Teju was looking worried and he was looking at her keeping his palm on his face, he was quiet and she was cutely blabbering to him
Teju " how will you manage without me. She will start crying if I m not near her, usko fruits smash karke dena hai, she won't drink in feeding bottle sometime, tantrums dhikati hai, she wont sleep soon, cranky hojayegi mumma bhi nahi hai sunny, it's difficult for u. I m rethinking my decision now, for me she is important than anything else. "
Karan sat straight " you can't complaint like that about my princes. She is a good girl, hawww baby see momma is complaining about my bacha"
He said looking at the sleeping baby and teju chuckled. She looked at him again with worries in her eyes
" sunny "
He held her hands " teju, I'm not saying I m perfect, I can do everything like that. But I will learn, I will learn with her and trust me, I will take care of her best. She may throw tantrums but I will handle her, me and Papa will manage everything, please don't worry now and we will also accompany you sometime. I don't have much work, I will handle my things and take complete care of her. This is your comeback series and I want you to concentrate on that. Consider I m on paternity leave, you please don't stress yourself Jaan, and most importantly, I love you " he pecked her nose at the end
She smiled widely and placed her head on his chest.
Teju " You r the best man in the world sunny "
Karan " bcoz I have the best women in my life my baby girl "
He ruffled her hairs and they slept waiting for the next morning, teju's second inning after a break in her career.
......................................................................
She stood in front of mirror and looked at herself, she had gained little bit weight but that does not impair her look good, it made her even more beautiful to be honest, she was wondering what to wear for the first day shoot, she was searching in her closet when a wrapper caught her attention. Karan have purchase this for her and she opened the wrapper, that white little frock captured her heart in instant, she took her blazer and paired it up looking stunning.
He came inside with her drink and was stunned to see her looking sexy and cute at the same time.
He hugged her from back and she smiled widely at him.
Karan " I m glad you liked it "
Teju " I loved it "
He kissed her cheeks from behind and she applied her moisturizer.
Karan " All the best my love, I know you will rock it and don't worry, we will take care of her and any emergency I will call you. Okay "
She nodded and he turned her around, kissed her forehead.
Teju " You will come with me? "
Karan " ofc me and aashu are coming with mumma for her first day "
She grinned and hugged him, he hugged her back and then went to his baby who is sleeping in her crib.
Karan picked her up " wakey wakey my princess. It's time to rise and shine baby girl "
Teju whine " ye line to mere liye tha na "
He laughed and aashu woke up to see her father laughing and she give him her best smile. She giggled and he went awww on her .
Karan " awww my baby.. Mumma is jealous of my baby boo "
Teja immediately " no no I m not jealous of my baby "
She took her from her arms and aashu lightly slapped her cheeks making teju open her mouth wide and karan laughed.
Karan " ye best tha "
Teju "hawwww aashu bad bad, Mumma ko nahi thapad marti hai "
Aashu face well when she heard bad and karan immediately picked her from teju, she was looking down because her mother said she is bad girl.
Karan " no no my baby is a good girl, my baby is the best "
She grinned looking at her father and showed her tongue to her mother. Teju laughed and he chuckled.
Teju held her hands and kissed her knuckles " Princess, mumma is going to work, my baby will be good girl na, Papa ko pareshan na karna, I will be back soon "
Aashu made a crying face and hoped in to her mother " Mummaa no..aashu sad.. Mummaa.. "
Teju felt like crying but karan nodded no and talked to aashu " baby, mumma is just going to work, we will support mumma na, we will be with mumma always, we love mumma na "
Aashu nodded yes " aashu lubbb mumma "
Teju kissed her cheeks " Mumma also love aashu "
Karan " and now Papa will make aashu ready and we will drop mummaaa , haina bby "
Aashu clapped her hands in excitement as they r going out and he took her to washroom to make her ready.
They got ready in this T-shirt with bottom shorts , extremely hot with their swag and sunglasses on.
Teju " wahhh wahhh"
They smirked at her and teju was shocked to see aashu copying her father.
Aashu " Papa.. Go.. Go "
Karan " yes baby let's go "
He laughed and then the trio moved outside, Papa also accompanied themm.
They reached teju set and she got down, ritesh was standing there already and he greeted them.
Karan went inside her vanity with aashu and papa, while she met everyone at the set as its her first day.
Aashu " Papa, mumma mumma "
Karan " mumma is outside baby "
Aashu " wollkkk? "
He nodded and she placed her head on his chest understanding..
Papa " she is very understanding at this age na. She turned quiet when u said her mumma is at work "
Karan " yes papa.. But she will miss teju for sure. It's difficult to manage her when she cries for her "
Papa nodded and teju entered and aashu sat straight
Aashu " mummaa... No wollkkkk "
Teju " hai bby, mumma will change my dress and then I will work "
Papa patted her head " all the best for your first day beta, rock it like you always do. I m excited to see you back onscreen. My beti will rise and shine"
She bent and touched his feet, papa pulled her for hug " never do this. You know Papa doesn't like na"
She nodded and hugged him back, he left to the car leaving the couple with their princess alone.
Teju took aashu " I love you princess"
Aashu " aashu lubbb u doo mummaa "
She kissed her whole face and karan kissed her forehead " you remember what i said right, this is your comeback, I know you will rock this, don't worry about us, I will look after her."
She nodded and kissed his forehead, he kept his forehead on hers and aashu was in middle of them with her head on chest, a perfect picture frame moment.
Karan " okay u get ready, we will leave. Take care and when ur shoot done, call parvez okay "
She nodded and he once again kissed her cheeks before leaving.
He picked aashu from his arms and she snuggled to her father.
Karan " baby say byeee to mumma "
Aashu looked at her mother " byee mumma "
She showed her little hand and teju kissed her cheeks saying bye, they left the vanity and she was just looking at them. Ritesh asked her to get ready soon and she closed her eyes, prayed for a good start and got ready.
......................................................................
Karan reached home with Papa and aashu, he asked papa to take rest and decided to feed aashu first. He checked her napkin and changed her into soft comfy cloth.
He placed that little apron over her and she was running here and there. He was running behind her and she was giving tough time to her papa.
He caught her and placed her on the chair locking her once. She pouted and tried to melt her father but he didn't budge.
Karan " No no Missy, no looking like this. First food, then you and Papa can't play all the day okay "
She turned her face when he brought her spoon near her mouth, she tightened her lips and he chuckled.
He moved little away and she looked at her father, he raised his hands and like a wave he brought the food doing funny reactions, she laughed and opened her mouth, he slide the spoon immediately and she glared at her father.
Aashu " papa no no "
Karan " baby yes yes "
He imitated her and she pouted more. After a good one hour he emptied the bowl and she clapped her hands.
Aashu " Papa, aashu good "
Karan " haan haan, aashu good, bcoz she ate the food in one hour na "
She glared at him for his sarcastic tone and he laughed, she slapped his cheeks and he laughed more.
Karan " agar Teri mumma dehke aise thapad marna, hum dono gaye "
She laughed at his frightened face and he giggled with her.. He removed her apron and dropped her down, so that she can play for sometime that will make her digest better.
He called Papa for lunch and they both had their lunch together, he called teju who picked up in ring.
Teju " sunny, what is she doing. Did she ate, is she playing, don't let her sleep immediately.. she must have thrown tantrums na, sunny say something "
Karan " bolne dogi toh bolunga na "
She pouted and he laughed " Maa beti bas yahi karo "
He moved to the living room and she was shocked, he was shocked as well, the whole living room was mess and he pouted this time.
Karan " aashu, baby, what is this "
Aashu " Papa.. No tisub aashu.. Aashu plaaayyy "
She concentrated on taking her new toys from her tent and he turned the camera to himself and pouted at teju. She laughed seeing his face and her eyes turned teary.
Teju " not even a day, I miss her already "
Karan " just few days love.. Don't cry now. "
Teju " you ate? "
Karan " yeah me and papa just had. Did u ate? Papa send the food na "
She nodded and they talked for sometime before she goes to her next scene.
He kept his phone aside and saw papa trying to pick the toys.
Karan " Papa rehene do, I will do. She will be throwing things until she sleep., I will arrange once she asleep "
Papa nodded and aashu came to him rubbing her eyes. She opened her arms and he picked her up
Karan " my princess is sleepy "
She nodded and kept his head on her chest.
Karan patted her head while she hugged his neck, she slept with her head on his chest and he walked to and fro till she goes to her deep sleep.
He placed her on her bed in the living room and she slept hugging her little toy gifted by her brother veer.
Karan took the stuff and arranged them neatly, he saw she even pulled the few from door, he wondered how she opened the door. He fell on the couch tired as his back ache by bending and taking things.
He saw some YouTube videos and teju called again to enquire about them. He didn't say about his backache to her, he asked her when is her packup. She said by 6 in the evening and he smiled at her. After talking for somtime, he ended the call and saw his princes is up.
He moved to her and she was annoyed for something.
Karan " y my baby is annoyed "
Aashu " Papa.. Poo....poo "
( It is very important to teach kids about their self cleansing, they may not understand the meaning of it at that age but training them slowly make them to develop self discipline. Aashu had been taught to inform them whenever she feels wet or discomfort, when she pooped, she also learned it over times )
He understood what she meant and took her to washroom to clean her and changed her into new dress and she started sucking her thumb indicating she is hungry.
Aashu " papaaaa... Mummaaa "
She turned sad and he pecked her cheeks.
Karan " mumma will be back soon baby. No sad "
He gave her fruit juice and she drank it in a go. He smiled at her and he placed her on the play area and she started playing the balls, he also sat beside her and played with her for sometime.
She used to throw them afar and he have to go and pick them up. He was visibly exhausted but still he never show that to aashu, she was happy to be with him.
Sunset started falling and he picked her up and took her to balcony, this is their ritual to make her fascinate about the nature. He brought her cereal and made he eat while showing the nature and also people playing, he also played with her and she started patting the plants like talking with them.
Aashu " Papa sunny... Sunny .. Two two sunny. ...Papa one and sunny two"
She showed the sunset and he smiled, he loved whenever she calls him sunny.
They saw teju car entering the space and she started jumping showing the excitement of seeing her mother.
Karan " baby who is coming "
Aashu clapped her hands " mumma mumma "
They went back to living room and teju entered inside and aashu rushed her mother, she immediately picked her up and kissed her whole cheeks.
Karan " look at her how happy she is "
She nodded and kissed her, hugged her tightly " I missed you so much baby "
Aashu " aashu missy Missu mumma "
Karan " so u didn't miss me? "
He acted like he is sad and teju pecked his lips immediately as aashu was busy playing with her hair.
Karan looked at her shocked and she smirked " I missed u so much hubby "
He smiled and he asked her to freshnup. Teju smiled and gave aashu to him.
He made her finish the cereal and teju came back, she also started playing with aashu and karan clicked their picture.
Karan " my little babies, you both are cute "
Aashu face palmed " Papa, aashu baby, mumma no baby "
Karan laughed " for me she is also my baby "
She pouted and teju smiled warmly at him ,he never fails to make her feel special. The evening passed by and night knocks in. Aashu slept in her mother embrace and she made her lay down on her cradle.
Karan hugged teju and picked her up, he moved to their balcony and placed her on the bed setup he have done for them. He kissed her hands and she looked at him with a smile.
Karan " Today I realized that raising a baby is not easy. I have been there with her before also but today, being with her and taking care of her whole time made me realize that parenting is not easy. I even got back ache by picking all the stuff she thrown her and there, making her have food is a big task bcoz she turned more playful at that time. "
Teju cupped his cheeks " I m sorry that u have to do this "
Karan nodded no " no teju, there is no need to be sorry, in fact I should be sorry to you, I didn't know that it was this much tiring. I m glad I get a chance to experience this. All these days, you have been doing this without complaining, you never snapped at her even a bit, you were always caring and ofc not to mention about the way she is learning things from now itself. Parenting is our responsibility , both of us, isme aapko sorry bolna nahi jaana and I am going to enjoy this phase. All this physical exhaustion doesn't matter when I see that smile on her face whenever she build those block, whenever she throws the ball and i get back to her, whenever she calls me papa to get her something. All this made me happy. This is a great experience Tejuuu "
She looked at him with adoration and he kissed her forehead, they talked about the naughty stuff aashu did and cuddled together.
