' Myla Singh Oberoi '

M- papa , miss bulalahi hai.

She jumped holding his hand and he nodded, acknowledging.

S- come ani ,

Annika who was seated beside him clasped her hand which was caressing her lightly peeping womb ,with his before getting up.

It's been 5 months since she came to know of the joyous news . Myla was the happiest among everyone to know that she's going to have a baby sister or brother soon . During initial days , she was kind of sceptical of how a baby will have space inside her mother's flat tummy but as the months moved after witnessing the changes herself for real , she was quite convinced. At times she would come up with questions making shivika run cutely insane .

' papa , baby andal bore hothi tho kya kalthi ? . TV hai andal? How does baby balth everyday? '

Is the latest question which she had asked when the trio drove to her school for PTM . Cute she . At times she used to badger the doctor with these sorts of questions during the sonography sessions making shivika wonder how does their daughter even imagine such things !

' mumma andhal itni darlk kyun hai? Lights on kalna chahiye na aapko? Baby darl jaayegi '

This was once when shivika showed her the ultrasound graph which obviously seemed black with only thsoe tiny features of baby visible .That little girl couldn't just stop her fantasies of imaginations after knowing that a life more small than herself resides within annika.

' Congratulations Mrs. Oberoi ! '

The teacher noticed annika's little bump and wished when she came in along with shivaay and Myla . Annika smiled muttering a ' thank you ' and took her seat.

' so Myla ? Shall we show the progress card to mumma ? '

As Myla settled on her papa's lap , she let a quick nod.

Annika got the report from her and glanced through the grades  keenly while shivaay was busy getting the car like pen stand kept on the table which caught Myla's attention who already tried to reach it but couldn't ,so her super papa quietly worked and pulled it near her hands that she could finally touch it now .

' She's doing good in everything  and she has  even improved a lot , I must say . Especially the numbers in maths  '

Annika grinned before replying.

A - yeah , I spent time exclusively for teaching maths alone . Glad to see that she has improved .

The moment she finished, she heard him clearing his throat. Days when she would sleep before even the moon goes up , he was the one who would sit with his daughter , repeating the same,           ' baby ,one in the mind... five in the finger after five ...six ' .

Moreover maths and annika ...?

She glared at him for a second until when only he could notice . Agree that ,she's a little weak in the subject but can't she take some credit for teaching the basic addition subtraction atleast ? He gradually looked away to hide that cheecky smile of his , can't be blamed after noticing his wife's worth watching reaction he had no other chance.

S- uhh, baby class mei kaisi hai?

' She is the perfect student in class , like she's very attentive and obedient '

Both shivaay and annika's face shone to cling with a proud smile, before

' until she gets angry. '

The mam took time and completed as if she was playing some fill in the blanks. And soon shivika looked at each other quietly paving chance for the teacher to continue.

' matlab , yesterday she had some fight with her classmate and do you know want she did ? Paani phek diya uss ladki pe . The other girl was the one who did wrong at the first place ,I spoke to her parents that day itself but still Myla shouldn't have done that . And not only that , she even breaks things in anger . Ek duster bhi thod diya'

Silence prevailed after the teacher finished. Shivika didn't look surprised or shocked at all, infact they themselves know the stories behind the broken toys at home. Heredity, is the word.
But before anyone could speak, all heard Myla laugh sheepishly while playing with the pen stand .

' why are you laughing Myla ? '

M - mumma bhi gussa mei papa pe paani phelthi hai and papa gusse mei phone tholtha hai .

Listening to her , the teacher slowly looked at annika then at shivaay who both were engrossed in whole process of pretending a normal face for that task was really difficult after when their daughter had clearly opened up their crazy secrets. Embarrassment.

This little minion doll of theirs , is  not only a  brilliant pretty girl . A naughty bean too! ,

A - I'll see to that she never repeats it again .

The teacher nodded listening to annika and continued speaking a more things of how Myla had done so well in the reciting competition held a few days back . She even mentioned of how Myla was very kind and keen to help when the school had organized a fund collection for the sanitary workers there. Hearing everything, shivika felt really great and proud of their little girl. Indeed , her selfless nature always awed them . She may seem naughty and stubborn at times but still , the surprising rotations her character takes when time bring new situations, shivika themselves explore a beautiful side of their Myla.

A- did you pour water on your classmate ?

When shivaay was preparing his mind to get surprised that the ever so chatterbox had stopped chattering suddenly, she broke his thoughts by starting those words making him grin mentally . Myla watched her mother's serious face through the front mirror and nodded ,approving.

A- kyun ? Hadn't I asked you not to do that ? It's a bad habit , aapko pata haina ?

This time she turned back and frowned at her daughter .

M - see papa , mumma gussa kal lahi hai .

Myla leaned towards the driver seat and tugged his shirt to grab his attention . Before he could even try to defend her , he noticed annika's flaring eyes and gulped . Dare he objects her and defends Myla now .

S- aley nahi baby, gussa nahi hai . Bas pooch rahi hai ki aap aise kyun kiya?

Myla's cute grumpy face went back to normal listening to his sugary sweet tone.

M- fine , I'll tell you . Only you . Mumma don't listen .

She ordered making annika chuckle lightly.

A- ok ,

Saying this she gazed out through the window pretending that she merely bothered of what Myla would tell.

M- suniye papa uss nisha na , she took my favoulite lorry sharpener and bloke it. Jab meine poocha, she lied and pinched me like this. Ilsiye,

Nearing the nails of both her fingers on his skin near the neck ,she pinched him . Good that he had cut her nails a day back ,if not this would have actually pained. So would have she felt when it happened with her , he worried . Before he could enquire ,annika did.

A- kya ? Why didn't you tell me ? Aapko lagi tho nahi .

Annika pulled Myla a little close and moved her collar to check for any scars.

M- so you were listening ...? Aapne joot bola ?

Shivaay enjoyed the sight when annika stammered with no answers. Wah ! He was happy to find someone in this world who could manage and control a the tadibaaz annika .

M- don't worry, Myla is a stlrong girl . Kuch nahi hogi usse.

Came her assurance in that very milky tone  .

S- next time aisa kuch huwa tho , you have to tell this to your Miss first . No pouring water , Ok ?

M- hmm .

She nodded and hit back on the seat to play with that tiny little toy bike which lied on the seat there .

When shivaay tried to focus on the side mirror , he noticed annika rubbing her chest uneasily.

S- annika , your ok ?

Halting the car right away at corner ,he enquired in concern while she nodded ,still closing her eyes .

A- maybe this AC ,

She stated and continued rubbing on the mid of her chest .

S- we'll stop here for sometime then , come .

Though annika denied saying she was fine , he convinced her to come out and get some fresh air . Maybe she'll feel better , he thought. After instructing Myla to stay inside only , both got down and stood by the other side of the car .

She exhaled big breathing fresh air apart from that weird smell of the AC which sometimes makes it really uneasy for her.

S - ab teek hai?

A- hmm.

S - Myla ki time tho you were far better, I mean you didn't even have the sickness often back then , par ab. Shall I book an appointment with the Doctor ?

She let a casual smile at her dear hubby who was now looking at her worriedly.

A- shivaay , the doctor had already said that every pregnancy doesn't go similar. It's normal , you don't have to worry Myla ki papa.

Pinching both his cheecks slightly she made him smile which he did .

S - how much you've changed annika ?!

He spoke with a surprised face for which she questioned through eyes .

A- means?

S - as far as I remember, my annika choti bachi jaisi thi . Who used to exaggerate even small things to balloons , but to see the same she being all mature and convincing me is ,

Both smiled as he completed . Then annika spoke .

A- balloon ..? I don't have to worry about myslef because tum jo ho mere saath. To do all the worries ,

Entangling her arm with his's , she looked at him lovingly as if he was her only possession while he gradually held her hand tight and twisted the other side to bring her hand near his lips. Delivering all the compassion through his blue orbs , he slowly let his lips play on her knuckles for her to look down slowly being shy .

A- shivaay kya kar rahe ho ? Road hai ye,

She whispered looking around , but he wasn't convinced to stop .

M- tirrrrrrr....irrrrrr ....rrrrr.

As she dragged the small bike on the edge of the window , she continued giving the sound effects. When she did the same another time ,the toy fell by the window on the road and she got down to get it . She saw many cars and bikes moving in full speed , making weird noises which according to her was terrifically good . With the same attitude ,she took the toy and dragged it on the road pretending to drive fastly.

M - rrrrr,

Annika who was casually speaking with shivaay  ,saw that Myla was playing by the other side, literally on the road.

Noticing a fast car approaching towards her child , she rushed and pulled her .

A- Myla !

Myla who didn't expect this of sudden, crushed annika's kurthi within her fists and looked upon her.

S- what happened? Myla aap teek hai ?

Shivaay who just came by that side asked ,nearing the duo .

M- kuch nahi huwa mumma , mein

Her words stopped abruptly on getting a nice slap from annika  .

She stood still, with tears occupying her eyes within seconds when shivaay immediately carried her in his arms .

S- annika , why did you ...? Oohhh , nothing baby , kuch nahi kuch nahi .

Joggling her continuously he kept muttering sweet nothings for she just cried leaning on his neck .

A- be quite shivaay tumne deka nahi , it was so close . How many times to tell her ...,

S - annika baby hai vo , what's the need to slap her ? Teek hai teek hai, nothing... papa aa gaya na . Ham mumma ko slap kalenge.

Hearing her sniffs , he palmed her head and muttered these trying to console her while annika glared him and stood leaning on the bonnet with her hand covering her forehead . Only she knew what she had gone through that second, watching a car approaching Myla . She took long breaths to calm her fastly beating heart .

S - vahan dekiye ! Vahan, ...wow!! Vo aapka favourite colour ki car . Kitna big haina ,..? ( he continued joggling her as he pointed towards the vehicles on the road for she looked upon there with a wet face ) aapko pata hai ? Om chachu told me that he would take you to Mall tomorrow, vahan fun city mei aap bhi aise big big bikes dlive kal sakthey hain.
Kitna masthi kalenge na aap ? !

By then Myla seemed a far better . Why wouldn't she ?after all, anything about vehicles and she's alright.  As shivaay asked her whether she'd go with Om tomorrow, she nodded with that cute pout still playing on her lips .

He made her sit on the bonnet and wiped her wet face . Soon Myla extended her arms asking him to carry her again. She quietly coiled her arms around his neck and stayed leaning on his shoulder while he neared annika who still looked tensed. Holding her hand ,he blinked assuring it is fine now. Indeed , managing both these girls was really a challenging job which he does perfectly with all his heart .

Placing an already asleep Myla on the bed he looked at annika who sat near her and caressed those mild pink cheeck of her baby .

A- she won't talk to me now . She completely goes on you in this , anger and stubborn.

S- you're telling that ?

He complained.

A- well , beti hai tumhari.

S - when she does something good and gets appreciated then she's your baby if the opposite happens tho meri beti, Wah! what a logic ,

Hearing which she twisted her mouth and looked away for him to continue.

S - who asked you to slap her ?  bachi hai ye ,

A- shivaay, you didn't see it . If I hadn't noticed at the right time,

Sighing huge she rubbed fingers on he forehead .

S - she has got your 23 chromosomes too. Being clumsy , careless ,isn't it your nature ?

He asked as he sat beside her , while she just glared at him saying nothing.

It was already half past 10 at night when shivaay was still awake, reading stories for his daughter who sat upright listening to him keenly . As annika had guessed before, Myla didn't speak with her since noon .

S- after that Myla reached the space in that huge rocket ! Yeah!!!

He cheered doing hi-fi with her and annika who was leaning on his chest could do nothing but smile wide . According to Myla ,all the travelers in the book should be called by her own name .

M - yeah ! Fine , next one.

S- arey, it's already late now. Aapko sona chahiye . Next story for tomorrow.

M- papa plss , just one morle. Plss ,

He sighed smiling , can he ever be able to deny his sweet girl anytime? Nodding, he flipped the page to next while annika was silently admiring him. Having lost her father in a very small age ,she didn't know what all a father does for his child until shivaay happened .

Myla was indeed lucky .

At times she would scold him for supporting Myla too much, and he argues saying ' usse daantne ke liye tum ho, tho makkan lagane ke liye koi hone chahiye na ? I will support my baby ' Annika smiled thinking of those , and before she knew she had slept lying on his chest . Maybe the stories worked for her ,

S - hmm! Hogaya ,

Completing the next story he sighed noticing an asleep annika.

S - ek tho so gayi , but this girl ... uff! Myla bas ,see mumma and our small baby has slept ,aap bhi soyiye ab .

Saying which he gently made annika lay on the cot so that she doesn't get disturbed , and she causally palming her tummy protectively in sleep really surprised him . He smiled and kissed her hand.

M- then ,papa?

S- I've some work beta , I'll finish and come . Ok ?

M- hmm.

She nodded obediently before closing her eyes and shivaay placed a few pillows between the two so that Myla doesn't move on annika in sleep as she does with him .

After planting a sweet kiss on her forehead , he walked to his study room upstairs .

It was midnight when annika awoke being thirsty. Sipping the bottle she frowned on not finding shivaay there, and decided to check at the study room.

A - shivaay , it's already 12. What are doing up here still ?

She spoke as she walked in and he stood noticing her there and kept the laptop away .

S- annika ,pagal hai tu ? Andhere mei upar kyun aayi tum ?

A- I ain't a baby shivaay ,I know to climb stairs . Now come with me ,

She caught hold of his hand but he declined .

S- annika , I have some important work.  I should complete it as soon as possible.

Annika was already lost in her thoughts by the time he finished. She really felt guilty ,

A- I'm sorry shivaay .

S- why are you saying sorry annika ? It's my work,

Cupping her cheeks ,he asked with a smile and she shook holding his hand which covered her cheeck.

A- matlab, you are doing everything. From taking care of me to withstanding my tortures , aur Myla ko bhi tum hi sambal rahe ho. And after that you have to look on your work too ,  aisa lag raha hai jaise mein kuch ...

Before she could complete, he placed his finger on her lips.

S-shh, kya list bana rahi ho tum? You're my wife and Myla is my baby, for who else will I love doing all this ?  Except one more ,

Listening to it she watched at him confusedly when he smirked touching her womb and winked making her smile. With her eyes pointed into his ,she neared close until she could feel his breath on her forehead .

A- I love you shivaay .

It was just a mere whisper heard but his face bloomed in joy as if he was hearing it for the first time . Nesting her waist within his arms he dived into her eyes before closing the mere gap between them.  Feeling his lips smooching on her's ,she immediately responded to feel his divine love  and her soft hands slowly made way to his neck tracing every inch of his skin there, she stood drowning in his sea of love .

Breathing heavily, both joined their foreheads and remained as that .

M- daadi ,aap bhi aao na ? We'll play race game there !

P - haan beta par , daadi ko mandir jana haina?

Feeding another morsel, pinky replied for which Myla nodded with a sad pout .

M- but next time , aap pakka aalenge na?

P- pakka, ab paani pilijiye aap.

She handled the glass when Myla emptied it  .

Om - so is my doll ready ?!

At once Myla stood and jumped over Om who took her in his arms .

M - yeah !! I'm leady chachu.

Shivaay who just came by the living room, went near Om .

S- Myla , be careful and don't leave chachu's hand .  Don't speak with strangers.

M- I know papa ,

Om- shivaay , mein hoon na ? I'll take care.

Saying which he moved past the door while Myla turned back waving bye to everyone except annika.

Annika didn't bother of her response but walked till the door and waved hands along with shivaay .

But soon they noticed Myla crawling down his hands and running back to them .

S- what happened Myla  ? You forgot something?

M - ji  .

She answered and hugged  annika's stomach and placed smooth kisses on the fabric above her womb ,surprising shivika  .

M- baby, di se angly mat hona ki mein tumle cholkar kelne jaa lahi hoon . Aftel you come , I will  always play with you only ,teek hai? Take care baby ,....aur mumma aap bhi , take cale.

Muttering these in her cute milky voice, she ran towards Om again  leaving shivika smile widely .

A- she's just like you shivaay . Like ,all this time she was showing faces , par ab deka ? Gusse mei bhi jintha karthi hai meri  , bilkul tum jaise .

She admitted  nudging his shoulders slightly when he immediately looked at her .

S- thanks to the twenty three chromosomes , finally you have realized that she has even inherited some good habits from me .

A - ahaaa , don't jump to conclusions mera pyaar . One more is yet to come right? I'm sure this baby will completely go on me.

Tracing her stomach she smirked .

S- if not then too it's fine , I mean ye bhi muj jaise nikla tho it's ok. We'll keep trying with the next and next to come .  What say ?

Nearing her ,he put on his sheepish smile and she just looked away blushing.

A- cheapda ,

She muttered and tried moving but he had already caught hold of her waist  and came closer , to leave a smooth kiss on her cheecks making her flutter in shy .
