Papa surprise pt.2

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY KITCHEN?"

They heard viren yelling, and they both ran towards the kitchen to see a seething viren looking at a very messy kitchen slab.

"papa we can explain" akaash tried to save vihu, seeing how worked up he was getting.

"Ok go ahead"
"Actually, woh.."

"Papa, it's me, I made the mess , I made biryani for you because it's your birthday" vihu mumbled so close to crying by now.

Viren's face softened and he pulled his baby towards himself " baby you should have told papa, now there's a huge mess and you could hurt yourself" viren chided gently.

Vihu just sniffled and started rubbing his eyes, the tell-tale signs that he is tired.

"Achha show me what you made" viren said excited even though deep down he knows they would be lucky if there was something edible in that biryani.

"Vihu just pointed towards their dining table where was a plate covered with a lid.

Viren gulped ' why the suspense' he wanted to shout but one look at vihu's teary eyes and wobbly lips, he knew he has to shut up and eat whatever was served.

He said a silent prayer, wore a smile and undid the lid. Once he saw his supposed meal, he knew he could handle few tears from vihu but never this, he will go straight to the hospital if he ate this.

"Vihu baby come here" he said and pulled him to sit on his lap.

" my baby made yummy biryani just for papa?" He asked softly and felt heart broken watching the excited grin on vihu's face.

"Because it's your birthday and you love biryani na, that's why I made it, I didn't know if it's yummy, but I really want it to be good" vihu mumbled the last part.

"But baby it's got cold now so papa needs to warm it so it's even more yummy, until then we will make some parathas to eat before eating my baby's special biryani, ok" he tried to be optimistic as possible and hoped that vihu would eventually fall asleep so he can get rid of the dish and make a similar one, more edible this time.

"Ok papa, but it's good right?" He asked with a tiny tired voice.

"It is, chalo help papa to make paratha" viren said and watched as vihu yawned and started rubbing his eyes again. All that hard work early in the morning had worn him out.

"Let's make breakfast and help you go to bed" he said grabbing the opportunity.

"But I want to sing happy birthday to you papa" he pouted.

"Haan toh you can sing now"

" but it won't be special, I wanted to make it special for you but I just ruined it" and that's it, his dam broke and he started crying.
In his head, he served cold biryani that's why his papa won't be able to celebrate early, and to add to that he is super tired and sleepy and his hand hurts him, all in all he failed to make this day special for him.

Viren was worried, he even contemplated eating the biryani right there and then, but again he looked at it once again and, nope he can't do that.

"Bacha, it's a very special day for me, I have my babies with me, and my vihu made me food, i feel so special already." He said rubbing his back trying to calm him down. " so papa needs to make breakfast and then warm the biryani so we can eat it later, ok? Thank you so much bacha i loved it" he added getting up and kissed his forehead before getting to work.

He made the breakfast, once they finished eating, vihu could hardly keep his eyes open.

Viren guided him to his bed patted him asleep, and was about to when he heard him mumble "happy birthday papa"

His eyes filled up, he no more cared about the mess or anything else, all he knew at that moment was to treasure his kid's heart and his feelings and make sure they're never harmed in any way, even if he has to lie to do it.
