Fauji papa

4 : Panic

It was saturday and a holiday for the kids and madhavi. The kids wanted to get up late but their father had other plans so they were up and ready at the breakfast table grumpy.

"Papa apko base jana he tho hame kyu itni jaldi uthna hai!!!" Ansh says irritated while making faces at the upma madhavi made.

"Aadat choot jayegi beta.. saturday and sunday ko bhi right time pe uthe tho aapko school days me takleef nahi hoga. Aur kaha aap 5 baje uthe ho? 7 baj rahe he!!" Kalyan says while rubbing ishaan's eyes gently with water in order to wake him up. He was sleeping while sitting.

"Bohot bure he aap! Kal me kitna thak gaya tha, ye ghatiya stairs up and down karte karte! Mere paav bohot hurt kar rahe he!!! Aur rest lene ke begair me yaha baitha hu!!" Ishaan whines while burying his head in kalyan's palms. In reality they were not hurting at all, he just wants to be a drama queen.

"Sorry bacha.. karte kyu ho aise harkatein? Ye koi tameez ki baat hui? Apne maa ko ignore karna, seediyo pe stomp karte karte utharna?"

"Aaa papa please subha subha nahi!" Ishaan yells while covering his ears with his hands.

"Haa chup kijiye! Shuru ho jate ho subah subah mere bacho pe!" Madhavi says while giving him a cup of tea.

"Kuch bhola bhi nahi, aagayi guardian angel banke!" Kalyan shakes his head while sipping on the tea.

Ansh was still giving looks to the upma. He reallly doesn't want to eat it! He looks at madhavi and wants to plead her but doesn't as his father was right here. Kalyan has made a rule in the house that, if the kids throw a food tantrum, then they would have to eat the same thing for the whole week. Although this was never done as they always eat at just the threat, they didn't want to test him as he was not a man who makes empty promises.

"Mamma mera pet dukh raha hai" ansh whines while holding his stomach.

"Kyu bacha, kya hua??" Madhavi runs to him while panicking.

"Bohot dukh raha he mumma! Pata nahi kyu!! Aaaaaaa"

"Ye achanak se kya hogaya?? Bohot zyada he kya? Ansh bacha bolo?" Kalyan asks concerned.

"Haa papaaa bohoooooottt" ansh exaggerates to no extent. He even falls down on the floor and rolls while holding his stomach. Ishaan can clearly see his acting but his parents were unable to. They panic a lot everytime one of the kids get sick and forget everything. Ishaan just rolls his eyes and eats his food.

"Ansh chalo doctor ke paas jathe hai! Madhavi mera wallet leke aana zara.." kalyan immediately gets up and grabs the car keys. Ansh now realized he fucked up.

"Areee papa zarurat nahi hai us sab ki!! Thodi der so jaunga theek ho jayega! Aap base jayiye without fikar! Me room me so jatha hu!" Ansh says trying to cover it up.

"Nahi bacha, itna dard me ho tho jana padega."

"Areee papa please yaar!" Ansh wails and runs towards his room.

"ANSHHH!" kalyan yells out.

"Kaha gaya??" Madhavi asks panicked.

"Aree mamma natak kar raha hai! Ab hospital jaana pada tho phat gayi uski!" Ishaan says while calmly munching on his food. Madhavi and kalyan then see the untouched ansh's plate and sigh. They were just relived that ansh was fine. Ansh was a premature baby so he had a lot of immunity issues growing up. He won't know how much his small act has startled his parents who used to run back and forth to hospitals in the middle of the night throughout his childhood. It was even worse when kalyan went on a mission and madhavi had to look after the kids all alone.
