86. ~ The First KISS

"BatMan!!" Kshitij chirped and ran towards him and hopped on his back as Krish's one arm wrapped around his small frame securely

"I count." He shows his teeth as he hi-fi with Kunal

"1." The boy laugh excitedly when he fastly went down then up as Krish doing fast push-ups

It's Saturday, Afternoon as they're in the Bedi Mansion's back lawn chilling getting fresh airs or doing time pass, as it's half-day in there office so all have their Lunch, together at home.

Raj expectantly look at his Daughter, but she pout her lips "I can't cheer up, my throat---" She make some throaty sounds in between and added "-- is in a bad mood."

Raj scowl as Suraj chuckle on it. "Akshu, is there any another set of rackets." Akshu nods back

"Great, bring them and let's go outside at front porch or garden." She clapped her hands loudly

"What?? Why??" Akshu scowl

"Com'on. I'll tell you. Bhai, get up." She slapped Kunal's head softly as he wince

"Let's go. Let's go. We'll go out." Kshitij shriek getting more happy when Ishana pick him up and kissed him on his both cheeks and lips

He kissed back on her both cheeks and hugged her neck. "Push SuperMan. Go." She whispered as the boy jump from her arms and ran towards Eric

"SuperMan. R-un (Run). R-un." He push him with his all might but Eric didn't even move an inch

He pout angrily on it as Eric chuckle and lift him up in his shoulder as the boy squeal in fear and excitement

Ishana smile on that as all walk out as her smile widens seeing her boy, being so happy with everyone

"Maybe, DA was right. I shouldn't snatch his freedom from him." She mumbled and rubbed her cold palm

She make her mind, that instant. If she's leaving for him, her Son. Then, she'll give him everything, every happiness, every excitements, everyone's love, everyone's presence, atleast till the time, she's with him, she's alive.

Nothing more matters, for her than her Son and his happiness. And, for giving him happiness, then she first needs to make other's feel happy then only he'll be happy

And, for other's sadness reason is she. Her past. So, in short, she needs to be happy, well, pretend to be one. And, it's not so hard to do, Is it?

Eric throw Kshitij in the air upward as the boy gets scared a little and shriek again but when he hold him back, the boy laugh heartily. He repeats it and this time he only laugh out loud

"What's happening?? You all here?" Meera question with a sweet smile etched on her face seeing Kshitij

"Isha, said US to come out. Only Jesus, knows why?" Eric shrug as Kshitij signed him to put down

Eric obliged, as the boy ran towards Meera and stood beside Vijendra. He tugged on her Saree to make Meera look at him

Meera raised her brows at him as the boy eyed the cookies on the plate and give a heart-melting smile

Ragini pinch his cheek softly and awwed. The time, he's going to pick the cookie a hand beat him into it as he look up and gasp

His small face, get more smaller and mouth fell, seeing Raj munching on the cookie. He narrowed his eyes at the men, twice than his age as he huff angrily

"Raj Ji." Meera silently scolded him as Ragini scowl at him. Raj's movement haulted when he saw Kshitij being sad, went near Meera and hugged her

The boy, deliberately loves to get on his nerves. 'How the hell, this little annoying species, became his ever-so-sweet daughter's Son' he always wonders that
