"Mommy!!" The junior shukla princess came running into her parents room, calling out for his mother. She hopped on the bed where his parents were sleeping in each others arms.
"Papa." She shook her father, who, after few more attempts, stir in his sleep and opened his eyes eventually.
"Good morning, sweetheart. You are up early today-" Sid spoke in his sleepy tone, he gestured his 4 years old daughter to come to him. His daughter jumped on him and hugged him.
"I went to park with daadu." Answered her daughter, making him smile.
"Zahra?" Shehnaaz opened her eyes lazily and look at her husband & daughter. A soft smile appeared on her face seeing them together.
"Mommy! See, i woke up early today." Zahra answered her mother in his childish tone, bringing a smile on his parents face.
"My baby is a good girl." Shehnaaz leaned toward him and gave a sweet peck on his cheek.
"I want pizza in breakfast." Zahra demanded ever so cutely.
"Who eats pizza in breakfast?" Shehnaaz narrowed her eyes at her daughter's obsession with pizzas. Zahra pouted in response.
"I will ask dadi, she will make it for me." Zahra said to her, knowing her grand-mother can never say no to her. She is her favorite child after all.
"I am her favorite child." Zahra announced proudly, grinning ear to ear.
"We know that, princess." Sidharth smiled at his daughter. The arrival of their child in their lives, was the best thing possible. Their little on has strengthen their bond and he is life of shukla's.
________________________________________"Shehnaaz, where is Zahra?" Sid asked her, as he returned back from office and didn't found her who usually wait for him in living area to return back home from office, so that they could play.
" went out with mom and dad." Shehnaaz answered him, she took his brief case and placed it on side then turned to him."So that means, we are alone at home?" Sid smirked, wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her close to him.
"Fortunately yes! Wanna take advantage of the situation?" She asked naughtily, she threw her arms around his neck and inched close to him, leaving an inch gap between their lips.
"Gladly." He muttered before he placed his lips on hers, kissing her feverishly that had her melting in his arms, like always.
"I love you, Shehnaaz" He whispered against her lips as he broke the kiss.
Shehnaaz smiled hearing his confession, it wasn't everyday he said those words loud since he thinks, those mere words can't describe what he feels for her and he wasn't too good in expressing his feelings in words also.
It surprised her when he for the first time said those words to her, on the day Zahra was born. He made that day even more special to her.
"I love you too, hubby." She whispered back and embrace him.
