Chapter 51

Anjali saw Arnav and Khushi walking down the stairs and an idea struck her. She took the boy in her arms and kissing him said: "You want a baby boy..?" The child nodded cutely. "Then go to your Khushi Didi and Jijaji ask them to give you a baby boy... they can give you..."

"Really...?" the child asked and getting a nod from her ran off to Khushi.

After the boy left, the other kids too ran off to NK who called them for something and Anjali leaning against Dadi said: "Dadi, Nani, get ready to welcome your Chote's chote soon... Khushiji can never say no to the children here." and laughed along with them.

Khushi felt someone tuck on her hands and looked down to see a child holding her hands. She bent down and kissing his cheeks said: "What happened dear..? Do you need anything..?"

"Yes... a baby boy... Anjali Aunty said that you and Jijaji will give me a baby boy and he will play cricket with me." replied the boy in his childish voice.

Khusi was flushed and Arnav didn't know how to react. Khushi kneeled down to reach his height and said: "You are having others who are playing cricket with you..? Why do you need a new baby boy..?"

"Muskaan Didi said, she is getting a baby sister, so, I too need a baby brother." He replied as a matter of fact.

Arnav smiled at him and picking him up in his arms said: "You will get a baby boy. Don't worry."

And immediately was bombarded with another question: "When?"

Arnav with a smile: "Soon." The boy squealed happily in his arms and jumped down and ran away happily. "Khushi... I think we should consider the little boy's wish."
