"ji ammi ....humne ache se khana kha lia hai.... Balki double khaya hai...maa nai hoti hai na tho muj par dadagiri kar k double kahna khilate hai...." She scorched her nose and complained.
Anu gave her a look raising his eyebrows.
"Ammi app keh dijiye apne damad se....yeh dadagiri nai chalegi... "
She frowned.
"Ammi hume apse tips chiye thi....ki do do bacho ko ek sath kaise sambalte hai...." Anu interpured as phone was on speaker
"Do bache👀" Haseena gave him a look..
"Anu ..kahi tum logo ko judwa ...."
Ammi started assuming
" Nai ammi....voh kya hai na...ek baby ko sambalana padega....dusra baby ki ammi ko ....jo bache se kam nai hai... " He laughed..
" Ammmi....."she compianed
" Vaise bat tho thik kahi anu bete....tumhe ek sath 2 bacho ko sambalna padega..." Ammi laughed. It had always been the scenario that whenever it was ammi and anuseena togather...Ammi and Anu always teamed teasing Haseena and pulling her leg😂
"Ammi app bhi ...jaiye hume bat nai karni ..dekha baby" touching
Tummy...." Apki nani aur baba kaise hume sata rahe hai...."
While ammi and Anu laughed.
"Chaliye ammi abb Haseena k dawaiyan lene ka samy ho gaya hai....hum kal bat karte hai..." Saying this he cut the call.
He saw his angry baby sitting on bed with a cute pout. He smiled at her antics.
He went sat beside pulling her cheek and kissing them...
"Vaise baby...." Touching her tummy "app hi batao kahega.. ki apki ammi...vahi SHO Haseena malik hai....jo itni shant  disciplined  aur karmat officer....hamesha apne tajurbe se bat karti hai....aur baba k pass ate hi...inke nakhre shuru..." He suppressed his laugh.
"Anu...humare bache ko bigadiye mat" she frowned.
Anubhav was use to her cute mood swings...he loved her antics and she was getting cuter day by day....
"Acha baby...ammi tho mood mae nai lagri ki manegi aaj....kya karna chiye baba ko..." He said cutely keeping his head on her tummy and lying in her lap.
Haseena couldn't resist smiling but was suppressing it....
"oh mumma...." He said pinching her cheeks..." Nai manoge..."
She turned her face away...
" Acha thik hai....hume bhi manana ata hai..." He started tickling her....she bursted out laughing endlessly...😂
"Anu...bass....." She was huffing .. still laughing uncomfortable...😂
" Sorry baba...man gae..... pls ruk jaiye . ...."  He stopped...she huffed ..
He lied down in her lap and she was gently crassing his hair...
"Apko pata hai Anu.....abba bhi aise hi hume manate tahe....hum aksar yuhi Choti choti bato pe muh phula k bait jate thae...abba hume yu gudgudi kar k....hume hasate thae..." She was lost in her world of sweet memories...a tear escaped from her eye...and fell on anus face...he sat straight and cupped her face kissing away her tears
Kissed her forehead and she pushed herself in his arms. She rested there for a while.
"Apko pata hai Anu ...apki bahon mae...hume itna sukoon kyu milta hai....apke sath itne secure kyu feel karte hai.... App me abba ki hi ek chavi najar ati hai anu
App bilkul unn jaise hai...chahe duty k lie dedication, desh k lie pyar, ya pariwar ki taraf jimmedari ya imandari....app bilkul unn jaise hai....aur sab se badi similar chiz pata hai kya hai....?" She peeped into his eyes..
"Kya hai jaan..." He smiled
"App dono ka hamre lie pyar...." She. Adjusted herself in his arms....
For a few minutes she was lost in her own fairy world resting in his arms. He was silently listening to her tales and smiling.
After a few moments she saw Anubhav lost in his thoughts still holding her. She felt some pain In his eyes....his eyes were moist.
She understood he was lost in the memories of  the moments spent with his father.
"Baba ko yad kar rahe hai anu" she cupped his face and kissed his eyes.
He smiled still eyes moist.
He pulled her into a hug
And started narrating his childhood tales
" Apko pata hai jaan....hamare lie humare baba humare hero hua karte thae...... hum bahut katra thae unnse jyada bat karne mae...kafi sakt hua karte ...but hum bahut
Mante thae unhe...unka kam karne ka tarika...unki sachi imandari....voh bhi ek karmat police officer thae...par ek ajeeb sa dar tha humare man mae unko lekar....kabhi gale nai lage unke....shayd issiyle bhi ki voh bahut sakt hua karte tahe...hum humesha maa k hi jyada close thae...Baba se bahut kuch kehna chacha...par himmat nai hoti thi...voh humse bahut pyar karte tahe..par jataege kabi nai.....unki choti choti bato se hi apna pyar vyakt karte thae...jaise rat me humare so jane k bad aake humara matha chumna..... Karishma kabi nai darti thi unse... humesha unke duty se ate hi...unnse lipat jati thi...gale lag kar...Haseena...kash...ek bar....hum bhi apne baba ko gale laga pate...kash yeh jo ajeeb se unkahi duri thi...voh ajeeb si hickichaht na hoti.......kash ek bar...hume bagwan unse milae...hum jee bhr k unke gale lag pae...." He was lost in his thoughts. Haseena could feel the pain in his eyes. A wish that couldn't be fulfilled.
" Hum yeh hichkichahat humare aur humare bache k
Bech kabi nai ane dege Haseena...." He silently whispered lost in thoughts.
She cupped his face....kissed his forehead and nodded negatively.
" Hum ache pita ban paege na...Haseena...?" He looked into her eyes deeply. Haseena could sense insecurity in his eyes. Insecurity of his childhood. Due to lack of openness, due to his timid behaviour or maybe...bagging up himself with being responsible from very small age...he couldn't open up with his father, he feared if he could build a room of comfort for his baby.
" App iss duniya k sab se ache pita banege Anu...." She kept his hand on her tummy..
She smiled ... finally he smiled as she was assuring him....her assurance was everything to him, her trust, her belief was enough for him.
Haseena opened her arms...he smiled and adjusted himself and rested on her chest. She wrapped him gently tapping him to sleep.
He dozed of to sleep  She made him properly and kissed his forehead.
She had her medicines and checked her phone for setting Alarm
While a notification popped up showing father's day tomorrow.
" Father's day...kal...." She was lost in the thought.
" Baby...kal father's day...tho apke baba ka 1st Fathers day...unke lie kuch special kare ..." She whispered
She thought of an idea, ordered a few things online and smiled.  She looked at his Mr handsome sleeping peacefully.
She bent down and kissed his parted lips.
" I love you" she whispered and dozed of to sleep.

Next morning Anu was flipping his sides in sleep. He flipped to hug Haseena, but he woke up as he found the bed empty.
He rubbed his eyes and found Haseena no where as he could see the room empty, door of washroom was locked from outside so she wasn't there inside too.
He got up to freshen up, he thought to have a quick shower 1st to feel fresh and as he had some meeting.
He moved towards his wardrobe to take his uniform, but he was surprised.
A cute little uniform of a baby uniform kept beside his...
His heart fluttered seeing those tiny uniform,
He smiled and was gently crassing the tiny clothes.
It also had a batch saying " baby  Anubhav singh"
He smiled sheepishly.
Carssing the batch.
He could see both uniforms...one his and one of the little one...."DSP Anubhav singh" " Baby Anubhav singh"
" Haseena..." He smiled....saying he knew it was her plan..
There was also a little note inside the pocket of that little uniform.
He opened it smiling
It said,
"Dear Baba,
Vaise roj mumma muje ek letter likti hai....but today I want to write one letter for my Baba....
You are my Inspiration Baba..My hero..I know I am very tiny yet...you can neither feel me nor see me....you just experience my presence through mumma's words.....but soon I will be in your arms, where I will be most secured and I know. You will have to hold my hand and show me the right path. We also have to team up and tease mumma and trouble her like we do now. I know I cannot see you now...but I feel your love by the sweet kissed you give me... by every little thing
You do...I can experience the eternal love baba.... along with being the best son best husband best brother and best police officer...you are and also will be the bestest and coolest dad ever...so Anubhav and Little Anubhav will team up and trouble mumma...." He had tears in his eyes...but still smiling
"One day baba....you will be proud of me....as I am proud of my Baba today... thankyou for being the best baba in World already....I love you ...and Happy father's day..(little feet drawn)♥️"
He was so proud and smiling endlessly having tears....
He got freshed up immediately and moved downstairs...he saw a cake on table
" Happy father's day" with smile made with gems....
He moved towards the kitchen seeing Haseena preparing Breakfast.
He went and backhugged her nuzzled into her neck...
" Kaise kar leti hai app yeh sab..."
He smiled...
" Humne kaha kuch kia...bas baby ne humse jo kaha humne vob lika..." sHe acted cute... innocently 😂
He bent down and crassed her tummy....
" thankyou bacha....." He kissed her tummy
"Your welcome Baba.." Haseena laughed
" Sara pyar baby k lie.....aur bhen ko bhul jao app...." KS said entering smiling...
" Karishma.../ Bhena..."
"Shayd ghar ki
Ek chabi hamre pasa bhi hoti hai...itna chokneki jarurt nai" she laughed...
She came and hugged her bhaiya...
" Abb apne iss bache ki taraf se happy father's day ki wish le lijiye...."
"happy father's day Anu bhaiyaa...." She hugged him tight.
He smiled and hugged her even more tightly....
"Thankyou bhena..."
" App humare lie hamre baba se kam thodi hai bhaiya...bachpan se lke aaj tak...apne hamrr lie...sari jimedariyan nibhayin jo ek pita ko nibani chiye....hum bahut kismat wale hai...hume app mile haii....."
He kissed her forehead....
"Dekhiye bhiya...baby aajege bhale...par apka phela bacha hum hi rahenge..." She said with cute frown....
"Yeh bhi koi kehne ki bat hai bache...." Anu laughed crassing her....
" Wah....yeh acha hai .....hume aur baby ko bhul gae app...." Haseena said with a frown....
Anuhma looked at each other and smiled....they went and hugged her on either of her sides sequeezing her into a group hug....
"We love you too" they said in unison making her laugh...🤗
