Barrels of Love and Dream

4. The announcement.

In the morning, Naira woke up and saw Kairav and Kartik cutely sleeping cuddling each other. She looked beside only to see akshu sleeping in the same position as Kartik. Naira chuckled at their innocence. Then Naira went to check upon Kaira. The sight she saw made her dance in happiness as memories flushed across her eyes. Kaira was sleeping in the middle and Akshara and Naitik had cuddled her from both sides. Kaira too had reverted the cuddle by holding both their hands. Naira could easily see her smaller version sleeping with her parents. Naira then quickly went downstairs where she saw Swarna and Gayu preparing the breakfast.

Naira: Good morning maa. Good morning Gayu di.

Gayu/Swarna: Good morning Naira.

Naira:Sirat kahan hai?

Gayu: Sirat aur Ranveer jogging pe gye hai. Woh wahan se directly office jayenge, kisi product ka promotion hai. Aate aate shaam ho jayegi.

Naira: Perfect .

Swarna: Kya khurafat chal rhi hai tumhare dimaag mein?

Gayu: Maa khurafat nhi , iske dimaag mein kuch aur hi chal rha hai. Don't worry Naira. Hum sab milke Siveer ki shaadi ko bahut special banayenge.

Swarna: Accha ji.

Gayu/Naira: Haa ji.

Gayu: Naira sab ban gya hai. Bas tum kachori bana do. Main jaake vatsal ko dekh aati hoo.

Naira: Haa di.

Gayu went upstairs only to see Vatsal and Vansh sleeping. She was about to leave when two strong arms encircled her waist and lifted her by her waist.

Gayu:Shubham....

Subham: Good morning...Gayu...

Subham snuggled his face into Gayu's neckline making Gayu moan.

Gayu:Sh...ub..haamm...koi dekh lega.

Shubham: Koi nhi dekhega.

Shubham tightened his grip on Gayu's waist which made Gayu hold Subham's shoulder more tightly. He then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Gayu's forehead, then on the cheek and then finally pecked her lips, squeezing her waist. Gayu reciprocated without equal intensity and held Shubham's neck. Their indulgence was broken by Vatsal's cry.

Gayu: (Managing her saaree) Shubham....Vatsal....

Shubham: Ohh...(Going towards vatsal) Kya hua Vatsal... kyun ro rhe ho bacche?

Gayu: Arey mera baby...kyun ro rhe ho.

Gayu picked up Vatsal in her arms to make him calm. But he kept on crying. Vansh woke up hearing Vatsal's cry.

Vansh: Mumma, Papa, Vatsal kyun ro rha hai.

Shubham : Arey mere sher, Good morning.

Vansh :Good morning papa.

Shubham:Aaja( Shubham lifted Vansh on his shoulders) Papa beta milke Vatsal ko chup krayenge.

Then Shubham and Vansh started dancing. Vatsal saw this and stopped crying.

Gayu: Accha ji. Toh inko entertainment chahiye tha.

Gayu joined in the dance making Vatsal giggle. All four were dancing and enjoying a bright morning of their life.

Gayu: Chalo bahut ho gya nachna gaana. Shubham, please tum Vansh aur Vatsal ko fresh kara do aur khud be fresh ho jao.

Shubham: (Whispering in Gayu's ear) Aapka hukum sar aakhon par sweetheart.

Gayu blushed hard and then went downstairs. Just then Naksh entered with Krish on his back and Kirti holding a packet full of pastries.

Kirti: Aaj Naksh ne sab ke liye special pastries banayi hai.
