Ammi's smile faded, but her voice stayed calm.
"Ladka ya ladki... dono mere liye ek jaise hain."

Dadi didn't respond. She turned,and walked out, leaving Ammi with her daughter -still too small to understand the weight of being unloved.

Just then, Vansh-still curious-wiggled out of Ammi's lap and leaned over the baby again, his face inches away from hers.
"Baby... tu kab baat karegi?"

And out of nowhere, with all the power in her tiny fingers, the baby grabbed a fistful of his hair.

"Aaaaahhhhhh! Ammiiiiiii!" Vansh screamed, eyes wide, frozen in place.

Veer burst into laughter. "Ab bol... biscuit deke panga le raha tha!"

Ammi quickly rescued Vansh, gently prying the baby's fingers open.
"Arre chhodo beta, abhi uske haath sambhalte nahi... tere baalon mein toh jaadu hai lagta hai!"

Vansh rubbed his head, dramatic as ever. "Mujhe yeh baby pasand nahi hai... yeh gussa karti hai!"

But a second later, he peeked back at her, a little smile creeping up.

"Par thodi si cute bhi hai..."

That night, the house was finally quiet. The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow over the room. Ammi was half-asleep on the bed, Haseena nestled beside her.

Abbu tiptoed in after finishing his work, careful not to make a sound. He leaned over, eyes fixed on the tiny bundle.

"Kitni chhoti hai..." he whispered, a soft smile on his face. "Bilkul Ammi jaisi lagti hai."

He gently reached out, brushing a finger against Haseena's cheek. She stirred a little.

Abbu couldn't resist. He bent closer and whispered, "Main hoon tumhara Abbu... aaj se duniya ki har buraai se bachane wala."

Just as he brought his face near to kiss her forehead-
CHAAK!

Two tiny fingers shot out and grabbed his hair with surprising strength.

"Arre areyyy! Oyeee!" Abbu froze, trying not to shout and wake Ammi. "Yeh toh sach mein mujhe pakad liya!"

Ammi opened one eye and smirked. "Dekha? Aapko bhi chhodne waali nahi hai."

Abbu laughed silently, trying to ease his head away.
"Arre chhoti si jaan... pehli mulaqat mein attack? Dosti nahi karogi pehle?"

Haseena's grip loosened just enough, and Abbu gently kissed her hand.

"Thik hai... aaj se tu meri boss hai."

He laid down beside them, still rubbing his scalp.
"Veer aur Vansh se toh maar padti thi... iss chhoti se pyar mein bhi dard mila!"

But even as he closed his eyes, the smile on his lips said it all-this pain was welcome.
