Azlan was driving while Aahil sat in the passenger seat and Ahaan and Zaviyan sat in the back seat with Azaina in the middle. She sat there sulking and pouting.
"Just because main chhoti hun doesn't mean Mujhe hi beech mein baithna h." She said while crossing her arms on her chest looking absolutely adorable.
"Aesa hi rule hai." Zaviyan said pinching her cheeks.
"Bhai dekhen na Zavi ko." She said swatted his hands and lean towards Aahil.
"Zavi Bhai bolo Azaina." Azlan said sternly.
"Koi baat nahi Azu aap aage baith jaana jab hum wapis aaenge." Aahil said.
"Toh aap kahan baithenge." She replied.
"Tum meri lap pe baith jaana meri maa. Ab bas chup krke baith Jao. Aese lean na ho." Aahil said.
"Mujhe toh aese hi sahi lag raha h." She replied.
"Azaina." Azlan warned.
Ahaan pulled Azaina towards the seat and locked her under his arms.
"Bhaiya ki baat maan liya kro, unhe gussa aa jaega." He whispered.
"Yeh aese hi khadoos hai." She said while trying to whisper but apparently everyone heard and smiled.
"Han bhae, aesehi grumpy rehte h." He whispered back.
"Bilkul aapki tarah." She said and giggled.
They reached the mall and everyone started opening their doors but Azlan put the child lock and turned around.
"Azaina, Mera aur Aahil ka haath pakdi rehna. No wandering around clear?" He said firmly.
"Bhaiya main bachi nahi hun." She said while rolling her eyes.
"Azaina, main serious hun, koi gadbad ki na tumne main seedha ghar le Jaonga." He said glaring.
"Ji bhaiya, aapka haath nahi chhodungi." She said.
They all started moving towards the shops. First they went to get her school uniform and then they entered the clothing section. Azlan and Aahil picked up her both western as well as traditional clothes for her.
"Aapko hair accessories chahiye?" Azlan asked and she nodded. They picked some of that too.
"Bhaiya Mujhe yeh chahiye." She said showing Azlan one of the eyeshadow palette when they were shopping for skincare products.
"Nahi Azaina, aap bohot chhoti ho makeup ke liye, yeh sab nahi milega." He said.
"Bhaiya please Mujhe chahiye, Mujhe makeup bhi krna aata hai." She said persistent on getting that.
"No Azaina I don't care aata hai ya nahi, but you are not getting that." He said firmly this time.
"Mujhe chahiye, chahiye chahiye." She said stomping her foot for effect.
"Azaina behave." Azlan said sternly glaring at her.
"No I want this. Why can't you just get me, you know what forget it, I have the card." She rolled her eyes and went to pay for her stuff.
"You are not getting it." He said snatching the card from her.
"Bhaiya yar mera hai woh." She whined.
"Aap bohot chhoti ho, you are way too small to spend money on your own. I am keeping this until you are big enough to handle expenses and learn the value money." He said keeping the card in his suit jacket.
"Fir aap Mujhe dilae makeup, Mujhe pasand h." She said stubbornly.
"Azaina enough." He said leaning towards her maintaining eye contact.
