Satisfied that Ava was finally asleep, Janani wriggled gently away from her and slid off the bed. Armaan moved as silent as a cat as he strolled across the rug towards her. "A water pistol?" Armaan asked mockingly Janani gasped in fright and covered her mouth with her hands.When did he come back?How did he come in without making any noise?"Goodness! You scared the hell out of me" she said, placing a hand on her racing heart.She peered over her shoulder to see if Ava's sleep was disturbed due to her loud gasp, and sighed in relief when she saw the child sleeping peacefully."Don't wake her up. It's taken me ages to settle her" Janani said softly"I saw that" Armaan said dryly.Heavens! She looks like a teenager, in that ridiculous nightwear, her face bare of any make up. Gritting his teeth Armaan reminded himself what she was. A woman who stole a baby for money. Young, she might be!! But innocent, she was not!He has a dossier on her, which proves how much of an experienc

Next morning, Janani woke up at six along with Advi. Advi is an early riser.He wakes up promptly at six, will have a bottle and plays long enough to drive away his mama's sleep and goes back to sleep by seven.By the time Advi goes back to sleep, Janani would be wide awake. As usual Advi went back to sleep by seven. Janani took a quick shower and switched on the baby monitor before walking towards the kitchen. She also took her post it notes with her so that she could mark the direction in case she got lost again, like the previous night.As she entered the kitchen she started looking for the ingredients to prepare breakfast.She could find nothing in the darn kitchen other than the things she brought. "Payal" she called out seeing the house help coming into the kitchen. "Yes Ms Janani" the other woman greeted cheerfully."First of all stop calling me Ms Janani. Just Janani is fine" she said making a face and Payal chuckled "Okay Janani" "Now, why is this kitchen so empty?

Janani looked at the dress Ava is wearing in stark disbelief . Last night the child was only wearing an under pants.Today she is wearing a frock made in brocade cloth.Who dresses a three year old in such clothes? Maybe in the eighteenth century, the royal family might have made their royal babies dress up like this.This is the 21st century for crying out loud. She turned towards Mrs Seth, now Shaanima, for her name is Shanthi Seth."Shaanima, aren't there any other dresses for Ava in here?" Janani asked."There is a cupboard full of clothes for her, but all like this" Shanthi pointed at the dress Ava is wearing. Ava and Advi were now sitting on the rug on the floor and playing.Ava is being the momma and Advi her little baby. Janani opened the drawers one by one and checked what all Ava had got in here. They were full of new and exquisite baby clothes which made her catch her breath.Not in admiration. In dismay! Lovely though they were, these were what she privately call

Janani followed Armaan out of the kids' room. "Mr Verma?" Janani called out to gain his attention. "Yes?" Armaan raised an eyebrow in enquiry"I want to talk to you about something" Janani said hesitantly"Go ahead" He told her "It's just that, we need to go shopping." Janani said hesitantly not wanting to hurt his feelings. And his ego!."Right! I was wondering when that demand would come" Armaan retorted dryly, making Janani frown.But when she realised what he was implying she lost her cool.Screw his feelings and ego!! "Mr Verma, the designer wardrobe you have provided for your three year old little girl is neither practical nor comfortable. It would do your daughter some good if you could provide her with some casual clothes in which she can feel comfortable" Janani said equally dryly."Oh I thought" Armaan was cut off by the sarcastic look on Janani's face"Of course you will think! Why am I not surprised?" She asked sarcastically "Well, you do have quite a reputation Jan

"Cute family" Janani looked up from feeding Ava when she heard the voice and saw the sales girl who was assisting her looking at them and sighing, a dreamy smile on her face."Oh no. We are...-" Janani began to correct the sales girl but Armaan beat her to it."Thank you" he said with a smile and added "why don't you go ahead and bill all those clothes we selected. We will be right behind you" "Sure Mr Verma" the sales girl smiled and walked away taking the shopping bag with her. "Why did you let her think that we are a family? I was going to tell her" Janani frowned at Armaan "And have her advertise our surrogacy deal?" He asked dryly "You could have told I am the nanny" Janani countered "She heard Advi crying for you calling you mama. I don't have the time to sit here and explain the complicated relation we share" Armaan said taking the empty bottle from Advi and giving it back to Janani."Right" she mumbled reluctantly "Now come on. The shopping is over right " Armaan aske

After they reached home, Janani had him assemble the swings in the kitchen for the time being. As she pointed out, it's an easily portable device and could be hung wherever you want.At the moment she wanted him to hang it in the kitchen.While he and Aadesh were setting the swings, he saw Janani feeding the children who were happily sitting on their new high chairs.She had placed what seems to be their favourite plates in front of them.Because, like Advi, Ava too has her own favourite plates and cups from today onwards."Advi, don't squash your bananas" Janani chided softly, cleaning the squishy mushy banana piece from Advi's chubby little fists and started feeding him instead.They had the swings together by the time she was done feeding. And then cleaning up the kids, she slid both of them inside making sure to fasten the safety belts.They have set the swings in such a way that the children would be facing each other.She wound what looked like a music box for each swing and su

"I miss my babies" The older woman sniffed and Janani tried her best to console her weeping mother and deeply troubled father as the three of them were on a video call.Her adoptive parents have returned back after their two week vacation to an empty home.Janani hadn't informed them about her trip to Mumbai as she didn't want to spoil their much needed vacation. Because she knew very well, if informed about the happenings in her life, they would have cut short their vacation and rushed back home.Janani couldn't let her parents do that. Not after what they went through after her twin made a mess in their orderly life."Maa, Advi is Armaan's son and the poor guy has been searching for him for months" Janani pointed out.Janani was feeling sick with shame. Never had she lied to her parents before. Not about something important. They would be horrified if they knew she was pretending to be her dead sister and faking being Advi's mother. Nothing she says in her defense will persuade th

Janani paced across her room in agitation . What had come over her?Did she seriously kiss the man? Albeit, it was an innocent one. After seeing the sadness in his eyes when they were in the park, she had felt something for him.Who would kiss someone just because they felt sorry? She is an idiot. A complete idiot.And who did she kiss? The Armaan Verma out of all the people.And what would he be thinking now?? Definitely he would have concluded that she is on her way to seduce him.She groaned at her own stupidity.She walked into the washroom and splashed cold water onto her face.It might bring her to sanity.Because she is definitely out of her mind.Why else would she kiss Armaan Verma out of all the people?She dried her face with a fresh towel and looked into the mirror only to gasp.There, Armaan Verma is standing leaning against the wall staring straight into her eyes. He raised his left hand and rubbed his left cheek where she kissed him and smirked at her."What was th

TEN YEARS LATER Life became simply more colourful after the emotional reunion ten years ago. For Durga’s happiness, Gagan Ahuja disposed of all his savings from their hometown and moved to Mumbai, so that Durga can be near her sons always. He bought a single storeyed beautiful house a block away from the Verma Mansion. Armaan and Aadesh wanted them to stay at their home, but Gagan refused with love. ‘Only now we have gotten rid of this kabab mein haddi. Now it’s time for our second honeymoon,’ Gagan had said jokingly, pointing at Aaru. Though they were reluctant at first, they agreed on the condition that Gagan would always drop Durga at the Verma Mansion when he leaves for work. And the brothers started working from home more often. Aadesh and Shreya got married within a month after the reunion with their mother and it was the happiest event of their life. Everything went well. Shreya gave birth to a little boy after two years of her marriage and they named her Ishitha, in me

“Surprise!!” Aaru said and pointed at the two tall well built men walking towards them.Durga froze as she took in the picture in front of her.“Armaan, Aadesh..” She mumbled softly, as she stared at them in disbelief and shock.Armaan and Aadesh couldn’t take their eyes off their mother. The mother they both had secretly yearned for all those years, but could never voice it out.“Maa..” Armaan called out softly and that voice was an undoing for Durga.She stumbled at the impact of hearing her son’s voice after twenty five long years. Gagan held her, but she was unable to bear it all. The shock was too much and Durga felt everything around her going dark.She went limp in Gagan’s arms. Armaan and Aadesh panicked and hurried towards their mother.In a swift move, Armaan picked up his mother in his arms and carried her inside.“Aaru, where’s the bedroom?” Armaan asked worriedly and an equally worried Aaru guided Armaan towards the master bedroom.Armaan gently laid his mother on the bed

The morning was a sombre affair in the Verma Household.Janani had forced the brothers to the breakfast table. They were simply picking at the food without eating anything. Their eyes were swollen, with dark circles around them indicating a sleepless night.Aaradhya walked down the stairs with her luggage in hand. Armaan and Aadesh frowned upon seeing her all set to leave."Where are you going?" Aadesh asked, his face showing confusion."My goal is achieved. I came here to prove my momma's innocence. Now that my job is done, I am going back home," Aaru said with an attitude as she placed her luggage near the door.Armaan and Aadesh froze."You can't go," Armaan said harshly, and Aaru frowned."Excuse me, that's my decision to make, Mr. Armaan Verma," Aaru said, and Armaan closed his eyes in disbelief. The little twitch was taking revenge for the way he had talked to her yesterday."You have college, Aaru. You can't miss classes," Armaan said hopefully."I opted for a college here only

Janani tightened her embrace around Armaan, feeling the weight of his pain in her arms. Shreya, sensing Aadesh's distress, clasped his hands tightly, providing him with a sense of stability amidst the chaos.In this moment of despair, Armaan and Aadesh found solace in the unwavering support of their partners. Janani was grateful for her decision to stay with Shreya instead of going to her parents' home. She had even invited her parents to join them, ensuring that they could all be together. It proved to be the right choice, as Janani anticipated the unpredictability of the situation, knowing that she might have to return immediately if any emergencies arose while the brothers were alone with their new found sister.Today, that very scenario unfolded. After Armaan had called Jhanvi aunty, Aaru had urgently messaged Janani, informing her that things had spiralled out of control and she needed to rush back home.Upon receiving the message, Janani wasted no time. She immediately dialled

“Amaravathi Verma, your grandmother only cared about society and social status. She wanted Acharya to get married to her friend’s daughter. Acharya who always was an obedient son, for the first time in his life refused her demand. He made it clear that there would be no other woman in his life other than Durga..” Jhanvi said and Aaru frowned.From what she has known, the man didn’t love her mother enough. But here it is another story.“And?” Armaan asked.“And Amaravathi Verma hated Durga for that. She made Durga’s life a hell..” “What did she do?” Aadesh asked, his words laced with heavy emotions.Jhanvi's voice quivered with emotion as she continued her account, her words painting a picture of a life filled with torment and suffering."She isolated Durga from family and friends, ensuring she had no support system. Amaravathi manipulated Acharya, poisoning his mind against Durga, and filling him with suspicions of her faithfulness. Durga endured years of emotional abuse, constantly

Aaru's phone rang. All three of them looked at the phone screen. Aaru's face brightened seeing the name and picture on the screen, while the brother's face darkened.It was a picture of Aaru hugging an older woman.And it was written on the screen..Momma calling!!!Before Aaru could attend the call, she heard the sound of a flower vase falling down and breaking into million little pieces.She got startled and looked up and saw a furious Arman pulling at his hair in anger.“Armaan bhai..” She called out and he raised his hand asking her to stop.“For a second, I actually forgot that you are the daughter of that characterless woman” Armaan said with disgust.Aaru lost it hearing those words.“Shut up, bhai. Shut up!” Aaru screamed, shocking both the brothers.“Not a word against my momma. I will not tolerate it” Aaru said angrily, pointing her fingers at Armaan and Aadesh.“If you can’t bear a word against her, get out of here” Armaan was not one to give up.“I didn’t come here to stay

The next morning, Armaan, with his eyes closed, extended his hands and groped on the bed, trying to find the love of his life.He frowned when his hands encountered the cold side of the bed.He opened his eyes and then with disappointment, realised that Janani had gone to her mother’s place.“Damn!” Armaan muttered under his breath and went to freshen up.As soon as he got out after his morning business, he took his phone and dialled Janani’s number.“Hey… Good morning Maan” Janani greeted him as soon as she picked up the call.“I miss you terribly. Remind me to always say No when you tell me you wanna go to your mother’s house.” Armaan said grumpily, making Janani chuckle.“Don’t be so grumpy, Armaan.” Janani teased and Armaan huffed in annoyance.“I don’t know how I am going to start my day without your kiss and coffee.” Armaan muttered again.“Ah. Kiss. That I can give now. Muaahh.” Janani made the kissing sound through the phone making Armaan chuckle.“And coffee is also handled.

“Nooooo” Armaan was startled by the loud voice and he hurried out of the bedroom in worry.“What is it? What happened?” Armaan asked as he reached the living room. Every member of the family had reached the living room hearing the loud cry.“Aaru bua” Ava pointed at her aunt, telling everyone that it was Aaru who made the noise.“What is it Aaru?” Janani asked, hurrying towards Aaradhya, who was staring at her mobile phone with a disappointed look on her face.“Bhabhi… My college life is wasted” Aaru cried dramatically, making her brothers frown.“What? Your college life just started, Aaru. It’s been hardly a month.” Janani said with a confused frown on her face.“Yeah. One month of heaven it was. Tomorrow onwards, it is going to be as dry as a desert” Aaru said, wiping her non-existent tears.“Stop your dramatics and tell us what the problem is” Armaan said sternly.Aaru hurried towards Armaan and clung to him like a little Koala.

“You can just admit that you guys came to check up on me”Armaan and Aadesh looked up in shock and horror, seeing their newly found half sister, grinning cheekily at them.“I was not” Both of them said in unison, a dull shade of red spreading across their cheeks in embarrassment.“Aww. I am so overwhelmed with this love. I had grown up hearing stories of two elder brothers and I have always dreamed of them telling me bedtime stories and coming in to check on me every now and then. Finally my wish came true” Aaradhya gushed happily and the brothers shot an uncertain look at each other.Aaradhya dramatically wiped her non-existent tears and pulled both her brothers into a tight embrace.“What the” Armaan muttered and pulled away from her, feeling extremely uncomfortable with this open sibling affection. Aadesh’s situation was no different.“I will go lie down? Will you put the blanket over me, like those brothers in the movies do?” Aaru asked, batting her eyelashes innocently at her bro
