As the days passed, Ishqi and Ahaan's relationship continued to deepen, filled with warmth and understanding. One morning during breakfast, Ishqi was clearly upset with both Ahaan and Vihaan. For the past week, the two had stayed up late watching movies and woke up late every day, ignoring her repeated reminders. Today, her patience ran thin as she scolded them, her frustration was evident. But Ahaan and Vihaan found it amusing, as they exchanged glances, silently agreeing on how adorable she looked when she was angry.

Vihaan gave a knowing nod to Ahaan, who responded with a mischievous smile. As Ishqi was about to sit down, Ahaan swiftly pulled her onto his lap.

Ishqi, taken aback, exclaimed, "Ahaan! What are you doing?"

With a grin, Ahaan whispered, "What does it look like I'm doing?"

Vihaan couldn't help but chime in with enthusiasm, "That was nice move, Papa!"

Ishqi rolled over her eyes at Vihaan and then retorted back while looking Ahaan, "Leave me, I have to take my breakfast."

"Have it here only. I don't have any problem.", Ahaan responded.

"Yes, Mumma, we don't have any problem.", Vihaan supported Ahaan.

Ishqi glared both of them and protested," You two never listen my words and now by teaming up, you both started troubling me."

Vihaan quickly responded with his innocent eyes, "When did we trouble you , Mumma? And you also didn't listen me. You didn't give me gift, Mumma. I just asked for a little baby."

"Yes, Ishqi tell, why didn't you give the gift?", Ahaan tried to tease her.

At that moment, Vihaan remembered about a circular so he went to bring it.

Now Ishqi turned towards Ahaan and exclaimed," What were you continuously blabbering?"

Ahaan shrugged playfully, "What did I say? I was just saying that we should fulfill our son's wish."

"You..."

Till then Vihaan came and handed them a circular. Both Ishqi and Ahaan looked at it-it was for a three-day camp scheduled for the following week.

Ahaan was quick to respond, "This looks great! Vihaan, you should go. There's a lot to learn at these camps, and I'll sign the consent form right now."

But as he said this, he noticed a flicker of sadness in Ishqi's eyes.

Vihaan, catching on, asked, "Mumma, you don't want me to go?"

Ishqi sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want you to go, Vihaan. I do. It's just that...three days without you..."

Vihaan, showing maturity beyond his years, reassured her, "Mom, it's only three days, not forever. Please, let me go."

With a small smile, Ishqi relented, "Alright, you can go. But now, finish your breakfast properly. And Ahaan, let me get up! I still need to eat."

Ahaan, refusing to let her go so easily, responded with a grin, "I didn't stop you. Wait ,Vihaan and I will feed you."

In a playful moment, both Ahaan and Vihaan took turns feeding her breakfast, and soon the whole family was sharing laughs and enjoying their time together.

A week passed, and the day arrived feeling sad about his absence. That night, while having dinner with Ahaan, she seemed distracted, her mind elsewhere.

Ahaan, noticing her preoccupied expression, asked, "Where are you lost?"

Ishqi sighed, "I am just missing Vihaan. It's only been a day, but the house already feels so quiet."
