Next morning Akshara wakes up early as Avni has to leave for the camp. She sets her bag and breakfast and then goes to wake her up.
Avi, baby get up.
Mamma it's so early.
I know but you have to go to the camp today. Get up now.
Mamma I will miss you all.
It's ok but you will enjoy too. Ok freshen up I will wake up your papa.
Abhi get up. We have to drop Avni.
Jaan it's too early (Placing her head in his lap)
Nope it isn't. She has to leave for the camp today so they have to report early. (Caressing his hair)
I still don't like all this.
Abhi don't say like that. She is happy. Don't spoil her mood. Please.
As you say. I will get ready.
Avni has her breakfast and they are ready to leave.
Mamma what about Shiv?
He is sleeping. We will be back before he wakes up and even if he does the main door will be locked.
Avni don't worry me and mamma will be back soon.
They settle down in the car and Avni is happy about her first trip.
Avi you remember whatever I told you.
Yes mamma. I remember everything. If there is a problem I need to tell my teacher or call you or papa. I need to stay with the group and not wander around. I know it all.
Good. That's like my baby.
Mammaaa. Nooooo.
What no you are our baby. You always will be. This isn't going to change ever
Papa please I am a teenager now. None of my friends are called baby by their parents.
Then they don't love them like I love my Avni.
Ok you both stop arguing we have reached.
Abhira drop Avni at the school and talk to her teacher. Abhimanyu hugs her and kisses her forehead.
I love you.
I love you too Papa and thankyou so much.
If you are done can I just hug my daughter.
Akshara hugs her and they leave. They head home and Akshara understands Abhimanyu is a bit skeptical about all this but let's it go. They reach home and see Shivansh exiting his room while rubbing his eyes.
Abhi signals Akshara to be quite and they observe their son. He heads straight to his parents room and climbs the bed. Abhira follow him and stand at the door. Shivansh opens his eyes fully when he realises that the bed is empty.
Mammaaa, Papaaa where are you?
Abhi let's go he will get scared.
Shivu we are here (hugging him)
Mamma nobody was here. I thought I am alone.
No baby we had gone to drop Avi at school. Why are you up so early?
Papa I thought I am alone so I came here but you weren't here.
It's ok.
Mamma I want to sleep more. Papa you also come.
I will have a quick shower first.
No papa please.
Ok.
Both Abhimanyu and Akshara lie down on the bed first then Shivaansh lies down placing his head on Akshara's belly and places his feet on Abhimanyu’s stomach. Akshara starts caressing Shivu's hair and he falls asleep.
Atleast my son let's me sleep close to my wife (kissing her forehead)
Let's rest for sometime Abhi, then we have to leave for the hospital.
After sometime they get up and leave for the hospital. Abhi parks the car and all three of them head inside the hospital.
Abhi you go for your rounds, I will take Shivu to the day care centre.
Bye Papa.
Bye kiddo(ruffling his hair)
Papaaa. See mamma he again spoiled my hair. You know I don't like it and nobody touches my hair except you.
Come here I will set it right. You know it's just Papa showing his love for you. Come now. Abhi you go. Bye.
It's lunch time when Akshara checks her phone. She sees two missed calls from Avni's teacher. She calls back worrying about Avni but only hears complaints about her husband.
Good Afternoon Mrs. Birla.
Good Afternoon Mam. Is Avni fine?
Yeah she is but I called you to talk about Mr. Birla. He has called me atleast 10 to 12 times in an hour. I mean I don't get paid to recieve his calls. I understand his concern but Mrs. Birla I have a job to do. I can't be on the phone always.
I understand mam and I apologize on his behalf. He won't do this again, I will make sure of it.
Thankyou.
Akshara puts down the phone and heads to her husband's cabin only to see him busy with some interns. She waits outside the cabin and goes in once the interns leave.
I was about to call you Akshu. Let's bring Shiv and have lunch.
Abhi how many times did you call Avni's teacher?
I did call her a few times but then I got busy with a surgery and couldn't call her again. Why are you asking? Is Avni fine?
Couldn't call her, seriously Abhi? She was so pissed that she called me to complain about you. Who calls 12 times in one hour?
So what. They have my daughter, I can call as many times as I want to.
No you aren't going to do that. She hasn't kidnapped your daughter. We will call her from my phone, once in the morning and once in the evening to talk to Avni.
But jaan.
No buts Abhi. It's decided. Let Avni enjoy.
Ok. Whatever. Let's go, Shiv might be waiting.
They head to the day care centre and take Shiv. Abhi picks him up in his arms and move towards Akshara's cabin to have lunch.
Mamma, why does papa look like me?
What do you mean Shivu?
Papa has that face which I make when you don't give me my favorite chocolate or stop me from doing something.
Thats because I stopped your Papa from doing something (smiling at Abhi)
Shivansh immediately wraps his tiny arms around Abhi's neck and kisses him on the forehead.
What was that for Kiddo?
Mamma does this when I make that face to make me smile. Mamma you also kiss papa and then he will also smile like me.
Ok Shivu but let's have our lunch first.
You know Akshu I should thank God for kids because if not for them you won't pay attention to me.
Liar Birla, as if I don't.
They have their lunch with Shivansh narrating the activities he did at the center making the couple smile at him. Once done they head back to their respective places.
