It's been 10 mins since  Haseena was nervously gazing at her Uniform! Until a little pair of hands climbed touching her face, breaking her chain of thoughts. Haseena smiled and picked her Baby girl! "Kya hua beto....Ninni ayi hai Meri gudiya ko .." haseena said crassing her cheeks. Vanishka started playing with her Locket.
"Acha Vanishka...Ammi ko na apse bat karni hai .... app sunoge humari bat" she said Sweetly and Vanishka was looking at her generously and kneenly with puping eyes .
"Ammi na bahut nervous hai Vanishka....kal 7 months k bad ammi phir se Apni duty join kari hai.....App bhi tho kal pheli bar Ammi k sath Thana chaloge ..." She started tapping her hands over haseenas cheeks and laughing and making noises.
"Han han...app tho bahut excited ho... Nervousness tho hume hori hai..." She said Nervously.
"Tho app kyu vryarth me Chinta kari hai Haseena ....App kab se duty ko leke nervous hone lagi..." Anubhav said entering the room.

Vanishka started crying for Going to Anubhav.
"Lo...baba aye nai ki Hume tho bhav bhi nai deti...
Sambhaliye isse .....hum apka khana aur iska doodh garam kar k late hai" she said smiling.
After a while,
"Anu app dekh kya rahe hai....Entertain kijiye na isse... dekhiye kitne nakhre kari hai....Vanishka...jaldi muh kholo..." She tried Feeding her milk with a spoon.
Anubhav started making funny faces for her to finish her milk.
"Anu app isse Burp dilao...hum yeh sab rak k ate hai" .
"Aaja meri Gudiya...." He said holding her and caressing her back for burp.
"Ho gaya..." Haseena said.
"Hmmm. "
"Chalo Vanishka tummy time ...." She said picking her and Laying her over her stomach on the playing mat.
"Kya bat hai Anu" She said Wrapping her hands over his neck.
He nodded negatively holding her by her waist.
"Abb humse jooth bolege."

He crassed her back gently. He started singing her favourite lory! Which haseena sings for her. Soon with the warmth of her father! And melodious lory she fell asleep! Everyone was adoring The beautiful father daughter duo.
After a while Anubhav too fell asleep holding Vanshika in his arms. Ks smiled and clicked a picture and sent it to haseena.
