Pari was happy to celebrate her birthday with both mother & father. She blew the candles & cut the cake. She fed both of her parents. Maan & Geet too fed their little daughter. Soon Pari & Maan started playing with icing. They kept chasing each other. That reminded Geet of their first encounter, how Maan used to chase her playfully with icing. A smile crept in her face after re calling those beautiful memories.
Suddenly she felt someone rubbing her face with someone. It didn't take a second to realize that it was icing. Little Pari was giving an icing facial for her mommy. It gave Geet a tickling sensation.
'Aww Pari baby stop it!'
'No way Geet ma'am! Oops I mean mommy!' 'It's my birthday & let's have fun!' Pari was giggling. Maan was laughing hard after seeing Geet's face.
'Hump! you think it's funny?' Geet made a face. Maan couldn't control his laugh. He put the front camera of his mobile & showed to Geet. Geet too laughed out loud after seeing herself. Suddenly she realized that Maan & Pari were giggling too. She felt embarrassed & faked anger. Maan & Pari exchanged a glance & made a high five.
'Pari!! you have become very naughty' Geet spoke strictly, in a fake way.
'Of course! Did you forget she is Maan Singh Khurana's daughter?' Maan winked.
'Hmm yeah! Pari has inherited all those mischievous qualities from you!' Geet chuckled.
Maan was talking to Geet seated near her in the sofa. Mischievous little Pari was about to carry out her plan in giving her father a nice icing treatment in return. Geet noticed it & the mother & daughter exchanged a glance. Maan didn't see Pari who has climbed up to the sofa, behind him. In a swift, Pari started applying icing all over her father's face.
'Pari no!' 'Stop it baby!' Maan was struggling to get over it. Soon Geet's old mischievous qualities popped up. She too joined in helping her daughter to attack her soul mate with icing. Maan was under attack by the two most important female souls in his life. Geet & Pari were giggling. Maan literally looked like a kid who has played in mud. The chocolate icing looked like sludge all over his face.
With all the attempts of stopping his naughty girls he could surrender them by wrapping his strong, wide arms around them. He almost hugged them tightly. Maan & Geet shared an intense eye lock. They were lost in each other. Both of their hearts were filled with happiness after a painful past. They were fortunate to come across each other again after 6 long years. Pari snapped her fingers & it almost brought her parents back to reality. Maan & Geet shared an awkward smile. Pari was giggling.
'Pari you naughty girl!' Maan patted her. Geet smiled. They had a wonderful time together as a family. Meanwhile Geet's friend was worried about her because she hasn't returned home yet as it was late night. Geet informed that she will come soon.
'Mommy! it's our home! why can't you stay here?' Little Pari inquired.
'Umm sweetheart, I haven't inform about my friend yet that I found my family. She is worried for me. I've been at her place ever since I came to Melbourne. So I have to go there now.' Geet tried to explain. But Pari seemed to be a little bit upset. Rishabh tried to console her.
'Baby! Mommy will come to stay with us soon. Okay?'
'But when?'
Geet leaned down her & cupped her face. 'Soon Pari! Mommy will come to you & daddy soon.' She placed a gentle kiss on her daughter's tiny forehead.
'Pinky promise?'
'Yes! pinky promise.' Geet promised her daughter.
Geet freshened up. Thankfully her dress wasn't ruined but icing were everywhere on her face. She helped Pari to clean up. Then Pari took her mother to show her room. Pari showed the wind chime which she'd been talking to throughout the years. Geet felt nostalgic after seeing it. She recalled the past memories of their 1st anniversary. Her eyes were moisturized with happy tears. Then Pari showed a photo frame of Pari & Maan together taken on Pari's 5th birthday. Geet rubbed it gently. They were her world. Maan came to the room after freshening up. He noticed Geet's expressions.
