The kids were back from their exam and ansh was dreading his study session. He doesn't want to go through what happened yesterday, but it is true that he studies and his exam went well.


"papa pleasee mujhe nahi padna, wo bhi aapki ghatiya study method se!!" ansh whined while hanging around kalyan.

"nahi beta, aapko padna hi hai, nahi tho aapki mumma mujhe maar dalegi!" kalyan says while ruffling ansh's hair.

"mumma ki bohot yaad bhi aaraha hai! phone bhi nahi utha rahi!! pyaar hi nahi he hum par!" ansh says sadly.

"mumma bohot busy he beta... roj teen teen ladkiyo ke ghar ghum rahe he!"

"kyu?" ansh asks confused

"aapke mamu ko jaldi wapis states jana hai aur itni kam time me sab ladkiyo ko dekhni hai!"

"fir bhi mujhe mumma ki bohot yaad arahi he papa" ansh says now with tears in his eyes.

"chalo call karte hai" kalyan says as he is unable to see his baby so sad.


They dial madhavi and she lifts the call.


"ji boliye" madhavi says in a tired and sleep deprived voice.

"mummmaaaaa!!!" ansh squeals excitedly as soon as he heard madhavi's voice.

"anshuu bachaa" madhavi also scremas, listening to ansh's voice melted all her fatigue.

"mumma me apko bohot miss kar raha hu... jaldi aa jao na.... mujhe nahi rehna papa ke saath akele" ansh says while crying

"kyu bacha.. papa ne kya kardiya?"

"mumma ekdum ghatiya khana khila rahe he... aur aur apko patha he kal mujhe bas paanch minute padai se break lene ke liye maara" ansh wails

"aap pad rahe the?" madhavi asks genuinely surprised.

"haaa wo bhi mene kal 7-8 pada tha!! aur sab breaks milake aadha ganta bhi nahi liya! phir bhi wo mujh maare! mere phone bhi le liye! itna saara daanta! aur khada hoke padne ko bola" ansh says while sniffing and is stopped by kalyan with a whack on his head.

"hogaya teri complaining?" kalyan asks while whacking ansh's head again.

"mumma dekhoo ab bhi!" ansh ignores kalyan and whines.

"aaap kyu bache ko satha rahe he? itna maarne ki kya zarurat he?aur paanch break bhi liya tho kya hua? 7-8 ghante wo apni zindagi me nahi pada!! mene bola na bacho ko thoda pyaar se deal kare?" madhavi scolds kalyan and he looks at her with a done face.

"tumhare ladlo ne meri poori halat kharab kar di! please jaldi ajao! i can't wait to go back to academy!" kalyan pleads madhavi.

"haa haa udhar cadets ko apni rubaab jo dikhani hai" ansh snaps at kalyan.

"mene kabhi apni rubaab nahi dikhayi!" kalyan says while pinchign ansh's cheeks.

"papa apkw cadets apki shadow dekhne se hi darte hai, usse hi pata chalta hai hame aap kitne rubaab dikhate ho!" ishaan who came out from the shower teased kalyan too and the kids and madhavi laugh at him.

"haa haa wo thoda rubaab tum dono par bhi dikhata tho line pe aathe!" kalyan says and ansh pokes his tongue at him.


They spoke for a long time teasing kalyan all along.





"chalo ab khake padhne baito"

"papa...." ansh shows him puppy eyes.

"nahi bilkul bhi nahi! now no arguments, go!" kalyan orders in a stern tone.
