"Good morning hubby, now wake up or else we will be late", I shouted,

"Just two more minutes, sweetheart", Raj requested,

"Ahh! I am fed up with your never ending two minutes Raj, since last half n hour you are repeating the same thing", I complained,

"Hmmm, you know na how much I love my sleep", said Raj while stretching his arms and getting out of the bed,

Raj encircled his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder,

"You smell so fresh", said Raj while inhaling my scent deeply,

"Because I just came out of the shower, now leave me and go, get ready", I said while pushing Raj towards the washroom,

"Okay Mom", said Raj and I giggled,

'Mom, oh shit! I forgot to wake up those monkeys, now we are definitely gonna be late'

I rushed downstairs and went inside the kitchen, I warm some milk and pour them on two glasses,

"Good morning beta", said Mumma,

"Good morning Mumma, you and Papaji are also coming with us?", I enquired,

"No beta, your Papaji's knees pain have increased, we will not be able to go this time", said Mumma sadly,

"Don't be sad Mumma, you can come with us some another time", I tried to cheer up her mood,

"But today is special, I really wanted to go, my Gudiya's birthday didn't come daily", complained Mumma,

"First let's go wake up your Gudiya and Guddu", I said while lifting the milk glasses,

Guddu and Gudiya are the nickname given by my in-laws to their grandkids,

Guddu aka Raushan, my five year old son and Gudiya aka Roshini my three year old daughter, they both are my little monkeys and I love them a lot,

Today is Roshini's third birthday and we are going to visit an orphanage,

It have become the tradition of Tandel's family, we celebrate our special day by visiting the orphanages, old age homes, etc,

After mine and Raj's wedding, according to his uncle's will, Raj get the ownership of his garment company, but he wanted to know the reason that why his uncle wants to give this company to Astha trust and organisations,

Astha organisation is an NGO, it helps the needy people and does many activities which is helpful for our society, and this organisation is commenced by none other than else but his uncle's best friend,

So after finding out the exact reason Raj became the trustee of that organisation and started funding them,

Being a part of Astha Organisation, we decided that we will celebrate our special day by doing social work like donating something or visiting somewhere, and we really enjoyed doing it, specially the kids,

I entered my kids room and became shocked after encountering the scene,

My son is trying to tie the hair of his sister and he is failing miserably,

"Mommy let's go we are ready", said Raushan,

"Yesh Mommy", said Roshini excitedly,

"Awe! My babies, first finish this milk", I said handing them their respective glasses,

After they finished their milk, I tied Roshini's hair properly and put Raushan's shirt button correctly which he had done wrong,

"Now you are ready, let's go", I said while extending my forefingers for each of them to hold,

They instantly hold my finger with their little hands and we went towards mine and Raj's room,

"Daddy you are late", said Raushan the moment he entered inside the room,

Raj came closer and lifted him in his arm and started tickling,

"Nooo...Daddy...stoooop", yelled Raushan while laughing hard and me and Roshini giggled,

We all settled down inside the car, both the kids on the backseat and I on the passenger seat while Raj on the driver seat,

I turned on the radio and Raj started driving, the orphanage which we are visiting today is little bit far, it will take 3 hours to reach there,

"We almost reached, kids be ready", Raj alerted us,

Suddenly, I saw a small girl standing on the top of the boundary wall of the orphanage, it seems like she is going to jump from there, the height of the wall is too much for her, she can get hurt,

"Raj", I said worriedly while tapping his shoulder and gestured towards that girl,

Raj stopped the car immediately and rushed out,

"Kids stay inside the car, we are coming", I said and followed Raj,

We both went towards the wall where she is standing,

That girl became scared and shocked after watching us,

"Hey cutepie what are you doing, it's dangerous, you can get hurt", said Raj politely,

"Yes beta uncle is saying true, you will get injured", I supported Raj and she started crying,

"Ale ale, don't worry we will not let anything happen to you", said Raj,

"Yes baby, you can see uncle is very strong, you jump, uncle will catch you", I encouraged her,

She looked at us confusedly and I lifted Raj's hand and showed her his strong biceps,

"She uncle's strong biceps", I said,

She sat down on the wall and Raj extended his hand, ready to catch her,

"Okay on count of three", said Raj,

"1...2...3..jump"

She jumped and Raj grabbed her while I breathe in relief,

Raj kept her down carefully while I checked her, if she got any injury,

"I am fine aunty", she said,

"Thank God! Now tell me what were you trying to do, it's so dangerous, thanks to God that we came here in time", I said strictly,

What to do, I am a teacher and it's my nature to be strict,

"Calm down Una, she is already scared", said Raj,

I looked at him and nodded my head,

Raj kneeled down Infront of her and smiled to cheer her up,

"What to eat something?", Raj asked her,

She remained silent and lowered her head down,

"Let's go we will have some tasty meal", said Raj and lifted her in his arms,

We came back to our car and made her sit beside the kids on the back seat,

Raj took us to a nearby restaurant,

"So kids what you want to eat?", I asked excitedly,

"Pasta", both my babies shouted,

"And what will you have cutepie?", Raj asked her,

She shook her head and lowered them down,

"Don't get scared, you can order anything whatever you want", I said,

"I will eat whatever you will order", she said,

"Okay, as you wish", I said,

We ordered 2 plates of pasta and one large pizza,

The moment our order arrive, eyes of all the kids lit up, including hers,

Me and Raj looked at each other happily, I served them and they all eat their meal,

"What's your name?", I asked,

"Sandhya" she replied,

"How old are you?", Asked Raj,

"Nine years old", she answered,

"Do you want to share your secret with us?", I asked hesitantly,

She looked at me and then at Raj and nodded her head,

"I don't want to stay on that orphanage", she said,

"Why?", Both me and Raj asked,

"Because I want to study, I have worked so hard and passed that scholarship test and won five lakhs rupees for my further studies, but..", she paused and her eyes filled with tears,

"But?", I asked softly,

"I wanted to study in one of the top school in town, using those money, but the greedy trustees, of that orphanage, took that money from me and included it in their donation fund", she said, hurt and anger is clearly visible in her eyes,

"That's why I wanted to run, last time I stayed because Priya Di explained me the power of study, how study can change my life but those greedy people snatched that last hope from me", she said angrily,

"So it means that this is not your first attempt when you tried to ran away", enquired Raj,

"No", she answered,

"Okay let's go", said Raj,

"Where?", She asked,

"Your not so good orphanage", said Raj,

"No, I will not go there", she said,

"You want to study, right?", Asked Raj,

She nodded her head in reply,

"My organisation will sponsor your study, but whenever we will find out that you are misusing our help we will take our offer back", said Raj and her eyes lit up,

"Really?", She asked,

"Yes but first of all I need to have some serious talk with the trustees of your orphanage", said Raj and exit from there,

I saw anger building up on Raj's eyes when he said 'some serious talk', I hope everything goes fine, angry Raj is very dangerous to tackle,

Raj stopped the car Infront of that orphanage,

"Una you stay with the kids, I am coming", said Raj and went towards the office of the orphanage,

I went inside and notice the kids of different different age groups are playing with each other,

Sandhya holds my hand tightly and tried to hide herself behind me,

"Hey calm down, uncle will handle everything", I assured her,

"Adhya Didi wapis aa gai", shouted a kid,

(Adhya sister have returned)

Everyone turned towards our direction and Sandhya holds my hand even tighter,

I patted her shoulder and blinked my eyes to assure her that everything is going to be fine,

She nodded her head and went forward to meet her friends,

All the kids including my babies started playing while I sat down on the bench and looked at them,

After sometime Raj came and sat down beside me,

"What happened?", I enquired,

"Everything is sorted, I threatened them and took the responsibility of her studies, If they will ever try to trouble her then they will have to face the wrath of Raj Tandel and Rahul Mittal", said Raj,

"Rahul?", I asked doubtfully,

How Rahul get included in this matter, I wondered,

"When I went to have a talk with the trustees, Rahul have called to wish Roshini, that's when I told him everything and he became equally angry and said that he will also help Sandhya", said Raj and I nodded my head,

After spending few more hours in the orphanage, we bid good bye to Sandhya and other kids and came back,

Now I am preparing my Barbie doll for her birthday party and she is very excited and happy,

Papaji have gifted her a very pretty red colour dress,

Roshini's dress 👆

"My Barbie doll", I said while pulling her cheeks,

"Mommy no", she said angrily while moving her little finger from left to right along with her head slightly,

She don't like anyone pulling her cheeks, but what to do?, she is looking so pretty and cute, I just can't resist myself,

Raj came along with Raushan and both of them are wearing matching tuxedo,

Raj and Raushan's dress👆

"I must say both my man are looking dashing", I complimented them,

Raj smiled and came closer to us and lifted Roshini in his arms,

"And both my girls are looking gorgeous in red", said Raj and pecked Roshini's cheek then my cheek,

Karuna's dress 👆

Roshini very cutely hide her face behind her little palms, while my cheeks turned red because of blushing,

"Like mother, like daughter, my sharmili's", said Raj,

We all left, to reach the party destination, to celebrate Roshini's birthday.

_______________________________________

A little precap to reduce further confusion

Raj & Karuna have two kids,

A 5 year old boy named Raushan

A 3 year old girl named Roshini,

Rahul and Kareena have 6 year old twins,

Two boys named Luv and Kush,

Karan and Riya have only one kid

A 5 year old boy named Dheer,

_______________________________________

All the guests are waiting for the star of the party to arrive,

The auditorium is beautifully decorated with white, pink and blue colour balloons and with lots of colourful ribbons,

All the kids are enjoying the funny dance of a disguised Joker,

Suddenly the spotlight turned towards the main gate signalling that they all arrived,

Raj, Roshini, Raushan and Karuna entered inside the venue while everyone started adoring them, all four of them were looking so perfect together,

Roshini and Raushan left the hands of their parents and rushed towards their cousins and friends to play with them,

But Roshini was stopped in the midway by her masi, Kareena,

Kareena lifted Roshini on her arms and said,

"Happy birthday Gudiya",

Riya also approached them and while pulling Roshini's cheek said,

"Awww my doll is looking so pretty"

"Bhubhu no", complained Roshini while crying dramatically,

(Bhubhu/Bhua = Father's sister)

"Okay I will not pull your cheeks but you will have to give me a kiss", said Riya while showing Roshini her cheek,

Without wasting any second Roshini kissed Riya's cheek,

"Masi also want a kissi", said Kareena,

(Masi = Mother's sister)

Roshini giggled and kissed her masi,

"Mom put her down, we also want to play with her", said a little boy to Kareena,

Kareena kept Roshini down and that boy grabbed her hand and took her towards the other kids,

But both of them were again stopped in the middle by Rahul and Karan,

Both Rahul and Karan kneeled down Infront of the kids and Rahul put a beautiful crown on Roshini's head while Karan said,

"Now you are looking like a princess",

"Hehehe", Roshini giggled,

"Dad now can we go?", Asked that little boy to Rahul,

"Yes Kush", said Karan,

"Hahaha, Mamu I am not Kush, I am Luv, Kush is over there", said Luv pointing towards his twin brother,

(Mamu/Mama = Mother's brother)

"You always make same mistake", said Rahul to Karan,

"Not only me everyone does, they both are identical, it's very tough to differentiate between them", said Karan,

"Yes you are right, sometimes even I get confused, who is Luv and who is Kush, but Kareena she never made this mistake", said Rahul,

"Yes because she is the mother, and mothers are super woman", said Karan,

Suddenly Raushan along with another boy came running and started circling around them,

"Paa please save me from Raushan", said another boy to Karan,

"Dheer, Raushan stop it, both of you will fall down and will get hurt", said Rahul and both the kids ran away,

"Oh God! These kids, they are like atom bomb", said Karan,

"Thanks to God that you have only one to handle and Dheer is a very sweet boy", said Rahul,

"What! Sweet boy and Dheer, he is her mother's puppet, I always ends up in trouble whenever they both from a team against me", said Karan,

"Hahaha", laughed Rahul,

"Why are you laughing Jiju?", Asked Riya while joining them,

"Wo...ummm..Riya actually Karan was saying..", Karan didn't let Rahul say anything and said,

"N..n..nothing Iyu, just a lame joke, ignore it", said Karan hesitantly and glared at Rahul,

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please", announced Raj on the mic,

Everyone turned towards the stage while Karuna climbed up on the stage with Raushan and Roshini,

"It's time to cut the cake", said Raj,

Roshini's grandparents came towards the stage with a beautiful castle cake,

Roshini's birthday cake 👆

Everyone gasped after looking at the cake while Roshini started jumping in joy,

Two waiters came and helped to take the cake on the stage,

Raj lifted Roshini while Karuna lifted Raushan and then all four of them together cut the cake while everyone clapped,
