Responsibility and Love

Gauri: Om when is bhabhi coming back from hospital to meet us?

Om: she is coming at 6 by then your brother will be gone. 

Gauri: great! If my brother and your sister see each other, then a volcano will erupt!

Om: if only they could get along.

Gauri: if only! Sadly they don't.

Om was about to speak when a baby started crying.

Gauri: go check on your princess Zaira. 

Om: excuse me, you made my Mishti your princess.

Gauri: you pamper them too much! If I go into Mishti's room, it is full of toys and guess where does toys come from?

Om: Gauri....

He was about to complete his sentence when Mishti came.

Mishti: oho, daddy go check on Zaira! She cry soooo much! 

Om: yes Mishti mata.

He ruffled her hair lovingly and went to his princess Zaira. Om and Gauri had two little girls, one was Mishti the six year old princess of Gauri and the other was Zaira the 5 month princess of Om. Even though Mishti was Gauri's princess, Om still took every opportunity to pamper her and Zaira. It was cute....Gauri did find the pampering cute but she did roll her eyes then and now because there were just too many toys being brought in the mansion. 

The doorbell rang and she smiled. She ran up to the door and hugged her brother, Shivay Singh Oberoi!

Gauri: finally you are here bhaiya, where's my gift?

Shivay: Gauri, no 'how are you?' or 'do you want anything to drink?' instead you ask for your gift.

Gauri: dramatic much. 

Shivay rolled his blue yes and kissed Gauri's forehead. He broke the hug and said: here is your gift....

He dived in his pocket and brought out a small pink box.

Gauri: a new charm for my bracelet?

Shivay nodded, smiling. 

Gauri: oh you are a sweetheart, you didn't have to bhaiya, you know I always joke when I talk about gifts.

Shivay: I know but I love pampering my sister.

Mishti: and me?

Shivay: Mishti!

Mishti ran up to Shivay and hugged him tight. Shivay hugged her back.

Shivay: I love to pamper you too.

Gauri: but you will not because you and Om have turned her room into toyland! 

Mishti stuck her tongue at Gauri and Gauri stuck her tongue back. Shivay just laughed as he entered the house. 

Gauri closed the door and went to make Shivay's favourite drink....black expresso. Mishti brought Shivay to the sofa and sat on his lap. She started to blabber away about her school, her toys and Zaira. 

Om came down with Zaira in her hands. 

Om: hey Shivay.

Shivay: hey Om, how are you?

Om: fine, you?

Shivay: I am also fine. 

Om: has Mishti taken a breath before speaking again?

Shivay shook his hand laughing. Mishti rolled her eyes, smiling cutely. Zaira gave a cute laugh. 

Shivay: Om, is your devil sister here?
