. " enough Sia, now it's lunch time."
Khushi turned to get her curd and rice but naughty Sia, held Khushi's dupatta to stop her.
And then what she did, surprised both Arnav and Khushi.
" maaa." She called out.
Khushi's ears shot up and Arnav was stunned.
" did she say something?" Khushi asked in disbelief. Her eyes moved from Arnav to Sia. She stared down at Sia, not being able to believe her ears.
" Sia?" Khushi called.
" maa." She repeated, this time opening her mouth wide, leaving no room for doubt.
Khushi felt her throat go dry and a heavy lump formed within her. She dropped herself on the bed and gaped at Sia.
" Sia." This time she could only manage to whisper.
" Maa." However Sia was louder than before.
Tears trickled down Khushi's cheeks as she peered up at Arnav who himself was going through similar emotions. He pushed back his tears and slowly nodded his head.
" Sia..maasi" she had hoped that whenever Sia would start speaking, she'd would call her maasi.
Sia clapped her hands and repeated. " maa."
" maasi." Khushi tried to get her to say maasi.
" maa." She remained firm on her word.
" let it be Khushi, maa sounds wonderful." She was actually Sia's mother then why would Sia call her maasi. Children are innocent...they can't lie.
Khushi wiped her wet cheeks with the back of her hands and smiled broadly. The happiness that she was feeling couldn't be expressed in words. She pulled Sia in her arms and kissed her.
She once again glanced at Arnav. " this is too good to be true." Arnav was more than delighted to see Khushi so happy. She totally deserved this joy.
" Sia..paa." She pointed at Arnav. If she could say maa, then she could also call him paa.
Sia raised her head and looked at Arnav, yeah he was her paa, she knew that...so she simply smiled at him.
" Paaa." Khushi urged Sia to call him. Even Arnav peered down at Sia with bated breath..would she say that word. He knew he wasn't her father...he wasn't even worthy to father, Khushi's child..but still his heart wanted to hear it..just once.
" Sia say paa" Khushi tried again. Sia turned her neck, looked at Khushi, smiled and opened her mouth.
Arnav stared at her open mouth and waited..and prayed.
