Abhi (shouting angrily): Rhea....Rhea.....Come here immediately.
Rhea came there with mobile in her hands and ear pods in her ears.
Rhea: What happened dad?
Abhi: Don't you have shame? How could you keep these kids hungry, especially when we they are your own brothers and sisters.
Pragya: How irresponsible of you Rhea! You couldn't take care of them for a few hours?
Disha: It's so easy to handle them. They don't even throw unnecessary tantrums.
Purab: I think she was glued to her phone's screen as always and forgot her duties.
Ranbir: I think she deserves punishment for not obeying orders.
Aryan: Yes, as you take away our favourite things for a day, you should take her mobile too.
Prachi: Maa says punishments makes a person better.
Shahana: Maasi is always correct.
Pallavi: I support the kids.
Abhi: Taking her mobile won't be enough. She will be grounded for the next two days.
Rhea (shocked): You can't do this dad. You have never punished me before.
Abhi: That's why you grew up to be such a spoiled brat. Now go to your room.
Purab: We are sorry for leaving you kids alone with her.
Disha: As an amendment, we will take you out of dinner.
Shahana: I will have ice creams there.
Prachi: Me too.
Ranbir: Me three
Aryan: Me four.
Pragya: Whoever wants to go has to get ready fast.
The children ran to their rooms followed by their mothers.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Ranbir: Woo-hoo! I'm the first.
Ranbir slid down the railing of the stairs while Pallavi shouted behind him.
Aryan: I'm here too.
Aryan jumped down the last three stairs at once causing Disha to yelp in fear.
Disha: If you break your bones, I won't take you to the doctor.
Purab: I told you he is one of the most naughtiest kids, but you didn't believe me.
Disha: Whatever. I still think he is the cutest.
Ranbir: You are looking cool bro.
Aryan: Not more than you.
They fist bumped each other.
Prachi came from the stairs holding Shahana's hand who was hoping happily.
Shahana: When I grow up, I will become pretty like you.Prachi: You are already too cute.
Ranbir saw Prachi and an idea stuck him.
Ranbir: Will you be my girlfriend?
Prachi: I'm already your girlfriend.
Ranbir: Really? From when?
Prachi: I'm a girl and your friend too.
Ranbir smacked his forehead.
Ranbir: I didn't mean like that. Don't you see movies?
Prachi: No. Books are more interesting.
Before Ranbir could reply, they heard Aryan and Shahana started arguing.
Aryan: I'm taller.
Shahana stood on the sofa.
Shahana: Now I'm taller.
Ranbir got on the table.
Ranbir: See, I'm the tallest.
Prachi: That's not fair.
Abhi: What's not fair?
Prachi: See, they are cheating. I want to be tall too.
Abhi: My princess's wish is my command.
He picked her up on his shoulders.
Prachi: Yay!
Others had also arrived by then.
Aryan: Dad, pick me up.
Purab put him too and so did Vikram to Ranbir.
Shahana (bit sad): Why don't I have a dad?
Pragya: Because one dad wasn't enough for my angel. Everyone loves you.
She kissed her forehead and picked her on her lap.
Disha: Let's go now.
They had a fun time eating out. The kids even got extra chocolates for behaving themselves and following all the table manners.
On the other hand, Rhea was alone in the house without mobile, having porridge for dinner.
