Angel led the way and reached to Hotel Rainbow. Ruhi chuckled.

“Aaj yahan! “ she asked.
Angel smiled... "Ruhi ko pasand hai na! “ she said.

Ruhi nodded her head.. “han bahut pasand hai. “ she chuckled.

Hrishi barged in between… “Ye toh meri favourite place hai. “he said.

Ruhi glanced at him… “Good choice. “ she said.

Hrishi smiled and patted her head at which she frowned…

“Don't touch my hair daddy! “ she said and suddenly looked up at him, and realised what she said.

Her face fell off and she turned to the other side. Hrishi and Angel glanced at each other, at which Hrishi smiled and held her hand…

“Let's go! Bahut bhukh lagi hai. “ he said to make her feel better.

“Bhukh toh mujhe bhi lagi hai, chalo Ruhi, Pizza khayenge. “she said.

Ruhi looked at her mother and she nodded meaningfully. She looked at her and then Hrishi..

“Bas aap dono ko bhook nahi lagi, mujhe bhi lagi hai. Chalo ab. “she held their hands and led to a corner table.

She took the corner seat and asked Hrishi to sit next to her. He was surprised but followed the instructions. Angel sat opposite to them. She saw Ruhi checking out the menu, and asked…

“Kya khana hai Ruhi ko?” she asked.

“Pizza and Pasta! “ she chuckled.

Hrishi chuckled… “Arey!! Ye toh mera bhi favorite hai. That's called coincidence. “ he said.

“and it calls for a high5 too. “ ruhi said looking at him.

Hrishi smiled and they shared a high 5, at which Angel smiled and she tended to go down the memory lane.

*Flashback Begins *

It was a normal day. Angel was laying the table for dinner. Ruhi was playing around with the ball. Angel called her…

“ruhi chalo khana kha lo. “ she called.

“Papa ke sath. “ she said.

Angel smiled… “Papa ko derr hogi, tum khaa lo chalo. “ she said.

Ruhi looked at her “Noo! Papa ke sath. Wo aane wale hain. “ she said.

Angel was about to say when she heard the voice of the car. Ruhi jumped at her place…

“Its papa! “ she said and ran towards the door.

Angel. Opened the door and certainly it was sachin. Ruhi looked at her..

“Dekha i was right. “ she said.

Sachin entered in… “kya baatein ho rahi hai? “

“Mumma didn't know it's you, but i knew” Ruhi replied.

Sachin smiled.. “that's good. “ he said. Ruhi giggled… “i knoow daddy. “ she said.

Angel shaked her head.. “ab tum dono khana khane aaoge? “ she asked.

Sachin smiled… “han aata hoon. “ he said and walked to his room.

He came out of his room and saw his daughter sitting on the dining table, and suddenly something made his way towards him. He caught it and Angel shouted…

“tum dono baap beti chup chap khana khao. Ye khel karne ki zaroorat nhi hai.” she said angrily.

Ruhi made a sad face… “Main kuch nahi kiya. “she said innocently.

Angel glared at her… “ Beta main teri maa hoon. Mujhe pata hai shaitani kaun karta hai. “ she said.

Ruhi pointed towards Sachin… “ papa ne kiya. “ she said.

Sachin looked at her shockingly… “Beta papa ne kya kiya? “ he asked

“aapne hi kiya. Ball kisne catch ki… Aapne! “ruhi replied innocently.

Sachin sighed… “maa kam thi jo ab beti bhi sata rahi hai. “ he said.

“tumhari beti hai, tum hi sambhalo. Bigaad ke rakha hai. “ Angel sighed.

Ruhi giggled… “mumma no gussa! “ she said.

“tum dono dilate ho gussa. I hate you! “ she said and turned to other side.

Ruhi moved to her and put her hands in her her neck… “but we love you na! “ she said and pecked a kiss on her cheek.

“rehne do tum dono mujhe koi baat nahi karni. “she said angrily.

Sachin held her shoulders… “mazak tha. “he said.

She glared at him while Sachin and Ruhi started tickling her, at which she laughed. Ruhi and sachin shared a high - 5 and she looked at them but pulled them. In a hug.

*flashback ends*

Angel came out of her trance and found Ruhi and Hrishi giggling over something. A small smile made way on her lips.

Hrishi snipped his fingers in front of her..

“kya soch rahi hain? “he asked.

“kuch nahi.”she said.

She eyed on her daughter who was happily munching her meal and suddenly turned to Hrishi to tell him something. A while later, they were out of the restaurant. Hrishi offered to drop them home but Angel denied..

“thanks! Hum chale jayenge. “ she said.

Hrishi smiled while they turned to move, but Angel turned and looked at him..

“Thanks for making her happy. “ she said while looking at Ruhi.

He smiled back.. “no issues! I am happy that i did it. “ he said.

Smiling at him, Angel left with Ruhi while Hrishi watched them go.
