5 years later

Ahana's POV

Nothing had changed in the last 5 years, except my elder daughter Manvi. She had now grown up to 21 years old and Aanya is 5 years old. I had not worried about Aanya because Manvi had been taking care of her more than I do. It seems she had became second mother.

I shouted "Manvi... Aanya.. Utho late ho jayega dono ko"

Virat came after jogging, he picked up the toast and eat it.

"Virat please jaake bacho ko utha do na.." I requested him.

"Ahana.. Relax mannu hai na wo khud uth jayegi aur Aanya ko bhi utha degi" he said

"This is not fair Virat.. Manvi abhi khud bachi hai... kaise sambhalegi Aanya ko wo" I said in conern.

Virat smiled and said "nahi Ahana.. Wo ab bachi nahi hai.. Ab wo waha hai jahan tum thi 20 saal pehle.."

"Yahi na Virat.. Wo aanya ko humse bhi zyada pyar karti hai par ye kisiko nahi dikhta hai.. Khoon ke rishte se bade hai dil ke dhaage.." I exclaimed.

"Dikhega Ahana.. One day people will change the thinking.. Main ready hoke aata hun then we will go to the office" he said and left to the room.

Manvi's POV

The alarm buzzed in my ears, I switched it off. After about 5 minutes, my phone alarm buzzed. I opened my eyes and stood up. I stretched my arms and looked at the time it was 7 am. I looked beside me Aanya was sleeping.

She looked so cute while sleeping, I did not want to disturb her but she had to go to school. I kept my hand on her forehead just like Ahana used to do to me.

"Aanya utho.. School jaana hai.." I said

But she did not move even a single inch. I said a louder "utho aanya.. Mujhe college bhi jaana hai phir late ho jaungi main"

She shifted her head to my lap and wrapped her arms around my waist "nahi jaana mujhe school Di"

I smiled as she reminded of myself.

"School toh jaana padega." I said.

I got down from the bed, she opened her eyes and stretched her arms. I picked her up and took her into the bathroom. I removed her clothes and made her sit inside the tub. She sprinkled water on my face and I sprinkles back.

"Aanya.. enough nahi toh mumma aayengi aur hum dono ko daant lagayengi" I said.

Aanya smiled, I took the towel wrapped it around her and took her into my arms. I took her out, and made her ready for school. She was playing with a toy and it was difficult for me to comb her hair.

"Aanya baby ruko fir spoil ho jayenge aapke hair" I said a bit irritatedly.

She sat straight and I managed to comb and tie her hair. "Aanya ne homework kiya tha na?" I asked.

"Haan Di kiya tha Aanya good girl hai" she said with a smile.

I smiled at her antics as I remembered myself and ahana. It seems like history is repeating. It just I am not Aanya's mother but an elder sister.

We moved downstairs, Aanya ran to ahana and hugged her..

"Good molning mumma" she said.

Ahana picked her up in her arms and kissed her cheeks "good morning baby.. Ready ho gayi?"

"Haan Di ne kiya" she replied in her innocent tone.

I came to the dinning table and chucked seeing sandwiches "wao Sandwiches" I shouted.

Ahana's POV

Somethings cannot be changed, Manvi had now grown up as an adult. A 21 years old girl who loves Aanya more than me. It is not me who is raising Aanya but it is her. Getting her ready to school, feeding her food playing with her. She had become a second mother to my daughter Aanya.

But sometimes, she acts worse than Aanya. Getting over-excited for Varun Dhawan movies still, jumping seeing her favourite food and irritating me at the core.

I sighed helplessly when she was eating sandwiches. Aanya sat on her lap and she feeds her.

She glanced at me and asked "kya dekh rahe ho mumma??"

"Yahi ki tu samajhdar hai ya nahi.." I still had a doubt in this.

"Haww... ab kya kiya maine?" she asked tend to be thinking.

"Jo kaam tera nahi hai wo mat kar.. Nashta kar aur college jaa and no bunking" I said strictly.

Manvi shook her head affirmatively. She took Aanya with her and left home.

Virat came downstairs while talking on the phone. "No.. Mr. Sinha mujhe aaj hi details chahiye mujhe kaam mein delay pasand nahi hai got that.."

I smiled, he is also same. Mr. Arrogant for our employees, the boss who is always right. He looked around and asked "ghar mein shanti kyun hai?"

"Because Manvi college gayi hai aur Aanya school.." I replied.

"Then humhe bhi chalna chahiye office" He said.

"Nashta toh karlo" I ordered.

"Baad mein urgent meeting hai" he exclaimed. He pulled me along with him and we left for office. This rushing habit of his, I still hate.

Manvi's POV

I came to drop Aanya to school, I bends down on my knees and said "tiffin pura khatam karna okay?"

"Yes Di.. pal aap Aanya ko lene aana late nahi hona" she said.

I smiled and kissed her forehead "Di time pe aayegi..."

Aanya rushed into the school and I headed to my college. I attended my lectures, around 1.40 pm. I was heading out.. My friend stopped me. "Manvi sun.." she said.

I looked at her.. "Haan kya hai?"

"Aaj Varun Dhawan ki new film lagi hai we are going to aa rahi hai?" she asked.

I was overwhelmed by hearing her. She then thought about Aanya. I said "tum log jaao mujhe apni behen ko school se pick karna hai phir kabhi aaungi" as for me Aanya was first priorty.

I moved and heard my friends.. "Aanya toh iski behen bhi nahi hai aur itni fikar uske liye..."

I smiled hearing this and headed to Aanya's school. I arrived there, Aanya was standing at the corner. I picked her up in my arms. She made a face.

I asked.. "Kya hua?"

"Aap 5 minutes late ho.. Aanya gussa hai aapse" she said frowning.

"Acha? Toh main ice-cream kisko dun?" I asked taking out ice-cream from my bag.

Aanya chuckled and took it "Aanya ko.." she smiled broadly and I took her home.
