inside kitchen where water was boiling like my body temperature, i don't know why i still didn't resist his touch.

I hurriedly put ingredients inside the vessel and make the tea, as i was pouring tea inside a cup for dadima, meena walk inside with headphone on her heads.

"Good morning madame."

"Morning meena" I greet back her. "Here take your tea" I pour tea one cup for her also as she just arrived and took the another one toward dadima's room.

She was walking out of bathroom when i entered inside her bedroom beside library, with her very fragile body which still held the strength to scold ammy or make me tease.

"Good morning dadima" I came forward and put the cuttlery beside her bed table.

She dried up her face with towel than did a little pray in front of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's portrait, i also stand beside her covering my head and my hands in front and closed my eyes and thanks him for everything he had given me till now, ask for everyone's good health my husband, my kids, my in - laws, my dadima, my parents, keerat jassey and her kids.

"Good morning teeye, did kids waked up" She asked me after our prayer to our almighty and settled on bed, i gave her tea.

" Hnji dadima, they are getting ready" I told her as i folded her comforter.

"Alright, did meena came."

"Hnji dadima, did you need anything" I asked her as i sat beside her on bed.

"Yes, i asked her yesterday to bought raw mangoes for pickle from market, did she bought them or not" She asked as she sipped her hot tea.

"No, i don't think so dadima, if you want i'll bought for you after work, how much you want ?" I asked her.

"No, you don't know how to pick raw mangoes for pickles."

"Alright then in evening i'm going to visit vegetable market, our veggy stock is finished if you want we'll both go there, likewise you'll pick raw mangoes with your satisfaction" i suggest her.

"Haan that will be good idea, when will you come?"

" I'll try to come early around four then we'll both go there" I told her.

" Alright, lets see what are those kids doing, is that khota waked up or not." She was rambling as we walk out of her room, and pointing ammy as khota.

"Hnji dadima, he's just taking shower."

She sat on sofa in living room and put the Gurbani on TV, and i make my way toward kitchen.

Meena was peeling the veggies, i start making dough and finished making chappatis, after breakfast was done.

Then i went for taking shower and getting ready for publishing house, and meena start doing dusting and cleaning.

***

I changed into work clothes and applied minimum makeup red lipstick , black eyeliner and leave my hairs into a long pony tail which touched my lower body, they grew more.

I wore my white printed cotton plazo suit and punjabi jutti in feets.

Then i hurriedly picked my handbag , laptop, and morning newspaper The Hindu and The Indian Express and came out of our bedroom and moves toward my girls bedroom, both girls were already in their uniform and rose was packing her pink colored princess schoolbag...hasrat had already done her packing last night the projects, charts ,holiday homework just waiting for me to done her hair__ I hurriedly did her long braid and she look beautiful as always.

She moves downstairs with her schoolbag and stuff for breakfast.

Then I did rose's hairs too and I helped her picking her bag which is heavy due to her holiday homework notebooks and she picked her charts and stuff.

Why do schools gave so much work to a fifth class student. This is the reason nowadays children are always burdened with studies. But who I'm kidding , even during our times our parents also think like that.

I was thinking this during descending the stairs with rose behind me.

All were sitting on dinning table and having breakfast Amal was just sat beside Ammy and both were already done with their breakfast and now reading newspaper and sipping the cup of tea , hasrat was still eating and dadima was just admiring everyone on table with cup of tea__ we both joined them too as everyone is getting late .

Amal was looking bit sad just because we changed his section from 9th B to 9th A...his class teacher was complaining that he was not opening up with other students in class, always over protective brother over hasrat in class and not made any friends and indulge with other boys than Tanishq and kanishka.

That's why we changed his section, we too want him to bit open up with other kids too but nope he's just a introvert who is happy in his small cycle. It's not bad but just his friends will not always remain with him in college university and at everypoint of his life , he has to learn to survive without his friends too and learn to make his new friends.

I passed him a assuring smile and his face glowed up. He's a bright student in studies, quizzes, Olympiads and not even a shy kid in class. He's a outspoken too but just too afraid to make new friends.

I just have a cup of tea and sandwich and start packing the tiffins for everyone.

After this busy morning we bid bye to dadima and she had joined now young old group in which she stay busy and her time passes as we all are not home , meena already left.

Ammy was helping kids putting their thermocoal models, charts safely in back seat of his car. And as I was igniting my thar kids settled inside hasrat and amal behind and rose beside me on passenger seat, just before ammy settled inside his car our eyes met and he winked at me, my heart did a somersault inside as heat creeps upto my cheeks by just looking at him.

Then we both start riding toward our kids school, ammy's car was just behind following us...I see through my rear view him behind us.

Small smile appeared on my lips as I look behind my small world which God blessed me with.
