He kissed her , pulling her more into him . Shehnaaz kissed him back with equal passion the love which was beneath the hurt was bursting out . She was longing for his arms , his affection , warmth and his presence .

" Tum kuch bol kyun nahi rahe ho ? Abhi bhi naraz ho ? " ( Why are you not talking with me ? Are you still upset ? ) He asked breaking their passionate kiss keeping his forehead on her .

Shehnaaz just left him and slept beside her daughter covering herself . He didn't missed the tears which rolled down from her eyes .

Next morning Shehnaaz woke up early as usual , Inaya was a sleepy head like her father , she don't wake up untill Shehnaaz bribe her with her favourite chocolate or promising to take her to the garden . She looked at her husband thinking she should maintain distance otherwise when he leave it will be difficult for her .

After preparing breakfast Shehnaaz entered the room to see , the father daughter duo were still sleeping in same way . Without disturbing sidharth sleep she woke Inaya and for the first time Inaya didn't throw any tanturms and woke up searching for her father " Baba , Ami " .

( Dad , mom )

" Baba yahi hai dekho , so re hai chalo jalde se fresh ho jate hai phir apka yummy yummy breakfast karna hai na " she said , her heart ached seeing her daughter distress .

( Your dad is here , he is sleeping let's freshen up and have your yummy breakfast )

Inaya shared how she enjoyed drawing with her father , how she teached him , how happy she is meeting with her father . Shehnaaz insecurity raised again , she wanted their bond to grow and have beautiful memories but it will be difficult when he leave them again . She tried cooping the distance but how will her 3 year old daughter understand .

Shehnaaz was busy preparing lunch and ignored the stares of her in-laws . She needed to check on Inaya then feed her lunch , as she moved out of the kitchen and saw sidharth and Inaya entering the house with shopping bags .

They directly entered their room , Shehnaaz followed them behind . " Ami look I have brought new drawing book " Inaya said showing the sktech pens .

Sidharth woke up and saw his daughter sitting down on the mat and was busy drawing . An instant smile spread over his face , looking at her enjoying . She was dressed in white floral frock , two pigy tails done neatly .

The trio monster entered the room Aryan , Ahaan and Hafsa looking for their uncle . But when they saw Inaya alone on the mat they forget the figure on the bed and mischievously ran towards her .

Inaya was about to get up and move out in search of her mother for help but aryan said " let's play together " .

Hafsa took her doll which was beside Inaya , Ahaan took her drawing book and tored it into pieces . Aryan broke and thrown her skteches around , Inaya quickly got up to ran out but hafsa pushed making her fall down on the floor . It all happened in second that it took sidharth a minute to understand what just happened .

Inaya cries brought him back as he quickly got out of the bed . " Inaya " calling her , listening their uncle voice the trio eye widen .

" Ye kya batamizi thi ? Choti behen hai vo tumare . Kyun mara Inaya ko " he asked angrily taking Inaya in his arms and caressing her back while kissing her head to calm her down . He checked her for injury their was small scratches on her leg .

( She is your younger sister , why are you misbehaving with her . Why did you hit her ? )

The trio ran out of the room , sidharth tried to stop her cries , Inaya cried silently in his neck . " Inaya stop crying bacha , your strong baby . Kuch nahi hua baba hai na aapke pass " he said wiping her tears .

Sidharth distracted Inaya with new toys he brought for her and shown some pictures and videos on his phone . Inaya looked at her drawing book sadly which was tored , he said kissing her head " We will buy a new one baba , don't be sad or upset " .

Sidharth mother and his elder sister sumiaya entered his room . " Did you yelled at kids " .

" They misbehaved with Inaya and pushed her " sidharth said .

" They are kids , they fight then play together . Why did you yell at them ? " his mother said .

" Look at her leg , they pushed her and were about to pull her hairs if I didn't stopped them " he said controlling his angry . It was too much for him to see his daughter go through the bully in her own house . She is not safe in her own place .

" I don't accept this type of behaviour with my daughter " he said firmly .

***

Sidharth was lost in thoughts . He remembered their tiff , he fought with Shehnaaz over this topic when she informed him how the kids bully Inaya and elders don't stop them saying they are kids and this boost them to go a step ahead everytime .

He didn't understand the depth of mistake he had committed not understanding his wife and supporting her . Shehnaaz expected him to be on her side but everytime he made her compramise untill she lost her patience and surrendered saying " From now the people nor this house is mine , I'm living here just for my daughter . I have only her " these were her last words and after that she stopped complaining and he thought everything is fine .

***

He regrets not taking stand for his wife , " she kept saying but I didn't listen to her thinking elders of my house will never let any harm to them but you people " saying he took Inaya in his arms and left the house . He needs to apology , earn her trust and love back .

" Mom they broke my favourite skteches so dad brought me new one " Inaya said showing her new colour pencils .

Shehnaaz was looking at the mess around their room , then her fall on sidharth who was looking at her with guilt . She immediately shifted her attention towards Inaya asking " Are you fine ? " .

Her question made sidharth feel a stab in his heart . His fear turned true , they don't feel home nor safe in this house .
