"Mummaaaaaa"

Khushi looked at her daughter with a smile as she ended Arnav's call. She walked over to her and bent to Aarushi who held a drawing in her hand.

Khushi - Yes Shona, you drew a moon!?

Aarushi - Yesh. When moon come?

Khushi - I don't know about moon but your Daddy has finally come.

She looked towards the main door through which their father just happened to walk in. Both got up from the carpet and ran towards him with open arms. Khushi got up smiling and watched Arnav take both his angels in his arms and shower them with love and kisses.

They all walked to the rest of family sitting in the hall. The house had been decorated for Karva Chauth celebration. Guests were to arrive anytime and all the members were dressed and prepared.

Arnav walked up to their room with both his angels, followed by Khushi and the once in the room he took a moment to ogle his wife clad in a red Sari gifted by him. Khushi blushed noticing his intense stare but that didn't last long as one of their twins standing on the bed pulled his nose so she gets his full attention.

Aarushi - Daddy, u know, I keep vat. When moon come, I beak fasht.

Arshi - She do all dama Daddy. Whole day.

Arnav's smile disappeared as he acknowledged Aarushi's words. He immediately turned to Khushi.

Arnav - You're letting my daughter keep fast? My three years old!? How can you be so irresponsible Khushi?

He almost shouted for her to lose her calm too. Khushi flared her nose at him as she glared him with her hands on her hips.

Khushi - You think I'll let my daughter starve!? *whisper* She thinks she is fasting! I made them eat and drink on time. I'm their mother!

She walked to the wardrobe partially in anger. Arnav felt guilty for jumping to conclusion and calling her irresponsible.

Aarushi - Daddy, shee mah mendi.

Arshi - Me too. Bhai too got. I call him too?

Arnav smiled at his twins and kissed their hands as they proudly showed him their Mehendi. He looked at Khushi through the corner of his eyes as she blabbered things for herself, unaware that he can hear it.

Khushi - Here I am, fasting for his well-being and instead of being with me, he goes to his super important meetings, then gets angry on me after coming back!

Arnav smiled a bit and looked at his daughters as they tried to open his tie and take off his coat. He helped them, in a way they stay under the impression that they only did it. They jumped down holding both the pieces of clothes and ran towards the mirror.

Arshi - I weah coat.

Aarushi - No. You tie, today I coat.

While the twins argued over who'll get to wear what today, Arnav walked to Khushi and hugged her from behind. Placing a soft kiss on her nape, he whispered into her ears.

Arnav - I'm sorry.

She twisted her mouth and continued taking out clothes from cupboard for him and twins to change in.

Arnav - You didn't eat all day, how are you feeling? I'm sorry I wasn't there with you.

Khushi - As if you care about me! You only care about your children now, your heiresses!

Arnav - That's not true. You're as important to me as my daughters and I'll love you as much as them.

She turned into his arms pushing him slightly and looked behind at twins once who were wearing their Daddy's coat and tie.

Khushi - Who do you love more? Me or them?

Arnav - What kind of a question is this? I love them as much as you. But the love I have for them is different than what I feel for you.

She straightened her narrowed eyes and smiled.

Khushi - Correct answer. Had you said you love me more, I'd have never forgiven you.

He chuckled and pulled her in a hug.

Arnav - I know. I'm sorry I called you irresponsible. You're a wonderful and very responsible mother.

Khushi - But you're a bad Daddy. You didn't even ask my baby how she is. Only me. After all she's also fasting. And she had to tolerate Arshi and Akshay teasing her.

She pouted at him eyeing their daughters.

Arnav - Why were they teasing her?

Khushi - Because she's fasting for me. I told them I am fasting so I get you in all births. Then my innocent Barbie said that she too wants to get me in all births. She wants to marry me.

Arnav chuckled and turned to them, who by now were acting to be him. Aarushi was wearing his coat and walking with raised shoulders while Arshi propered the tie around her neck with his Bluetooth into her ears.

Arnav - Everyday they do this...and yet I can't help but somehow...admire them every single time.

She hugged him from the side nodding with a huge smile on her face.

Khushi - I know. Who would have thought that Laad Governor's kids can be so cute too?

He looked her with a suspicious frown. She giggled and kissed his cheek before placing twins' clothes on the bed.

Khushi - Go and change. I'll also get these two dressed. Then hopefully the moon will come and I'll be able to break my fast.

"Who is looking better? Me, Arshi or Aarushi?"

Everyone raised her brows at Akshay's question. They looked at the three Raizada kids standing in front of them with much hope shining in their eyes. Akshay was wearing a cream coloured Sherwani while Arshi was dressed in a simple black frock with a white bow at the waist. Owing to their personalities, contrary to her twin, Aarushi was the one wearing the fanciest dress, a red and pink lehenga choli with a pinned dupatta. A partner look with her mother had been the intention. Only exception was the Barbie doll which always stayed with her, no matter where she goes.

Anjali - This is not fair. How can we decide who's looking better when all my sweeties are looking the best?

Everyone immediately agreed to Anjali making Akshay narrow his eyes. In the meanwhile Aarushi smiled wide looking at their mother while Arshi, being the replica of her father she is straightened her dress in satisfaction.

Akshay - No no no. You're just saying this so you don't have to choose. But you have to. One of us is looking better. I know.

Payal - Akshay, beta, don't be rude. You three are looking very pretty.

While Payal and Akash tried to talk a bit sense into their son, Arshi got into her father's lap and Aarushi ran towards the floor to ceiling glass window.

Aarushi - Mummaaaaaa. Moon.

She exclaimed happily sticking her face to the glass and grinned like mad looking up at the sky.

Arshi stood beside her father as her mother acted out the procedure of breaking her fast. After Arnav made Khushi drink water and fed her with a Jalebi, it was time for Khushi to bend and let her toddler do what she just observed. After watching the moon and her mother's face through a sieve, she was also fed water and Jalebis by Khushi followed by a shower of kisses. Arshi tried to avoid that extra love but was pulled into it nevertheless.

Aarushi - Now I get Mumma alwaysh?

Khushi - Yes jaan. I''ll be your Mumma in all births. And Arshi's too. You both are mine and Daddy's sweethearts.

Arshi - I no keep fash.

Khushi - So what? Your sister and your Mumma did. That's enough for you both to be mine in all births.

Aarushi - Mumma, now me and you maly?

Arnav admired his wife and daughters exchanging sweet nothings. Khushi kissed both and nodded to Aarushi's question of marriage. How can she deny her? But Arshi's eyes discovered something interesting.

Arshi - Bhai! Mumma, bhai, Alushi, shee.

Khushi left them to and frowned at her daughter who pointed behind to look at Akshay also breaking fast with Payal, hiding behind Akash. Twins looked at each other with wide grins and ran to him. Arnav chuckled and looked at Khushi in confusion.

Akshay - Akshay and fast?

Khushi - He's fasting so Jiji always be his mother in all births. But no need to worry, he fasted like Aarushi only. Every two hour.

Aarushi - Daddy, mah Barbie!

Arnav looked down to see her back. He passed Aarushi her Barbie he was holding and she again ran back to tease Akshay.

Akshay - Massiiiiii, Arshi and Aarushi are annoying me.

Aarushi - No. Bhai teash me, I keep fash. He too do.

Arshi - Bhai keep fash for Machi. Bhai keep fash. Ne ne ne ne ne ne.

Akshay ran to Khushi complaining about twins teasing him with tongue. Khushi as always came out in his support and Daddy Arnav of course defended his daughters.

Laughter echoed into the Raizada House as they got into their usual banter like their kids.
