Aariv's aura was reflecting the enormous elated rays of bliss. After glancing over his photo, his vision followed the another one which was opposite to the wall where his photo was framed on the wall. It was a photograph of a baby of nearly 5-6 months and a kid of 3-4 years of age. A cute chubby baby was sitting on the small lap of the kid. The photograph was taken in such a way, that the infant baby seemed to be licking and pecking over the cheek of the older kid, which was making the kid giggle because of ticklish feeling on his cheek and seemed like he was very happy while holding the baby in his lap and playing with her. Though the kid of his age were unable to hold anything properly but here he was holding her meticulously with his soft arms.
Glancing over the picture, Aariv was grinning ear to ear and moved towards the picture to have a better view. A flashback flashed in front of his eyes in a second. By memorising it, his mind went in the past.
______
Three kids of age around 5-6 years of age were quarrelling with each other to hold the baby girl in their arms.
One of them (Krish)said: "I'm her eldest brother, so I'll hold her and take care of her." he said in an elderly tone like he is the leader of the group.
The other said (Rish): "You are just five minutes older than me. What for, you are boasting about?" he said frowning.
The third one (Sam): "You guys back off, she loves me the most, so I'll play with her. I'm her most loving elder brother. You will trouble her." he said moving towards the baby.
Whereas the elders and their parents were amused to see them as the whole house was chirping with lovely bickerings and the whole house was surrounded by happiness.
Then, a cute and soft voice came from behind. "She loves me the most. You all are not allowed to touch her."
Everyone saw a cute, smart and an adorable kid who was none other than Aariv. He said while crossing his arms, his chin held up and he pouted slightly, seemed like he was not happy with their bickerings.
He was the youngest from all three boys. His accent was very clear unlike other kids of his age cause he was born as prodigy with various skills by birth.
The elders and three boys looked at him. The elders were amused to see his gestures while three boys frowned and said in sync firmly:
"NO!!!"
Aariv with a pout and teary eyes moved towards an elegant lady who was sitting on a couch , holding the infant and beside her was sitting another lady. The three male elders were discussing something with each other and looked at them once in while in middle of their conversations and they too were happy to see this happy environment.
"Aunt Sophia, aunt Bella ; see your kids are bullying me. Ain't I your guest? They are so rude." he said with a pitiful face who could charm anyone by his adorable cuteness.
Sophia in pretending angry tone said: "Krish, Rish, Sam...Is this the way you behave with your little adorable friend?"
The three boys again said in chorus: "He is not our friend!"
Sophia: "Alright! I'll give the baby to Aariv. This is your punishment." she said while the three kids frowned and gave the angry look to Aariv, whereas Aariv gave them a harmless innocent smile. But these three could see a mischievous gesture behind that.
Aariv was very happy to listen this. Aariv's mother Olivia, was also sitting on the other sofa, and was continuously smiling at their gestures. She was happy to see Sophia's treatment towards her son as she considered Aariv's wishes beforehand.
Aariv moved forward and Sophia gestured him to sit on sofa as she was afraid if he could balance himself. So, Aariv sat there as told. And Sophia made the baby lay on his lap. Not only Aariv but also the baby was quite happy. Seeing this view, Bella went to her room and returned with a camera.
Aariv started talking to the baby and said in a melodious tone: "Baby!! Say my name. Pweaseee..." he said tilting his head slightly to see her gesture. And in return the baby looked at him with big round obsidian eyes innocently.
He repeated: "baby!! say Aariv. Pweasee..." he said again.
This time blinking innocently at him, she opened her little mouth and said: "Aaa-i-v..."
She said with a broken speech but it was more than enough for an infant of just 5-6 months.
By listening to her, everyone looked at her while smiling. And Aariv kissed the baby's cheek and in return baby also licked and kissed his cheek. And Bella captured this beautiful moment.

With this Aariv returned in the present. Tilting his head slightly, crossing his arms he was looking at the picture like it was the most beautiful view to his eyes.
He had an amazing memory and these were the most beautiful memories for him.
While looking at the picture, he murmured to himself;
"I wonder, what would be your reaction if I tell you the baby sitting on my lap in this picture is YOU.....my baby girl!" he said amusingly with a smirk.
After looking at the photograph by heart content, he moved towards the bathroom. His room was one of the most prodigious room of his palace like mansion. It was designed as per his special taste. A huge room divided into many portions. A big study, an art room and there was a door opening in some other room which was his Lab. A huge bathroom was there in which a water fall like shower was introduced and all the things were unique and extraordinary. The balcony was embraced with greenery and flowery plants. A swing was kept there in the middle of the flowery plants. And there was also a huge telescope kept in his balcony.
After taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom, with just a towel wrapped around his lower body, while his bare chest was visible giving a view of most sizzling man in the world. His chiseled eight pack abs adoring his Perfect physique. His pitch black hair slightly wet was like the cherry on the cake. He was ruffling his damp hair using his hands and this view could make the girls and women of world go crazy and also could make them swoon by just a glimpse of this Godly man.
He went towards the dresser, where he kept the most bewildering thing which made him intrigued more towards his 'Baby girl' that was the pendant on which the most peculiar quote was carved. Taking it in his hands, he caressed the quote ("True Love is Divine but the Cupid is Malign"). And by remembering their savage encounter, a beautiful smile formed on his lips.
He dressed himself by wearing a black payjama and a maroon T-shirt with rivet heap collars. His every clothing used to become a quintessential and majestic by his persona and aura.
After a while, he came to his balcony and with a swift touch, dialled a number on his cell phone.
In no time, the call was received and a male voice came from the other side; "Yes boss! Any commands for me?"
Aariv: " I want each and every minute information related to the Watson family within a day, Lucas." he said professionally.
Lucas: "Got it, boss."
Being quite professional in his profession, Aariv's commands and instructions were taken as the royal decree by everyone except his 'Certain Acquaintances.'
After, hanging up the phone; he smiled and murmured; "I'll pull you towards me,Miss Wildest Lioness by hook or by crook."
