39.

As soon as abhimanyu held his angel in his arms he couldn't control his tears. It was a very different feeling he was feeling at the moment. He felt complete as a human. Just holding his daughter he wanted to protect his angel from the whole world. He looked at ishika and back at his angel "thank you love it's the best feeling to be a father"

He walks to Ishika holding his angel and kisses Ishika's forehead. Ishika smiles "her eyes are just like you.. I always wanted our children to have your eyes" abhimanyu frowns "why?" Ishika shrugs, "your eyes are beautiful and attractive. I want my baby to have attractive eyes too." Abhimanyu chuckles and soon one by one everyone walks in.

Ananya took on duty to sanitize everyone's hands before touching the baby. Neel came with his long time girlfriend which he hid from everyone. "Maa kittu choti si h yei" (mother how tiny is she) ananya said while holding the baby, she and raghav have just started dating , like things are slow but steady.

Radhika smiles and pats Ishika's head. "Now your responsibility has increased, bache" ishika nods and holds the baby. "Have you guys decided the names?" arjun asked looking at abhimanyu. Ishika and abhimanyu nods in unison "so what is it?"

"Mishika" ishika and abhimanyu spoke in unison. Everyone loved the name and as usual jalebi were distributed in the whole hospital.

6 months later:

Mishika was 6 months old and the apple of everyone's eyes. Swanandi too gave good news and she was 5 months preggy. Mishika had started crawling and the girl was just naughty , she would crawl in the whole house and make everyone run behind her.

Right now Ishika was playing with Mishika as everyone else was at work. "Bhabhi.." they heard Ananya scream and gathered the whole house around her. Ishika picks Mishika and walks to her. "What happened, why are you yelling" swanandi spoke walking slowly as she too has a baby bump now.

Ananya excitedly showed her ring finger which had a diamond ring. "Raghav proposed me" as soon as ananya spoke wide smiles formed on ishika and Swanandi's face. "Yeahh finally" swanandi was about to run to hug ananya but armaan held her hand "calm down girl you have a baby now let her come to hug you"

Swanandi looked at armaan wanting to kill him but he was right so she just stood at her place ananya walked to her and hugged her. "Happy bhabhi" swanandi nods while armaan walks to raghav "you better treat my sister well" armaan spoke sternly like a big brother to which raghav just nods. "Don't worry about that" raghav was a man with few words. He doesn't talk much, unless it's Ananya he doesn't talk much.

Everyone was celebrating , Abhimanyu too came back from work after getting the good news. As soon as he walked in, Mishika forwarded her hand for Abhimanyu to pick her up "d..da..dada" everyone's eyes widened hearing dada from her. Abhimanyu quickly took mishika in his arms. "Angel say it again"

"D..dada" abhimanyu smiles wide and kisses her forehead. Ishika pouts because it was a bet between Abhimanyu and her, but she was happy her baby was finally starting to speak. Everyone were recovering from mishika's dada , "mu.maa" mishika spoke maa too at the same day. Ishika's eyes widened and she cups mishika's cheeks "baby sat it again"

"Maa" she muttered again and mishika started crying. It was too much work for her to say two words a day. Abhimanyu rocked her back and forth "noo bacha don't cry lets go its your time to sleep" abhimanyu and ishika went to their room.

Armaan and swanandi too went to their room. Swanandi was sulking cause she wanted to eat panipuri but this dude was not allowing her to eat. "Why are you sulking?" Armaan asked as he couldn't take his wife's silence. "You unromantic fool i want to eat pani puri" armaan sighed "but it's unhygienic"

"But unhygienic pani puri tastes the best" armaan couldn't convince her cause swanandi was stubborn at the monument. She literally pushed him out of the room "go get me pani puri or else stay out of room." and she closed the door on his face. Not having any other option he went to Ishika and Abhimanyu's room. Mishika had just fallen asleep and finally it was time for her to rest. Armaan knocked and walked in the room, "bhabhi i need your help"

Ishika knew swanandi must have demanded something which he didn;t fulfill so now he is out of room. This happens every now and then since her pregnancy. She kissed mishika's forehead and abhimanyu stayed beside her. She walked out of room with armaan. "What happened bhai?" armaan sighed running his hands through his hair.

"Bhabhi nandu wants to eat pani puri but you know doctor has asked to avoid unhygienic food and now she isn't listening" ishika shook her head she always have to deal with this. "Umm do one thing you go make pani puri for her" armaan laughs awkwardly "bhabhi.. I don't know how to" ishika shrugs "why fear when your bhabhi is here"

And they both went in to the kitchen , ishika googled the recipe while armaan followed her instructions. After a struggle of 1 hour they were finally able to make pani puri. "Now bhai take this pani puri and get entry in your room" armaan took the plate but stopped and looked at ishika confused "huh how to you know i am thrown out of room?"

"This hasn't happened first time bhai" armaan smiles in pain and walks to his room. While ishika too enjoys her home made pani puri "jaan its not good to eat alone" abhimanyu spoke who was standing at the door. Ishika smiles and forwarded a prepared pani puri to abhimanyu "you eat too" abhimanyu walked to her and eats the pani puri.

"I knew the moment you left with armaan you both were up to something" ishika just smiles mischievous "hubby don't talk enjoy the pani puri" ishika spoke forwarding another pani puri to him. Abhimanyu eats it. After they both were done they walked in their room. To their luck mishika was still sleeping means they had time for themselves.

They both sat on bed , "jaan what do you think about adoption?" abhimanyu spoke , "you mean you want to adopt a baby?" abhimanyu nods, "they need a family too, i mean if you don't mind can we think about it?" ishika smiles , she knew the pain of being an orphan despite having a family.

"I would love to..adopt"
