"Bonus Chapter 1"

"Unhone aake meri adhuri zindagi ko,
Apni mehek se pura kiya hai,
Har lamha jo tha sirf tanha sa kabhi,
Usse apne pyaar se roshan kiya hai."

When Rudravika and Ruhaansh were three years old,

In the kitchen, Ruhanika was gently stirring a pot of soup for Rudraksh while keeping an eye on the milk warming for Ruhaansh. Beside her, little Rudravika sat perched on the kitchen slab, happily playing with a peeled carrot, treating it like a toy more than food. Her giggles filled the air as she tapped it on the counter, and Ruhanika glanced at her with a soft smile, her heart full watching her little one so content in the simple moment.

Rudravika: "Mumma, papa aul vaii ko kya hua???"
(Mumma, what happened to Papa and Bhai?)

Ruhanika: "Papa aur Ruhh ko thoda ka bhukhaar ho gaya hai Viku, isiliye mumma soup bana rahi hai, vo dono piyenge toh phir healthy ho jayenge"
(Papa and Ruhh have a little fever, Viku, so Mumma is making soup. Once they drink it, they'll get better.)

Rudravika: "Mumma shooup??"

Ruhanika: "Shooup nahi Bachcha, soup, aapke papa ke liye soup aur Ruhh ke liye Milkyyy milkkyyy"
(Not shooup, sweetheart, soup. Soup for Papa and milkyyy for Ruhh.)

Rudravika: "Mumma ka Milkyyy???"
(Mumma's milkyyy?)

Rudravika grinned brightly and extended her tiny hands toward Ruhanika, asking for her attention in the most adorable way. Ruhanika couldn't help but giggle at her daughter's cuteness. She gently helped Rudravika to stand on the kitchen slab, then cupped her little face in her hands, showering her with affection as their eyes met in a sweet, heart-melting moment.

Ruhanika: "Nahi Viku, ab Viku aur Ruhh big babies hai na toh ab no Mumma ka milky okay??"
(No, Viku. Now Viku and Ruhh are big babies, so no more Mumma's milky, okay?)

Rudravika: "oteyy Mumma"
(Okay Mumma.)

Ruhanika: "Aww, humara bachcha"
(Aww, my baby.)

Ruhanika leaned in and placed a sweet kiss on Rudravika's chubby cheek. In response, the little one giggled and reached up to kiss her mother's cheek in return. Their shared laughter echoed softly, filling the room with pure, heartwarming joy.

Ruhanika: "Achcha Viku bachcha, chalo ab na hum aur aap papa ko soup aur Ruhh ko milky dete hai"
(Okay Viku, baby, now let's go give Papa his soup and Ruhh his milky.)

Rudravika: "Mumma hum aul aap shooup aul milky otaa aiii"
(Mumma, it's, we and you and soup and milky!)

Ruhanika chuckled lovingly and reached out to gently squeeze Rudravika's soft, chubby cheeks. The little girl giggled in delight, her eyes sparkling with happiness as she cuddled closer to her mother.

Ruhanika: "Achcha Viku madam aap hi sahi hai, chaliye ab chale??"
(Alright, Miss Viku, you're always right! Let's go now, shall we?)

Rudravika: "Talooooooo"
(Let's goooooo!)

Ruhanika chuckled softly, lifted Rudravika into her arms, and gently placed her down on the floor. She then carefully arranged the warm soup and a glass of milk on a tray. As she started walking toward the living room, Rudravika took off on her own, running ahead with joyful giggles echoing through the hallway, her little footsteps full of excitement.

Ruhanika: "Bachcha gir jayengi aap Viku, araam se chaliye aaiye mumma ke sath chaliye"
(Baby, you'll fall, walk slowly. Come along with Mumma.)
