"Aaaaaaaaa" noor yelled from the kitchen.
The trio ran into the kitchen thinking something happened to her, and they find her hanging from the top cabinets trying her best to not fall.
Kalyan runs to her and catches her. She falls into his arms and starts crying as she was too scared.
"Shh sshh shaant hojao bacha, kuch nahi hua apko!" Kalyan tries calming her.
"Bohot shok he na tarzan ban ne ki? Gir jathi tho mar jathi!! Pagal ladki!" Ansh scoffs at her and she cries louder.
"Chup raho!" Ishaan chides him while fetching water for noor.
"Noor bacha, yelo paani peeke calm down.. kuch nahi hua apko.." kalyan says while patting her back.
"Ye ro kyu rahi he?? Do minute chod ke jau tho kuch na kuch kar lete ho!" Madhavi asks concerned while coming there.
"Mama! Isko patha nahi ki billiyo ki pankh nahi hothe! Isliye udne ki try kar rahi thi aur almost girne wali thi!" Ansh immediately rats out and madhavi looks at him confused.
She takes a scared noor from kalyan's arms and starts consoling her. And madhavi was much better at consoling her babies than kalyan. Even though she didn't say anything, they calm down just by her embrace. Noor too stopped crying and was just softly sniffing now.
"Kya hua tha meri jaan? Kyu ro rahi thi?" Madhavi asks gently.
But noor was silent and didn't say anything. Madhavi looked at kalyan.
"Cupboard pe latki hui thi jab hum dekhe, shayad dar gayi!" Kalyan says.
"Upar kyu chadi?" Ishaan asks a rational question but noor doesn't answer.
"Noor! Kyu chadi thi upar?" Kalyan asks this time firmly.
Noor gets scared and buries her head in madhavi's chest. Kalyan melts at that sight and goes towards her. He kneels down to match her level as she was sitting on madhavi's lap on the sofa.
"Bolo bacha.." kalyan asks this time in the gentlest voice he could make. Madhavi too nudges noor to answer.
"Meee doodh ko sink me fekne gayi thi...." Noor was saying and kalyan's gaze darkened. He has never let any of his kids waste food or gave in to tantrums about food. Ishaan and ansh audibly gulped at that.
But noor wasn't looking at him so she continued speaking.
"Par mama ne pakad liya tha... aur warn karne upar chali gayi... par mujse aur nahi piya ja raha tho mene socha thodi aur chocolate powder dal du... isliye upar chadi thi, par waha latak gayi...." Noor says slowly along with all the extra info she didn't have to mention.
"Meri taraf dekho." Kalyan says in a sharp tone.
Noor shakes her head as she is dead scared of this tone of kalyan. She is his princess so rarely ever gets scolded or reprimanded and he takes this tone way rarely with her compared to the boys.
"Noor isme tumhari marzi nahi hai! Dekhne ko bola tho dekho!" Kalyan commands rather strictly.
She turns around and looks at his angry eyes.
