"Harsh, Arjun, what are you doing still awake? Aren't you sleepy? And what are you both looking at much keenly?"
Anjana walked in the room to see the two men sat in their bed, smiling looking at a phone. As she took a seat on the other side of her younger son, she realized the reason behind their smile.
"Mom, look at your granddaughter enjoying her family holidays.", they were sent the Mussoorie trip pictures as asked —ordered— by the young man, as he knew how much his parents were missing their little baby. He just wanted to make his old people feel better, until they were back.
"Isn't she looking so beautiful? That smile... so priceless.", the father said looking at their little girl's happy face as they were all standing by a waterfall. In another picture she was made to forward her hand slowly so as to touch it, and in the next one she had her eyes closed as Noor sprinkled a few drops on her face. The cold water wasn't much appreciated anymore and she hugged her mother not willing to play anymore. The elder couple laughed at her reactions.
"Look at that sad face though. Such a drama queen!", Arjun said staring at her pouting looking at her mother. "Like father, like daughter.", Harsh teased his son and both men shared a high five.
"You both will never stop making fun of my cheeku right?", Anjana glared at the both and the two shared a look before looking back at the woman. "Like mother, like son."
She pulled Arjun's ear as he closed his eyes in pain. "What did you say?"
"You... you're the best mother anyone could have. I am sorry... mom please... ouchhhh it hurts!", he hissed in pain.
She took her hand away from his ear and as he rubbed it, he moved off the bed. "But I'm sorry to speak truth mom, you're a drama queen mother.", and he ran out of their room not before kissing her cheek, and closed the door laughing hearing his mother's shout.
The father chuckled at the two of them when she turned to look at him. "And you're laughing at me? It means that you've been thinking the same all these years."
"It might sound rude, but that's the truth.", hearing him say so, she hit him with his pillow and walked in the bathroom to change her clothes, while he looked at the pictures, quite seriously. His eyes in the background as something was disturbing him.

"Can't believe one week has gone by this fast. I wish you guys could stay longer.", Noor helped her sister with the packing.
"Awww meri Kohinoor! Don't be sad. We will soon be all together again, and have lots of fun. But for now, duty is calling us all. And you as well. Your semester break is soon to end. You need to focus back, and grab the graduation successfully.", Zoya cupped her sister's cheeks and hugged her rubbing her back.
"I will miss you appi.", she tightened her grip around her sister as her muffled talks made the elder sister chuckle. "I will miss you too Noor. Be a good girl with ammi and abbu. We will be back soon."
Meanwhile Aditya, who was done giving a bath to his little one, walked out of the bathroom with the toddler wrapped in the cotton towel. Feeling the colder weather in the room, he rushed to change her into a dark blue onesie before she was let to play with her toys on the mat, and he walked to the bed.
