The Fault In Our Stars

1. The Secret

"Baby, please eat at least something?", Avneet tried again, trying to make the child eat a bite, at least.

"No, Ishaan don't wanna, hmph.", the child huffed, his cheeks puffed out throwing yet another tantrum, trying to push the hand of the female trying to feed him while he eyes the food in the spoon in disgust.

"Shaan, that's enough. You have to eat something. You have the first day of your school tomorrow.", Avneet tried again, this time a bit sternly.

The child groaned but Avneet was stubborn, she glared at the boy, not too harshly, she can never be. Her soft eyes were never harsh on the little child she adores more than her life.

The boy begrudgingly opened his mouth a little and Avneet  victoriously before pushing the spoon in his mouth, dumping all the food in there.

The boy chewed it slowly, a pout on his lips and a frown etched on his face looking at his mom's smug face. Avneet scrunched her nose as she smiled on how cute her baby looked as he noms his food away in a pout.

"YUCK!", he suddenly exclaimed, after a few bites, as soon as he swallowed, his tounge lolling out of his mouth in his distaste as his face scrunched into a disgusted expression.

He quickly gulped down the water in the glass kept in front of him, holding it with his both his little hands.

"Mumma did that again!", he shouted throwing his hands up in the air.

Avneet just shakes her head
before getting up and heads into the kitchen for keeping the leftover food in the plate away, knowing she won't be able to make him eat another bite after this.

The boy got down from his chair as he waddled after his mother an angry frown on his face.

"You make Ishaan sollow the yucky tomato. That's chweating.", he complained shouting as he tugged on the shorts his mother was wearing.

Avneet huffed as she turns around. She placed her hand on her hips as she looked down at her stubborn son. The same hazel eyes glaring- trying to glare actually. Her baby looked like an angry puppy.

She held out a finger. "Ishaan, firstly, stop shoutin-"

"NO!" She was cut off.

Ignoring the disrespect, for now, another finger.

"Secondly, tomatoes are healthy and you sh-"

"Ishaan hate them!", the child cried out.

Another finger. "And lastly it's swallow, not sollow."

The child threw his hand up in exasperation.

"Same things.", he said shrugging his shoulder.

Avneet narrowed her eyes. "No, it's not."

"Yes, mumma.", the child retorts.

"No, it's not."

"Yes, it ish."

"No, it's absolutely not.", Avneet pressed.

"Mumma, pwease. Itsh not. Stobh it."

"It's Stop. S. T. O. P."

"Jann said it was okay if ishaan says that.", the child says crossing his little arms over his chest, not before flipping his imaginary hair, just like his jann has taught him to.

Avneet exhales exhausted. Stupid Jannat, always spoiling my child.

"Okay Shaan. Mumma is busy, why don't you go and watch TV for a while. After that, you'll have to sleep 'cause you have to go to the school tomorrow.", she says and the boy nods.
