My back ached when I move in my sleep, I am welcomed by the sun rays when I open my eyes. Yawning soundly, I stretch my arms, when my hand connects with someone I tilt my head to look at my family.

I am sleeping in the sitting position, yesterday night we four were going through our albums and slept in between only. Arya and Aryan's childhood album, mine and Mishti's marriage album. We kept on laughing seeing everyone's funny expressions, looks and poses.

I smile looking at Arya and Aryan sleeping in Mishti's lap. Honestly, that's not a comfortable position to sleep but Mishti will be happy with that uncomfortable position if it means to have her precious people in her arms.

Taking the albums from my lap I keep them on the side table. Bending down I press my lips on Arya and Aryan's forehead. Feeling Mishti's lips on the side of my head I raise my head to look at her.

"Good morning!" She smiled at me then shifted her gaze at our kids. Her eyes glistened looking at them as she bowed down to kiss their foreheads. Seeing her smile my heart changed its beat from 'lub dub' to 'luv luv'. Well, this case happens only when you are with Mishti, lucky me, haha! Too dramatic, isn't it? But hey, that's my love for her, not drama.

"Morning!" I reply gaining her attention, "Did you sleep well?"

"Well, almost more than half of the night was spent watching our memories." She chuckled softly keeping her sound low to not disturb our kids.

"Were you comfortable?" I arch an eyebrow, tell you something weird about her she needs her pillow and her own blanket to sleep. The first day she came to our home after marriage she had all her used stuff with her, blanket, pillow, toothbrush and all because she said they were still not so old to throw off!

"With you three being around me I am always comfortable." Her gaze fixed on Arya and Aryan as if she's finding something.

"Aryan snores in the sleep like you! Look at Arya how silent she sleeps, just like me." She giggled to herself.

"You are right!" I nod my head in agreement, "I and Aryan keep silent all day that is why we snore in the sleep. While you and Arya keep on chatting the entire day like a broken radio!" My carefree chuckle turns into a nervous chuckle when she glares at me.

"What the hell do you mean by broken radio?" She tries to keep her tone silently while the annoying look decorated her face.

"Sorry, not like a broken radio but like a melodious cute radio." I nod my head seriously trying to show the seriousness while internally praying she trusts my words. Genuinely speaking, I love her voice a lot and all these years it was only Arya who reminded me of Mishti's tune.

"We don't chat the entire day, neither I and my daughter are any broken or melodious cute radio!" She rolled her eyes, "It's just that we utilize our time and make sure to not waste it. It's better to utilize our time by chatting instead of staying silent and getting bored."

"Yeah, right. Anyway forget it, let's not drag this anymore." I shrug not wanting to destroy our mood.

"Since my mood is good now I'm ignoring it or else I would have loved to start a debate on 'How to utilize our time' and I'm sure I would have won it!" She gave me a serious vibe of competition, I chuckle recalling our old days where we used to challenge each other now and then.

"Come on, let's grab some coffee." Getting down from bed I motion her to follow me.

"You carry on, I would prefer to stay with them." She started caressing their hairs lovingly.

"They have slept late last night so maybe they'll be sleeping longer than required. Get down and stretch your body, relax yourself a bit." I say out of concern because sitting in the same position is not easy!

"It's fine, when they get up they'll be happy to see me and I'll be happy that I managed to bring a smile on their innocent faces. I missed a lot of things with them they have missed a lot of things with me. Now, when I have the chance to stay with them I don't want to go away." Her eyes welled, wiping her tears she smiled at me.

"As you wish." I return a smile to her, "For a change, lemme get coffee for you today. Then I'll come and pat on your arm saying 'Mishti, get up, it's morning' then you get up we'll have coffee." I mimicked her tone while she chuckled.

"I am not sleepy. You make the coffee and be back." Nodding my head at her I exit from the room.

✧✧✧

Sitting next to Mishti I sip my coffee, she seems kind of lost in her own world as her gaze fixed in no particular direction.

"What's wrong?" I nudge her trying to find out what's in her mind.

"I don't know why a question keeps troubling me, what if I fail to be a good mother?" Her eyes deepen as she tries to get an answer to her question.

"You were already a good mother even before you know anything. You have taken care of them when you thought they were strangers to you so when you know you are their mother I am sure you'll beautifully take the responsibility!" I smile giving her assurance, this may be new to her but I already know she is the best mother.

"You really think so?" She arches a confused eyebrow at me. I nod my head as I wrap my arm around her shoulder and gaze at our kids sleeping in her lap.

"I will try my best, I want them to forget that once they were living without me. I'll make sure to fill so much of happiness in their life." She speaks as her gaze fixed at Arya and Aryan, "However, first I want to win their trust and let them know that no matter what they can share anything with me. I'll be a friend to them when they need me, I'll be a mother to them when I want to be. Being friendly will make them easier to voice out their fears and problems to me and with my motherly nature I'll make sure they don't fall into any bad habits or let that affect them."

"Exactly! We should talk about this with them. They should at least share everything with anyone of us unless they become independent. However, even when they get married they can come to me and ask for any help or share anything with me." I complete and smile when Aryan stirs in his sleep indicating he is about to wake up.

"Yeah, so one day anyone of them will come to you and ask 'Papa, how to seduce my boyfriend?' then you'll help them out with it, right?" Her tone filled with sarcasm, "Or maybe they'll wish to share how their first night went? And you'll listen to all of it, right?"

"Well, seduce part, I may help them because that's fun." I suppress my laugher trying to sound serious, "However, I don't think my kids are dumb to share some extremely personal stuff with me."

"You'll spoil my kids." She stated as she lowered her body and tried to cover Arya and Aryan with her arms.

"Excuse me, they are our kids!" I give her a pointed look.

"Good morning, Mumma Papa." Before Mishti could argue anymore Aryan woke up.

"Good morning." Mishti greeted him as she kissed his cheek.

"Arya, get up it's morning." He shook Arya who is sleeping peacefully.

"Princess, no prince is going to come and kiss you wake up." I chuckle smirking at Mishti's horrified expression.

"Let my daughter sleep, you boys!" She playfully glared at me and Aryan.

"Come on, Mumma. When I am up even she should wake up." Aryan yawned as he gave a sleepy smile.

At his response, Arya whined and hugged Mishti's waste, "I am going to sleep until my dream is completed." Her voice came muffled as she has covered her face by hugging Mishti.

"What's the dream about?" Aryan pokes her shoulder trying to gain her attention.

"Chocolate!" Arya muttered before she slept again.

"You know what I got a weird dream, there was a gun factory." Aryan stared at us as he kept his face serious, "The entire dream I and Arya were planning to reach the factory and take the guns."

"Like really?" Arya woke up with a jolt, "Like really really?"

"Yeah!" Aryan grinned, "It was like we were on a mission."

"I wish I had a Doraemon then I would have come in your dreams!" Arya pouted making me and Mishti chuckle.

"Okay, now go and fresh up." Mishti patted their cheeks, "Take a look at your Neha bua and ask her to come down for breakfast."

They rushed out of the room as they shouted Neha's name.

"What?" Mishti raised her eyebrows when I keep my gaze on her.

"You are beautiful." I blow a kiss at her.

"I know that." Mishti nodded her head as a pinkish glow settled on her cheeks, "And you are so hot!" She winked at me and chuckled as she stretched her legs.

"You know everything of now reminds me of our old days." I smile recalling how Mishti used to do when we were married, "I think it's time my newly wedded Mrs Rajvansh should meet my years ago wedded Mrs Rajvansh."

"What do you mean by that?" Confusion settled on her face though a smile didn't leave her lips.

"I mean," I pull her in my arms, "I'll tell you all about our past. With that, you'll live those memories and I'll relive those memories." Smiling I press a kiss on her forehead.

"Like really?" Mishti looked at me surprised, "Like really really?" We both chuckled as she used Arya's tone to express her shock and excitement.

"I am sure if she was here she would have said 'Mumma, don't make fun of me'. Then she would have whined a little and asked chocolate from you." Mishti agreed with me as she broke into fits of laughter.

"Well, I am excited to meet the old Mrs Rajvansh." Mishti smiled as she pulled out of my arms.

"Done then, every day I'll tell you something. Starting from the day you came to my office!" I exclaimed with enthusiasm, reliving those memories is gonna be a lovely moment.

Old memories are the treasure of Sweetness,

New memories are possessions of Sweetness.

How was it?

I'm genuinely sorry for not updating on Wednesday, I couldn't get time.

Since many wanted to read their past the next chapters will be about the past. In this sense, we will give a pause to the present and travel to the past.

Do not get confused when the next chapter will start from the past, we are kind of going to do it like they'll recall all the past day by day.

I hope it's clear?

If not then you can ask anything. However, when you'll read the next chapter you'll understand.

I wanted to talk about one important thing. I think few have noticed whatever has happened in the comment section.

I would not appreciate it if anyone says I am not showing a beautiful vibe, maybe I am not showing but I am writing what I can.

I don't know why, but when I am honest and keep my reviews people always consider it rude!

Anyway, be honest, how many feel Arya and Aryan's character is not show beautifully?

I am not gonna change their character because 'Understanding' plays an important role in this story. I also feel their character is cute.

Queries, doubts, suggestions all are welcomed. I had mentioned it before too I'll take your suggestions if I can relate them to the plot I have in my mind. Just like now, I have taken the suggestion of showing the past given by many readers.

I truly felt bad when I realized maybe unknowingly my honest review on comment has hurt her.

I am a human, I have a heart so I have feels too! To make Arya and Aryan's character cute and interesting I have started a new story - Melody Of Sweetness.

Fulfilling the reader's demand is the writers' responsibility. This story is to make happy to all the readers with a normal Mishbir life with their kids. The characters are kinda same but Kuhu is additional here.

I am specially dedicating this story to - PradeekshaMehra

I'm sorry buddy if unintentionally I have hurt you, but I just kept my views! ✌

Thanks for all the love in the last chapter.

Do vote, comment and share with your friends.

Thank y'all.
