SS- Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas... Tumhe Rehna Hai!! (Completed)

Pal pal Dil Ke Paas.. Tumhe Rehna Hai!!

Apoorv was busy reciting almost all poems he had been taught in his preschool to his Bade Papa, Arnav was encouraging him nodding his head and appreciating their Little Boy. Mean while Muskan was busy sucking her thumb and giggling listening to her father and cousin and making cute sound as if talking to herself. Arnav smiled at kids, finally car came to screech. Arnav got down from car and went to Muskan's side to take her out, Apoorv by then was standing beside with his backpack hanging on one side shoulder. Taking out Muskan, Arnav turned Apoorv and helped him with his backpack.

"Bade Papa, you have to come to pick me??"

"I'll try.. I.."

"You have to.. Unless I will not go home."

Arnav rolled his eyes at him.

"Fine, if you want to stay here, I'll ask your teacher to make some arrangements for you here. I don't think you will miss your Mumma that much and you will be fine sleeping without your Mumma at night, will not you??"

Apoorv made face after listening to him, off course he was not serious when he gave his condition then why did Bade Papa take that seriously?? His face fell and he looked down. Arnav hide his smile. Apoorv was about to run away licking his Cadbury bar which he had stolen from fridge under his mother's nose in morning when she was busy making him breakfast, he was caught by Arnav.

"I'm not talking to you."

"I can see that.."

Arnav pulled out his handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped melted chocolate traces from his lower lip, Apoorv did not move away and let his Bade Papa to give him a neat look. After done with that, Arnav stood up. Apoorv was about to run away again but stopped in middle and came back to Arnav.

"Come here.."

"Why??"

"Because I can't reach you Bade Papa, that's why."

Exhaling deeply Arnav bent to his level, Apoorv smacked a big kiss on his little sister's cheek. Muskan laughed in his father's arms and started wiggling to indicate Arnav to leave her on ground. But he did not, because they were standing by the road side and it was unhygienic for Muskan to crawl there for sure. He eyed Muskan.

"NO!!"

"Eww..uu"

"Still NO!!"

Pouting her pinkish lips Muskan buried her face in his neck trying to cajole him to let him do what she wants, at this young age also he knew how to persuade her father to do something as per her. Though Arnav became soften seeing her gesture, still he held himself back. Apoorv left as bell rang for his morning prayer and Arnav went back to his car.

"I'm telling you Muskan, you are becoming like your mother day-by-day!!"

"Aaarrrpp.."

"What?? Don't give me that look you little devil.."

Muskan's eyes were first piercing when Arnav brought her mother's name, though she could not understand much but the way Arnav eyed her and restricted her not letting her go down, she did not like that simply and showed her reaction through her cute, big eyes!! She did try to change his mood nuzzling her face on his neck still that was an unfruitful attempt. Her face fell, she could not argue with her father more and tried to do something to show her displeasure..Muskan tried to scratch Arnav's face with her finger nails, making him whine!! Arnav could not believe his angry daughter and now realized why always Khushi used to say Muskan was just like him, anger on tip of that cute little nose of hers. And that thought made him smile, pulling her face he kissed her head!! What a divine feeling to hold his daughter in his arms, feeling her warmth and recognition as Her Dad in her eyes though she still had not called him Papa like sometimes she called her mother "Maa..Maa!!" .
