Part-2
maan & geet were in their room with maansi. Both were asking her to call them!
"princess, say papa"...said maan taking maansi in his lap.
"na gudiya, say mumma"...saying this, geet tried to take maansi from maan. But he didnt let her. Geet pouted at him, twisting her lips. "my princess will say papa first, haina princess?"..maan kissed maansi, totally ignoring geets pouting face. "nahi! She will say mumma first! Like aaru..haina gudiya?" and she too kissed maansi...showing her tounge to maan and making faces at him to irritate him. "bilkul nahi! She will say papa!"...maan glared at geet.
They both were having their silly fight again. It was normal for them to argue like this. Though geet didnt have any problem if maansi said papa first... But just to irritate maan..she argue with him. She really enjoys it!
They both were fighting like always and were kissing maansi in turns. While maansi was looking at them and those weird funny face, they were making at eachother. She was mumbling something in her baby language..and clapping her hands..seeing their fight!
They were so busy.. fighting, to notice anything else. "maine kaha na..geet, princess pehle papa bolegi"..said an irritated maan. "aur maine bhi kaha na.. maan, she will say mumma first"...geet replied angerily!
They were still arguing..when they heard somthing. They both stoped abruptly. Maan raised his eyebrows at geet, "tum ne kuch suna?"..he asked, as he wasnt sure. "shayad"..replied geet..who was also confuse. They both looked at maansi, was siting between them, playing with her toys. They shrugged it off, thinking it to be their imagination.
"han toh, hum kahan the? Oh yes! My princess will say papa first. And thats final!"...maan said with finalty.
"itna confidance mr. Khurana?..dekh lena.. she will say mumma first"..geet replied in a challenging tone! And again their argument started.
They heard that soft voice again..
"Chup"..this time it was more clear. They both were shocked. They kept looking at eachother for few seconds, with their mouth open. Then both looked at maansi ...she also looked at them with her cute & sweet smile!
"geet, is that possible?"...asked maan, still trying to belive the unbelivable. "i dont know maan"..geet replied, still looking at maansi, who was again busy with her toys.
"what do u mean, u dont know? Tum toh mumma ho na. U should know everything about your kids!"...maan said irritatingly.
"if thats so, tab toh u should know it better then me. Aakhir laadli toh aapki hi haina"...retorted geet, highly annoyed with his stupid logic.
"geet.. tum na.."started maan.
"haan..kya..boliye main kya?"
Another fight was about to start.. When they heard...
"Chup..Bilkul Chup"
this time, they both recognised this soft voice..and the gigles that followed, confirmed it!
They both smiled, knowing very well whom that voice belonged. Maan gestured geet to be silent and winked at her. They looked around the room to locate the owner of that voice.
Maan saw some movement behind the curtains. He signled geet..to look in that direction. Maan went there with slow steps...trying not to make any sound.
Reaching there, he just grabbed that person in his arms...and heard a shriek.
"badmaash! You were trying to fool mumma-papa.. Han?"..saying this, maan started to tickle aaru..making him laugh loudly.
"nai..papa plz..nai"..said aaru between his laughter. He was trying to escape from maans hold. "nahi..han! Bahut Masti sujh rahi hai..han?" maan tickled him more.
Aarav was finding it difficult with maans hold... so he hugged maan tightly to stop him.
Maansi was jumping in geets lap..claping her hands..looking at maan n aarav. Maan too hugged him.. smiling at his son's naughtiness. He pulled him outof their hug
n asked, kisne sikhaya ye sab?"...knowing very well that his innocent son cant do it on his own.
"Bua..ne!"...replied aarav...and annie slaped her head, who was hiding behind the wall, near the door...
"annie.." called maan.
But she ranaway shouting," aaru.. Dal badlu..tujhe toh main baad me dekhlungi"
