The next morning, kalyan was back from his PT and went to wake the kids up.
"Ishaan, ansh utho beta jaldi! 7 baj gaye!" Kalyan gently nudges them and ishaan gets up immediately. He hugs kalyan and immediately falls back into sleep while laying on his chest. Meanwhile ansh had no mood to get up from his bed.
"Ishu fresh hoke nashta karo go!" Kalyan says while patting ishaan's back. Ishaan goes to freshen up.
"Ansh! Ut rahe ho ya nahi?" Kalyan asks in a stern tone.
"Mammaa 5 mins aur pleasee!" Ansh replies still in deep sleep not even realizing that it was his father waking him up. Kalyan goes into the washroom and gets a mug filled with water and without any regret pours the water harshly on ansh. Ansh wakes up with a jerk.
"AHHHH!!!! Papa!!! Ye kya kar diye he aap!" Ansh yells in irritation.
"Utho foran! Aur ye water sab saaf karke neeche aao!" Kalyan harshly commands and goes down. Ansh cleans everything frustratedly and goes down after getting ready with a sour mood.
Kalyan was adding water and heating up the instant tiffin powder . Ansh sits on the chair with a thud.
"Kya hogaya tujhe? Subah subah maar khani hai?" Ishaan asks ansh while whispering.
"Toh dekho inhe! Pani giradiye mujpe!! Pyaar se bhi tho utha sakthe the!!" Ansh snaps at ishaan.
"Ansh! Fix your attitude! Kaha sun the ho tum pyaar se bole tho!" Kalyan sternly orders while placing their plates in front of them. The kids scrunch their noses at the instant tiffin.
"Ye kya he papa?" Ishaan asks trying his best to not show his dislike at the food.
"Ab mujhe kaha khaana banana aati hai? Shop se le aaya instant tiffin. Bas garam paani dalna hai and it's ready!" Kalyan says with a proud smile on his face.
"Mujhe nahi khaana ye sab! Mumma hamesha fresh banati he!!" Ansh says sourly.
"Tumhari mumma ek hafte tak nahi aayegi! Adjust karlo!" Kalyan says with irritation.
"Papaaa ye artificial wala me nahi kha raha!" Ansh says while pushing the plate away from him immediately earning a glare from kalyan. Kalyan got angry but calmed himself as he understands their plight.
"Pehle kha ke tho dekho beta! Agar acha nahi laga tho me mumma se kuch recipes seekh lunga ya bahar se mangwate he." Kalyan says calmly but ansh has no intention to budge.
"Tho abhi mangwalijiye bahar se! Mujhe nahi khaana ye sab!" Ansh says while getting up from the chair.
"SIT DOWN!" Kalyan yells at ansh immediately making him gulp and take his seat again. Kalyan goes towards him and grabs his ear while giving it a painful twist.
"Tameez sare kaha bech ke aye ho? Do lagaunga na line me ajaoge! Subah se dekh raha hu tere nakhre! Aasman choo rahe he ek dum! Last warning ansh! Stop testing me further, i'm on the verge to lose it!" Kalyan says while leaving ansh's ear.
"Khaalo dono and go to school! Hall ticket and stationary mat bhool jana!" Kalyan says and leaves from there while trying to control his anger. It has not even been 24 hours since madhavi left and he already had a throbbing headache. He has been trying hard to keep in anger in check because madhavi asked him to. If it were any other day, ansh would have been in the corner by now crying.
The kids complete the breakfast with great difficulty and leave for their school. They complete their exam and come back home by afternoon. Ansh was actually the happiest person because if madhavi was here, she would have forced him to study but kalyan doesn't do that or so he thought. His hopes were about to be hit by a truck.
"Agaye?" Kalyan goes towards them and hugs them. The kids hug him back.
"Papa? Aap kyu ghar par hai?" Ishaan asks surprised to kalyan at home at this time.
"Ab mere ghar me rehne ko bhi tum dono ka permission leni padegi??" Kalyan asks while playfully pinching ishaan's cheeks.
"Mene kab aisa kaha" ishaan says while rolling his eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes! Kitni baar warn kia mene!" Kalyan says in a stern voice.
"Ji..." ishaan says weekly.
"Fresh hoke aao aur lunch karo. Ansh! Bag ko aise phekte ho ghar aake??"
"Aree mena aapki dekhne se bohot excite hogaya tha! Isliye hehhe" ansh says nervously while picking his bag up. The kids rushed to their rooms and came down to have their lunch. Kalyan ordered food from outside after seeing their tantrums in the morning. They ate it and ishaan went to his room to study whereas ansh jollyly plopped on the sofa and turned on the TV. An action for which he would have earned some smacks from madhavi during exam time but now with her not around, he is free. Or so he thought!
