That's Just How Life Goes!!

Chapter 17

Mahi POV

" But Nanu, Dadda is staying alone . Now Zaroon chachu is also not staying with him. How will he live alone. Monsters will take him away. He will be so scared. Why can't he stay with us? Earlier they said there won't be enough space for all of us to stay together. But my friend said his parents stay in one room. So Dadda can stay in mamma's room . "
I heard Zayan say. I sighed. He and Hania had said the same to me too but I had successfully diverted them from the topic.
" Babies , ahh. Okay I will talk to your parents." I heard my father say.
Then he too diverted the topic to something else.
.............

" What happened Mahi?" Manal appi asked sitting beside me on the swing.
" Appi . Kids have started questioning why their parents don't live together. I don't know what to answer them."
"Hmm. Mahi don't you think you should seriously think about this.?"
I looked at her .
"Think about what?"
" You clearly know what I am talking about "
" Appi. I have immense respect for him. I care for him alot. He is my family. Father of my children. Best father my children could ever have. He is my friend too. But this, I never thought about him that way. "
" You can start thinking about him that way now."
" Appi please. This is the same conversation I had had with ammi while she was convincing me about Arsalan.  And please don't forget I am still in Arsalan's Nikkah. He is not ready to divorce me. So please drop this topic here itself. And honestly, I feel Zayn deserves the best."
" Which you are."
I gave her a look . She sighed
" Okay. Okay. "

................

" Masha Allah. Congratulations Ammi. I am so happy. How's she? Ammi you should take extra care of her. You know na she is so thin . And where's Ali? Give phone to them. I want to talk to them both."
I said with excitement. Ali's wife is pregnant. I am so happy for them. They deserve all the happiness after what they went through. And I am going to be phuppo. I can't wait to hold my niece or nephew.
" They have gone to her parents house. To tell them the good news. They will come in the evening."
"Accha okay. I won't disturb them now. Let me know once they are back."
" Okay. I will ." She laughed
We talked some more and cut the call.

................

" Maham, do you want to have something to eat?" Zain asked me.
" Yeah. Grab something light for me." I said with a smile. He nodded and left with kids.
" Masha Allah. You are such a cute family." I heard a voice beside me. I turned and saw an old man looking at Zain and kids with a smile.
I smiled and said " Thankyou".
We are going to India. Ali is blessed with a cute girl. Again that Ali has restricted everyone from sharing the picture. He has become a father but still doing such childish things .
We talked till Zain and kids came back.

........

" Aweeee.. Masha Allah Masha Allah. She is so so cute. A Hoor . Just like bhabhi. " I cooed taking the baby girl in my arms.
" Oyee. She is my daughter too. And she is good looking just like her dad. "
I laughed.
" Sorry Ali. But honestly she is exact copy of her mother. See her eyes, nose ,chin everything is like her mother."
" Allah. Ammi see see she smiled at me. Masha Allah even her smile is like her mother. So sweet." I gushed
Everyone laughed at me.
" Mamma sit down please. We want to play with her too. You see she will smile at me more beautifully." Zayan said stubbornly.
Hania and Zayan were waiting  eagerly. So I sat down on the sofa and let them play with her.
...........

Hania & Zayan POV

" Mamu , why don't Mamma and Dadda stay in the same room." We asked.
" Huh what?" Mamu asked
" Mamujan. We asked why don't Mamma and Dadda stay in one room like you and maami , dadu and dadi , nanu and nani."
" Hey see . My baby girl has woken up. Come let's play with her. "
" Mamu see she slept again. Now answer please. Does she need permission from Nanu and Nani to sleep with Dadda how we need to get permission from mamma and Dadda to sleep with Nani or anyone else ?"
" Umm yes. "
" Whose permission?"
" Your Arsalan uncle."
" Arsalan uncle? But why him? He is not mamma's father na. Nanu is mamma's father. He has not come to meet us since we came to India . He had said he will meet us here."
" You won't understand. Ahh Babies come we will go for ice cream.yeyyy.. come let's go before your mamma comes."
" But Mamu"
" No no. No talks now. Come let's go and have icecream. Which flavour you want? "
