The Fault In Our Stars

4;)

4. Will he now?

Present

"Thankuuu, jann!", the younger boy screeched in glee, jumping in his place as he waited for his aunt to hand him a box of the tasty treat in her hands.

"No worries, kiddo.", Jannat said ruffling the hair of the kid.

"Jann masi ish best!!!"

Jannat smiled widely, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "That's right. I'm the best."

The three-year old beside her nodded as he stuffed another spoon of his chocolate mint into his little mouth, some staying at the end of his lips 'cause of his messy eating.

Jannat shook her head and wiped the ice cream off his face with a tissue. "Don't dirty your clothes, ishu. Your mommy is gonna kill me.", she scolds the boy softly.

The boy passes her a toothy smile. "Sowwy, jann masi.", he says smiling sheepishly.

They finish the ice cream in silence afterwards. The television playing random songs and the duo just bobbing their heads to the beats and gulping the frozen dessert down.

"When will mumma come back?", the boy asks after a few minutes. Jannat glances at her wristwatch and shrugs. "Don't know. She might take long." And the boy pouts.

Jannat scoots closer and caresses the boy's head. "Aw, is my baby missing mommy?", she asks the baby who nods his head sullenly.

"It's alright. Don't be sad. Jann masi is here. And since your mum is not here, you can have another box of ice cream!", she says to cheer the boy up and walks up to the refrigerator and walks back taking out another two box of ice cream.

"Yaaayyyy!! I lob you, jann!!!", the boy screeches excitedly jumping in his place as he spreads his hands out, waiting for Jannat to drop the box in his hands.

"Patience, my child.", Jannat coos at the happy puppy expression of the boy.

"I love you too but your mum mustn't know we had ice-cream or rather actually two cups of it. I'm too young and Beautiful to die. World can't afford such losses. Alright?"

Of course, Avneet must not know. She is very strict about Ishaan's diet. She does treat her baby with everything but in limits. But much to her dismay, her child is a picky eater, just like his father. If she gets to know that Jannat allowed ishaan to eat two ice creams at once, haha,hell will break loose.

Not like Avneet can do anything to Jannat or Jannat is scared. The consequences will be on poor ishu.

"Yesh, yesh. Mumma not knows.", the boy agreed, nodding his head as Jannat drops the box in his hands.

And then Jannat sits and opens her fourth box for the afternoon and starts gobbling the ice cream down.

The sudden clicking of the doorknob catches the attention of both and they panic instantly. Jannat chokes on the ice cream and our smart boy just throws the small ice cream tub under the sofa.

The door opens and Avneet, who enters to Jannat's violent coughs and her son's extra smiley face, looks at them with wide eyes.

Aaaaannd, she knows exactly they've been upto something.

"Jann, are you alright?", she asks looking weirdly at Jannat. The latter just nods her head and flashes her a thumbs up which contrasts with the red face and tear-stained cheeks.

She glances at the ice-cream plate in her hands and looks like she was on an ice-cream spree again with her son this time. Oh, she has seen Jannat gobbling down four large ice-cream tubs in the span of half an hour.
