A/N You guys are in for a surprise. Let me know your reactions. 😉

Abhimanyu enters his home and is greeted by a grumpy face sitting on the sofa with folded arms and that's when he realises he forgot something. He puts his bag on the sofa and sits down.

What's up? (Trying to act all normal)

Mr. Abhimanyu Birla you had promised that you will take me out to buy a gift for jaan.

You know that your mother doesn't like it when you call me by my name.

I will handle her. You tell me why did you break your promise?

OMG. Handle her, just in case you forgot she is my wife first then your mother.

Hearing the banter Akshara comes out of the kitchen and stands between the duo.

How many times have I told you that it's not good to call your father by his name.

But mamma he had promised.

Yeah someone was saying that I will handle her (poking out his tongue)

You always take his side, Jaan.

Abhi please stop fighting like you are siblings. For God sake he is your 5 year old son so behave like that.

Nobody loves me in this house. Di loves papa the most. Mamma you love Di more than me. When Nobody loves me why did you bring me in this house.

Shivaanshhhh never I repeat never say this again. Never. Am I clear?

Akshara rushes to her room teary eyed.

Shiv I will talk to mamma. Don't worry. You sit with Di.

Sorry papa.

It's ok kiddo. Calm down. Mamma will be fine (Wiping his tears).

Abhimanyu goes to the room to talk to Akshara while Avni sits down with her brother.

Di did you listen?

Yes I did Shiv. You know na mamma never calls you by your full name unless...

Unless she is very sad.

Right but why did you say those things. You know mamma loves you the most.

Then why did she take papa's side. You know he had promised to take us out for the gift.

She didn't take papa's side. She just told you not to call him by his name.

In the room Abhi sits down on the floor hugging Akshara who is crying.

Akshu calm down and please stop crying. He didn't mean it. You know that.

Ofcourse Abhi. It's just, I remembered that fateful night 5 years ago.

You know we don't talk about that.

I know Abhi and I never have but today when Shivu said those words it just triggered that memory of when you found him and put him in my lap. What if you...

Don't jaan. I know you are very sensitive when it comes to him but it's ok now. He is our son. He is with us and that's what matters. Now freshen up Shiv is also feeling bad.

Di I hurt mamma and made her cry.

It's ok Shiv. You didn't do it intentionally and you know very well how to make mamma happy again.

How?

What do you call her when you want a chocolate or an ice cream from her?

You are the best Di. Come let's go but you enter first.
