The Rajput mansion brightened with happiness, adorned with colorful flowers on The auspicious day of Rakshabandha. This day always held a special place in Aarunya's heart. She still remembers the time she used to feel upset on this day as she didn't have any brother. Being an only child, she had always wanted a sibling to play with. She had dreamt to share her toys with her siblings and her love for children made her want a brother or sister more desperately. She still remembers the day when she was pouting and whining about not having a brother on the day of Rakhi and her mother told her to consider lord Ganesha as her sibling. And since that day she's tying the pure thread of Rakhi to her brother, lord Ganesha.
But today was more special for her as Abhimanyu was coming to the Rajput mansion to meet her along with her mother and the fact that she would be able to tie Rakhi to her new found brother is the best part of her day today.
Meanwhile Trayaksh was still sulking slightly and why won't he? After all his nemesis is coming that too to meet the people he's most possessive about and all he can do is to stay silent and watch since he doesn't want to see any sadness in the precious eyes of his wife and mother.
Arpita has become a mother figure to him now. The mother he never had. She treats him the same as she treats Aarunya and his heart is truly captured by the two most important women of his life. His mother and his wife.
"baba a Baababaaba"
His thoughts ended as soon as he heard the vite babbling of his baby son."Ahh. Is my little champ jealous, hm? You've my heart as well, my junior prince".
He spoke as Aranya pouted, looking like a little bird making Trayaksh chuckle.
This was his family.
His unexpected family which has his heart now.
Trayaksh's heart felt the warmth seeping inside as he held the little baby in his arms, cradling it and Aranya babbled and giggled happily.
He had already put on Rakhi which his sister had sent from abroad though he still missed her on this occasion. She was one of the persons who truly cared for him even though she was younger than him but to Trayaksh she was like a flower blooming in the lonely garden of his life. They didn't spend much time together but the moments and memories they made were the best in his life. And even though he didn't want to admit it, he did miss the twins, his siblings Ira and Idhan.
***
The doorbell rang and soon Abhimanyu entered inside in all his glory with gifts in his hand and his sister trailing behind him happily.
Trayaskh rolled his eyes in jealousy as he watched Abhimanyu introduce his sister to the family and soon Abhimanyu and Adira hugged Arpita and Aarunya one by one.
"Bababababab"
The baby babbled in Trayaksh's ears and he grinned slightly looking at his son."Yes champ, now it's your dad's turn to be jealous."
