Whispers of Romance

"Vaidaksh at Singhania & Co."

With Vaidaksh now starting to speak in bits and pieces, life in the Singhania household had become more lively—and more challenging. The little one had developed a strong desire to talk, blabber, and engage with everyone around him. His adorable yet demanding nature meant that if he didn’t get the attention he sought, he’d express his cute displeasure with an angry pout or frustrated tears. Understanding the needs of their growing boys, Vaidehi and Vanshika made the decision to adjust their schedules at the academy. They agreed to take turns attending, ensuring that one of them was always home to care for Vaidaksh and Vihaansh, who were still very small and deeply attached to their mothers. These tiny “Mumma’s boys” needed the constant presence of their mothers, and both women were committed to being there for their sons. But the responsibility didn’t fall solely on Vaidehi and Vanshika. Viyansh and Vihaan believed just as strongly in the importance of fatherhood. Viyansh and Vihaan wholeheartedly supported this approach. They believed that parenting was a shared responsibility and were committed to being actively involved in their children's upbringing. They also decided to take turns along with Vaidehi and Vanshika in handling the babies, creating a balanced and supportive environment for their families. This new routine allowed each parent to contribute equally to childcare while maintaining their professional commitments. The arrangement ensured that Vaidaksh and Vihaansh always had someone to interact with, keeping their spirits high and their little hearts content. The Singhania household, bustling with love and care, thrived on teamwork and mutual support. Each day was a new adventure, filled with the joyful blabbering of Vaidaksh and Vihaansh, and the heartfelt efforts of their parents to create a nurturing and happy home.

It was a lively evening in the Singhania household. Vanshika was at the academy, and Vaidehi was at home, left to manage the two little troublemakers with Vikram's occasional help. Vaidaksh, who had recently started standing by holding onto things, was growing more adventurous each day. Meanwhile, Vihaansh, who had mastered crawling, was determined to keep up with his elder brother. The two boys were inseparable, playing with each other and then “running” away—though in their case, it was more of a combination of wobbly standing and rapid crawling. Their giggles filled the house as they engaged in their own little game of catch-me-if-you-can. However, this playful mood made it nearly impossible for Vaidehi to feed them. She had been chasing after them since morning, trying to coax them into eating something, but the boys were having none of it. Every time she got close, they would squeal in delight and wriggle away, turning the feeding session into a full-fledged game of cat and mouse. Vaidaksh, with his newfound ability to stand, was particularly tricky. He would pull himself up on the edge of the couch or a chair, only to plop back down with a giggle the moment Vaidehi reached him. Vihaansh, not to be outdone, would crawl as fast as his tiny hands and knees would allow, usually finding a new hiding spot behind furniture or under a table, only to pop out with a mischievous grin. Poor Vaidehi was running from one end of the room to the other, a spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other, trying her best to keep up with her energetic boys. Vikram watched with a mix of amusement and sympathy, occasionally stepping in to help corral the little ones, but even he was finding it difficult to keep them still. Despite the chaos, Vaidehi couldn’t help but smile at their antics. Their laughter was contagious, and although she was a bit worn out from the constant chasing, seeing them so happy made it all worth it. She took a deep breath, readying herself for another round of the chase, determined to get at least a few spoonfuls of food into them before they managed to wriggle away again. Vaidehi finally managed to feed both Vaidaksh and Vihaansh after a tiring session of chasing them around. Once their little tummies were full, she let out a sigh of relief and settled down beside Vikram on the couch in the living room. The boys, now content and energized, were playing happily on the mat that Vaidehi had spread out for them. The mat was scattered with their favorite toys, but what fascinated Vaidehi the most was how engrossed they were in their own little world. Vaidaksh and Vihaansh were deep in conversation, babbling away in a language only they seemed to understand. They would occasionally glance at each other, giggle, and clap as if sharing some inside joke. It was a heartwarming sight, seeing the bond between the brothers growing stronger with each passing day. Vaidehi leaned back against the couch, finally taking a moment to rest. She watched the boys with a soft smile, her heart swelling with love for her little ones. Vikram, who had been observing the evening’s events with quiet amusement, gently patted Vaidehi's head.
