The CBF Series 2: 5 Years Later

Chapter 1

5 Years Later...

Shraddha's POV

"Ayesha! Ayesha! Ayesha you're going to get late for school!" I shout from downstairs.

"Ten more minutes!" She says grumpily.

I go upstairs.

"Hello! Mister! Wake up!" I say nudging Sidharth while he's asleep.

"What time is it?" He says.

"Time to wake up!" I say.

"It's too early!" He wraps his arms around me.

I tell you both father and daughter are the same! Now let me wake up my pride, my handsome son, Abhi.

"Abhi!" I say walking into his room. "Wakey wakey my baby." I pick my 3 year old son up.

"Good morning mummy." He says nestling his head on my shoulder.

"Come on let's try and wake up your lazy duffer sister and father again." I say and take him into Ayesha's room.

"Ayesha seriously you are going to be very late!" I say pulling the covers from her head.

"Mum please give more minutes." She groans pulling the covers over her head again.

"Darling you don't want to be late for the first day of school. And it's Abhi's first day of nursery. Come on wake up." I try and soothe her.

"Nooooooo!" She whines.

"See this is why you shouldn't go to sleep late before the first day of school." I say to her.

"Mum if you wake dad up I'll wake up." She says.

"Fine. Deal." I say to her.

"Siddhhuuuuu!" I shout walking into the room.

He puts the pillow over his head. I grab it off him.

"Shradhs please man five minutes. I know if you wake Ayesha up I'll wake up!" He says.

"Oh my. You two father and daughter are exactly the same. You know what I'm going to get Abhi ready. Wake up your clothes are ironed wear them and come down. If you two are late it is not my problem." I say and take Abhi to his room.

I give him a bath and then change him into his uniform. I style his hair and plant a kiss on his cheek.

"My baby is all ready for school." I say giving him a big hug.

"Shradddha! Where's my watch!!!" Sidharth shouts from our room.

"It's on the bedside cabinet!"

"Thanks! ... Shraddha! Where's my wallet?" He asks five minutes later. Seriously he cannot find anything without asking me!

"In the pocket of your blue jeans." I tell him.

"Oh! Okay!"

I take Abhi downstairs and make him some buttered toast.

"Okay baby I'm going to go check if your father and sister and see if they're ready. You eat your breakfast and if Jacqueline Masi comes just call me."

"Okay mummy." He says and starts eating.

"Are you guys ready? Abhi's already ready!"

"Okay Mom we get it! You and Abhi are perfect and me and Dad are duffers!" Ayesha says.

"Yeah Shraddha why do you and Abhi always have to act so prissy and perfect!" Sidharth says.

"Okay okay! Don't gang up on me you duo it's too much stress for a hardworking woman!" I say. "I love you both though yaar!" I pull them into a hug.
