Chapter 30 Epilogue

"Ansh! Ansh! Where is my colors?" Aayna shouted.

"Ansh! Come out from wherever you are hiding. U need to finish ur lunch or else u have to eat veggies for rest of the week." Nandini shouted too..

That worked he came out but like the naughty little boy he is, he started running.

"U little..." Aayna shouted running right behind him.. And Nandini ran behind both of them..

Aayna got him and they started fighting. That means Ansh will scratch and Aayna's target will be his cheeks.

"Both of u stop!!" She shouted but they are malhotra obviously ignored her.

"Ugh!" She wanted to pull my hair. She put Ansh's food on the table and separated both of them, picking up Ansh. Because he will again run.

"Now Aayna, what's wrong sweetie?"

"I have a homework to do but I can't find my coloring box. But I found patterns made by them on the floor. Ask him where he kept them." Aayna's face turned red in anger.

"Ansh, I told u don't touch ur sister's things without asking her. Then why did u?" She asked him.

"Because Mirror didn't let me touch them earlier." He said in his 4 year old baby voice and Aayna scowled.

Oh. Oh she doesn't like when someone call her name in English.

"Don't call me that, u one piece!"

"I am not one piece!" He frowned, puffing his cheeks.

"where is the box now, Ansh?" Nandini asked so that they can stop fighting.

"Under her bed."

"Heard him Aayna? Now go and finish ur homework and u little boy, u need to finish ur lunch."

"He has his color box then why touch mine, I don't understand." Aayna left for her room, mumbling.

"I don't want to eat."

"Ok. Ur Cabir uncle will come with Ranbir later. I won't let u play with him." His face lighten up.

"They are coming? Mommy, I am hungry!"

"Of course u are."

~~~~~~~~~

"Aayna?"

"Papa!!"

"What my princess is doing?"

"I am drawing.. see" Aayna showed Manik her drawings of a flower garden.

"Wow... My princess is getting more and more good in painting."

"But dad, Ansh keep taking my colors and ruin them. See that wall." Aayna pointed towards the wall and Manik turned only to see lots of patterns with different colors going here and there.

"U know he is a little kid. He will do more things like this.. U are his big sister, u know what is wrong and what is right but he doesn't. And I think we can call it a portrait. Today's artist's also art something like this."

"No they don't papa. They had a meaning behind their portrait but Ansh doesn't."

"Anse knows the meaning. After all he was the one who made it. U also did same when u were a little baby."

"I didn't. Mommy said I was the calmest baby."

"Aayna, u are our daughter. How can u be calm?"

"Huh!" Aayna looked at him with a confused expression.

"Nothing. U will understand later when u will become a big girl."

"But I am 7year old, Ansh's big sister so I am a big girl."

"Of course u are. U just need a little time."

Manik checked on Ansh's room and saw him sleeping peacefully. He kissed on his cheek and went to his room.

Nandini was sitting on the bed with a pillow behind her back and another one was on her lap. She had a file over the pillow and she kept her legs straight.

"Tired?" Manik asked sitting beside her.

"Exhausted" Nandini said throwing her head back as she felt Manik massaging her feet.

"Did I make u too exhausted last night?" Manik asked with a smirk.

"Did u forget about morning?" Nandini said smirking back.

"Oh. So that's why u are so tired.."

"And those little miniature of us, specifically Ansh, he always keep me on my toes running behind him."

"Aayna told me about her color box and the portrait Ansh made on her wall."

"Portrait! Then ur son made one in kitchen too." Nandini chuckled..

"Leave the file. I will handle it."

"No.. I almost give u my all works and u want to do more? Not happening."

"Well at least rest a bit." He said taking everything from her.

"Did u decide what are we going to gift ur parents on their anniversary." Manik asked her in his arms and lay down.

"No.. I don't know."

"How about we give them another grandchild?"

"Yeah yeah u become pregnant this time ok?" Nandini said rolling her eyes making Manik chuckle..

~~~~~~~

"Shina and Aryaman applied for adoption." Navya said..

"They did. That's good the early u apply, the early u get to adopt a baby." Nandini said recalling how broken Shina was when she got to know about her complications.

"Yeah.. Now they are fighting about boy or girl." they laugh

"Misha caught cold and Mukti is freaking out. That girl become so sensitive when she catch cold." Nandini said..

"Yeah.. Danish is not well too. Aliya said it could be the fever that is going around."

"There u go.. They are always talking about kids, home, shopping.." Cabir said as he entered the kitchen..

"Well at least we don't talk about numbers and who won last football match such a bore." Nandini said..

"That's not boring! And football is life. I don't know why u girls hate games so much and fight for the remote." Cabir said..

"Tom and Jerry!"

"Moana!"

"Tom and Jerry!"

"Moana!"

They heard kids shouting and fight for the remote.

"There u go." Cabir said and they all came out of kitchen..

Manik tried to calm them down and convincing both side to sacrifice a little. But they again started to fight so Manik started Animated Mr. Bean and problem solved..

"Cabir, let's go to my study." Manik called and they headed towards it.

Ansh was in alert mood so he slowly left the living area.. But he couldn't dodge his mother and sister's eyes..

Manik opened the door of his study only to see his files were open on the floor and one can see Ansh's Portrait on them..

Cabir along with Nandini and Aayna started laughing who came to see why Ansh flew like that.

"Ansh!!!!"
