sorry for the mistakes

Part D

The girls played with Ansh they questioned him about where was he, they told that they were with nana and nani in Mumbai, they commented about how thin Ansh was and also mama if they weren't getting food where they were; if it was a bad place, why did they go there, they spoke of their dream with the witches grabbing mama and Ansh if the witch was the one whom sent them to the bad place. They said that they thought that mama had left them just as their first mama did; they believed that they are bad girls that is why their first mama left them when they were babies, and papa don't love them then now their Aarti mama left them and papa sent them away as punishment.

The adults heard the innocent talk of the kids and Yash told about his wish to have a professional speak to Ansh SP said that all three kids needs help judging by their conversation all the adults agreed

Aarti told Yash that they need to speak with the kids and that they should play with them while getting them ready for bed, encouraging them to say how they feel. Yash agreed because he was feeling guilty about what the twins said.

Aarti took the girls and bathed them she played a game with them while bathing them and they laughed and jumped in the tub causing a mess but Aarti did not mind her girls were happy they told how nana ji bathed them every day and she sang to them while dressing them. They also said before mama came daadi ji, daadi bua ji or tayi would bathe and dress them but would not play with them only chachu and taya played and told stories also Ramdularie Kaka would tell stories to them.

They hugged their mama and cried begging her never to leave them again that they will be good girls so papa will also love them. Aarti hugged them close and told that she will never leave her angels again because she loves them so much, and that papa loves them too, it is just that he is scared to show it because he fears them leaving him too like their first mama but with their help and love he will no longer be scared.

But mama he loves Ansh and plays with him why? Is it because he is a boy?

Aarti told that their papa don't know how to play with girls because he has no sisters and no girlfriends growing up so they will have to be patient and show him how to play with them. This made the twins feel much better especially when mama said that they three will help him talk and play with his girls.

Yash was standing at the bathroom door and he heard the conversation, he was deeply affected by the longing in the girls voices he may not be their biological father but he is the father figure they known all their young lives, and it is only right that they would seek love and acceptance from him.

That night the kids wanted to sleep with their mama so Yash had the idea of placing the mattress on the floor of the kid's room and all five would sleep together there.

The girls held on to Aarti and Ansh his papa they wanted a story and Yash quickly made up one based on their family with a very happy ending Again Ansh had his bad dream but it was not as horrible he held on to his papa tightly and his little body trembled until he fell asleep; as if on que the girls also had their moment where they cried and call out for their Aarti mama but also fell asleep when they heard her voice soothing them back to sleep Aarya looked at each other with understand this whole incident has a bad impact on their angels and they need to seek professional help soon for their angels.

The following days the kids barely left their parents for any lengthy periods; they played with Aaman and his parents who stayed back because they wanted what is the child psychologist diagnosis and treatment; their uncles and dada ji showered them with so much love but they still wanted their parents close to them.

SP got them an appointment with a child psychologist who spent a couple of hours playing with them she got them to role play their family with dolls and through the dolls they acted like their family members.

The psychologist told AarYa that they kids are affected deeply by their home life and she needed more sessions with them, that the twins fear their father, and the grandparents makes them feel loved sometimes and then other times they feel rejected by them. They love their new mama very much and the don't ever want to be separated from her that during the three weeks separation they thought that they were bad girls that is why she left and took their bhayia and their papa was angry with them so he sent they away. They said that the cried and prayed every day for their mama to return so that papa would bring them back home and they could be a family again

Ansh feels the loss of his papa strongly; the three weeks separation make him fearful because he did not have his papa in the early years of his life and he fears losing his papa again now after finally finding him; he is also traumatize because his new daadi ji and bua daadi ji don't love him they don't speak or play with him and they call him and his mama all sort of mean names; one night they woke him up and threw both his mama and him into the rain and chase away them from their papa.

The three kids call their grandmothers the evil witches after the fairy tales they are read.

Aarya was heartbroken after the Dr showed them the cd of the session the kids were acting out their family roles to the letter of every ones character.

The adults discussed what the Dr said and Prateek observed how stressed AarYa were that was not good for Aarti so he arranged with Pankaj and Aaman for them to take the kids for the reminder of the day and night. SP, Paridhi and Aaman's parents joined they took them for playtime in the park, then a movie and dinner then again for a nice long walk in the garden of the hotel they had dinner in lucky for them there was a play for kids taking place in the same garden and the little trio enjoyed themselves their mind was distracted from their parents and the fell asleep. Prateek took Ansh to sleep with him and Aaman took the twins.

Aarya was grateful for their time alone they spent the afternoon in bed loving and exploring each other to their hearts content, followed by a leisurely bath enjoying their private time together rebuilding their relationship brick by brick on the firm foundation of love, trust, support and respect for each other.

Yash worked with Aarti in the kitchen cooking their favorites dishes but that progressed slowly because he back hugged her most of the time and rained kisses on her neck and face, holding her hands as she stirred the pots. Only after some gentle scolding and fake anger on Aarti's part did Yash sit at the table and help cut vegs for the salad.

They had their dinner on the terrace adjoining their room enjoying the night's sky, reminiscing about their time before their marriage in Delhi their courting day, the plans they had for their happy future then of course all the problems they faced in the last five years during their forced separation; vowing to always stand by each other in all the good and bad times, they spoke about their kids and came up with the conclusion that it is in every one's best interest if the twins live with them and when they are old enough they will tell them the truth.

Aarya were sitting in their front garden enjoying the night when the family returned the kids fast asleep Prateek told that they would take care of them for the night giving Aarya more time alone to enjoy.

That night in their room they again had a hot steamy passionate encounter completely satisfied they slept in each other's arms happy and secure in their love.

Paridhi spent her time since Aarti return apologizing for her behavior she helped with the house work told Aarti that she will help with the kids and allow Aarti to rest as Drs said she needed to eat regularly and take rest.

Pari told about the problems she had with the responsibility of the house thrown at her together with looking after bauji who was so worried about Aarti, Ansh and Yash, she had to make sure all his medications and meals were taken on time and be the punching bag when he became frustrated over not finding both Aarti and Ansh; that she too had to mentally mature and stay strong for her broken family this made her understand the error of her ways of not defending Aarti and Ansh against their saas and bua ji, also not making the effort to make friends with Aarti before instead of being a very self-centered child.

Paridhi told her about Vidhi bhabhi and the argument with Pankaj bhayia; she even contacted Vidhi so Aarti could speak to her. Vidhi cried and beg for forgiveness and Aarti being the kind soul forgive her, she even spoke to Pankaj bhayia on Vidhi behalf but Pankaj believed that Vidhi needed some more time away he wanted her to fully understand what life is for a woman with no family around to help no support from your friends just you alone in the world to fend for yourself and her father agreed with his point of view.
