Burning Soul's

Chapter 40

Third PERSON POV

The sound of Adarsh's phone ringing filled the room as Yashi glanced at him, curiosity flickering in her eyes.

"Kiska phone hai?" she asked, wanting to know who was calling.

Adarsh leaned in, pecking her lips lightly. "I'll be back soon," he said before heading out, leaving Yashi pouting in response.

"Baddie," she mumbled, her lower lip jutting out as she walked away.

Despite all the previous chaos, things had finally settled down. Shruti and Rudransh were together at last, and their wedding went smoothly. Two days had passed peacefully, and after much insistence from Adarsh, Yashi and Aashvi had finally moved into the Oberoi Mansion.

RAKSHABANDHAN DAY

Aashvi was practically bouncing with excitement as she awaited the arrival of her new baby brother. Meanwhile, Yashi sat in the room, nervously biting her nails, still clueless about Adarsh's plans.

"Mumma, bhai kab aayega? Batao naa!" Aashvi pleaded, her excitement shining through.

Yashi sighed, pouting innocently. "Mujhe bhi nahi pata, Aashvi. Let’s see tumhare papa kab aate hain... Pata nahi is khadoos ke dimag mein chalta kya hai," she muttered under her breath.

Just then, the door creaked open, revealing Adarsh holding a small baby boy, no older than a year or two, in his arms. Yashi's eyes widened in shock, while Aashvi let out a squeal of delight.

"Mumma, dekho! Bhai aa gaya!" she exclaimed, rushing towards Adarsh. "Papa, ise bed pe rakho naa! Mujhe bhai ke saath khelna hai!" She bounced on her toes in excitement.

Adarsh chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Ssh… calm down, my little monkey." He then turned to Yashi. "Can you hold my champ for a minute?"

Still too stunned to speak, Yashi simply nodded, stepping forward to take the baby carefully into her arms. As she gazed at the little boy, whose tiny fingers clutched her kurti tightly while he looked up at her with big, innocent eyes, her heart melted. He was too adorable for words.

MEANWHILE, Adarsh busied himself, replacing the old bedsheet with a fresh one. "Yashi, why don’t you come sit with him here? Aashvi wants to tie Rakhi to her brother and play with him," he suggested.

Yashi smiled and nodded, settling onto the bed with the baby. Aashvi plopped down next to her, excitement radiating from her small frame.

"Hiiiiii bhai!" she chirped, her voice full of joy.

The baby giggled in response, making both Adarsh and Yashi smile.

"Look how happy he is after hearing his sister’s voice," Adarsh said warmly.

"Of course! He’s my bhai!" Aashvi declared proudly, planting a kiss on the baby's chubby cheek. Suddenly, she looked up at Adarsh with hopeful eyes. "Papa, can you call Ansh? I wanna tell him about my new baby brother!"

Adarsh’s expression darkened for a moment. Though it had been two days, he still wasn’t thrilled about Aashvi and Ansh being "boyfriend and girlfriend." But how could he refuse his little princess? With a sigh, he pulled out his phone and dialed Kunj's number. After a few rings, Kunj finally picked up.

"Aaj hume kaise yaad kiya?" Kunj teased, a smirk evident in his tone.

"Chal bey, saale," Adarsh muttered in irritation. "Aashvi ko Ansh se baat karni hai."

"Ooh, you mean meri hone wali bahu apne hone wale pati se baat karna chahti hai?" Kunj teased further.

Adarsh's jaw clenched, his grip tightening on the phone. "Say it again, and I swear I'll beat the shit out of you. My Aashvi will always be single!" he growled.
