It's been 4 months since her little prince arrived and Avani was happier than ever...perhaps not the happiest.




A month ago she started working again.





At first, she was timid about how Ayush will stay in place and how he would tolerate the temperature of a kitchen.




Yet, left with no other option, she tied him to her chest with a red chunni and used to get downstairs.





Due to that , she earned the name of "JHANSI LAKSHMI"




But Avani would sadly say that, "A powerless and helpless Jhansi."




As every other day, she fed him while he used to hold her kurti and Avani used to repeat in head that she has to never leave him unattended.




After that she held him in her arms and looked at his face, his lips were far away and his mouth turned white because of the milk.




The milk spread across his crimson cheeks and he was pressing his tongue to his gums and screamed "Ayi.iiii.iiiii"



Avani widened her eyes, "Oyyyy!!! that's enough for now, the milk in your personal account have finished for now. "



She playfully warned him while she made weird faces.




Seeing his mother being more bubbly and excited, Ayu giggled and made a fist and kept it in his mouth.




Avani who was earlier enjoying his drama, she stopped and gently pulled his first from his mouth and shoke her head while mouthing NOOO



As expected, Ayush forgot about it immediately and then he tried to roll on his back.



"Arey....Ayu kannayya....stop it....you can do all these gymnastics once we are home after work, got it?"



She picked him up in her arms and rubbed her nose to his.


She was able to feel nauseous smell of milk, if it wasn't her son, she would've probably vomited.



Avani lowered her head, "let's go to work, Ayu."



For her, it was no less than an offense, imagine getting your one and only child to your workplace which isn't safe and sound for a new-born, people often think that she's heartless, but they are unaware of the battle she fights to get shelter and a morsel of food.




Avani went down and few of the colleagues of her were gazing intensely at her.



They started whispering that how bad mother Avani is.




She sat down and grabbed a capsicum from the vegetables basket and she bent down, not before looking if her son is safe or not, he was holding his head up without any support and looked into his mother's eyes.




His eyes held pure innocence, Avani gave him a promising smile and whispered sorry to her son.




Ayush who understand none, was making sounds

"Muh-muhhh daaaa lah"


Avani chuckled as he was trying hard to grab his mother's attention.


Avani hummed and was repeating the same sounds he made.


Ayush's eyes gleamed as he saw his mother imitating him.

He felt a sense of pride .

He then rapidly gibberish which couldn't be deciphered even by the Archaeologists.


She was just laughing frequently and made him feel that he's jokes are worth of everything in the world.



But deep down, the sounds of utensils being washed, Ayu's blabbering and the work she's assigned to do never appear pleasing as it turns her head into chaos.



Her displeasure was visible in her face as she narrowed her eyes and she didn't want Ayush to understand her feelings she smiled widely.



After the work , Ayu was constantly complaining while he fisted his hands and was attacking her chest and tried to distance himself.



Avani was fully drenched in sweat , she took him in her arms and led towards her room.




He was throwing tantrums and she placed him on the bed , obviously with the Z+ pillow security.




She ran to the washroom, washed her whole body with a soap and water and changed into new clothes.



The moment she stepped out of the washroom, her not-so-innocent son who sensed his mother's presence, smiled and forwarded his hands towards his mother and wanted to get into her arms.



"Eyy!! Donga!!! Amma snanam chesi freshuu ga undali kada? Appude amma gurtu ostadi ayyagariki? Kada Ayu kanna?"



(Ehh!! You theif! You remember your mother when she's fresh after a bath, only then sir (Ayu) will remember amma. Isn't it Ayu kanha?)


He rolled over his back and then Avani picked him .



"Ah-goo...My little hero....my cutuu....prince.....my...little...lifeeee."


Avani said while tension left her body and Ayu's presence calmed her and reminded that she deserves to be gentle to herself.
