45. Advika's birthday

Lucas pov

Tomorrow is Advika’s big day. Her 4th birthday—well, technically her first birthday with us. Akshu and I have been preparing for this for a week now, and we want it to be perfect.

We settled on a dreamy "Enchanted Fairy Garden" theme, and honestly, the thought of seeing her little face light up with joy makes all the effort worth it.

As I stood by the front door, checking my watch, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. Rudransh, Shivanya, Ruchi, Arjun, and Shivansh were all flying in today. Mom and dad were already here, last night. Currently, busy playing with their granddaughter. I was about to head out to the airport to pick them up.

Akshu was at home, probably running through her mental checklist—making sure the fairy wings for the kids were in place, the pastel-colored balloons were ready, and that the venue we had booked in the backyard of our house was being decorated with twinkling lights and flower garlands.

The florists were already working their magic, turning the entire place into a mini fairy tale with soft, lush greens and delicate pinks, purples, and whites everywhere.

I couldn’t wait for Advika to see the setup. We had a fairy dress ready for her, and I knew she’d adore it. After all, the theme was everything she loved—fairies, flowers, and a dash of magic. We even had a Rapunzel-themed cake as a surprise for later.

"I’ll be back soon, love!" I called out to Akshu before heading out the door.

"Take care." she shouted back, probably still lost in her party planning mode.

I smiled to myself. Tomorrow was going to be a day our little princess would never forget.

Hopefully, we will be able to conceal all the decorations from advika until tomorrow.

I reached the airport and waited for them. Soon, they walked through the exits. My bodyguards are rushing to carry their bags and settle it in the cars. We had bought 2 cars with us.

"How was the journey?" I asked them.

"Tiring." Ruchi mummbled.

"It's okay, the guest rooms are ready. You all can rest."

"Luka unka." I smiled hearing shivansh sleepily look at me. He forwarded his hand towards me and i took him in my arms.

"Awwh, sweetiepie." I kissed his cheeks.

Soon, we started our journey back to my mansion. Rudransh and shivanya were with me in my car, shivansh settled into rudra's lap.

The next day

It was not hard to hide the backyard decoration from her since she was busy playing with shivansh, they both had bonded well since their favourite cartoon is Doraemon. Shivansh unknowingly kept her occupied, so it was even an easier task for us.

I entered advika's room along with akshita. Advika was snuggled into her bunny plushie, her blanket draped over her. I slowly walked up to her bed and sat down near her head. Akshita followed my suite.

I leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. I felt her stir due to my touch.

"Hey, sunshine. Wakey! Wakey!" I slowly tried to wake her up.

"Lulu bear, snuggly." She mumbled, i giggled as she placed her head in my lap and nuzzled her face into my stomach.

"Wakey, wakey, jaan." I tried again.

"Baby, wake up. Shivu is waiting for you."

"My little brother." She mumbled and sat on the bed lazily. I nodded my head.
