Khushi, talk to me na, pretty please.! I promise I will get you a new Barbie in the evening.. I'm sorry for forgetting your birthday too.. Sid pleaded while driving as he looked towards Khushi to find her looking out of the window with a puffed up face. He sighed realizing she was in a mood to sulk and there was nothing that he could do. She was a replica of Geet when it came down to sulking.!

Mumma says no talking when you are driving. Khushi will not talk to anyone. She said looking at him and then turning away again before he could talk any further. He groaned and cursed Geet mentally for making him going through Khushi's tantrums when she was already miffed with him for forgetting her birthday. Geet was supposed to drop her to school but with their conversations taking a drastic turn, she had stormed out of the house leaving behind a sulking Khushi..

Princess, this is not fair, you should be angry with your mom and not me. She was the one who walked out of the house in anger and didn't drop you to school. But see, your sweetheart loves you so much, how could I not drop my princess to school on her bday.? He said looking at her excitedly and ended up earning a glare from her as well as a " Katti "which happened to be her favorite gesture when she was in a sulking mood.

You forgot my birthday. She mumbled sadly still looking away from the window. He sighed loudly and stopped the car infront of the school. Before he could say any further she got down the car and started walking away. He was stunned, she was 4 but she was far more ahead of kids of her usual age. Well one thing was confirmed, she knew how to sulk exactly like her mother. A smile cornered his lips thinking of how adorable his princess was. Quickly getting down the car, he got down on his knees and pulled her tiny form back towards himself gently before she could go any further.

Khushi, wait na baba. Don't you want to see what your sweetheart has for you.? Please forgive me sweetheart.. He pleaded holding his ears and making a puppy face. He could see a smile coming up her tiny lips. It was the Khushi smile which could light up anyone's mood. With his eyes still on her face, he retrieved the gift he had been trying to hide from her till the evening but he was sure it was the only way he had of pampering her.

This is for my princess. He said holding it out infront of her. He saw her eyes widen in excitement, another one of Geet's habits. She was more like Geet than that girl ever accepted, she would always argue over it with him. Just as Khushi was about to grab the gift, her face became serious again and she looked at him questioningly.

Sid uncle, are you trying to b...b..br..br..The word mumma says, are you doing that.? If I tell mumma, she will beat you with a stick. Khushi said taking him by shock. Damn, there was no way the little devil could be four. She didn't know the word bribe, but she could easily make out that he was bribing her. He ran his hand through his hair and looked at her apologetically. The mother and daughter would be the death of him.

Meri daadiaama, this is not a bribe. It's a gift for you. Now please forgive your sid uncle na. I promise I won't forget your bday next year. Pinky promise.. He said kissing her lightly on her pink soft cheeks. The next second all his worries vanished away as he heard her charming giggle fill his ears.

Ahhh, your dadi tickling me. She giggled making him smile with her cuteness.

It's not dadi, its beard you little devil. You are my Daadi. He said pinching nose when he suddenly heard her gasp.

Sid uncle, you are getting me late for school. Do you want my teacher to scold me on my birthday.? Now shoo away to mumma, Khushi is getting late for school. She said and patted him on his cheek.

What about your gift princess.? He urged as he could still see the excitement twinkling in her eyes.

No no, no gift now. If I see it now, I will get happy happy and then I will be late for school. Tell mumma that Khushi is angry with her. She continued with the same puffed up cheeks.

As you say Daadiamma, I'll let your mumma know that you are angry with her. He said laughing as well as feeling sorry for Geet, knowing she would have a tough time pacifying her princess.

Bye Sid Uncle. She giggled and ran out of his arms after pressing her tiny on to his cheeks. He smiled widely as he watched her run away towards her school trying to hold her big dress together. She was tiniest and cutest little thing possible.! Laughing to himself, he drove away from her school. He had seen her grow from a one day old tiny baby to his 4 year old Daadiamma. He was more than happy to have her and Geet in his life, he had been there for them always and he would always be there, if only Geet was ready to give him that right. As their morning conversation rang back in his ears, his smile vanished and all he could do was hope.

Rahul, this is your first day at your new school. I know it will be new surroundings, but I know my champ can do it. Be nice to everyone and make lots of new friends, Champ.! And yes, no fooling around. Maan said in a soft tone to a nervous Rahul in front of him. His heart melted looking at the innocence in Rahul's eyes. It was that innocence he never wanted to loose and would go to no limits to protect him. He was always very protective towards Rahul but it was time he let his fears subside and give Rahul his space. Though Rahul never complained, but he had had enough lectures from his parents about his over protectiveness towards Rahul.

Yes Dadda. I promise I will behave like a good boy and won't trouble anyone.. He said smiling at Maan.

That's like my Champ, now give Dadda a hug.! He said pulling Rahul tightly against his chest. Rahul meant the world to him. Rahul waited for Maan to let him go, but he wasn't ready to let go.

Dadda, I'm getting late na, let me go. You always get emotional so quickly. Rahul said patting Maan's back and giggling in his ears. Maan broke the hug and looked at him with narrowed eyes. Rahul laughed even more looking at his face.

Dadda, you know that I love you.. But I am getting late.. Teacher will be angry with me.. Rahul said kissing Maan hard on his cheeks.

Dadda loves champ too.. Now go.. He said with a smile and watched Rahul run away towards his school. Just as he was about to get into his car, he heard a cry grabbing his attention.

Mummmaaa.. Khushi cried out as she fell on the ground with a thud, scraping her hands and elbow. She felt a pair of legs tangle with hers and a cry came along with hers.

Ahhh.. Rahul cried as he too hit the ground with a thud. Maan looked towards Rahul to find him lying on the ground crying. He rushed towards him and picked him up trying to calm him down..

It's okay champ, you are a strong big boy. It's just a few scratches. You will be fine. Stop crying.. Maan tried to console him wiping away his tears. Khushi sat up and looked down at her dress, it was spattered with mud and was dirty. Tears clouded her eyes as she saw her pretty princess bday dress ruined. Big fat tears streamed down her eyes as she tried to control her tears.

Mumma, princess dress.! Her tearful voice broke through the place making Maan and Rahul look towards her. Maan's heart melted as he looked in her direction while the tears streamed down her big brown eyes. She was such an adorable kid, he hated to see those tears in her eyes. He quickly walked towards her and picked her up from the ground..

Hey, it's okay.! He said wiping her tears away as she sniffed trying to wipe her tears away as well.

Mumma.. Princess Dress.. Birthday... Khushi spoiled it.. Sorry Mumma.. She kept blabbering as Maan watched her with a smile.

Its okay sweetie, Mumma won't be angry. Are you okay.? He asked his voice full of concern. Khushi looked up at him with her big hazels shining with big fat tears as she heard Maan's words.

Do you know my Mumma.? She asked innocently with her eyes becoming big in excitement as the tears glinted in her eyes. Maan laughed hearing her question.

No sweetie, I don't know your Mumma but I am sure she won't be angry with you because you are her princess.. He said making her gasp..

How do you know Khushi is Mumma's princess.? She asked with her wide hazels getting wider. He couldn't but grin wider realizing how adorable she was.

Because you look exactly like one.! So anyone can see that you are your Mumma's princess.. He said making her smile widely at him. She laughed through her tears and her laugh made him smile down at her.

How did you fall down.? Are you hurt badly.? He said checking her hands which were covered by scratches and some blood.

Dadda, I was running and I didn't see her, so I pushed her and then we both fell. I'm sorry.. He heard Rahul say who walked towards them holding his ears.

Say sorry to her Champ, you spoiled her dress.. Maan said looking at Rahul who was still standing there holding his ears.

It was my Mumma's gift for me. Mumma will be sad because of Khushi.. She said with a sad face again. Maan smiled at both the cuties who stood infront of him. Something about Khushi just touched his heart, he had never seen such innocence ever. Though all kids reflect their innocence, but the innocence reflecting off her was heart warming. He looked towards Rahul, signalling him to apologize to her.

Sorry. He heard Rahul apologize to her. His smile became wider when he saw her smile at him and holding her hand out to him. Rahul instantly took it and shook it gently. Both gave each other a toothy grin and

Okay kids, it's time for you both to go inside. You both are already late. I will take you and Khushi to the nurse first. She's hurt her hands and elbows badly, her scratches need to be bandaged or else it will hurt her. Even you need to see the nurse.! Maan said taking her into his arms and walking beside Rahul.

Geet, why don't you just listen to me.? You will not find it here. It's just a waste of our time.. Sid whined as she dragged him into another shop looking for a memento. She rolled her eyes at him and entered the shop and he followed her with a groan.

I'm not going to forgive you for this ever Geet. First you made me face the wrath of my sweetheart all alone and now you are torturing me for finding your memento.! Geet, he is just an old hag, you don't need to strive yourself so much. Sid whined but she completely ignored him and kept looking through the showroom.

Sid, if you can help me, then please do. If not, just shut up for a while. Even I don't like this anymore than you do, but still I am looking. Why can't you.? She said glaring at him. He made a face at her and walked off towards the other section looking at the pieces. She giggled to herself thinking about the glare he threw in her direction. She walked around the place trying to find the right gift. A beautiful statue carved out of pure crystal caught her eye, it was just stunning. The light glimmered off if reflecting into uncountable shimmering rays, illuminating the place. It was exactly the thing she was looking for.

Can I see the *Crystal Magic* .? Two voices called out at the same time. Geet looked in the direction from where the voice came from only to be rooted at her spot. For a second the world seemed to stop around her, It was him. The very person she had hoped not to see again in her life was standing just a few feet away from her. He looked exactly the way he always was, the same charming looks and personality. The only difference was the presence of a new wariness in his eyes, something that was not normal for someone like him. She could see the expressions on his face changing from surprise to shock. He was no less shocked to see her.! The moment her brain registered his face, her past once again came crashing down on her. None of them realized that they were staring at each other for too long until the voice of a man broke the silence in the place.

Ma'am, sir, we have only one piece of this. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Can I find either of you something else.? He said looking towards her but she was far too lost. Hearing his voice, she snapped out of the shock and looked around the place to find everyone staring at them.

No.. It's fine.. I don't want it. I will look for something else. Thank you.. She said to the man in a cool tone and walked away from the counter. She tried her best to keep her cool and walked out of the place knowing she wouldn't be able to stand there a second longer without loosing herself to her anger which was burning her heart for the past 4 years. She had lost count of how many times she had yearned for an opportunity to confront him, yet now nothing seemed to matter. His presence disgusted her. He stood there watching her retreating figure, he could clearly read the shock and disgust in her eyes. He was no less stunned to see her.. The last time he had seen her was 4 years back. It wasn't a time he particularly remembered but he couldn't bring himself to forget it either. He wanted to stop her and face her, but he didn't have the courage within him and the look of disgust in her eyes sealed his words in his mouth..

She walked out of the showroom with tears of anger clouding her eyes. She had the opportunity in her hand, yet she walked away. She didn't want any of it, she wanted nothing to do with him now. She has suffered enough because of him and she wasn't ready to lose herself again. Just as she was about to walk any further a hand grabbed her and spun her around...

Have you gone mad.? I have been calling out to your like an idiot and you are simply walking away.? What's wrong with you Geet.? Sid bit out at her. She looked up to find his questioning eyes looking down at her. As he looked closely at her face, he could see the tears lingering in her eyes. Geet, what happened.? He asked with concern in every inch of his voice. As she looked deeper into his eyes, she could clearly see it. The very thing she didn't want, it was right there shining in his eyes. It could only be his unsaid love, he had never said it to her just as she wished and napped of but just because he never said it, she couldn't deny seeing it his eyes. He hated it, he was simply dreading those tears which were clouding her eyes. It wasn't that he had never seen them in her eyes, of course he was the one who had seen her cry the most but it had been quite a while he had seen her so broken. No matter how much he tried, he could never erase away his feelings for her, even though he knew she wasn't going to reciprocate his feelings ever, he couldn't stop his heart.

I'm fine Sid, let's go.! She said bluntly and without another word, she jerked her hand out of his hand and walked away leaving him stunned and hurt by her behaviour.

Naani, nooo. I can't eat more. My tummy is phulll.. See, how big it looks. I won't look good with such a big tummy. She heard Khushi wail as her mom was trying to feed her. She smiled when she saw the devil jump down the table and run around the room making her Naani run after her. Now that looked normal. Her laugher rang around the room, it was just the perfect sound she needed to make her dreadful day better. She was lost on her own thoughts when she felt 2 hands around waist.

Hi Mumma.. She looked to find Khushi grinning up at her. She immediately bent down and picked her up into her arms.

Mumma, did you fight with my sweetheart.? She asked sadly as Geet walked over to the table and sat on the chair taking her along. She looked at Khushi in confusion, was there anything her little devil didn't know.? He pinched her tiny red nose..

Your sweetheart has given you the right name, you are a Daadimaa. How do you know everything baby.?? Geet laughed looking t her big hazels which were shining with disappointment.

Uffo Mumma, sweetheart always comes home with you to meet me. He only doesn't come when he and Mumma fight with each other. Khushi said holding her head. Geet couldn't help but shake her head at her daughter's cuteness.

Yes, mumma fought with your sweetheart. And it was Mumma's fault. So I will go and say sorry to him. All right Daadiamma.? Geet continued when she saw the bandage on Khushi's hands. She took her hand in hers and looked closely.

What happened to your hands Khushi.? Geet asked panicking and frantically checking her hands.

Mumma, I am fine. I fell down Mumma. Rahul pushed me by mistake but he said sorry to me. And then chocolate uncle took me to the nurse and dropped me to my class. Khushi said and patted Geet's cheeks assuring that she was fine and moving her hands to the frown on Geet's forehead trying to smooth it out. Geet smiled with tears and placed a kiss on her little angel's cheeks.

Who's chocolate uncle.? And why chocolate uncle.? Doesn't he have a name.? She asked in confusion and she saw a grin cover Khushi's face..

He is Rahul's dadda. He gave me a big choco for my birthday and chocolate uncle because he is as sweet as chocolates.. He took care of when the nurse was putting medicine on my hands.. Chocolate uncle..Yummy. Mumma can I have another chocolate.? Khushi said jumping up and down on the table. A pang of helplessness washed over her heart. Though Khushi had never asked or wished for, but didn't she deserve a fathers love.? She was so happy because of someone else's dad, how happy would she be when her father would pamper her.? The word Dadda from her lips slashed through Geet's heart, was she taking away her angels childhood in her battle with her past.? She had been avoiding the thoughts all along, but what if her mom was right and Khushi would indeed ask about her dad one day.? She looked at Rano who was looking at her intently, her words rang in Geet's ears. Unable to hold back her tears, she left the table and ran into the garden. Tears streamed down her face as she let go off the pain she was trying hold back as her past started haunting her once again.!
