Mehra house was decorated like a bride today and why not ? After years of pleadings, cryings and medical treatments finally a child was born in the family. And fortunately it was a baby girl and today was her naming ceremony.
All the relatives, family friends, neighbours, colleagues everyone was invited. It was a huge function.
Dev and Sakshi Mehra was sitting in front of the hawan kund with their baby girl. The priest chanted some holy mantras and applied Tika on the trio's forehead.
Later he announced "Maine bachhi ki kundali dekh li haii, yakeen mane yeh Kanya bhot hi naseebon wali hai. Isey zindagi ki Sabhi khushiyaan, Shaan, shorhat sab milne ka yog hai... bachhi ka naam "S" se rakha jaana chahiye"
Everyone smiled hearing him. Dev proudly picked his daughter in his hands and looked at his wife who smiled at him.
He announced the name "Sana... SANA MEHRA"
Sana which means "brilliance" or "radiance".
Everyone clapped and showerd flower petals on the family.
"Such a cute name, just like my princess" Ashok ji who was dev's neighbour, friend and more like a brother said excitedly. While his wife Rita ji smiled and blessed the baby girl.
They all were unknown to the fact that someone was watching all this and sulking all the time.
Away from all the chaos, Sidharth, Ashok and Rita ji's 3 year old son was sitting on a chair while sulking and making weird faces. Beside him, his 6 months old brother, Rohit was sleeping in his cradle. After sometime his daadu, Chandrakant Shukla came there and sat beside him.
"Kya hua mere raajkumaar ka munh kyu bana hua haii" daadu asked.
"Kuch nahi daadu"
"Mujhe bhi nahi bataoge ?"
"Tchhh... daadu dekho na jabse angel aayi haii sab usko hi pyaar kar rahe hai... usko hi attention de rahe hain... main jaanta hu woh bhot cute hai or main bhot khush hu uske aane se... par sab dekho uske aas paas hi ghoom rahe hain.. Dev uncle, Sakshi aunty, maa, baba sab" he finally said.
Listening him daadu laughed out loud and he made a face.
"Ohh toh Sidharth jealous ho raha haii angel se ?"
"Main kisi se jealous nahi hota daadu.. "
Daadu nodded yet chuckled.

After sometime, all the guests have left. Only the Mehra family and Shukla family were present there talking and chilling.
Sidharth sneakily moved towards sana's cradle and looked at her.
She was sleeping, her eyes were closed.. she have her hands fisted laying on the sides. She was wearing a cute baby pink frock. She have a little amount of hair on her head. Her lips were pink and pouted. Her cheeks were as soft as cotton and she was as white as milk looking like a real angel or fairy.
Sidharth looked around and slowly spoke to her " Listen angel, you are very cute but you don't have to be this much cute to take all the attention."
At the same time Sana smiled in her sleep making him frown.
"Hawww.... you're smiling. First of all toh you took all the attention of my family, your family and everyone else. Secondly you stole my initial. And now you're smiling? Very bad Angel !"
"Sidharth ? Kya kar rahe ho wahan ? Idhar aa jao " Ashok ji called him. He glanced at her for one last time and moved towards his family.
Today he was sulking because she stole his initial.
How he will react when she will steal his surname ?_____________________
Sidharth moved towards the table where everyone was sitting. Dev picked him up and made him sat on his lap.
"Or champ kaise ho?"
"Main Toh achha hu uncle"
"Bhook lagi haii ?" This time Sakshi asked.
"Bohot zor ki aunty" he said rubbing his stomach to which everyone chuckled and Sakshi kissed his cheek.
He looked back at sana's cradle with a small smirk as if teasing her. Finally he was getting all the attention.
Later he kept on sitting in dev's lap and Sakshi fed him with her own hands. Rita ji and Ashok ji smiled looking at them. They have always treated Sidharth and Rohit as their own sons.
Suddenly Rohit started crying and Rita maa picked him up.
"Yeh dono chirkut lagta haii upar bhagwaan ji ke paas se hi team bana kar aaye Hain... ek shant hota haii toh dusra aa jaata haii mera attention lene... bhagwaan ji mere se kya dushmani haii aapki ?"
Sid mummered seeing his mom and dad trying to sush the crying Rohit.

It was the time for the Shukla family to leave.
"Oyee meri princess ka dhyaan rakhna.. or yaad rahe uski Aankhon mein ek bhi Aansu nahi aana chahiye" Ashok ji said to Dev and he rolled his eyes.
"Pata haii mujhe... woh meri beti haii or waise bhi for god sake tu bagal waale ghar mein hi rehta hai" Dev ji replied.
Sakshi and Rita ji chuckled at the over protectiveness of their husbands towards the baby girl.
Sidharth moved towards sana's cradle. Now she was fully awake and throwing her hands and legs in air as if playing football.
"Byee angel. Apna dhyaan rakhna or meri baat yaad rakhna" he said and she also calmed down listening his voice as if understood everything.
"Konsi baat beta ?" Ashok ji asked.
"Kuch nahi papa... yeh mera or angel ka top secret haii... haina angel ? Promise me you won't tell anyone... pinky promise ? " saying so he forwarded his pinky finger towards her and she looked at him with big doe Eyes and holds his finger.
Everyone was amused seeing their bond. Sidharth smiled at her and kissed her hand by which she was holding his hand.
Finally he left from there with his family.
That's it...
