Drabble 3.

"Enough of chit chatting for the night kids, off to bed now. Kia you have college tomorrow and Aaru you have to go for rehearsals!" scoffed Pragya at the devils as they kept smirking at her.

Abhi, though he didn't say anything, suddenly acted very busy with his phone. The Mehra's were sitting around the dining table, dinner was over, but they were still chatting - it was a regular thing for them, whenever all four could manage to have dinner together, a round of coffee and chats did follow dinner.

"Ahem Ahem" coughed Kia and looked at Aarav with a mischievous smile, "Bhai, they are definitely hiding something! We cant let this go can we?"

"Of course not Kia! And look at dad, he is trying so hard to pull off a straight face!" and both the children burst out laughing.

"Abhi, you nah! Can't you tell them to go to bed? This is the result of your unnecessary pampering that these two have become such hooligans!" Pragya tried again, but it was to no effect.

"Uff mumma, no more drama. Say nah. How did your and dad's love story begin? Was it love at first sight?" asked Kiarah with more enthusiasm this time.

"Dumb ass don't you know, they had an arrange marriage?? Dad, did you have a girlfriend before mom?" asked Aarav with a naughty smile.

Abhi looked up at the question, what initially started as a joke, was turning into graver topics. He glanced at Pragya once and she looked as stumped at Aaru's question, he finally though of intervening and stirring the conversation away from there.

"No, I didn't have a girlfriend before I met your mom" he replied shortly. "And if the jury enquiry for the night is over, off to bed both of you!" he smiled.

"What dad, don't be a bore - you were a young dynamic Rockstar! You want us to buy this crap? - and I am giving you one more chance to alter your answer, you know, you're a celebrity, I just need to Google you and we ll know!" he winked.

"Aaru, don't act too smart okay! Just because you're about to be launched, doesn't make you any older or wiser! Off to bed now!" replied Pragya through gritted teeth - One chapter of supermodel Tanu in the past was enough for her lifetime, she didn't need her name resurfacing in the Mehra household ever again, not even in innocent jest of her children.

Abhi glanced at Pragya and realized why she behaved like this, that one woman had reeked havoc in her life from the time she had married him, her life would have been destroyed, but thankfully they fell in love with each other and there was no looking back. But looking at his children he knew, they had a hint of something already, they wouldn't let it go easily, he had to do something.

"Okay, I will tell you the story, but promise me you both will be off our back on this after that?"

"YES" both replied unanimously and Pragya looked at Abhi in shock.

"So, there was this one starry night, when I was shooting near the beach when a bony lump of mass fell on me...she said she was on a bridge nearby, and after catching a glimpse of the Rockstar, she couldn't control her urge to jump on me ..." Began Abhi.

"Hmph. LIAR. I didn't jump on you Abhishek Mehra! I fell off the bridge!!" retorted Pragya in self defence as their children pealed in laughter. Abhi ignored the intervention, and continued.

"As I caught her from drowning, she recited a poetry she had written on me and hearing that I decided I should marry her - her skill for writing lyrics was good, I would get a free lyricist for life - hence" finished Abhi satisfied.

"Oh My GOD, your dad is such a liar children! Don't believe him!! He recited the poetry thing not me! In fact I could hardly make out who he was! My specs were wet and eyesight bad! And what more, did you know when he realized I am not the model he was supposed to be saving, he DROPPED me down! Love my foot! Be happy I married you after that!" she finished after retorting with full vigour.

Abhi just laughed, how he wished this was indeed the real truth of how love had unfolded between them, but destiny had planned their lovestory differently, this was only how they met, after that what followed was so different and wrong. But today sitting in their dining space chatting with his and Fuggy's children about how he met their mother, he had no regrets!

"But dad, did you really never have a girl before mom? You know google keeps throwing these tabloid articles mentioning a certain supermodel named -----"

"Yes her, I had given her, her first break and she was your Aaloo bua's close friend at one point, and she err..liked me - everything else is media rumours - that's what they will teach you dealing with in the next week of your pre-launch training." Finished Abhi, somehow he didn't want Tanu's name to be uttered by either of his children, she was foul and he didn't want to hear her name in his household. He glanced at Pragya, she was looking back at him with a content face.

"Hmph. Silly woman, like she ever had a chance of competing with my mumma" gave out Kia defensively and Aarav nodded in complete consent. The two looked so cute when they defended their mom that Pragya couldn't help laughing in satisfaction, Abhi laughed too.

"You're right beta, before Mrs. Hitler Mehra here, no one ever really stood a chance"

Drabble 4

"Hey dad, you got a minute?" asked Aaru nervously as he entered Abhi's studio. Abhi actually didn't have time right then, he was finalizing a scratch for his son's debut performance, but when he looked up at Aaru's face, he changed his mind.

"Sure, come on in. What's up buddy?"

"Err...needed your advice dad. Please don't tell mom" Abhi looked at his face, even though nowadays he mostly acted like an adult, but these sudden statements like "don't tell mom" often brought out a sneak peek of his childishness - which Abhi rarely got to see nowadays. He managed to hid his laughter and asked in a serious voice.

"Any serious business buddy?"

"Yeah man, need advice, man to man" he replied with equal suave. Abhi just about managed to pass his snort as a cough.

"Go on, tell me" he begun.

"Dad - girl issues. You comfy discussing it?" he asked in an undertone.

Abhi could help but laugh this time, seeing his face and expression and also imagining Fuggy's expression if she was nearby, her bacha discussing girls!? She would have a fit.

"Sure son, we can discuss them. Girlfriend issue?" Abhi began.

"Sort of. There is this girl in Kia's class, she err..."

"She likes you?" Abhi asked.

"No, she likes Vansh. And Kiarah considers her as threat. So I er.."

"You?" Abhi looked at his son trying best not to let his brain do the thinking, of course Aaru is talking about something completely different, he knew Aaru was more like him in character then Pragya, but he had Pragya's genes too, Abhi told himself to be calm.

"So, you know dad, I don't like Kia upset. I er..I er.. I asked her out. And she, that gold-digger, she knows I will be launched soon right, plus I am your son, she even accepted my proposal! But now, prom is next week and my real girlfriend will go with me to the prom, then this girl will know I have two-timed her, and might even go tell my real girlfriend, or worse go back to Vansh! Kia will be very upset then. And I cant take her to the prom, then others will see us and tell my real girlfriend about her - I will be busted then..dad, I know this is complicated, what should I do? I am only trying to protect Kia's interest, but I hate this complication." He finished.

Abhi stared at him in disbelieve. He truly was his son, not only did Aaru inherit his voice, but his attitude too. Yesterday he was at Aaru's place and he knew why it sounded like a good idea to Aaru, but heaven know he was going to explain how wrong his action was! He panicked. Fuggy couldn't know about this. Kia couldn't go the Aaliya way. Today he understood how helpless his daadi must have felt, when she had finally come to know about the truth of his and Pragya's marriage in the past. History was repeating itself, and it wasn't good news.

"Beta, are you sure, this girl actually likes Vansh and it is not a misunderstanding?" he asked and was surprised to find that his voice was shaking.

"Absolutely dad, Kia has a photo of them together at a cafe"

One more invisible punch Abhi felt in his gut.

"Beta, you are not helping Kia this way, if they like each other, Kia has to let go, we will talk to her. You tell that girl the truth and go back to your girlfriend..." but Abhi wasn't sure if his second advice was right, had he done the same, he would never have lived so happily with his fuggy today, but from where they stood, thisdefinitely seemed like the righ thing to do - but by advicing Aaru was he taking away his opportunity to meet the right girl? True Aaru was way younger and he had a lot of time, but what if this was the girl for her? Would he lose her because of his advice? He couldn't discuss this with Pragya, she would freak out and Aaru and Kia would face her wrath, they were wrong, but they didn't deserve to face this one wrath of their mother's, Pragya's bitter memories would come out and she didn't deserve it either. Abhi racked through his brain, how to tell Aaru what the problem is and also not chance upon his future?

"Dad, are you thinking? Do you have a solution?" Abhi heard Aaru's voice and came back to the present.

"Beta, I can show the way, the decision has to be made by you and the journey is yours" whispered Abhi, caressing the boys cheeks.

"Then show me the way dad." Came his innocent retort. "I only did everything for Kia, I cant see her hurt dad, I fight with her, but she is my little sister" he whispered, glancing behind him once to ensure he was only in his dads presence now, when he was vulnerable.

Abhi smiled in understanding, Aaru was Pragya's son too, hence he had the sense to come and discuss it with him before plunging into action, he wished Aaru was a bit more like Pragya, then he would have discussed this before proposing to the other young girl. Today while advising Aarav, Abhi felt strange seeing the similarity between his and his son's story, they were so similar, yet it could be so different from this point judging by what decision Aaru would take. He wondered if he had the choice would he have discussed his situation with his dad? If he did, he wouldn't have been with Fuggy today, so was he glad that in a way he didn't have his dad with him then? Life often offered such complicated situations and overwhelmed men he thought. Then he turned to Aarav.

"In my advice beta, let me tell you a little story. Our story. Your mom's, bua's, mine and a stranger's story. Then you decide." Aarav smiled in satisfaction and sat down to learn from history.

Awesome! Aaru and Kia rock..
