Nakul laughed while shaking his head as the two babies giggled loudly. Raghav too chuckled at seeing Pihu who couldn't stop clicking the photos.

"Once more," she whispered for Nakul as he again brushed his shaky head in Nihaar's little belly, making him squeal. Raghav watched as Riaan too laughed along his friend and squealed when Nakul did the same with his stomach.

"Okay, guys. That's enough. I bought something to eat." Bringing the bowls full of Manchurian on the table, Meera smiled when Pihu started helping her in serving.

Nakul carried both of the kids in his muscular arms and brought them to the dining table, settling both of them on the baby chairs. "You know, I bought another one last month while thinking about Riu." He settled both of them one by one and Raghav sat beside Riaan's chair.

Pihu chuckled while passing the bowl to her husband. "Of course and we will be buying one too. Because next time, you are coming to our home. You both busy beings always delay coming to us."

Meera smiled cheekily. "Actually, Pihu. Our boss never let us be free from work. If you want us to come, first you will have to make him lessen our burden."

Pihu blushed while Nakul wiggled his eyebrows at Raghav who was smirking. "Mhmm, so that my company gets dumped to the ground? No way I am letting you guys rest for even a minute this week. Arora Enterprises is looking for it's new branch's location. I am positive he is going to approach us, looking for the interiors."

Nakul rolled his eyes while Meera shook her head. "See."

Pihu frowned and stared at her husband with stern eyes. "Seriously, you can't just do that. I am not taking another leave and handling both of these little chatter machines roaming around the home, spreading tons of toys."

Raghav shrugged his shoulders while looking at the Kids. "But you can't refuse them. So, there will be lots of work for us and for you."

Pihu sighed heavily while taking a spoon full of rice. Nakul laughed at their exchange while taking sip of the water.

"Daddy," whimpered Riaan while forwarding his arms.

Meera looked at him in confusion and asked Pihu, "What happened?"

Pihu blinked slowly for her. "His tantrums have began. He is bored sitting on your chair and now, he is also thinking that his father is eating something nicer than his food. Look, how he is asking to sit on his lap."

All of them watched as Raghav pouted and murmured sweet things for Riaan who was whimpering and it stopped immediately when he finally reached him. Picking him up from the chair, Raghav put him on his lap and shared the rice from his plate with him.

"See," whispered Pihu while Meera nodded in amazement.

Finally, Riaan was relaxed and had started eating calmly when all of a sudden Nihaar too started crying while forwarding his arms towards his father, his lips curling outwards  in a sob at feeling left out, making every one chuckle.

Nakul laughed and got up to take Nihaar. Meera couldn't help but excitedly click a photo in adoration. Meanwhile Raghav's phone rang catching Pihu's attention who was admiring the photo.

Her lips parted when Raghav's eyes narrowed at the phone screen. She watched as he muttered, "Excuse me," and got out off the room, taking Riaan with him.

Nakul was only asking Pihu about where he was when Raghav entered into the room with wide eyes and shock was written all over his face. He handed Riaan to Pihu who had already guessed that something bad had happened and it made her gulp in uncertainty.
