Vanya Ki Kahani

Apple

In this story, Vansh, Riddhima and Vanya lives in London.
Vanya is 17 months.

Morning.

The trio is seen cuddling each other.  Vanya is sleeping on Vansh's bare chest while Riddhima is sleeping on Vansh's right side, hugging him.

Vansh was sleeping when he felt something wet on his chest. He opened his eyes and saw his little princess staring at him with a gigly face. She was blabbering to sweet nothings her dadda.

Vanya: G.l.oo..d...m.o.n.i.ni.g..d.a..d.da.
(Good morning dadda)

Vansh: Good morning my baby 👶.

Saying so, he started showering her face with kisses and she was laughing wholeheartedly. 😃

Vansh: Don't laugh so loud, princess. Mumma will wake up. Let's go and let mumma sleep.

Vanya: Sss..hhh..🤫

Vansh took Vanya downstairs and started preparing breakfast. Vanya was watching her favourite cartoon, Paw Patrol while singing at the same.

Vansh was adoring his princess 👸  who changed his and Riddhima's life.

Riddhima woke up but didn't find her husband and daughter.

She panicked but then she heard a familiar voice singing downstairs.

She eventually knew that her husband and daughter were in the living room and that her lovely daughter is singing in her baby voice.

She was getting down from the stairs when a delicious smell of idli sambar hit her nostrils. 😋

Riddhima smiled as she made her way downstairs, her heart swelling with warmth at the sight before her. Vansh stood in the kitchen, flipping idlis onto a plate while keeping an eye on their little princess, who was sitting on the couch, watching Paw Patrol. Vanya, oblivious to everything else, was immersed in the colorful world on the screen, singing along in her adorable baby voice.

Riddhima tiptoed behind Vansh and hugged him from the back, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Good morning, Mr. Raisinghania," she whispered, her voice still laced with sleep.

Vansh turned slightly, pecking her forehead. "Good morning, Mrs. Raisinghania. Did you sleep well?"

"Not really. I was missing my husband and daughter," she pouted, making Vansh chuckle.

"I just wanted to let you rest a little more," he said, rubbing her back.

Just then, they heard their daughter's excited giggles. "Aaa..ppp..leee!!" Vanya shrieked, clapping her tiny hands.

Both Vansh and Riddhima turned to look at her in amusement. Vanya's eyes were glued to the TV screen, where a bright red apple had appeared in an advertisement.

Vanya bounced in her seat. "Apple! Apple! Dadda, apple!" she announced proudly, looking at Vansh with sheer joy.

Riddhima's heart melted at the sight of her daughter's enthusiasm. She walked over to Vanya, scooping her up in her arms. "Oh my baby, you learned a new word?"

Vanya nodded eagerly. "Apple!" she repeated, pointing at the TV.

Vansh, amused by his daughter's sudden obsession with the word, decided to encourage her. "Do you want to eat an apple, princess?"

Vanya thought for a moment and then nodded. "Apple, Dadda!"

Vansh took an apple from the fruit basket, washed it, and cut it into small pieces. He brought a plate and sat beside Riddhima and Vanya on the couch.

"Here's your apple, princess." He offered her a piece.

Vanya grabbed the slice with her tiny fingers and took a bite, her face lighting up with delight. "Mmm... Apple!" she cheered, making her parents laugh.

Riddhima caressed her daughter's head. "She's growing up so fast," she murmured.

Vansh nodded. "Too fast. Soon she'll be going to school."

Vanya, unaware of the conversation, kept munching on her apple happily. Suddenly, she pointed at the fridge, where a set of alphabet magnets were stuck. "A...A for Apple!" she exclaimed, making Vansh and Riddhima exchange amazed glances.

Vansh's eyes widened. "Did you just say A for Apple, baby?"

Vanya clapped her hands. "A for Apple!"

Riddhima beamed. "Our baby is a genius!"

Encouraged, Vansh picked her up and carried her to the fridge. "Okay, let's learn more. B for?"

Vanya scrunched her nose and thought hard before saying, "B...B for...Dadda?"

Vansh burst into laughter. "No, baby! B for Ball."

"Ball!" Vanya cheered.

Riddhima joined them and picked up the letter C. "And C for?"

Vanya blinked at her. "C for...Mumma?"

Riddhima and Vansh laughed heartily at their daughter's innocent answers. Vansh kissed her cheeks. "You're the cutest, princess!"

Vanya continued repeating 'Apple' all morning, making both of her parents laugh endlessly. She even insisted on carrying an apple in her tiny hands, refusing to let go of it.

Later that day, the trio sat together in the living room. Vansh opened a colorful alphabet book and pointed at different letters, trying to teach their little one.

"A for?" he asked.

"Apple!" Vanya chirped happily.

"B for?"

"Apple!" she repeated, making Vansh and Riddhima chuckle.

"No, baby, B for Ball," Riddhima corrected her gently.

Vanya stared at the book for a moment before shaking her head. "No! Apple!"

Vansh pulled her into a tight hug. "You're my little stubborn princess," he chuckled.

Riddhima kissed Vanya's forehead. "At least she learned a new word today."

The rest of the day went by with the little one running around the house, chanting 'Apple' at everything she saw. Vansh and Riddhima couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day filled with laughter, love, and their daughter's adorable antics.
