<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4"></font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Dad, that bit there is left, cover it"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Where, here?"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Yes, wait let me help you"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">Pragya enters the room to see her sixteen-year-old daughter
sincerely helping her father cover up the slight greys that have occasionally
started peeping from here and there in his head.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"There, done? All covered?"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Yeah dad, perfect" Kiarah smiles satisfied.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">Pragya is surprised, hadn't Abhi just returned from his
stylist some half an hour back? And since when did hiding those occasional
greys become so important, didn't he mention it the other day that "salt and
pepper" is in and what not?</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Abhi! Kia! What are you two upto now?" she said sternly
folding her arms before her chest. Sometimes she needed to be unnecessarily stern;
otherwise there was no telling with her gang of monkeys. A little relaxation
and they would dance on her head.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Mumma, dad will be meeting Vansh today, so he is dressing
up"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Why does dad need to dress up for meeting Vansh? He is a
Rockstar! Vansh needs to dress up" finished Pragya in proud indignation and
earned a scowl from her daughter as Abhi chuckled in amusement.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">Vansh and Kiarah had a crush on each other since junior
school, however Pragya never agreed to them dating citing studies would be
affected. Only after reaching high-school she had reluctantly allowed them to
go for movies and all, but he couldn't take her without meeting her father Abhi
once.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">However Pragya failed to understand why Abhi was trying so
hard to impress Vansh, it irritated her - she was used to Abhi the rockstar!
The world followed him, why was he so conscious today.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Kia beta go get changed, you will leave soon. I need to
talk to dad"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"All the best dad, now you're busted" she whispered to
Abhi, much to Pragya's annoyance and left. Abhi just sat there chuckling at the
duo.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Abhi, how old are you? Why are you trying to impress your
daughter's boyfriend so hard?" she asked irritably.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"It's not him love, it's Kia I am wanting to impress!" he
whispered urgently.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Huh, but why? She is our daughter Abhi, she doesn't
...----"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"No No No. Pragya you're not getting it! If I look more
handsome than Vansh, Kiarah might not want to go out with him at all! I could
put it in her head that why date a guy who cant even compete your dad! That
way, she will stay away from boys! My angel deserves the best, and I will find
the best for her! Until then, they have to compete me, which isn't easy
darling, I am Rockstar!" he finished proudly. </font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">Pragya couldn't help laughing at Abhi's twisted ways - They
have been married for nineteen years now, and even today Abhi's antics cant
stop amusing her. But since she knew her Kia too, she wanted to back-check,
what was going in her head.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Kiarah, the neckline of this dress is too low, change it!"
scowled Pragya</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"No ways Mumma, gosh you're so outdated!!" Kia scowled
back, sometime Pragya couldn't help notice how much like Abhi his daughter was,
jovial, sassy and as arrogant - they only thing she derived from her genes was
intelligence, and all that together was a lethal combination and hence Pragya
had arrived for "ground-check"</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Why are you so keen on getting dad all dressed up and
looking young? Are you looking for a new mumma for him?" pouted Pragya in sad
sorrow.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Haha, no mumma, we can make do with our boring old mumma
just fine! I will tell you the thing, I just want dad to look his best because,
it gets easier to compare! If Vansh cant beat Abhi the Rockstar in style
quotient, he surely doesn't deserve me! I am the daughter of the Rockstar okay!"
she finished with an air of pride, as Pragya looked at her incredulously.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">"Why God Why? Why did I land up in this sass land? Is she
my daughter? Did Tanu magically deport her daughter in my tummy?" she thought
amused and then laughed, turst Abhi and Kia to think on the exact same lines
without even realizing. "Poor Vansh, he was in for a father-daughter duo round
today" now Pragya felt bad for the poor boy, he didn't know what he had signed
up for tonight.</font>
<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="4">This Abhi and his Kiarah, they never seemed to run out of
random ideas! She sat there chuckling as Kia gave her weird looks not
understanding a thing. When Abhi arrived, he and Kiarah held hands and walked
out of the door - her two brat kids - she laughed at their receding figures, "My
Devil-Duo" she whispered with pride.</font>
