~ SLEEPLESS NIGHT ~

Naina and Preeti are trying their best to sleep but are unable due to Saina's howling. 'Di, please put a silencer on her,' Preeti complains as she holds 2 pillows over her head trying to block out the sounds.

The pillows provides little help as Saina's power packed screams wakes up the entire mansion. Kalyani, Abha, Bela, Swati and Shefali came in the room and tries to pacify her, but are unable to.

Some servants and Reene too tries but, WITHOUT LUCK! Saina wants Sameer, and that is that!

Not even a machine-washed, tumble-dried teddy bear can pacify her down. Pacing from one end of the room to the other, only exhausts Naina as Saina's tears continues to flow. 'Papa,' she calls continuously.

'Di, please call jiju,' Preeti gives her cell.


'No need! I will pacify her.'

'Naina, don’t be so stubborn, call him and fulfill her wish,' Swati said after sometime.

She sternly crosses her arms on her chest, 'No di, there is no need to fulfill all wishes of the child!'

They just shakes their heads. After 5 hours of pure noise, Saina retires out of tiredness; giving the mansion some much needed peace, not to mention 2 hours, for the grown-ups to get their 40 winks of sleep.

Sameer is in his cabin, when Vijay walks in and tells him to handle a important meeting today. He gets shocked, 'But Dad, I have no idea what’s happening in our business. I was away on a cruise for many months and before that; I was DEAD for a year!'

Vijay smiles, 'Sameer, even if you were away for 10 years, you did still be able to chair this meeting, I have full faith in you!'

He looks sadly at the gift-wrapped box on the table, it's a new dress, he bought for his baby and wants to give it to her first thing in the morning.


He has also packed Naina's clothes, which she needs urgently.

'I will take it for you,' Vijay said looking at him.

He gives it to him, 'Okay Dad!'

Everyone in the family are gracing the breakfast table with their sleep deprived faces, while Saina is sleeping in the room, WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD!



Just then on seeing DivJay coming they puts on fake smiles and greets them.

'Where is our granddaughter?' Divya asked.

'Actually Mom,' Shefali tells her everything.

They feels like laughing. 'You should have called Sameer!'

'Children's, should not be given EVERYTHING THEY ASK FOR!' Naina states clearly.

'But Naina, Saina is still so small, all this while, she was with BOTH her parents. Suddenly, now her Dad is not in front of her; and it’s confusing her. She is frightened that he is not around! That’s why she is crying for him,' Bela knocks some sense in her.

"Right Mom, but di thinks that if she keeps jiju away from Saina; then SHE WILL BECOME THE FAVORITE PARENT,' Preeti winks at her.

Naina gets angry at her, 'Shut up Preeti, I wouldn’t do THAT to my child. At one time she didn’t wanted to be around Sameer ji, and now she can’t leave without him!'

'Yes, like MOTHER- like DAUGHTER!' Preeti exclaims.

Naina blushes. Vijay gives her bag of clothes.

'Dad, that means all our stuff from Texas arrived?' She asked him.


'Of course beta, it came a month after you left for your honeymoon!'

'Papa,' came the loud call from the bedroom. They looks at each other, 'Oh no, ROUND 2!'
