Chapter 77--- my daughters wish



It had been 2 weeks since the dinner at the marine plaza, and Anjili and ritesh were at it constantly back and forth with the texting, they spoke about everything that they had missed out on in the past few years, every night at 11 ritesh would call Anjili and they would talk till the wee hours of the morning, meanwhile payal and akash were now excited that they were going to be parents, in a few days after their baby making process, the news came out that payal had been impregnated and was now with child, it was a happy news and nani was thrilled to have another grandchild in the house, the news was spread across London and there was a big party that was thrown to celebrate this wonderful news,  nk and la alos decided to take their relationship out in public as they announced to the family that they have been seeing each other for the past 6 months, and wanted them to know that this could lead to future involvements as well, after khushi had come arnavs wife la had decided that it was best for her to look out for someone else who would this time love her the same way arnav loved khushi, and fortunately she found that someone in nk, arnav and khushi were happy for them and khushi and la had grown much closer after la stopped eyeing arnav, in two weeks there was a lot of development that had taken place in the raizada khandan and things were going on fine
It was early morning and the first day of spring, little naina had 2 weeks off from school as a spring break, she was so happy like any other kid she too was excited to have holidays, she had a big plan that she would spend time with her dad and would watch cartoons all day, as she got up from the bed she ran to her parents room to find them still in bed, arnav and khushi were cuddling into each other and were fast asleep when arnav felt a hand on his face and some weight on his belly, he stirred in his sleep brushing it off, but as he did he heard a voice it said
Voice: wake up,
He wondered who it was, at first he thought he was dreaming but then the voice grew louder and then he could feel a little tug on his neck, unable to understand what was it, he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was his daughters face, she was sitting on top o his belly and was trying to nudge him to wake up, all his uneasiness vanished as he saw his little princess’s face, a smile broke on his lips, he rubbed his eyes and asked her in a sleepy voice
Arnav: hi princess how come you are here so early, its only 6:00
Naina: (excited) daddy wake up, its morning, you promised you would spend time with me, and take me to hamley’s to buy new toys (she tugged on him harder)
Arnav: yes princess I know I promised and I will take you, but not now
Naina: (on hearing that, looked down and made a pouty face) why not you promise
Arnav: (chuckled seeing here, she looked adorable, he caressed her face and made her look up at him and then said)  I will take you I promise, but not right now because its too early, see mom is also sleeping,
Naina: so we will wake her up too,
Arnav: no need for that, come here you sleep too, (he pulled her down on his chest and naina rested her head on it, her legs still on his belly, she didn’t realize when she fell back asleep)
After some time khushi woke up to check the time, when she saw naina sleeping on arnavs chest, both of them looked so adorable, although she wondered when she came in, as last night she wasn’t sleeping with them, she kissed naina and arnav both and went out to make breakfast for them, she then went to wake up the father and daughter dough, as she shook arnav up, he mumbled in his sleep
Arnav: princess I promise I will take you now go to sleep (he said cutely)
Khushi laughed and then shook him harder making him open his eyes, when he woke up he saw his wife was laughing at him, he was so confused at that and asked
Arnav: why are you laughing
Khushi: because you were mumbling very cutely in your sleep
Arnav rubbed his eyes and yawned,
Khushi: but arnav when did naina come here
Arnav: at 6 in the morning, she came to wake me up to tell me that I should take her to hamleys to by her toys
Khushi: (chuckled) oh that explains why you were mumbling in your sleep
Arnav chuckled along with her, khushi st on the bed and started to tuck nainas curls behind her ears and then she said
Khushi: she is so excited about this spring break
Arnav: (admiring her caressing her face he said ) khush for how long is her spring break
Khushi: 2 weeks
Arnav: oh that’s good, khush since she has holidays I was thinking do you want to go some where
Khushi: you mean like a family holiday, but where
Arnav: uhm lets go back to Barbados, the weather around there is nice at this time of the year it will be fun, (he said excited) 
Khushi: oh arnav that sa great idea, it would be nice to go back, I love that place especially because we found out we love each other there (she said dreamily)
Arnav: so then its settled we can go to Barbados by afternoon, you think you will be ready by then
Khushi: yes off corse (she nodded, and picked naina up from his chest)
As khushi picked her up she stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes as she rubbed them, khushi placed her on the bed and said
Khushi: baby wake up, we have a surprise for you
Naina: (still rubbing her eyes said) what is it mom,
Arnav: we have decided to go for a holiday
Naina: (who heard this was now fully awake and was full of excitement) wow holiday, that’s soo cool, where are we going daddy
Arnav: (smiled at her) we are going back to Barbados  princess
Naina: (gave him a high voltage smile as she got of the bed and then she said) wow to the beach, near the sea
Arnav nodded and naina jumped in excitement making them laugh and giggle,
Khushi got busy in packing their clothes, and arnav finally took naina to hamleys to buy her new toys, since they were going on the beach, he bought her a new set of sand toys that she could play with, so that she can build another sand castle a smile came on his face when he remembered the previous sand castle that she had built, naina noticed the smile and asked
Naina: why are u smiling daddy
Arnav: (who was in a trance looked at her and said) ha, oh nothing princess I was just remembering the sand castle you built the last time we went to Barbados
Naina: (smiled back and said in an excited tone) yes daddy I remember that sand castle that was the day I started calling you daddy, it was the best day of my life
Arnav: mine too princess (he hugged her)
Naina: this time I am going to build another sand castle and a bigger one too, soon one more person will also come and stay with us
Arnav: (confused) oh really and who is that
Naina: (innocently) my little baby brother
Arnav who was driving the car, braked as he heard his daughter, he stopped in a jerk on the side and asked
Arnav: and who told you that you are having a baby brother
Naina: well uhm, I hope I have one, I am praying to devi maya, for a brother
Arnav: (surprised, chose not to press the matter further, he said) ohk, (still recovering from the shock of what his daughter just said)
Naina: daddy, will you and mom give me a baby brother soon
Arnav’s head was now spinning, till now he had agreed to whatever naina had asked from him, and he knew that this time what she was asking for wasn’t wrong either, its just that its too early, he wanted to have another kid with khushi but not so soon, after all they had just got married 6 months back, he wanted to enjoy the feeling of just being married, but unable to disappoint his daughter he smiled back at her and said
Arnav: baby, when the time is right your devi maya will listen to you,
Naina: she will
Arnav: off corse she will, she listened to you the first time when you asked her to make me your dad, she will listen to you this time as well,
Naina: yes I will pray to her, (said naina excitedly)
Arnav smiled and kissed her forehead and started to drive again, when they reached home khushi was done with all the packing, she had put in nainas clothes and some toys in one suitcase and in the other she put  arnav clothes and hers, and right underneath she put in some of the new set of lingerie and some chemise that she had just bought,
They were ready to leave, but before that they headed off to rm so that they could say bye to everyone before they left, naina ran and hugged nani, and said bye to laxmi, she then said bye to her akash and payal, and the little baby inside payals stomach, everyone laughed as she hugged and kissed payals stomach, she even whispered something to it, and when arnav questioned her she brushed to topic off,
Arnav and Anjili shared a warm hug, khushi too said bye and then finally they all left for the helicopter that was waiting for them in the office heli pad
