"

Good morning."

"Huh" Avneet looked at Siddharth in surprise. "Oh, go-good mornin'?"

Siddharth passed a small, uneasy smile to her seeing how awkward Avneet became just because of the greeting.

Well, of course, the last few months Siddharth avoided her like a plague. Greetings and smiles weren't the normal exchanges between them but since their talk a week and half back, they've trying to act more civil than before.

It's still pretty awkward though.

"Is Ishaan awake?"

Avneet hummed at Siddharth's question. The new cook she has hired was packing the lunchbox for Ishaan in the kitchen as well as preparing the breakfast for them.

Well, it was almost the end of the year and many of the award shows take place around this time of the year so they were obviously very busy. Avneet obviously couldn't make much time in the morning because she stays up till late practicing choreographies for the songs they're performing this time around.

Also, they're having a comeback next month, so they have to work harder.

Since Avneet is new to the group, she has double the work. She has to go through the whole discography of the group.

She's got to learn to sing all their previous songs as well as the choreography so as to perform with the group. Luckily for her, there's just three to four albums.

"He's in my room. Watching the alphabet song on the TV. He has to present the song in front of the class today."

Siddharth's smile subconsciously widened on the mention of Ishaan's class presentation. His baby would do so good, he knows.

"I'll go check up on him."

"Please bring him fast for breakfast too. I have to leave within an hour."

Siddharth walks into Ishaan's room only to see Ishaan petting wasooli, the cute puppy, has been his bestie.

"Wasuwi! Shay goo' mornin to Dada!", he ordered the puppy as soon as he saw his dad coming in his room.

The puppy wooded cutely before licking Ishaan's face excitedly which made him whine.

Siddharth chuckled at the duo. They were both just too adorable! Their eyes so cute and misty as they looked up at each other, Ishaan with a pout and wasooli with mischief.

Siddharth sat on the rug where Ishaan was sitting with
Wasooli and pecked Ishaan's head. "Good morning, my little sunshine."

Ishaan smiled as he returned the greeting and crawled to Siddharth's lap. Wasooli woofed as it tried to crawl over to the older's lap as well, just like it's friend did.

Siddharth chuckled as he saw wasooli walk away woofing as it ran out of the room, probably to it's absolute favorite human that was Avneet, after failing at the task.

"Did my baby miss Dada? Mhmm?" Siddharth asked as he booped their noses together. Ishaan pouted. "Yesh. Miss Dada very mush.", he mumbled wrapping his arms around Siddharth's neck who cooed at him before cuddling him closer.

When after a few moments Ishaan didn't speak, a
Siddharth asked, "What happened, ishu?" because it wasn't usual for Ishaan to be this quiet in the morning.

Ishaan slowly let go of his neck and pouted, visibly sad. "Why not Dada sleep with Ishaan and mumma?"

Siddharth froze at the innocent question of his son. "I- umm..."
