Author POV

The bright sunshine broke the darkness of the beautiful house. The rays hit the face of Karan who waking him up from his sleep. He quickly groaned in sleep and got up from the bed. He closed his eyes and prayed to God for giving him this beautiful life he is leading from the past 3 days. Today was a sunday and he had come to know that today Teju was staying at home and was spending some time with Kiara, In these 3 days he knew she was being tired as he had observed her tired face and her black circles under her eye. He so wanted force her to take rest but he had lost the right.

In 3 days he had interacted with her less of the time with her and everytime he did that his heart ached as it was way more than formal but on the other hand he was having a lot of fun with his daughter. His laugh had become more genuine.He would spend his day in the morning and by the night he would work for his company. He would quickly review all the projects and he would connect with his Ishaan on anything he found wrong. Amidst all of this he had maintained his promise. He had not drawn even one rupee from his other account. Infact a day back when his slipper broke by getting stuck he made sure to sew it by himself than using anything else

. He quickly freshened up and walked down to the kitchen cooking breakfast, He had decided to do a proper north indian breakfast as he knew his wife loved it. After a lot of thinking he settled on aloo paratha with homemade makan, aachar, raitha, papad and of course his wife's favorite gulab jamun.

He quickly made the breakfast and went up to wake up his princess, He reached the room to find the room empty, he panicked searching for her but saw the door of Teju's room a bit open, He slowly opened the door to find Kiara and Teju sleeping snuggling into each other. He smiled at them sleeping innocently.

"Kitna peacefully so raha hai, Agar ut gaya toh dono itna masti karta hai" Karan said softly removing their nazar.

He slightly knocked on the door and called Teju's name a little making her awake a bit. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

"Ma'am the breakfast is ready I came to wake up kiara but she is sleeping here" Karan said

"Don't worry I will bring her down and you also get ready as we are going to the park and mela today" Tejasswi said and Karan nodded his head with a smile.

He quickly wore a black Shirt with a beige pant and wore the one and only shoe he had carried. He wore a normal watch and set his hair making him look handsome even in a normal attire.He quickly looked at the mirror and went down to see no one was there. He quickly arranged everything for the breakfast and quickly made packed some homemade snacks he had prepared.

He had prepared some homemade cookies, chocolate and other snacks for Kiara as he didn't want her to eat from outside. He was packing all of these when he heard a voice and he turned to see his princess standing there.

"Herooo, good morning" She said running towards him and hugging him

"Good morning princess' He said with a smile kissing her cheeks.He saw Teju standing there at a distance,

"Good moring ma'am" He wished her

"Morning" Teju replied with a stoic face.

"Come on let's have breakfast" Karan said making Kiara sit on the chair and serving them both breakfast.

Teju sat there eating breakfast and immediately it reminded her of the time when she used to have breakfast with Meera, Dev and all when the dinning table was was filled with so much laughter and talks. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts and focused on eating the breakfast as she knew the deeper it gets the uglier the pain in her heart deepens.

"Baby slow down" Teju said seeing her daughter run in a play ground.

Teju, Karan and Kiara had come to a picnic spot to spend some time together. Kiara was running around the place feeling the greenery. She had taken her father's and grandfather's gene in this as both of them loved nature, especially Karan. It always brought peace in him whenever he was in the nature.

Karan and Teju quickly set up the picnic mat and Teju sat there reading a book where on the other hand Karan was playing with Kiara running around the whole place. Their giggles was heard and Teju had not heard a sweeter sound than that. She looked up to see Karan and Kiara enjoying their time together. She quickly captured their photo in which Karan was holding Kiara in his arms and Kiara was giggling. The pic was just so mesmerizing for Teju. She saved that photo to her favorites which mostly had her and Kiara's pic.

After a hour of playing both of them sat on the mat and Teju passed them a bottle. When passing the bottle to karan her hands rubbed against him which passed down shivers down her spine. She smiled at him and Karan was the happiest as he had seen her smile after a long time.

***************

"Hero come on" Kiara said getting excited. They were currently in a mela were Karan was trying to win her a soft toy. They had tired all the rides together and had enjoyed their time throughout the day

Karan focused his eyes and pulled the trigger of the gun shooting at the perfect aim making Kiara win a big teddy bear.

"Hero you are the best" Kiara said jumping around while Karan just ruffled her hair and smiled at the happiness he could give his daughter. He quickly captured a photo of her jumping around in excitement

Kiara carried the huge teddy bear all around the mela cutely making both her parents chuckle at her.

"Bacha let's go there is too much crowd" Teju said seeing a lot of crowd getting to the place. Karan quickly made Kiara sit on his shoulder and protected Teju like a bodyguard navigating both of them through the crowd. Teju smiled a bit seeing him doing that.

Everyone settled In the car< Kiara was fast asleep while Teju was in the passenger seat and Karan was driving.

"We are going to Mumbai for a function and even you are coming.." Teju announced.

I might have spent only a few hours but the happiness I got was more than of my last four hours not to forget the car ride as even in that silence there was a peace
