Khushi - Arnav, your coffee.

Arnav - Thanks.

Shutting his laptop down and keeping it aside, he accepted the mug she offered and took a sip as she took a seat beside him on the couch with her tea, leaving twins' sippers on the table to cool.

"Daka-lish."

Both the parents looked at their twins riding their mechanical ponies in the study while throwing toys at each other during their play.

Arnav - Khushi, what are they saying?

Khushi - You too don't know!?

Arnav - No.

She looked at her daughters now suspiciously as he answered very casually with a small frown. They had been repeating this word since hours now but she hadn't been able to figure out its meaning.

Khushi - I thought it's some English word you taught them.

Arnav - I don't think it's an English word...but you always know what they're saying. I often failed to understand what they are saying but you always knew.

Khushi - Yes but for that it's important they speak my language, or any language at all. It seems they have just made up some word.

Arnav raised his brows at that passing Khushi his signature smirk. She only frowned to that but kept her cup on the table as he pulled her closer holding her by the waist.

Arnav - Like mother like daughters.

Khushi - What do you mean? And what are you doing? Leave me.

Arnav - You also made up some words so they don't understand us.

Khushi - That's because you are shameless. And if they catch any new word, you know they keep repeating it the whole day. I don't want to be embarrassed in front of family.

He pulled her into his arms further as she hit on his chest lightly. She turned her face away so instead of kissing her cheek he ended up kissing her shoulder. She quickly pushed him away and sat away from him.

Khushi - I need to make them drink their milk, rather trick them. *call twins* Arshi, Aarushi, come to Mumma.

They both quickly ran into her open arms and tried pushing the other out in order to win the full space. And then looking at each other with pouts, they again said it.

Arshi, Aarushi - Daka-lish

Their parents laughed as they passed each other a look. Arnav pulled them into his arms and kept them both in his lap between to kiss both his cuties. They laughed holding him as he tickled them. Khushi admired her babies and their Daddy.

Arnav - Now tell your Daddy, what is this Dakalis?

Arshi - Daka-lish daegen. Fuuu.

Aarushi - Fuuu.

Both blow into the air holding their hands up and Arnav Khushi had never been this confused in their life when it came to understanding their offspring.

Arshi - Daddy, I Daka-lish.

Aarushi - Me too. We fai (fly).

Khushi - Fly? What are you both saying? Make Mumma understand.

NK - Hey guys, what's up?

NK entered the study area as usually with a packet of chips in his hands and twins immediately jumped from Arnav to their favorite Chachu on the next couch. They just literally snatch the packet from him and start eating themselves.

NK - Wooo, Arshi, Aarushi, relax. We can all share it.

Khushi - You two stop it, bad manners. What have I taught you? Give Chachu his chips back.

Aarushi - Daka-lish!

She again blows in the air making Khushi frown while Arshi pouted ready to give the chips back. Only NK chuckled and laughed at their cute act.

Arnav - And why are you laughing? You know what they're saying?

NK - Yeah yeah Nannav. We watched GOT and they have caught the word Dracarys from there. It means fire. Daenerys says that to her dragons when she-

And he couldn't even complete his sentence as NK realized to his horror that Arnav had this I'm going to murder you' look currently which was last seen before the birth of his twins. Arnav hadn't been this angry since ages.

Arnav - You watched Game of Thrones with MY three years olds?!?!?

Just as he was about to raise his voice, Khushi touched his shoulder so that he realized twins are there only and lowered it immediately.

Arnav - 3 years old! They're just. Three. And you watched a show with them which contains nudity and violence!?

NK - No no no Nannav. There were no any nude or violent scenes then. It was the scene with White walkers and the dead army. The episode was just about to end when they came into my room and watched it with me.

Arnav - I don't care NK! You watched an adult show with them! From now on, the only thing you can watch with them is Cartoon Network, nothing else!

NK just nodded fast before fleeing from the scene. It was his luck that twins were present there, else the possibility was really high that this day could have been his last in the world. Never had he been able to piss off his cousin to this extent.

Arnav - This guy is the limit.

Khushi - I would have never thought Nanheji would be this irresponsible...no, he said na, the episode was to end when they went there. So maybe that's why he let them watch the last few seconds.

Arnav - I don't care if it were few seconds only. They're just toddlers. You can't just show them anything with adult content.

Khushi picked up the sippers from table to make them drink the milk inside. Arnav took place beside her and took Arshi into his lap so Khushi can struggle with Aarushi while he tries to get the other to drink.

Arnav - Now I understand it. Their blowing in the air was actually trying to breath fire. The whole das they've been trying to breath fire and burn whatever they see.

Khushi - Arnav, you too na. Don't exaggerate. They're kids, got fascinated by something spitting fire. They'll forget it and this Dakalis too, after their nap.

Arshi - Daddy, I Daka-lish. Then fai.

Aarushi - And fuuu. Daka-lish. Sho goodh.

Khushi - No Aarushi, Jaan, there's no Dakalis. Now drink this. See, I added chocolate into it. You love chocolate milk, isn't it?

Aarushi - No no. I Daka-lish.

Being stubborn and adamant has been a genetically inherited thing which annoys Khushi often to the length. Now until they take their naps, they won't forget this Dakalis thing and want a dragon.

Khushi - Fine. You two want to be bad girls, then be. I'll just put you to sleep. No chocolate milk for you both.

Arnav - Why are you getting angry on them? It's NK's fault. If you have to, then you should be getting angry on him only.

She nodded in denial. One puppy face by them and this sweet Daddy melts like ice cream in hot weather.

Both crawl into his arms with her puppy pouts still on knowing well their father won't deny anything.

Arshi - Daddy, we Daka-lish.

Arnav - Ok baby. Daddy will get Dragons for you both. Don't be sad, smile. I can't see my cuties' sad. Smile, only then I'll get Dragons for you both.

They smile wide at sudden and hug his neck jumping in excitement. He chuckled hugging both in content. Khushi just glared him nodding in denial. She showed him their still full sippers.

Arnav - And one more thing. We'll get Dragons tomorrow already if you both finish your milk.

Khushi handed both a sipper each into their hands. They drank the milk happily laying there on the couch and fell asleep soon. The parents carried each and kept them inside on the bed covering both their sleeping beauties with their little blankets.

Khushi - From where will you get Dragons for your Laadlis?

Arnav - Don't be stupid. They'll have forgotten everything once they wake up.

Khushi - What if not? Don't forget they're also ASR's, not less than you!

Arnav - Then I'll get a puppy for them. Don't worry about it.

Khushi - Why can't you just ever deny them? Is it necessary to spoil them!? Are you scared they won't love you as much as me if you don't grant them their every wish?

Khushi crossed her arms in her chest passing him a challenging smile to which he only raised his brow with a little smirk.

Arnav - What rubbish!? You think I'm buying my daughters love? I don't need to. They love me more than they love you.

Khushi - Dream on. Aarushi panics if I'm not in her eyesight for more than 5 minutes. And Arshi may be the junior Laad Governor but she runs to me first when she gets scared of something. I'm their mother, they'll always love me more.

Arnav - They run to me when you scold them! If you continue to be the strict mother you are, I don't see any threat for myself.

He rubbed his finger pad against the tip of her nose with his signature smirk adorning his face making her fume in anger.

Khushi - Dakalis!

She blew in the air into his direction for him to chuckle and pull her closer holding her waist.

Arnav - Burn me at night...with passion.

She made a face at him and looked only to get all crimson red. But no, she pushed him away and marched out of the room.

He held his eyes on her smirking as she stooped at the door and turned to him mischievously.

Khushi - Tonight I'll ride a dragon! And burn everything that comes in way! Laad Governor kahin ke!

He chuckled as she left with a wink. He can't wait for the night to fall now.
