After 3 months, Mumbai
A man, and boy were sleeping or rather say pretending to sleep.
"Abhimanyu, Shaurya wake up soon." A lady entered the room shouting their names.
"Again your Aunt came to disturb our sleep." Abhimanyu murmured, Shaurya yawned and peeked from comfort.
"She's busy setting things, let's sleep for sometime." Shaurya whispered, in response to this Abhimanyu smiled and nodded in yes.
"See you both, if you'll not open your eyes in 2 minutes then I'll make you bathe here only and after that you both know. Only you have to clean the bed." Before Saira could complete, both shouted and in a fraction of seconds they were on the floor.
"We are awake only." Both said together, and smiled sheepishly.
"Abhimanyu I could understand he's a child but you." Saira said, and started folding blankets
"Yes Aunt, he said to sleep for 5 more minutes." Shaurya said, winking at Abhimanyu, his mouth became wide.
"Saira, he's lying, he himself said to sleep for a few minutes." Abhimanyu said, narrowing his eyes.
"I know you both, so don't need to make up stories, and Shaurya why you always come here early in the morning to sleep." Saira asked, holding Shaurya's ear.
"Actually Aunt." He tried to say
(Saira and Abhimanyu live in a flat, there are 3 rooms and a hall. One for Saira and Abhimanyu, Shaurya and Muskaan respectively.)
"Aunt, he must be afraid." Muskaan said entering the room, Shaurya glared at her.
"Don't you know when two intelligent people talking then fool people should not interrupt." Shaurya said
"You called me a fool? You are a fool." Muskaan
"You are a fool, you still do not know how to comb your hair but I know." Shaurya proudly said, and started ruffling his hair.
"You idiot, you still don't know how to tie lace." Muskaan retorted back
"Abhimanyu you see them, I need to prepare theirs breakfast." Saira said glaring at them, but it did not affect Muskaan, and Shaurya.
Abhimanyu who was enjoying the fight, stood straight and became tense listening to this.
"See Saira, you're forgetting today is my chance in the kitchen. I am going there. you see your kids." Abhimanyu said, running from there.
"But today's Monday means my chance." Saira muttered
"He again made you fool." Shaurya said giggling
"Just due to you both, Muskaan you go and set your bag. I'll come in some minutes then comb your hair and you go, and take a bath or as usual late for school." Saira said
"No more arguments now, already I have a headache due to you all." Saira said seeing Muskaan and Shaurya trying to say something.
They silently listened to it, and went from there.
After some time, like everyday Abhimanyu dropped them in school. He went to his office, and Saira was at home only as she decided for one year she will give her all time to her family and after that she'll resume her job.
In night,
Saira was sitting in a room, and reading some novel meanwhile Abhimanyu was helping both children with homework and as usual more than children he was complaining.
"Who gives so much work?" Abhimanyu annoyingly said
"Uncle it's not that much." Muskaan said, showing him only two pages of work.
"No friend you're right, see this is much work, you know my hand starts paining after doing this." Shaurya said, showing him his hand.
"I will complain in school, you both don't need to do so much work." Abhimanyu said, closing their books.
"But Aunt." Muskaan tried to say, but Abhimanyu glared at her.
"Wow, so good, let's go for dinner. I saw Aunt prepare so many yummy dishes." Shaurya dreamily said, and ran from there but he stopped seeing Saira angrily standing there.
"Abhimanyu get out from here, and check your files or else in the morning you'll run on a leg shouting files." Saira angrily said
"But Saira, why should I go?" Abhimanyu confusingly asked
"If you'll not go here then I am afraid that they'll be spoiled, especially this boy." Saira said, glaring at both Abhimanyu and Shaurya whereas Muskaan was playing in Abhimanyu's mobile.
"Huhh I am going." Abhimanyu said snatching Mobile from Muskaan.
"Give it or your Aunt will say I am spoiling you as well." Abhimanyu said
"But my game." Muskaan sadly said
"Doll first complete work then I'll give my mobile." Saira said, Muskaan happily nodded in yes, and showed his tongue to Abhimanyu. He too showed her tongue and went from there.
Later, Saira started to help them with homework while Muskaan was doing her work with interest but Shaurya was not at all interested.
"Huhh don't know from where she always comes." Shaurya muttered
"Shaurya stop muttering, and complete your homework. You also have to study for exams, or else like every time your teacher will complain to me." Saira said, Muskaan giggled and he made an angry face.
"Huhh you don't laugh, this time I'll beat you in the exam." Shaurya said
"Will see." Muskaan replied, concentrating back on her books.
After some time,
"Aunt I completed, can I go to the hall now?" Muskaan said
"Okay, you go but don't touch anything." Saira said, she nodded in yes and ran from there.
"Aunt, can I go too? My eyes are becoming heavy. even hands are paining and stomach too." Shaurya said, holding his stomach.
"Leg? And what about back? Just complete your homework or else I'll not give you your Chocolates after dinner." Saira said, glaring at him.
"Huhh." Shaurya muttered
Later,
After dinner, Saira and Abhimanyu make them sleep in their respective rooms and they head towards their room, she is about to lay on the couch but pulled by him. she fell on him and looked in his eyes.
"We are married, Saira but." He tried to say something.
(3 months before leaving Kolkata, they married in presence of a few friends and some colleagues.)
"I know, actually I am a tired Abhimanyu." She tried to escape from his grip.
"Not today, you need to tell me what's stopping you coming close to me." Abhimanyu asked, looking into her eyes.
"Nothing like that." She said avoiding eye contact.
"Saira you can share anything with me. I'll not judge you on the basis of that." he said, making her look into his eyes.
"Please princess share your problems with me." He again said.
She nodded in yes, and laid beside him.
"Actually Abhimanyu I am afraid if we start our relationship then I will not be able to give time to children so I thought about this."She said, keeping her head on her chest.
"You are stupid princess, I can understand your fear but I know my Saira will balance everything and her Abhimanyu will help in this." He said planting a feathery kiss over her scalp.
"But I heard in our marriage few guests were saying this, and I don't want our children to feel we are only busy in our lives and neglecting them after marriage." She said, making a pout, he shook his head and kissed her pout.
"They are jealous of seeing us, and you know our children are smart." He said giggling, she did not say anything just kept laying there.
"If you still need time then okay." He said seeing her not saying anything.
"Sorry for foolishness." Saying this she kissed his nose tip.
He wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her forehead.
"Sleep." He said
"You are angry?" She asked, leaning towards him.
