Embracing The Unplanned

71.Thunder and Rain

"Papa,yeh dekhiye!"Iti said showing the hairstyle Bela had made.

"Arre wahh!aap toh bht acchi lag rahi h!"Hriday said and Iti beamed hearing that.

"Toh aapne kya kiya aaj pure din, shaitani krne ke alawa?"Hriday teased her and she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Humne shetani nhi ki!!!hum good girl h"Iti immediately defended herself and Hriday chuckled hearing her cute defence and she huffed but still didn't get off his lap.

"Acha hum freshen up hoke aate h,aap yahi bethiye!"Hriday said for the 3rd time now but Iti still shook her head at that.

"Arre baat toh suniye hamari!"Iti said and Hriday sighed and rest everyone chuckled as they saw the father-daughter interaction.

Iti wasn't being quiet,she was speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Aaj tujhe jaane nhi degi yeh!"Aashu said laughing.

"Kabse sunn hi toh rahe h na hum Iti?papa ko freshen up hone dijiye phir hum pakka aapki baat sunenge"Hriday said trying to convince her but Iti still denied and didn't get down his lap, neither allowed him to get up from the sofa.

Hriday sighed.

"Mumma ko bataiye yeh sab jaiye Iti!"Hriday said when he didn't see Aayat around.

"Humne sab sun liya,ab aapki baari"Aayat said as she came with a glass of water for him and everyone chuckled hearing that while she didn't realise she said it out loud too so she immediately left into the kitchen.

"Acha bataiye phir aur kya kya kiya aapne?"Hriday said finally giving up,as he laid down on the sofa and Iti stood beside the sofa.

Iti climbed on top of him and sat on his stomach and Hriday raised his eyebrows at that.She always does this when she needs something from him.

"Aap kitne acche h papa!"Iti said as she caressed his cheek with her tiny palms.

"Hayee yeh kitni pyaari h!!!"Shivansh said gushing at Iti's adorable antics.

"Kya chahiye aapko?"Hriday asked as he stopped her hands caressing his cheeks.

"Peppa pig!!!!"Iti said excitedly and Hriday smiled at her.

"Hum aapko dikhate h,rukiye!!"She said as she got up from his stomach and ran to get her mother's phone.

Hriday all the while was just amused.

She ran back towards the living room not at all minding the rest of the family sitting there, instead she searched for her father and again settled on his stomach showing him something on her mother's phone.

"Iti humne aapko kitni baar kaha h aap phone nhi use kar sakti"Hriday said lil sternly as he took the phone from her and she pouted.

"Pr ismein Peppa pig h papa!!!"Iti whined.

"Haa hum lekr aayenge aapke liye kal Peppa pig,pr phone ko haath nhi lagana,aap abhi choti h!"Hriday said,he had seen kids getting addicted to mobile phones,even his own sister's kids won't have food without watching cartoons on mobile,they would cry and throw tantrums if the phone was taken away from them.

He didn't want anything like this to happen with Iti and so he and Aayat had made a strict rule to not let her use either of their phones,her screen time was very limited with only an hour of watching Tv.

"Pr aapko nhi pata Peppa pig kesa dikhate h!"Iti pointed out.

"Humne pata h,pink color ka pig h na?"Hriday asked.
