"Baba...baba, dawai Li ki nhi?" A girl shouted.

The man grimaced at the thought of the medicine. He spoke in a sweet voice trying to pacify his eldest daughter. "Haan beta ji... Le li,"

"Sachmeeeee???" The voice asked in disbelief.

"Haan putr sachme..." He spoke as he bent a bit to take a chuski  of his sweet morning tea with the spice of some morning news. When a packet of medicine hanged infront of him.

"Papa jiii...," His second eldest daughter called in a mocking tone as she swing it before him. He gulped and motioned her to be quite.

"Accha toh yahan dawai Leni ki jagah chai li ja rhi hai," his eldest daughter spoke as the man smiled guiltily. She sighed and called her mother.

"Ma Pani Lana."

She was none other than Pooja Sharma or better Dr. Pooja Sharma. The eldest daughter and pride of the family. And her second sister was Pia Sharma, now a dancer. The youngest daughter of the house, an architect came holding a glass, her name Kajal.

"Yeh lo di. Acha hua aj aap ghar mein ho warna papa toh dawai se ese bhagte hain jaise ki jeher ho." Kajal mocked a bit as she handed her a glass of water.

"Jeher hi toh hai yeh!!! Pata nhi kiya kiya Mila kar yeh safed goti bani hai. Konsi harmful chemical milayi gyi hain inme!!!" He exclaimed with his eyes widened.

"Uffo papa. Kuch bhi. Marne ke liye nhi hai, ilaaz ke liye hai. Whi cheezein hain jo apki sehat ke liye acha ho." Pia spoke.

Ashis Sharma finally took the medicine under Pooja's stern eyes.

"Chalo ghar ka daily drama toh khatam ho gya. Baba aap bache ho kya? Ki haame ese apko dawai khilani pade," Vishal spoke as he got ready for work. The only son in his family and extremely Pampers his angels and ma.

"Hain...badi jawan kenchi jaisi chal rhi hai teri," Ashis spoke angrily.

"Usse kya daant rhe hain aap Ashis ji! Shi toh keh rha hai woh. Pehle Pooji aur Vicky ko ese dawai khilate the aap aur ab apko bhi wese hi khila rhe hain yeh." Asha Sharma, the most beautiful woman in the world as stated by the Sharma family.

"Exactly baba. Kal ko ham teeno ki shaadi ho jayegi. Bhaiya itne busy rehte hain. Aap agar khudka dhyaan nhi rakh paoge toh kese chalega?" Pooja asked as she kneeled before him.

"Papa... Di shi keh rhi hain. Aapko nhi pta ham kitna daar gye the jab aapka sugar pehli baar itna low ho gya tha. Ma ko toh panick attack agya tha lag bhag....aur hamari Kajal kitna dar gyi." Pia spoke as she sat near him and kept her head in his lap.

"Haan papa. Woh toh lakh lakh sukriya ki Vicky Bhai aur Pooja di ka jo unhone situation sambhal liya aur Krishna ji ka bhi ki woh dono thik time pe agye," kajal spoke as she remembered the dreadful day. Her father fell unconscious and his mother was screaming. Pia di was quick to phone the ambulance and then Pooja di and Vicky Bhai while she stood their paralysed with shock.

"Isiliyee..promise us ki aap careless nhi banoge apni health ke saath. Aur agar aapki tabiyat kharab hogi...jara si bhi...toh aap mujhe bataoge," Vishal spoke to his father taking his wrinkled hand in his. The hand that was wrinkled raising them all. Ashis took his hand and smoothed Vicky's hair.

"Aab toh promise bol dijiyee.. warna apki yeh teen ladkiyan vyah nhi karengi Ashis ji,"  Asha spoke in jester.

"Mein toh Haan bolne wala tha Asha ji lekin ab agar betiyon ko saath rakhne ke liye-" Ashis spoke.

"BABA," three voices shouted together as Ashis spoke again," Acha sorry promise. Promise. Now happy?"

"Very happy," Pia spoke and asked,"acha baba apko hamse dur nhi jana aur hame bhi apse dur nhi jana toh aap ladka dhundna stop kar do please".

"Arre...Aise kaise?" Asha asked bewildered.

"Putar..jo mere mann mein hoga woh mein nhi kar skta. Mein selfish nhi ban skta. I know ki tum log ke minds mein bohut doubts honge about marriage but believe me, acha life patner sirf tumhari life ko happiness se nhi bharta walki dono families ko happy rakhta hai. woh tumhara dost bhi hota hai aur family bhi. Now mujhe aur Asha ko hi dekhlo. Aaj bhi she makes me smile with her happiness."

"I know baba. And I hope hame bhi ek acha husband Mile," kajal spoke.

"Acha aab Saab chalo time kitna ho gya hai...chalo chalo chalo...office ke liye late ho rha hai," Asha panicked as she helped them get ready.
