The earliest sunbeams peeked through the curtains touching her serene face disturbing her peaceful slumber. She turned around in his arms to hide her face inbetween the curve of his neck, inhaling his strong scent. Moving her face upwards she rubbed her cheek softly against his, feeling the rasp of his whiskers. She opened her eyes to look at his beautiful features, no wonder there were still alot of girls who would go all crazy for him. But he was hers and only hers she smiled thinking. Not being able to resist herself, before slipping away her lips moved on to brush gently over his, leaving a faint smile on his face. Feeling her warmth against his lips he moved his arms around her waist pulling her closer into him. "Stay, I want to sleep a little bit longer." He murmured with his eyes still closed while his grip on her waist became tighter. Looking over his shoulder she checked on Mehar who was sound asleep next to them. "Sleep as long as you want to but I have to freshen up and go down stairs. There is lots of work to do." She whispered while combing her fingers through his hair. "No you are not going anywhere. There are lots of other people in this house who can arrange the breakfast. You don't need to be there all the time. Be with me..." He said looking up at her refusing to let go of her. She smiled encircling her arms around him, he was love.  "Okay fine I am not going anywhere." Her body relaxed against his while she sighed thinking there was no use of arguing with him. She kept stroking his head softly until she knew he was back to sleep once again. Kissing him on his forehead she slipped out of the bed, leaving both her sleeping beauties behind to get ready for another day full of excitement.

"Awara bhaiya, can you please help Nehal with setting up the table." She called out rushing out of the kitchen realizing she still had to wake up Mehar and Shaurya. While Mehak had been busy arranging the breakfast. The sleepy heads were already up. The father daughter duo brushed their teeth, Shaurya helped Mehar with taking a bath and with chosing the right dress but then he had to go through the most difficult part. Mehar's beautiful long hair, which had to be combed and needed a nice hairstyle. Honestly he wasn't really used to doing it as often as it was entirely Mehak's departement but today to spare Mehak some time he decided to take up her job. And he had succeeded quite well into getting his princess ready. The time froze as she stood outside the room witnessing the most adorable sight ever. Every time it felt like the first time seeing her sitting on his lap with him busy struggling to get her a straight ponytail. It always took her back to the time she saw him holding Mehar for the first time in his arms and look at them now. It was funny to see him undo her ponytail umpteen times and it was more amuzing to see the little angel trying to help her dad out in figuring out how to comb her hair the right way. She was growing up so fast. Knowing the fact that she was an impatient person just like her dad, her waiting so patiently for her superdad to get it right was one of the reasons she adored both of them so much. "How does it look?" Asked a nervous Shaurya, looking straight into the mirror trying to read her expressions. "It's not like the way mumma does it but it's nice, I will manage for today. I love you!" She said twisting her ponytail while kissing him on his cheek leaving a broad smile his face. Mehak couldn't hold back her tears as she lovingly looked at them and smiled at the same time realizing how their daughter was a Khanna for real, straight forward just like her father. She could never pretend if there is something she would say it on the face. "Mummaaa!" Mehar took a leap and jumped into Mehak's arms. "How do I look? Dad helped me getting ready." Mehar's excitement would always be on another level and that's something she got from her mother. "My bacha is the prettiest." Mehak pinched her cheek. "I am going to show it to dadi, finally he got it right." They both giggled putting their hands over their mouths. Mehar slipped out of her arms and ran outside to show everyone how she looked. "Do I need to tell you how awesome you are Mr Khanna." She said while walking up to him. "You don't need to tell me but I won't mind you showing me how awesome I am, Mrs Khanna." He said welcoming her in his arms with a grin. His voice husky and deep. "You are the best." She said rubbing her nose against his, knowing exactly what he wanted. "But for now you need to get ready, downstairs everyone is waiting for us." She said pushing him inside the bathroom while closing the door on his face. "Mehak, towel?!" She heard him shout her name from a distance. Shaking her head she walked up to the bed, taking his towel she knocked on the door. With a swift movement the door openend and the next moment she saw herself trapped between him and the door. "Shaurya?!" She cried out his name in protest. "I don't mind some help as I helped you with getting Mehar ready." He said raising his eyebrow. The air cracked with electricity the moment she looked into his dark eyes. There was fire, smouldering passion, the deep longing to feel her melt in his embrace. A desire that comes only once in a blue moon. A sigh escaped her soft lips while she closed her eyes feeling his eyes setting fire to her soul, his hands to her skins, and to her mind as she tried to refrain herself from giving in into her own feelings. She was drawn to him in many ways, intoxicated by his presence he imbibed her essence. His killer eyes ran through her soul, that devastating smile wanting her soul to shatter on his lips. Loving him was like a love that you never recover from. There was no denying in that she could never get enough of his love and craved for him the same way he did for her, but this was not the right time. "Don't you dare..." and her sentense was left incomplete with her being pulled inside the shower, the world faded away around them with him showering her with all the madness he had in his soul. Mean while everyone waited patiently for them to come join them for breakfast. "Where are Mehak and Shaurya?" Asked Karuna maa at the breakfast table. "Di has gone to wake up Mehar and Jiju, she might be busy with Mehar." Said Nehal as a matter of fact. "But Mehar is already outside with the kids." They heard maasi coming inside the dining area. "Wait I will look for them." Nehal left to look for the couple. "Di?! What happened to you?! Everyone has been waiting for you guys. Where is jiju?!" Nehal turned up at Mehak and Shaurya's room finding Mehak standing outside the bathroom with her clothes soaking wet. A confused Nehal looked up at her from head to toe trying to figure out what happened. "Nothing! the bucket of water slipped on me uhmm wait! I mean I slipped on a bucket of water, in the bathroom." She said quickly without realizing much what she just said, hoping for Shaurya to stay inside for some more time. "Bucket slipped on you or you slipped on the bucket ?" Said Nehal repeating Mehak's words. Mehak made a side note to kill Shaurya for putting her again and again in embarrassing situations. "Nehal I will join you in a bit you guys carry on naa. Shaurya is attending an important call. We will be there in a bit." She said hurriedly in order to get Nehal out of the room. "Important call in the bathroom huh?" Said a surprised Nehal as they heard Shaurya coming out of the bathroom dressed in his track suit. "What?!" He said while Mehak's face turned red in embarrassement and Nehal's face breaking into a huge smile getting a hint of what could have caused Mehak's slip in the bathroom. "Nothing I was just asking di about how did her clothes get wet, didn't you help her from falling?!" Nehal decided to pull their leg for a bit.  A confused Shaurya looked up at Mehak who glared back at him making him realize he won't be spared today by his wife. "Wait I will tell you why I didn't help her." He said twisting Nehal's ear. "JIJU! Alright I won't tell anyone about this." She giggled struggling to get her ear free from Shaurya's strong grip. Nehal ran out of the room with Mehak storming into the bathroom to get her clothes changed.

"Hachu!!!" She sneezed with everyone looking up at her. "Mehak, bache kya hua?" Said a concerned Karuna Maa. "Bua Ji, di slipped in the bathroom with a BIG bucket of water falling on her, or did you fall on the bucket?" Said Nehal trying to be serious while holding herself back from laughing making Shaurya choke on the slice of bread. Just when everyone had gathered around Mehak to ask what happened they heard a faint voice calling in the hall. Hearing the voice everyone looked up at Mehak to see her reaction. "Good morning!" They heard again. There was nothing in this world that could irritate Mehak more than this one voice, HER voice. The more it got closer, louder and clear the more she tried to control her anger. "Heyy! Good morning Jiya!" A very elated Shaurya stood up to greet the owner of the voice giving her a side hug leaving a fuming Mehak behind.

Precap- For a second he forgot to breath looking at how divine she looked, heavenly beautiful drapped in a royal blue colored saree with a golden backless blouse to match, long earrings dangling against her high cheek bones, curled up long hair waving around her shoulder. She stood with her back infront of the mirror trying hard to reach up to tie the dori of her blouse but all in vain. He silently went up to stand behind her taking the dori from her hands. A soft sigh escaped her feeling the warmth of his fingers roam on her bare skin. Still annoyed at him she tried hard to get a control on her emotions.
