Armaan had his schedule cleared by his PA for the day.He got ready in blue jeans and white shirt. He tucked his black aviators inside his shirt and walked towards the nursery to see if his companions are ready to go yet."Shanthima, I have already prepared lunch. Please reheat it before packing it. Khanna bhaiyya would take it to the office for Aadesh" he heard Janani instructing while changing Ava's dress. She had got Ava into a pretty white T shirt with some Disney princess printed on it and paired it with blue shorts. She herself was dressed in blue kurti with white leggings."Oh my!! Ava and Jaan are matching today" Janani said rubbing her nose with Ava's Jaan. That's what Ava calls her."Ava Jaan same same" Ava giggled touching their dresses."Let us make Advi also wear same same" Janani said combing Ava's hair leaving it open with just two colourful butterfly clips pinned to the side.Janani then picked up Advi and got him out off the dress she had made him wear after his
A week passed by after their visit to the preschool.It was pretty much busy after that, with the admission papers and school shopping.The Monday morning came by quickly and the Verma Mansion is so excited at the news of Ava joining for school.Janani gave Ava a bath in the morning and got her dressed in a beautiful cotton frock, purple in color."Now let's tie your hair," Janani said, combing Ava's hair and tying it in two pigtails with purple color bands and placing a hair band finishing her hair style."Now for accessories" she said and took a beads chain and tied it around Ava's neck and also made her wear plastic bangles of the same color."Not ready yet??" Aadesh asked coming inside the room with Advi perched on his shoulders who was gleefully clutching onto his chachu's hair and hopping on his shoulders."Nearly over. Socks and shoes left" Janani said and she made Ava sit on the bed and went to the shoe rack Aadesh quickly examined the shoe rack. "There is no purple shoe" he
It has been two weeks since Ava had started her school and as expected Ava is becoming more active nowadays.She is expressing more, be it happiness, sadness or anger.Which reminded Janani about the incident which happened a week ago.****Armaan was sitting on the living room floor playing with Ava and Advi and a set of building blocks.Armaan being the number one in the construction field was making a perfect house with that.Ava pulled out blocks from the already made house making Armaan frown and started joining the pieces randomly according to her wish."Ava, baby ,that's not how it is done" he said, taking it back from her to place it back where it was previously set.Ava did not like it and pushed the entire house, making Armaan stunned at her reaction."Ava?? Why did you do that??" He asked, still stunned at the way Ava behaved.Because if it was Advi he wouldn't be surprised.But Ava was always calm.Ava started crying loudly thinking that Armaan was scolding her making him
Armaan walked into his house after a week being away on a business trip.He had been to business trips many times in his life. Sometimes to other states, sometimes to other countries, but he had never been homesick before. He took in a deep breath and the aroma of food from the kitchen hit him hard.Coming home to Janani's cooking is something he could get used to.It was past lunch time, but he could still have something to eat.Once done with eating a little bit of the food left in the kitchen, he sighed.He missed having this while in Delhi.He looked around and couldn't see either Janani or the kids.Along with that came the realisation that it's not coming home to Janani's cooking that matters.It's coming home to Janani and the kids that brings this warmth in his heart.The heart which he had locked away long ago.He is stepping into dangerous territory, he knew.He is not sure what it is he feels, but he is liking that feeling.One week away had been hell.Maybe he is feeling
"What happened to Ava??" The cold tone reverberated in the room Armaan stiffened when she saw his ex lover's sister."An allergic reaction. Bee sting allergy." Armaan said "And you have been careless enough to let that happen" the question was shot in the direction of Janani and Armaan froze. How dare she come here and blame the person who had been taking care of Ava all these days."I am sorry" he heard the tremble in Janani's voice.She was already guilty and blaming herself for what happened. There is no need to add on to it."It was not her fault" Armaan said flatly "Who is she???" The woman asked "I am her nanny" Janani said even before Armaan could respond and he looked at her jerkily."Shreya Iyyer. Ava's aunt" The woman introduced herself "Janani Trivedi" she said in a low voice "Shreya, was Ishana allergic to anything??" Armaan asked straight to the point "You mean you didn't know?? She gave birth to your daughter and you don't even know about her medical historie
"I will call Ananya and inform her that Ava would be on leave tomorrow" Janani told Armaan who was working on his laptop.He has opted to work from home for a few days, incase of any emergencies."Yeah. That would be nice. Let her take rest for another day" Armaan agreed "Armaan, I would like to join for work" Janani said She really didn't have to ask for his permission for work, but then he had brought her here and he had also paid off the debts in her name, so she thought asking him is justifiable. "Work?? Why do you need to work?? You want money??" He asked and her lips thinned into a straight line."Why does his every talks ends up on money" she mumbled to herself "What??" "No. I have been in touch with Ananya Mittal since Ava joined school and one of the teachers there is going on maternity leave. I think I could take up the temporary post if it is available. Anyways I have the experience" Janani said.Armaan sighed.He should have known.There is no way Janani is going to l
By mid-morning, Janani went to Ava's school to personally meet up with Ananya Mittal.Aadesh who got to know that, volunteered to babysit his niece and nephew, and informed Armaan that he wouldn't be coming to the office that day."Heyy Janani." Ananya greeted her as soon as she saw her "Hello Ananya. I came by so that I could personally thank you for this opportunity " Janani said as she took a seat across Ananya in her office "I should be thanking you Janani. I was in search of a teacher to replace Avanthika for quite some time. It's the matter of small children, so can't give the job to anybody with educational qualifications" Ananya said "Glad that you trust me with these precious babies" "Of course, I have seen how much you love Ava. And even if it's only been a couple of weeks I got to know you enough to trust you with the kids" Ananya smiled.Janani liked the woman.And she respects her too.Being independent and being a single mother is worth anyone's respect."There is an
Armaan picked up his personal phone which had been ringing for a while now and smiled as he saw the caller ID.Inder."When did you come back from your European trip, Inder?? Armaan asked as soon as he picked up.Inder is his best friend. They have been together at school and went to different fields for further studies but they always kept in touch."Landed today morning Maan" "You reached in the morning and you are calling now only?" Armaan asked "Had to make an important visit" Inder smiled thinking about the mother son duo who rules his heart now.He had been away for the last one and a half months due to some unavoidable medical conferences and medical camps in tribal regions around the world."Does this important visit happens to be a woman??" Armaan teased "Maybe" Inder replied vaguely shocking Armaan "Really?? You came back from a world tour and the first thing you do is go visit one of your flings??" Armaan asked surprised "She is not a fling, Armaan" Inder's voice ha
