Chocolate, ice-cream and milkshake

  "No they are not devil's but, they give me a hard time. One doesn't want to get out of bed and the other says silly reasons for not getting out of bed even after being awake, one is a bookworm while the other one is a game lover. See my sisters they will wake up by themselves and then they will get ready too. So having a sister is a real blessing," I said to which everyone smiled.

     "Oh bhai, so now you want a sister and you don't need us?" Deep said.

     "Oh, my possessive brother is back," I mumbled to myself and then said,

      "Who said I don't need you? I said we all need one more sister so we all can pamper her," I said to which they all said,

      "Yes, I agree with bhai. There are a total of 5 boys and only 2 girls. We want another sister," Madhav said.

       "Fine, fine, let's stop this discussion here.. Nothing is in our hands. We can't decide the gender of an unborn baby, we can only pray that we need a baby girl. So, stop this fight here," mom stopped all of us. We nodded our heads and agreed with her. 

      "Now, come move on from here and complete your works," Chachi said and we all moved from there.

      We all kids are in a happy moment. We are gonna get another brother or sister very soon. I said I need a sister but, to be frank even if it's a boy we will pamper him. I don't know why my heart is saying that I am gonna get a sister again. This happened when my both sisters were baby girls and princess time also. I felt an invisible connection with them even before they came to this earth. After that today also I am feeling the same connection and the same vibes. I will be happier if this comes true. I will love her and pamper her more. I want her to be like me, a complete Xerox of me. Aargh, what I am thinking? She or he, whoever it is, is my sibling. But, my heart is not at all ready to accept a boy. I sighed and then opened my books. On this whole earth, only this can stop my mind and heart. I indulged myself in it without observing the time.

Adeep Pov:

     Yes, me, Aadhav and Adeep are triplets. We love to call him bhai as he is one minute older than us and for all of us, he is so important. Even if he is just only ten years old, his way of thinking and level of understanding of others, and his maturity levels are more. He knows how to handle every situation and how to make all of us agree to what he said 

     Today when we got to know about Mom being pregnant he is feeling something strange. We felt his feelings like this when our both sisters were in mom's womb. I and Madhav can feel his every emotion and maybe it's called triplets bonding. He is happy and he even said that he needs a sister as he got irritated with us. We were arguing with each other when Mom asked us to stop this fighting. We all went into silent mode and then came back to our rooms. 

     When I was about to enter the room I heard voices behind me calling,

     "Bhai," hearing that voice I turned back only to find Aadhya, Chaya and Jagat were standing.

      "What happened?" I questioned them.

       "Bhai, I need chocolate," Jagat said.

       "Bhai, I need ice cream," Aadhya said. I looked at them and then I questioned Chaya,

     "Why are you silent? what do you need?"

      "Bhai, I need a KitKat milkshake," she answered with a lot of excitement on her face.

     "So,  go and get it from the fridge and Chaya go and ask Chachi, she will prepare it for you," I said.

     "Bhai, the truth is we already checked the refrigerator but there are no chocolates or ice cream at home," they said in unison.

     "How will they remain? When you all are eating like a panda," Chachi said from behind and I stopped my laugh hearing her words.

    "Mom, Chachi," they 3 said in unison.

      "What? Why are all of you shouting?" she questioned them.

      "But, we need chocolate and ice cream, Mom," Jagat said to her with a puppy look on his face.

       "Stop looking like that. I am going out with your dad now. I will bring them while coming back. Now go to your rooms and complete your work,". Chachi said and they nodded and went back to their rooms and I also went back to my room.

     "Why are you all still in home clothes? Why are you not ready for school?"

          "Dad today is Saturday, a week off for us," Adwith replied and then I remembered that today is Saturday.

          "Oh yeah, I forgot," I said and then we all had our breakfast.

       "We have a scan today. We are leaving for the hospital," I said to them.

         "I have work to be done in the company I am also leaving to the company," my brother said.

        "I will accompany you to the hospital," his wife said.

       "Dad, I also want to come to the hospital," Adwith said.

        "What will you do there? Stay at home and take care of them," I said.

         We all left home at the same time and the kids were at home. Adwith can take care of them. I don't need to worry about them. We went into the hospital and took a token and went inside. 

        "Please take your seat, sir, I will call once your number Comes," the nurse said and then we took a seat. After 20 minutes she called our number and then we went inside. 

       The doctor applied some gel on her bump and then she applied it on the machine too. She started to rub on my stomach and then showed me the baby. 

        "Everything is fine sir. The baby's growth is also good," the doctor said. She prescribed more medicine and asked us to have a proper diet and rest.

       "Doctor, are you sure it's only a baby?" I questioned her ..  

  

      "Yes sir, I it thoroughly it's only a baby no more I found," she said and I nodded my head. We moved out of the hospital and went towards the car. 

      "I want to eat ice cream," she said and then we went to a parlor and had it. Then we went home.

Adwith Pov:

       Mom is in her 5th month now and I still have to wait. I want to hold the baby. I don't know who the baby was, whether a boy or a girl, but whoever they are, they will be pampered by me. My heart was saying it's a girl and I wish it was true.

  

       Today Mom and Dad went to the hospital for a scan. I wanted to go but Dad said no. I was thinking about something and I didn't notice my sister's. They came and shrugged at me. I came out of my thoughts and looked at them and asked,

     "Bhai, let's play," they said.

     "Ok, where are the others?" I questioned.

  

      "In their rooms," the princess replied.

       "Then go and call them," I said to them and she went to call them. After 5 minutes everyone came and we all played some random games.

      "I want to eat Ice cream," the princess said.

       "Go and get from the refrigerator," I said and she nodded Brightly and ran from there. But, she came back with a sad face.

       "What happened? Why are you looking sad?" I questioned her.

        "There is no Ice cream," she said.

        "Where will it come from when you and your sister finished it last night?" Adeep questioned.

         "Last night? Did you eat it last night too?  Now no more for you," I said to which she pouted and sat with a sad face.

        "Change that face," I said.

         "I want ice cream," she said.

         "I said no means no, don't ask again and come play or else I will go," I said to which she changed her expression and started playing again.

         "You all keep playing, I will be back in a minute," I said to them and stood from there. I went to the living room and then I called my parents to find out where they were.

        "Hello," Dad answered the call.

        "Dad, where are you? What did the doctor say?" I questioned him.

         "We are just completed now.. Everything is fine now..we are starting to home," Dad said.

         "Dad, while you are coming please get some ice cream," I said.

         "Ice cream?" he questioned me.

        "Yes Dad, Princess is asking for it. But, don't say to her," I said.

        "Then why you are asking me to get it?" he questioned and then I replied,

         "She ate yesterday night, that's why."

           He said ok and hung up the call. Then I remembered I forgot to ask about whether mom is having twins or triplets this time. They will be back home and then I can ask.I thought to myself and went to them.
