Vanya's POV

8 years later

I come back from office after a meeting with client. 

Huff! Today had been hectic. Back to back three meetings which I personally had to take care because papa and bhaiya both were busy.

When I reach home Kanav is already there and the scene going on melts my heart.

My husband is in the kitchen with our kids and they are making-no-trying to make dinner.

"Aaj hum mumma ko surprise denge. Jab mumma ghar aayengi toh unhe itna saara tasty khaana milega."

(Today we will surprise mumma. When she will return she will see so much tasty food,)

Kanav said in a dramatic baby voice and both our kids yayyed with happiness.

He made them sit on the stools away from the stove and started looking around the kitchen.

I tried to hide my smile because I know this man cannot cook.

He always had a cook for himself.

"Papa hum kya bana rhe hai?"

(Papa what are we making?)

Tanvi, our daughter asked and he looked at her with a nervous smile.

"Mumma ka favourite dish."

(Mumma's favourite.)

"Curry rice!"

She squealed because she also loves curry rice.

"Nhi! Mumma ka favourite dish curry rice nhi hai. Unka favourite dish maggi hai."

(No! Mumma's favourite is not curry rice. Her favourite is maggi.)

He said pinching her cheeks and I couldn't contain my laughter anymore.

He looked at me like a deer caught in headlights.

Our two year old son, Jayant, made grabby hands at me and I picked him in my arms.

"Tum kab aayi?"

(When did you come?)

He asked sheepishly and I gave him an amused smile.

"Jab tumne maggi ko mera favourite dish bana dia."

(When you made maggi my favourite dish.)

I said and burst out laughing and Jayant too laughed with me.

"Seriously Kanav. Agar khaana banana nhi aata toh bachho ko galat toh mat sikhao."

(If you don't know how to cook food atleast don't teach the kids wrong.)

"Mujhe khaana banana aata hai."

(I know how to cook.)

He defended himself and I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Really? Toh aaj ka dinner tum hi banao."

(You only make dinner today.)

He looked at me and gaped.

"Tumhe bhook lagi hogi na. Khaana banane mai der ho jaayegi. Hum order kr lete hai."

(You must be hungry. It would be late to make food. Let's order.)

I chuckle and shake my head.

He smiles sheepishly and order pizzas.

The kids squeal in excitement and I go to change my clothes.

Coming down I sat with them on the couch with Tanvi between us and Jayant on my laps.

We were watching an animated movie.

The bell rang and I got up to receive the parcels.

I took the parcel and was making payment when I felt a hand around my waist.

Kanav was standing there with a hard expression.

What happened to him?

That's when I notice that the delivery man was staring at my top because I was wearing a tank top.

He glared at the man and he left hurriedly after saying a thank you.

I closed the door and kissed Kanav's lips briefly gaining his attention.

He smiled and we went inside.

"Pizza is here!"

I exclaimed and the two monkeys who were so engrossed in the movie suddenly lost all interest in it. 

Both of them came running to the boxes.

I asked them to sit back on the couch and Kanav took the boxes outside.

I took the plates and glasses for coke.

All the while their eyes were on the boxes.

Kanav's POV

After our pizza party, the kids slump back on us feeling full.

I started patting Tanvi lightly and she slowly slipped into slumber.

After a while I felt a weight on my shoulder and saw my beautiful wife sleeping while holding our son in her arms.

Both of them were asleep.

I picked up Tanvi and laid her in the kids room. Then I took Jayant and made him sleep too.

Coming back I held Vanya in my arms but she woke up in the process.

"Its ok. Sleep."

She hummed and slept with her head on my shoulder and I took her to our room.

I placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

I switched off the lights and laid beside her.

She snuggled into me and mumbled an 'I love you'

I kiss the top of her head and pull her closer.

"I love you too meri jaan."

We both slip into peaceful slumber.

The next day I woke up to an empty bed.

I look at the time and frown.

Its only 6 in the morning.

Where is Vanya? She never wakes up so early.

The bathroom door too was open that means she is not inside.

I was just about to move out of the bed to go look for my wife when she entered inside with a small cake in her hands.

She had a beautiful smile on her face.

She came near me and kissed my lips softly.

"Happy anniversary."

She whispered near my lips and a smile formed on my lips.

"Happy anniversary my love."

I said and pulled her on my lap.

She handed me the knife and she cut the cake together.

She fed me the first bite and I fed her from the same piece.

"Ummm! This is so delicous."

"Thank you. Maine nhi banaya."

She said and giggled and I chuckled.

We stayed in each other's embrace and then got up to check on our kids.

We entered the room and saw Tanvi sleeping while Jayant was already awake and was sitting inside his toy basket while the toys were scattered on the floor.

I chuckled and Vanya glared at my little baby.

I picked him up from the basket and chuckled and he giggled keeping a hand on his mouth.

Vanya went and sat beside Tanvi and caressed her hair softly.

Tanvi stirred and hugged Vanya and the two remained like that until Tanvi woke up.

I love how she wakes her up every time.

She smiled as she remembered all the things had happened during the past years.
