Abhay's POV

As I opened my eyes, I beheld the sight of the most beautiful face in the world: my lovely wife, Prerna, sleeping peacefully on her favorite pillow—my arm. She looked so adorable as she snuggled into my chest, reminiscent of how our daughter Kavya used to sleep when she was a child.

I kissed her forehead and pat her cheek, "Prerna, Wake up." She yawned and wrapped her arms around me. "I don't want to wake up yet. Let me sleep." 

"Prerna, You can sleep in the afternoon too. Today is Sunday." 

"Yes, Today is Sunday that's why I am asking you to let me sleep. On working days I wake up early, Abhay."

"Let her sleep, you fool.", my brain said.  

"You should not speak between me and my wife's matters, man."

"What are you? She is a cutie pie, and you don't have any right to upset her."

"What am I? Bro, I am her husband."

"So what? Let her sleep, you fool."

"You... Uh, why am I arguing with you... You can't do anything except talk..."

I got up from bed and took Prerna in my arms to make her stand. She stretched herself and yawned, "Why... don't you... ever... listen to me...?"

I wrapped my arms around her waist and gazed into her eyes, "Because I love you, darling. It is hard for me not to see you around me." I playfully touched our noses.

She puts her arms around my neck, "Hayee... These eyes are the reason I always melt... Now, let me be fresh."

"Why so fast? I haven't seen your eyes enough yet.", I tighten the grip around her waist. 

"Even after 2 kids, your romantic mood hasn't changed a bit.", She rubbed her nose on my nose.

"You know what, I Love you...", I kissed her on the lips and they tasted the same way as always. After a few seconds, she pushed me off and rushed to the bathroom. 

As my daily routine, I went downstairs to wake up Rohit, he has his flight from Delhi as his team will depart to South Africa for the U-19 World Cup. 

After waking him, I went to Kavya's room. Like always, I sat beside her while caressing her forehead. I took her head in my lap and kissed her forehead. "Good morning, baccha" 

She opened her eyes slowly and stretched her arms, then she got up and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Good Morning, Papa" 

**********

I and Prerna were sitting around the dining table, "... I am pretty sure, he's gonna wi..."

"PAPAAA....", Kavya's yell came to my ears, she came running towards me. "Papa, bhaiya is teasing me.", she sat in my lap. 

"Who started first?", Rohit replied. 

"You are an adult, Ro...", I said.  "Don't take your daughter's side every time. My son suffers a lot.", Prerna interrupted while caressing Rohit's arm.

"Oh, It is My daughter and your son now! Wow.", I said. "Don't worry MY BACCHI... Forget about these people, Let's have breakfast." She sat beside my chair.
