Moran: Every day, I love you more

Lazy weekend - 1.3

Monami and Kriti woke up and saw Manan giggling and doing hi-five with his dad while showing something on the phone to Karan. The girls sensed it was something related to them.
When they snatched the phone, they saw their own picture on the screen.
(Like this, but they were asleep)

They had fake mustaches from a bunch of their own hair strands. Karan snatched the phone back and shared the picture in the family WhatsApp group quickly. The boys kept laughing, while Monami and Kriti angrily chased them in the whole house. Kriti, tired, played her trump card (a skill she has learnt from her dad) and looked innocently at her dad: " Papa, aap bhi? Woh bhi mere saath aise prank karne lage 🥺 "
That was it, Karan cannot see his Rajkumari Sahiba upset. He held his ears and apologized to both of them. Manan too joined in sweetly "Solly Mumma, Solly Kittu. But hum bore ho rahe thay, aur aap kitne cute lag rahe thay. Toh hum ruk hi nahi paye " and started laughing again.

Monami and Kriti looked at each other and gave an evil smile: "Cute? Aur hum dono.. nahhh!! aap logo jitna nahi toh bilkul nahi"
"Matlab?? "
"Abhi pata chalega!!", the girls cheered excitedly.
They forced the boys to sit there on the bed with their eyes closed. Monami' project was Manan, while Kriti's was her dad. After 5min, the boys opened their eyes and saw themselves infront of the mirror. Two tiny fountain ponytail with colorful rubberbands swaying on Karan's head, while there was one fountain ponytail in the centre of Manan's head.

(Somewhat like this but Karan doesn't keep a beard 🤭 )

The boys whined "ye kyaaa hai!! "
"Revenge 😜 " the girls heartily laughed.
They clicked few group selfies and shared them too in the WhatsApp group. Badla jo pura karna tha.

Sometime later, Karan went to the kitchen to get some fruits for all. Meanwhile, Monami played some songs on her phone, got down from the bed and and started swaying. Manan quickly came towards her and they both started dancing. Soon Kriti too joined them. Karan entered the room and smiled looking at this crazy, sweet, lovely family. He mentally thanked his stars for this bliss. The trio forced him to join too. He kept the fruits on the side table and reluctantly joined them for a fun family dance.

Tu Hai Toh Tedi Medi Raahe
Ulti Pulti Baatein Seedhi Lagti Hai
Tu Hai Toh Jhoote Moote Vaade
Dushman Ke Irrade Sachhe Lagte Hai
Jo Dil Mein Taare Vaare De Jaga
Woh Tu Hi Hai, Tu Hi Hai
Jo Rote Rote De Hassa
Tu Hi Hai Wahin Jaane Kyun (jaane Kyun) Dil Jaanta Hai
Tu Hai Toh, I’ll Be Alright (I’ll Be Alright, I’ll Be Alright)
Jaane Kyun (jaane Kyun) Dil Jaanta Hai (yeh, Yeh ,yeh)
Tu Hai Toh, I’ll Be Alright (I’ll Be Alright, I’ll Be Alright

They had their fruits after some time. Then, as decided earlier, they went out in the garden to have their Sunday playtime.
After an hour of playing, the head trainer started his weekly training for his junior cadets that imvolved some physical as well as mental exercises. It was sometimes tough for the kids, but they loved it and always looked forward to it every week. Monami spent this hour doing yoga - with peace in her heart and on her face.
The exercises were finally done and Monami joined them bringing 4 mugs - two with hot badam milk for the kids and two with coffee for Karan and herself. They had their hot beverages in the garden area only, sitting on the grass and enjoying the cool breeze and calm.

Monami then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Karan helped the kids with their homework. It wasn't that these responsibilities were always marked like this. Sometimes Monami helped kids with their studies and Karan honed his kitchen skills. But, today was Biryani day and so Chef Mumma (due to her special expertise) was appointed for dinner duties while Papa was sitting with kids, getting bombarded with homework queries.

Soon, they got seated on the dining table for their aromatic dinner that was making it tough for them to focus on homework a while ago. Monami was elated when her family happily screamed "Delicious 🤤 Good job Mumma"

After dinner, they had a video call with Bhabhi and Baby. One of the topics was planning the party on the next weekend for Soumya's school farewell. But more importantly, Baby wanted to discuss about the fun family pictures shared in the afternoon on the WhatsApp group - what followed next was fun family banter and hearty laughs on the silly pictures.

Then, the kids lead by Monami demanded for icecream treat from Papa. Karan asked - " Treat kis baat ki bhai?"
"Aap itne acche ho na Papa, reason thodi chahiye icecream treat ke liye" Kriti reasoned.
Monami and Manan hurriedly nodded and insisted " Pleaaase Papaaaaaa!"
Karan - "Teeno ke teeno Nautanki! Chalo 5min mein sab mujhe Jeep mein chahiye"
"Yayyyy!!! Yes sir 😍😍 "  the three cheered in response.

It wasn't even the 5th min when all 3 of them were sitting in the jeep like good obedient first-bencher kids in school.
Karan smiled and drove to their favourite nearby icecream parlour.
Monami, as always,  chose chocolate.
Manan likes chocolates like Mumma, a bit more in fact, so he chose choco-chip.
Kriti doesn't like any one particular flavour and tries a new one everytime. This time she chose salted caramel.
Karan, as always, didn't want an icecream. On seeing Monami's glare, he chose Vanilla. Monami made a face again, asking why he always takes plain Vanilla, he should try something new. To make her stop scolding him in front of the staff and other people at the icecream parlour, he quickly chose tender coconut. Monami wanted to pass a comment that it's not even sweet enough, but then kept quiet as her chocolate icecream was melting and she needed to focus there 😂
