Priyanka's family had all came here, they all were having a lunch, discussing about Reception that is happening in two days. Their discussion was somehow went to their kids & their childhood. How they had grown up well.

"I cant beleive..Preeta itni naughty thi? Baap re.. mujhe laga ki meri Karan hogi world me ek lauta piece"  Rakhi said laughing hearing Preeta's adventures of her gifting people.

"Yeh sab toh kuch nahin hain" Priya sighed.

"Arey Bhai yaad hai unki 3rd b'day? I nearly died" Shakti asked Tej.

"Kaise bhoolungi mein?" Tej asked shivering.

"Kya kiya tha voh?" Rishab asked curious seeing the elders reaction.

"Mein bathathi hoon.. It was her 3rd b'day, hum kuch din pehle hi gayi thi celebrate karne keliye.. Jab hum airport se straight inki ghar pahoonchi, we saw Priya begging Pari to let go of the animal in her hands. Pari was straight out denying it calling it her cat" Jhanvi said looking at Priya sighing.

Flashback

Little Preeta was very stubborn. Having a level headed parents its bound to happen. She was a curious kid. The huge Moretti palace more like kingdom was vast, having the wild forest at the back which has a lake going through it all belonged to Morettis.

Preeta who always loved to wander around stumbled on a cat. It was love at first sight for her. She brought it along with her to her room. Washing.. no no more like drowning the cat, she made him sleep with her, hiding from her nannies & Parents. She would hide him inside her toy basket when she heard the footsteps. The cat also did what she asked him.

It had gone for a week or so. But the cat had ran from her room one day not seeing her. But it was scared seeing a lot of people around the house. Preeta who was sipping her milk from her feeder bottle saw the cat & ran to it.

Her secret was out now. But the little minx knew very well that her puppy dog eyes will give her everything. She showed her eyes blinking innocently at her Vincent uncle. The work was done, they left the cat with her.

Two days had gone by, when Priya voiced it,

"Ethan.. Dont you think this cat is not normal.. you know it is a little bigger than normal cats?"

"Do you think-" Ethan was cutt off by his intercom.

"Boss.. There is a tiger at our east border. What do we do?"  Came a tensed voice of his patrol guard.

"Just dont do anything to it... wait we are coming" Ethan replied.

"You are right Its a cub..Tiger cub" Ethan informed Priya.

Preeta wouldnt leave the cub. It took them half day with a murderous tiger, & a stubborn baby. When Priya's family came from India, they were met by a begging Priya.
