A fresh start a new beginning...
I was standing in our balcony breathing the fresh morning air before my hectic day starts. Sun was rising slowly breaking through the darkness of the night. I sipped my coffee leaning to the railing in our balcony. The alarm started ringing as it was now 6AM which was the usual time for my darling to wake up. I turned around to see him frowning at the sound of alarm. He turned his face to the other side and closed his ear with the other pillow to stop the sound from the most irritating thing on earth (according to him). I sighed and walked back into the room and turned the alarm off . I know he must be smiling now. He snuggled more into the blanket and hugging the comforter more.
"manik.. wake up.." I said pulling the sheets off his face but he pulled them back with more force. I hate this now...I adore him doing all the antics like kids.. but today was an important day and still he was cribbing.. sometimes no mostly he is more worse that a kid for waking up in the mornings.
I pulled the comforter with more force and he groaned
"I swear nandini... let me sleep.. or else " he warned me but I was also adamant.. "stop being a kid manik.. wake up.." I said in a stern tone and like finally he work up and sat on the bed.
"come here..." he said opening his arms with his eyes still closed. I smiled and sat on his lap and took him in my embrace hiding him in my arms. He hid his face in my hair like a baby and snuggled more into my neck making me giggle. he wrapped his hands around my waist holding me tightly. This was our daily routine. He wanted me to be the first one to see when he opens his eyes. After good 15 minutes of morning cuddling I slowly brushed his hair with my fingers...he loves when I do that.. I could feel his lips curve into a beautiful smile on my neck.
"manik.." I called him slowly and he just hummed in response.
"come on... get ready jaan.." I called him "jaan" as he would never say no if I call him like that and he hummed again. He was drawing patterns on my waist with his fingers sending shivers down my spine and I held him more tightly shivering.
"what were you saying.." he said in a husky voice and before something can happen .. startling him I got up from his lap and stood in front of him
"ill prepare the breakfast.. get ready and come down.." I said in a stern tone and walked out of the room and heard him huffing and finally he got up to get ready.
After 30 minutes:
I served him with his favourite breakfast and his smile grew wider looking at it.. expected..!
"I love you..." he said kissing my cheek pulling me to his lap and I blushed. I started feeding him as I know today he was acting all baby stuffs because after THEY come he will become all serious atleast in front of them.
"go now.. otherwise you will be late.. and as far as I know the mini monsters don't like waiting specially when they were returning home.." I said wiping his lips with the pallu of my saree and he smiled widely and pecked my lips in return making me blush to the deepest shade of red.
"love you.. miss me.." he said as he walked out of the door to pick them up.
Airport:
A girl and a boy of around 5 years were waiting along with 2 other people who were in their early 60's.
"granny how long do we have to wait.." the girl asked tapping her foot irritatingly and the lady smiled and said
"just few more minutes.. he is parking his car.. and he will be here any minute.." she said and the little girl turned her head pouting.
"stop being so grumpy Tara.. dad is coming nah.." the little boy said and she huffed more.
"sorry sorry I was stuck in traffic.." manik said holding his ears kneeling down in front of the little ones and the very next moment he was hugged by the two little kids.
"we missed you daddy.." they said together and he hugged them more tightly and said "even daddy missed you.." they broke the hug and he kissed their foreheads and in turn being kissed by them on his cheeks. Tara again hugged him and said with tears in her eyes
"papa.. I love you soo much.. more than Krish .." he chuckled at her antics and said "yeah yeah I know.. you love me more than anyone.." and picked her up in his arms standing up.
"dad this is not fair.. you cant do this to me.. you always pamper her more than me.. I also love you.." Krish said with tears in his eyes and manik sighed. He held Tara with one hand and picked up Krish with other hand (he was used to it)
"nothing is like that beta(son)... I love you both equally..." both the little ones sniffed and he walked towards the car holding both of them. He made them sit in the car and came back to his parents who were standing there with very big smiles on their faces.
"hi mom hi dad.." manik greeted them and they smiled in return.
"they are just like you.." his mother said as he picked up the bags and walked towards the car. Manik rolled his eyes and said "I was never jealous of you both pampering mukthi.."
"yes you were not because you were elder to her and your kids are twins.." dad said and chuckled.
"yeah I know that.. this is the only toughest part.." manik said sighing and they both giggled looking at him.
*********
"mom we are home..." Krish and Tara screamed running into the house and I came to them and kneeled down in front of them and both literally squeezed me in their tight hug. I broke the hug and kissed both of them and they too returned the favour.
"go.. freshen up.. I made your favourite breakfast.." I said standing up and they ran to their room fighting for the washroom. Uff they were impossible.
"one of you can use the washroom in our room.." I shouted from the lounge hearing their screams for "who would go first"
"hello mom.. hi dad.." I said touching their feet and they blessed me.
"how was your trip.. did the kids trouble you..?" I asked them as they settled themselves on the sofa.
"nope.. the trip was amazing.. we 4 had lot of fun.. and I guess you 2 also had more fun than us.." dad said winking at manik and I was giving competition to tomatoes for sure.. I ran into the kitchen and manik glared at his father for teasing us and mom just laughed loudly.
"dad.. please.. stop embarrassing us.." I head manik saying it gritting his teeth followed my dad's hearty laugh. My family was crazy.
