Ram's driver knocked on the door and entered the living area with the luggage.

Ram thanked him and the driver smiled before leaving the place.

"Uncle, come I will show you my cars and airplane." Aryan said, pulling Ram's hand along with him.

"Take out all your toys. I will come in a minute." Said Ram while Aryan nodded happily and ran into his room.

Ram turned to Priya and smiled before saying, "Tell me, where should I keep my luggage?"

Priya let out a frustrated sigh seeing his audacity.

"Ram, what exactly are you trying to do?" Priya asked, clearly annoyed.

"I am doing exactly what I have to do." Ram answered, with a nonchalant shrug.

"Ram?" Priya wanted to speak further but remained silent seeing Amaira and Peehu over there.

Amaira and Peehu were looking blankly at Ram & Priya.

Shifting his gaze from Priya to his daughters, Ram went near Amaira and wished her, "Hi Amaira! How are you?"

Amaira had a confused frown on her face seeing Ram and Peehu in their house.

Amaira looked at her mother when Ram came to her and knelt down in front of her.

Priya nodded her head and signaled her to talk to Ram.

"Hi!" Amaira responded curtly.

Ram smiled at her gently but she was quiet. Ram understood that Amaira is still not comfortable around him.

Aryan yelled from inside the room. "Amaira!!! Where is my red car? I can't find it."

Amaira ran towards Aryan leaving Ram behind.

"Peehu, go inside and play. I will come in a minute." Ram said, caressing Peehu's hair.

Peehu nodded and left from there.

Ram stood on his feet and moved towards Priya.

"Amairaaa..." Ram tried to ask Priya something.

"She will take some time to be comfortable around new people unlike Aryan." Priya replied, understanding what he was going to ask.

Ram exhaled sharply. "I didn't expect that I would introduce myself to my own kids. They are thinking that I am an outsider or guest in their house."

Priya closed her eyes for a brief moment.

"For your kind information, you are a guest, an uninvited one! Please remember that." Priya snapped at him.

"Think whatever you want to. I don't feel like a guest here. Wherever you and kids are, that is my home too." Ram said, trying not to lose his calm.

Priya gaped at his stubbornness. Ram hovered his eyes around.

"If this is the kids' room, the next room must be yours. In that case, I should keep my luggage over there." Ram said, pointing to the next room adjacent to the kids' room.

"Ram, let me tell you, we are not going to share a room. Let alone sharing a room, I don't want you to stay here. Try to understand that." Priya warned him.

Ram let out a deep sigh after hearing Priya but he was determined to not step back.

"Uncle, come inside, I will show my toys to you." Aryan's loud voice made them turn their heads.

"Sure buddy! I am coming." Ram replied and looked at Priya briefly before entering Kids' room.

Priya shook her head seeing the plain reaction from Ram. She sensed that he is upto something for sure.

Aryan excitedly showed all his toys to Ram. Ram couldn't bear that his own kids are referring to him as 'Uncle'.

Ram was sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "Kids, come here once." Ram called them towards him.

Aryan and Peehu came and stood in front of him. Amaira was standing a little away from him.

"Amaira, please come near to me." Ram signalled her.

Amaira took baby steps and stood near him.

"Aryan & Amaira, listen to me carefully." Ram started talking while holding their tiny palm in his hands.

"What Uncle?" Aryan asked, curiously while Amaira looked at him blankly.

Ram closed his eyes for a mere second when Aryan mentioned him as Uncle again.

Meanwhile, Priya walked towards the door and watched them quietly.

"I am not your uncle; I am your father." Ram finally disclosed it to kids.

Keeping his hand on Peehu's shoulder, he said to twins, "And Peehu is your elder sister."

Aryan and Amaira quickly turned their heads towards their mom who nodded her head positively.

"Really?" Aryan asked excitedly.

"Yes, my son!" Ram nodded happily.

"Yaay! Papa!!!" Aryan squealed in joy, clinging to Ram.

Aryan encircled his hands around Ram while Ram patted on his back.

Ram was on cloud-nine when Aryan called him as Papa for the first time. His eyes got moistened and he kissed Aryan's cheeks before hugging him again. Ram started ruffling Aryan's hair whereas Aryan seemed to be extremely happy.

Priya too felt emotional seeing Ram and Aryan's bond. She recollected the times when Aryan and Amaira asked about their father and Priya couldn't answer their plenty of questions. She used to convince kids by giving a few random excuses.

Priya wiped off the lone tear falling off her eyes seeing Kids with their father. Keeping aside her differences with Ram for a moment, she felt relieved at heart seeing kids with their dad.

A smile crept on Priya's face seeing Aryan's excitement and she got a little worried after seeing Amaira's response.

Ram shifted his focus to Amaira who stepped back a little from him.

"Amaira, please come here." Ram called her sweetly.

Amaira looked at him once before running towards Priya.

Parting from the hug, Ram stood on his feet moving towards Amaira who was peeking behind Priya.

Ram looked at Priya helplessly, seeing Amaira's reaction.

Priya kept her hand on Amaira's head, caressing her hair gently as Amaira grabbed her hand.

"Please give her some time. I will make her understand. It will be too much for her to handle all at once." Priya explained to him, seeing the helplessness in his eyes.

Ram exhaled deeply when Priya moved out of the kids' room along with Amaira.

Peehu and Aryan shared some cute moments talking to each other.

************

"No! No! I don't want to take a bath!" Aryan cried, trying to free himself from his mother's grip.

"Enough of playing for today. Get freshen up quickly." Priya said strictly.

"Mumma, I don't want to take a bath!" He cried continuously showing his tantrums.

"I will beat you, Aryan." Priya said indignantly.

"Wait, wait!" Ram said, coming towards them. "What's happening here? Why are you shouting at such an innocent kid?"

Ram said, ruffling Aryan's hair. Aryan grinned looking at his father.

Priya glared at him when he stated Aryan as 'innocent'.

"Now don't scare me with your looks." Ram said and then looked at Aryan.

"Aryan, do you have any problem if I give you a bath?" Ram asked.

Aryan's lips curved into a broad smile.

"Yes! I am ok with that." Aryan said as he showed a thumbs up in the air.

Priya gaped at Aryan seeing how immediately he agreed when Ram asked. Priya opened her mouth to say something but Ram spoke before her.

"Don't worry, Priya. I will give him a bath." Ram said.

Priya didn't say anything but frowned at Ram before taking Amaira and Peehu along with her.

"Come on, let's go, papa!" Aryan said as he pulled Ram's hand.

Ram smiled at Aryan's childishness.

After that Ram and Aryan went to take bath. While they were in, Priya could hear some noise.

She went near the door and realized Ram & Aryan were singing songs in their own way.

"Oh god!" She exclaimed.

After a while, she noticed that they hadn't come out yet. They were there for a long time now. She sighed and went near the door.

"This is not your Kapoor mansion, Mr Ram Kapoor. Water supply is limited here." Priya called out.

"Ok, fine! We are almost done, no need to taunt." Ram replied while singing.

Shaking her head sideways, Priya left from there.

After a while, the door clicked open. Ram and Aryan came out of the washroom taking their sweet time.

Moments later,

Peehu was beyond happy staying with her mother and her siblings. She was getting all the attention from her mother.

Priya helped Peehu take bath and dress her.

**********

At the dining table,

Aryan sat next to Ram, while Amaira sat beside Peehu.

While Priiya was serving Aryan, she told him. "Finish everything." Aryan groaned.

Once she was done serving everyone, Priya looked over at Peehu. It's been a long time since she fed her.

"Do you want me to feed you?" Priya asked Peehu and she nodded happily.

Priya smiled and started feeding Peehu. She was very happy to be fed by her mom and Priya was also enjoying the moment as well.

Aryan looked over at Priya and then at his plate. He then turned to Ram with an innocent look. He slowly pushed his plate to Ram and got off his chair to sit in Ram's lap.

"Papa, you feed me." He spoke. Ram chuckled at his cuteness.

"Sure," he smiled and nodded at him.

After a while, Ram watched over at Amaira. She was eating quietly without saying anything.

"Can I feed you too, Amaira?" asked Ram.

Amaira shook her head in negative and with a low voice said. "No, I can eat on my own." She spoke.

Ram smiled faintly and Priya observed it.

"See, Aryan. You should learn from Amaira. She is eating on her own." Priya said, trying to lighten the mood.

Aryan frowned lightly. "Peehu didi is older than me but you're still feeding her." he replied back.

Priya rolled her eyes at his counter response and said, "You are talking too much these days."

Aryan giggled and Ram chuckled seeing them.

"Ummm!" Ram moaned, closing his eyes while relishing the handmade food by Priya.

Aryan and Peehu giggled seeing Ram's reaction. Amaira couldn't help but smile softly.

"You don't know how much I missed your food all these years! I must say there must be some magic in your hands." Ram said, looking at Priya.

Priya gave him a brief look and focused on Peehu and Amaira.

"I think you can say thank you after receiving compliments." Ram tried to make her speak.

Priya glared at him.

"I think you should thank me for letting you stay here and feeding you. Trust me I have no interest in doing this but you know why I am being quiet." Priya said, looking at the kids for a brief moment.

"So don't try to be oversmart with me. I can make things difficult for you if you keep bothering me." Priya said in a low tone.

Ram sighed and cleared his throat, realizing she's tough to deal with.

After a few minutes, they finished their dinner together. Ram felt happy having his first meal with his kids and Priya together for the first time.

He decided in his heart that he will never let these moments go away from him ever again. He knows that he has to be patient as Priya is not going to be convinced so easily.

After a couple of hours, Ram and Peehu were there in the living room.

"Peehu, do you like it here? Did you make friends with your sister and brother?" Ram asked.

"Yes, Papa. I am very happy. I like playing with Amaira and Aryan and they are really good." Peehu responded.

Ram smiled at her and patted her cheek.

"Peehu, come on, it's time to sleep!" Priya said, coming out of the kitchen.

Ram and Peehu turned their heads towards Priya.

"Okay Mumma!" Peehu nodded.

Priya asked Aryan, Amaira and Peehu to come along with her.

Ram frowned at her before asking, "Are we all going to sleep in the same room?"

Priya crossed her arms below her chest. "Not we, you are going to sleep in the Kids' room and the kids will be in my room with me."

"No Mumma, I want to sleep with Papa." Aryan said, holding Ram's hand.

Ram chuckled at him while Priya gaped at Aryan.

Inside the room, Peehu and Amaira occupied either side of Priya.

Priya turned her gaze to Amaira who was not showing any reaction.

"Amaira, do you want to go to Papa as well?" Priya asked, trying to make Amaira get used to her father.

"No, Mumma." Amaira denied, clinging more to her mother.

Priya patted her, lost in her thoughts. Priya knew that she had to make Amaira get comfortable with Ram.

Priya couldn't forgive Ram completely and getting back to him is something she doesn't want to do. But, at the same time, she can't let any of her kids suffer anymore due to the differences between her and Ram.

Priya caressed Peehu's hair and talked to her for a while. Priya missed a few years in Peehu's childhood and now she doesn't want to miss any moments with Peehu.

Peehu seemed to be delighted staying with her mother, father and siblings under one roof.

**********

Ram and Aryan talked to each other about random things.

"Papa, where were you all these days?" Aryan asked Ram out of nowhere.

Ram was rooted to the spot not knowing what to answer.

"Papa was away for some work. Peehu was with me and you both stayed with your mother." Ram tried to convince the kid.

"Are you going to leave us again?" Aryan asked with a sad face.

"No, Aryan. I am not going to stay away from you. We all will be staying together from now onwards." Ram ensured him.

"Is it? Thank you, Papa." Aryan kissed Ram's cheeks. Ram too kissed him back before smiling at him.
