Here I am not with my typically long Os... Rather kinda drabble... Hope you like it...
"Now Devaansh, it's Hindi learning time..." Sonakshi opened her 3 years old son's picture assisted Hindi Alphabet Book- "Varnmaala" to teach him Hindi alphabets...
Sonakshi pointed her index finger on the first page that had a pigeon drawn , and Sona read - "Ka se?"
Devaansh promptly replied - "Kabootar"
"Good" Sonakshi appreciated, as she pointed her finger on the second page, that had a rabbit on it- "Kha se?"
Devaansh instead of replying went into a fit of giggle - "Mumma aapka photo"... Sonakshi looked astounded at her son... She felt like laughing, but controlled it...
"Devaansh! Koi masti nahi... Kha se kya hota hai?"
"Khargosh mumma.. " the little boy replied cutely... But then added quickly -" Papa aapko Khargosh bulaate hain na? Aapka naam kya Khargosh bhi hai?"
"Devaansh!!! Concentrate... Padhaai time, no masti now..." Sonakshi admonished her son, though she wasn't able to decide if she should be laughing, or getting angry with Dev to disclose her secret name infront of their baby...
------------
"Dev! Tumi ek dum impossible!" Sonakshi chided Dev at night when he was back home at night... He had been in the process of opening his shirt cuffs after kissing his son, who was already asleep by the time his father was home...
Dev paused for a moment, looked cluelessly at his wife- "Ab maine kya kiya Mrs. Khargosh? Btw do you know how cute you look when you are angry?" he tried cajoling her...
"THIS!!! Exactly this! Dev, first you call me Khargosh, and not Bunny... Then you don't even care to check when and where you call me with these names... Even your son is catching them... He doesn't want to study hindi... The moment Khargosh comes, he starts getting out of my hands saying -Mumma is your other name Khargosh?" Sonakshi told him...
Dev sat on the bed and began shaking in silent laughter -"Toh bol deti na, Yes! That's what my name is..."
"Dev! You need to stop calling me Khargosh, Mr. Dixit!" Sonakshi tried her best to give her order with a finality...
Dev too tried to look astonished- "Arre, aise kaise! Khargosh has so many memories associated with you... How can I not call you Khargosh?"
"Wo main nahi jaanti" Sonakshi shrugged her shoulder...
She was about to leave when Dev held her wrist - "Ek shart pe I can stop calling you Khargosh!"
"What condition?" Sonakshi asked cautiously...
Dev pulled her on the bed with himself, and caged her with his arms and legs - "If we can make some fresh memories to be able to call you with a different name..."
Sonakshi closed her eyes in a silent surrender, coz she knew, there's no escape from his adventure to making memories tonight!
