Abhira's POV:-

The darkness around me seemed to swell, growing thicker, wrapping itself around my mind. A throbbing ache started at my temples, spiraling inward, growing until I couldn't see anything but swirling shadows.

It was as if a weight pressed down on me, suffocating and fierce, keeping my eyes locked shut, my thoughts trapped in fog. I wanted to scream, but even my voice was stolen, leaving only a faint whisper-one name slipping from my lips over and over.

"Puchku," I murmured. His name was the only anchor I had, the only thing that made sense in the dizzying darkness. Saying it made my heart feel lighter, but the ache didn't ease and I kept repeating it over and over. "Puchku...Puchku....,hoping that somehow, if I said his name enough, he would hear me, reach out to me from beyond this dark, silent prison.

The pain intensified, stabbing, twisting until I thought I would drown in it. And then, as if my whisper had magic of its own, the weight began to lift. A wave of warmth spread over me, and the aching faded, replaced by a soft, glowing peace. I could feel something safe and familiar around me, holding me gently, cradling me.

I dared to open my eyes, still dazed, expecting to see nothing but emptiness. But instead, I saw him-Rajveer. I was lying on his lap, his arms wrapped protectively around me, as if he had been there the entire time, shielding me .

His face hovered above mine, his expression softened by concern, his deep, dark eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat.

"Puchku..." I murmured, feeling the comfort of his arms around me.

Author's POV:-

Abhira slowly opened her eyes, blinking as she found herself curled up on Rajveer's lap. He was gently massaging her head, his fingers moving with such care that it felt like he was afraid to break her. A warm smile spread over his face as he noticed her waking up.

She sat up clumsily, rubbing her eyes.

"Puchku..." she began, her words tumbling out in that sleepy, clumsy way of hers, "I has a bad night... my head was all... all 'ouchy,' and then... then I think I saw butterflies or something..." She scrunched up her nose, trying to recall, looking at Rajveer with wide, innocent eyes.

Rajveer smiled, shaking his head " hmm , I guessed it.Last night, you kept kicking me and turning around. At one point, you even jabbed me in the ribs!".

Abhira's eyes widened, her mouth forming a little 'O' as she stared at him, then gasped. "I did that? I kicked you?" She clapped her hand over her mouth. "pichku! I'm sorry! Its all because of the headache! My head was all dizzy and funny, and I was seeing all kinds of spinny shapes!"

Rajveer laughed, nodding knowingly. "I thought as much," he said, reaching out to gently pat her cheek. "You were definitely stressed, so I started massaging your head, hoping you'd settle down. And it worked-no more kicking after that."

Her face turned pinker as she bit her lip, trying to hide her shy smile. "Oh... um... well... you should have just told me to stop!"

Rajveer shook his head, laughing. "And have you kick me again? No, thank you. I think my arm's had enough exercise for one night." He held out his arm, flexing his fingers slightly as though it was sore.

Abhira noticed immediately, her eyes growing wide with concern. "puchku ! Are you in more pain ? You look all scrunchy!"

He leaned back, holding his arm dramatically " No , I'm liking it a lit, actually it's giving me a relief", he spat playfully with a grin, teasing her.

Abhira furrowed her brows, Her mouth dropped open, and without a second thought, she grabbed a pillow and threw it right at him. Rajveer catched that pillow and started to laugh.

Just then, a knock came at the door, and Aliya and Riya peeked in, carrying little Kiaan, who seemed wide awake and fussy. Aliya sighed, dramatically rolling her eyes as she looked at Rajveer and Abhira.

"Good morning lovebirds", Aliya teased. "I think you both had a good sleep at last night but our night was terrible because of you sweet little prince (kiaan) ", Aliya said dramatically, brown circle around her eyes due to lack of sleep.

"Please keep your little prince with you at nights", she said gripping her hands.

Riya nodded with an amused smile. "Yes, he wouldn't settle with us because someone," she looked pointedly at Kiaan, "wouldn't let us cradle him for even a second. He only wanted you, Rajveer!"

Rajveer chuckled, gently taking Kiaan in his arms as the little one cooed happily, immediately settling down.

"Ahah", kiaan giggled as rajveer holded him in hsi arms

Rajveer exchanged a knowing smile with Abhira, who was watching with a soft expression, clearly touched by how attached Kiaan was to them.

"See?" Rajveer said with a grin, bouncing Kiaan lightly in his arms. "This little one just missed us. It's alright, we'll take care of him."

Abhira, taking Kiaan's tiny hand, leaned close and cooed in a singsong voice, "Kiaan! You were all wiggly like me last night? You didn't let Aliya Aunty or Riya Aunty sleep?it's very bad kiuu , you should not disturb your others ".

Rajveer chuckled, bouncing Kiaan gently as he looked at Abhira. "Looks like I'm not the only one you've been keeping up at night, little troublemaker."

" It's good guys, these sleepless nights will be helpful before day of your exams and nights with your so soon husband's", rajveer said playfull to riya and Aliya, cradling kiaan

Aliya and riya exchanged their looks with shock and a little bit anger

"I'm not going to married soon , I want to become a doctor", Aliya exclaimed in anger

"Why? To kill innocent people or to kill the people who annoyed you? Such a cheap character you have ,alu?", rajveer Said, teasing Aliya and riya, Abhira bitting their lips to control their laugh .

"I'm becoming doctor to save people not to kill them , we the doctor try our 100 percent to save our patients even they are our sworn enimes", Aliya proudly said to rajveer, seriousness in her eyes

Rajveer signed "first you complete you MBBS, then you can become a doctor and to complete your MBBS,you need to go to college and study. Stop you movie dailogues and go to college and study well. Badi ayi doctor banne wali ", rajveer taunted Aliya playfully.

Aliya took a deep breath to control her frustration and asked playfully "how was your night", she asked , looking pointedly at Abhira who is busy in playing with kiaan.

"Why are asking indirectly? Why can't you ask directly that did we have sex? For you kind information, Abhira was crying with pain all the night and I was massaging her head", rajveer said, getting up from his bed.

Aliyaa and riya placed their palms on their mouth dramatically, exchanging eachother glaces.

Abhira was confused by listening to rajveer's words "puchku what does sex means?", abhira innocently asked rajveer, rubbing her temples , a dreamy look in her eyes

Rajveer just then realised what he had said and infront of whom he said. He didn't mean to say those words infront of abhira and Kiaan but he didn't realised that abhira and Kiaan were in that room too.

"Aa--abhira ... Tha...that means.....", he tried to say but words not coming out from his mouth and he uncomfortably laughed, glancing Aliya and riya with a wide eyes expression in anger on them.

"It's nothing but a type of eating lolipop and candy, ice cream and frankly it's a game like ghar ghar , that's all. Am I right rajveer?", Aliya covered up, signing rajveer to say yes.

"Haa haa , that's all Abhira", rajveer stammered, a little relief and shyness

"Then I too want it puchku, please. I also love to play ghar ghar game", abhira innocently asked, oblivious to the real meaning of it.

Riya and Aliya opened their mouth wide, In shock and gave a stinging look to rajveer.

Rajveer heart skipped a bit "Abhira are you sure?", rajveer asked nervously forgetting that she doesn't knew that real meaning and she is still mentally a child.

Then Aliya came behind and pinched rajveer hardly on his back , bringing him back to reality from his imagination.

"Abhira u can't ask it , it's a bad thing. You should not take it ok , orelse you will get sick and you cannot able to play with kiaan", Aliya gently tried to divert abhira .

"Ohh, then ok! I will not take them , only for my Kiaan baby", abhira innocently agreed and pouted, making Aliya and Riya to feel guilty.

Rajveer cleared his throat and eyes widening and make Aliya and riya send them gently out of hai room

"You guys go and get ready for college", rajveer muttered and closed the door behind them.

He turned around a , signed deeply, relief on hai face

And he went towards Kiaan who was raising his arms openly, signalling rajveer to hold him in his arms.

"Arey my bunny, you want  to come near me ?", rajveer playfull said , with childlike voice and lifted kiaan carefully and kissed on his fore head and sat beside abhira.

"Kiaan, see here ", abhira called Kiaan and started to make a funny faces, making kiaan laugh

"Puchku, Kiaan cheeks are like gulab jamun", Abhira said , squeezing Kiaan cheeks and kissed Kiaan cheeks

"Ahah", Kiaan exclaimed

And then maid came in and handed over a Black coffee to rajveer. Kiaan was still in Rajveer's arms ,and giggled, his tiny fingers exploring the soft fabric of Rajveer's shirt, tugging at it and pulling it closer to his mouth. His innocent laughter filled the room as he wet the shirt with drool, completely enthralled with his playful antics

"Hey, little guy, what are you doing?" Rajveer laughed, trying to keep Kiaan from squirming too much as the baby bounced playfully in his father's arms.

But in a moment of excitement, Kiaan accidentally kicked Rajveer's coffee cup, sending the warm liquid spilling across Rajveer's shirt. "Oh no!" Rajveer exclaimed, his eyes widening as the dark liquid soaked through the fabric. He quickly set Kiaan down gently on the bed.

He looked down, surprised, and let out a small sigh, shaking his head with a grin. "Well, Kiaan, you're determined to leave your mark today, aren't you?"

Kiaan's face crumpled and his tiny face scrunching up as tears welled in his eyes. "Waaaaahhh!", he cried loud , reaching his chubby arms out toward Rajveer, not wanting his father to go even for a moment. Sensing his distress, Abhira quickly scooped him up, gently rocking him in her arms .

"Shh, shh, it's okay!" Abhira said, scooping Kiaan up and cradling him against her. She rocked him back and forth, trying to soothe his cries."It's okay, Kiaan! Papa's just changing! Don't cry, little puddle!"

Meanwhile, Rajveer hurried to change out of his coffee-stained shirt, glancing at the clock and realizing he was running late for the office. His phone buzzed continuously with urgent calls, and he quickly pulled on a fresh shirt. "I have to go, actually i have a important meeting now but I'll be back soon!" he called to Abhira, who was still trying to calm Kiaan.

Rajveer left hurriedly, talking with Parveen, his PA in phone, hurriedly, forgetting to kiss kiaan and Abhira

As Rajveer rushed out, Kiaan's little heart sank, thinking that his father was upset with him. "waaaahhhhh , baa..!" he cried, his tiny hands reaching out, desperate for his father, as he thought that rajveer is angry with him as he spilled coffee on rajveer shirt and rajveer left hurriedly outside without hugging Kiaan.

After two hours

Kiaan, still crying, instinctively thought that Rajveer was upset with him. "Waaaah!" he wailed, his little body trembling with sadness and he refused to let anyone else cradle him, pushing away anyone who tried to comfort him.

Aliya, riya, rudransh and Abhira tried to comfort him but Kiaan pushed them aside and crying continuously for rajveer but they didn't understood that he is crying for rajveer.

Why won't he stop crying?" Aliya asked, exchanging worried glances with Riya. She tries to feed him a mik with his Baby bottle but Kiaan pushed it away.

Later abhira understood that kiaan is crying for rajveer and Abhira looked up, eyes wide with concern. "Why isn't he stopping? He just wants Baba!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry.

She hurried told Aliya to call rajveer and Aliya called rajveer and hand overed phone to Abhira.

"Puchku, please come fast, kiaan is continuously crying for you from two hours. He didn't allowing us to cardle him and dhe didn't even drinking hai milk. Please come fast puchku", abhira requested him , her voice trembling and fear in her face and her mother heart, wincing as she saw her son crying for his dad.

On other side, rajveer abruptly left hai important meeting in middle for kiaan and rushed out of his office and took out hai car and driving with full speed to reach home fastly for kiaan .

After five minutes, rajveer reached home, his face filled with worry for his son and his heart beat raising every second.

Rajveer entered in room and without wasting a second he rushed towards Kiaan and The moment he entered the room, Kiaan's eyes lit up, his tears stopping almost instantly. He reached out with both hands, making tiny sounds of excitement as Rajveer picked him up, holding him close.

Rajveer picked him up in his arms and scooped him in arms gently rocking him fronth and Back"ohh my bunny, don't cry baby, papa is not angry with you my little one", rajveer murmured softly, "were you waiting for me?" Kiaan tugged Rajveer's shirt tightly, his little arms squeezing him with all his strength , tugging Rajveer tightly around the neck. His tiny lips pressed against Rajveer's cheek as he planted a soft kiss, making the most adorable "Mwah!" sound.

Rajveer kissed on the top of kiaan's head. The little boy giggled, his sadness evaporating as he snuggled closer, making soft "mmm" sounds of contentment.

Abhira was gazing them , happiness in her eyes by seeing her son and husband bonding.
