Kardhaniyan chhun chhun bajein
Palkan mein sapna saje
Dheeme dheeme, haule haule
Pawan basanti dole
Dheeme dheeme haule haule
Pawan basanti dole
Leke goad mein sulaaoon
Gaoon raat bhar sunaoon
Main lori lori, ho main lori lori

Naina was roaming in her room, trying to make Pihu sleep.. singing her lullaby with all the motherly love and affection.
***************
Meri muniya Rani bane
Mehlon ka Raja mile
Dekhe khushiyon ke mele
Dard kabhi na jhele
O dekhe khushiyon ke mele
Dard kabhi na jhele
Leke goad mein sulaaoon
Gaoon raat bhar sunaoon
Main lori lori, main lori lori
Lori lori lori x (8)

She put her on bed and laid beside her carefully not to wake her up and kept staring at her innocent face and fell asleep pating her chest softly.

Rajveer was watching that beautiful scene from door with contentment smile on his face "Ananya ne thik kaha tha.. agar iss duniya me hamari beti ko koi uske jaisa pyaar kar sakta hai to wo sirf Naina hai"

He laid beside them, and kept watching them whole night, the two most important person in his life his wife and his daughter.
*******************************

Next morning when she woke up, saw Pihu lovingly who was wide awake and giving her a toothless smile, watching her in the morning is the most beautiful thing... She is a quite child never disturbs her unnecessarily, just like her mother..... may be she understands that her mother is already disturbed, and she should not bother her and behave like a good girl.

Naina admired her and gave her a soft kiss on cheek, when she tried to get up but a voice stopped her.

"Beti ko to good morning kiss mil gayi lekin beti ke papa ka kya?... Unki good morning kaise hogi" Rajveer said innocently.

"Huh... Good Morning" she said a bit startled.

"Sirf khali, rukhi sukhi Good Morning... se kaam nahi chalega, mujhe bhi bilkul Pihu wali Good Morning Kissie chahiye" he said

For the first time she was speechless, words were not coming out of her mouth.. what happened to him?

"Nahi dogi?... Hmm waise meine suna thaki shaadi ke baad ladkia or bhi zyada tezz ho jati hai lekin yaha to tum badi hi sharmilee ho gayi ho.... Chalo koi baat nahi thode time ke liye adjust ker leta hu lekin agey se mujhe tumse Good Morning Kiss chahiye hi chahiye... Samjhi" he said and she Just noded her head like a dumb person.

He smile "good girl" and came forward placed a kiss on her cheeck "Good Morning Biwiji" with a smile he left for bathroom.

She sat their Numb with eyes wide open trying to register what just happened with her... Was he really Rajveer? Or his twin?

She was working in kitchen chopping vegetables when Rajveer cqme there and said in chirpy voice "arey wahh... Khushboo to badi achi aa rahi hai".

"Meine abhi tak kuch banaya nahi hai, tumhe kis cheez ki khushboo ayi" she eyed him.

"Arey.. mein to in tazi kachi sabziyo ki baat kar raha tha..." He covered up and smelled them " ahh haa haa haa... kya khushboo hai, very nice.... Waise tumhe to Maggie banani bhi nahi ati thi to itna badiya khana kaha se bana seekha?" He asked.

"U.S. mein Indian khane ki bahot yaad ati thi isiliye online dekh dekh ke seekha, waise bhi waha apna kaam khud hi karna padta hai" she said.

"Ohh... Chalo tumhare U.S. jane ka kuch  to fayeda hua... Mujhe acha     acha khane ko mil raha hai... Waise aaj khane mein kya bana rahi ho? He asked.

"Lauki ki sabzi"

"Eekkss lauki... I hate lauki" he said making dirty face.

"Kyu.. abhi to iski khushboo badi achi lag rahi thi.....tazi tazi" she taunted "waise bhi tumhari tabyat thik nahi hai, fayeda kregi" she said in a strict tone.

"Yeahhh... Whatever" he went away from there.

"Whatever nahi, khani padegi" she shouted " ye or iske mood swings samjh hi nahi ate?" She said to herself.

At lunch table

He was looking at his plate as if someone gave him the most disgusting thing to eat.

"Khane ko aise ghoorna band karo Rajveer, dekho mein bhi to kha rahi hu na..."

"Tum to kuch bhi kha sakti ho... Akhir Hercules ki mausi jo ho, or mein nanha munha, nazuk or masoom sa kaise iss bhayanak si chiz ko kha sakta hu" he acted as if scared of it.

"Ha bilkul nanhe munne tum to Pihu se bhi chote bacche ho na..."

"Meine keh diya na mujhe nahi kahni ye bhayanak si cheez to nahi kahni basss ... That's final" he said adamantly.

She sighed "Rajveer please zid mat karo kha lo na.. it's good for your
health" she said softly.

He stared her and picked up his bowl and drank it in a go without breaking his eye contact with her.

She stared at him in amazement "tumhe to ye pasand nahi fir aise kaise pee gaye?"

He gave her his world famous smile and gaze at her intensely "itne pyaar se kahogi to zeher bhi pee jau sweetheart.. fir ye to lauki hai...." Saying sweetly, he went in his room.

..Leaving her in amazement again... "Isey akhir ho kya gaya hai.. achanak se hriday parivartan? kahi accident ka asar seedha bheje pe to nahi pada?" She got scared" Doctor se baat krni padegi".

"Aley meri Rajkumari, Papa ke pass ayegi..." He picked up Pihu in his arms and she giggled.

"Rajveer Pihu ko mujhe do, uska feeding time hai" she said while extending her arms.

"Nope, tum mujhe uski bottle do, aj mein apni Rajkumari ko apne hath pilaunga... Haina meri Doll" he asked in baby voice and Pihu giggled and clapped her hands as if understanding what he is saying.

Naina was amazed at his changed behaviour, this is the first time he is showing his affection towards his daughter so openly, she had seen him admiring Pihu from a far, kissing her forehead when she is alseep but this... It's first time when he is showering his love for her openly.. Naina was Happy with this change in him.

"Naina.. ab aise hi mujhe ghoorti rahogi ya bottle dogi uski, I know mein handsome but Pihu ke samne ye sab acha nahi lagta she is a kid after all.. Samjha karo, Raat ko jo tum kahogi wo karunga... Or jo tum karna chahogi wo bhi karne dunga" he winked at her naughtily" but abhi ke liye, thoda mujhpe reham khao or meri beti pe bhi please..." He asked for her bottle and she gave him, totally numb she was.

"What the hell has happened to him?" She thought "Not that I am complaining, lekin kal tak to devdas mode mein tha or aj isme Imraan Hashmi ki atma ghadi ghadi kyu arhi hai" she kept staring at him.. he was feeding Pihu when he felt her gaze on him, he smiled at her and gave her a flying kiss which made her eyes go wide.

"Pakka kuch gadbad hai... Ispe kisi ne jadoo tona kiya hai" she ran away from their leaving a launging Rajveer.

"Mission accomplished Baby Doll" he said to Pihu and she gave him the sweetest smile. " Ab wo din dur nahi jab Mumma fir se phoolan devi wale avtaar mein ajayegi bilkul Anu Maa ki pehle wali Naina jaisi ban jayegi" he said with hope and kissed her cheek.
