" Papa saari lights off kyu hai " Roohi asked to her father who was holding her hand because of darkness."

" Happy Birthday Roohi!!!! " All the family members, Ruhi's friends and some relatives shouted together.
" Wow!!! itni saari butterflies " Ruhi said while looking at the butterfly themed decoration of the entire hall and a big smile came on Neil's face seeing his daughter so happy.
" Humari cute si butterfly ke liye itni saari butterflies " Abhimanyu said while coming towards her and picking her up in his arms.
"Aap sabhi ne itni jaldi lights kyu on kar di? Mujhe andhere main kitna maza aa raha tha..." Roohi said Still Abhimanyu holding her carefully.
" Beta wo kya hai na ki aapke papa ko andhere se dar lagta hai isliye " Abhimanyu said this while looking at Neil and Neil started looking here and there and everyone chuckled at his antics.
" Main..main.. Kisi se nahi darta. Or ye andhera kya hi chiz hai mere saamne " Neil said having confidence in his voice and in eyes.
" To phir hum phir de lights off kar dete hai, hai na rooh " Abhimanyu said while putting Roohi down.

" Papa see, sab aa gaye " Saying this, Ruhi and Abhir quickly ran towards the door and Manish picked them up. And Neil silently went and stood in a corner so that no one from the Goenka family could see him and Abhimanyu noticed this thing of his.
" Nanu aap itna late kyu aaye? " Roohi said.
" Wo kya hai na beta, nanu ko thoda kaam tha isliye " Saying this manish put
Both the kids down." Neil, tu yaha par akar kyu khada ho gaya? " Abhimanyu said while standing beside Neil who was adoring her daughter from distance with a smile on his face.
" Bhai, Main yahi par thik hu agar main waha gaya to wo sab naraz ho jayenge or main nahi chahta....." When he was about to complete his sentence Abhimanyu interrupted him.
" Dekh... Jo galati tune kabhi ki hi nahi hai uske liye saza mat seven kar, Ruhi par sabse Pehle haq tera hai, main bhi dekht hu ki kon tum dono ko alag karta hai. " Abhimanyu said, placing his hand on his shoulder just then they saw that Roohi and Abhir were standing in front of them and both of them got scared.
" Papa chaliye aapko sab dhundh rahe hai. " Roohi said while standing in front of Neil and holding one of his hand and Neil looked at Abhimanyu and he nodded his head in yes.
" Haa chalo " Neil said this giving a normal look to Roohi and Abhir and Abhimanyu sighed in relief.

" Rooh ye humari taraf se, Happy Birthday baccha " Swarna gave her so many gifts while Rest of goenkas avoid Neil's.
" Roohi teri mumma kaha par hai, wo kahi dikhayi nahi de rahi. " One of Ruhi's friends came and asked him and Neil got scared as to how she would react. And that little girl again remembered that incident the day she saw a woman as her mother. And she came on the verge of cry.
