Ayan and Ishaan come to the dining table and sat quietly. Ahmed continued glaring at them and they both felt scared. The servant gave them their glasses of milk and they both diverted their attention to it. After a while, Aleema came there with Zara in her arms. She settled on the head chair with Zara in her arms.
"Did you both have your breakfast?"
They both looked at her and nodded in a no.
"Okay. What do you like to eat? Shall I make parathas for you?"
They both nodded in a yes and she smiled at them.
"Fine. I'll go and make you parathas."
"Alee Ammi, Zara will need you. Don't leave her and go. We will eat cereals today. Right Adi?"
Ishaan nodded in a yes at Ayan's words and Aleema smiled at both of them.
"Aww my little kids! You do one thing. After you have your breakfast, write all your favourites on a paper and give it to me. I'll make sure that your favourites are prepared daily along with some healthy foods. Okay?"
They both nodded and had their breakfast. Aleema smiled looking at them and had her breakfast while rubbing baby's back to soothe her.

"Ishaan! Ayan!"
Aleema called them from the living room and they both ran to the living room from the lawn.
"Kids, will you both stay with Zara? I need to go to the office to attend an urgent meeting. She is sleeping and I think I'll be back before she wakes up. Just play in your room where she is sleeping. Is that okay with you both?"
They both nodded obediently and Aleema smiled at both of them.
"I'll try my best to be back before two hours. If you want to eat anything then you can tell it to Adil Bhaiyaa. He is in the kitchen. Okay?"
They both nodded at her words and she left from there after passing them smiles. They both ran to their room where Zara was busy sleeping in her cot. They both settled themselves on the bed closer to the cot so that they could play as well as look at the tiny being.
After sometime, they both got bored so they simply sat beside the cot and continued looking at Zara who was sleeping. Ishaan found her adorable so he gently traced his little index finger on her chubby cheeks and gasped on feeling her soft skin.
Zara didn't even budge in her sleep and Ishaan let out a giggle. Ayan too giggled with him and gently touched her hand. She clutched his index finger with her little fist and he gasped. She opened her eyes and Ayan saw her looking at him. He smiled at her and she gave him a toothless smile. Ishaan looked at both of them in 'awe'.
