Writer's POV
Shivi was scared because of that dream.
Very scared.
The scare of loosing his Kartik.
She feels like Amaira's words didn't effect her.
But deep down in her heart somewhere she was feeling insecure.
And on that, her dream...
Which resulted into more fear.
Why she saw that dream??
Is it a sign or just the cause of chaos in her mind?
These thoughts were clouded in her mind.
And a strange feeling was there is her heart.
Her heart was feeling too heavy.
That's why she doesn't want Kartik to go anywhere away from her.
She can't bear his mere absence.
The need of him, increased with every second.
She was feeling like her heart would stop beating if Kartik leave her side even for a second.
But also she was feeling guilty too.
Guilty because Kartik now was all with Shivi and wasn't able to do his work.
She thinks that because of her Kartik was struggling too much.
She feels like being a trouble for him.
That she clearly doesn't want.
She never want.
She doesn't wanted to behave this way.
But on the other side that fear is captivating her.
She just wanted to melt into his arms and turn off all the bad thoughts.
She doesn't want to think this way....!!
"Shivu baby, aap yaha bethe.
I'll bring your breakfast" Kartik said making her sir on the chair across dinning table.
She held his shirt and Kartik turned back towards her.
"I'll also come" She said in an inaudible voice.
Kartik looked at her with soft eyes and then held her hand.
"Okayy sweeta come" He replied as he doesn't want to hurt her and was completely understanding her feelings.
She smiled weekly and followed her to kitchen.
Kartik looked back at her and smiled.
He picked up the hot case and bowl and Shivi grabbed his tshirt in his hand.
Kartik was feeling amused and tensed at the same time.
He tried to suppress his feelings.
Because he knew if he'll behave tensed, Shivi would get more worried and feel guilty.
He doesn't want her to overthink anything.
He walked and Shivi followed her holding his shirt.
He walked back to kitchen and she again followed her like a kid following her mother.
Kartik now was unable to control his chuckle.
He stopped at kitchen and looked back.
"Shiviiii..... Bachaaaaa yahi hoon meiii" He said cupping her face.
She pouted and gazed down.
He sighed.
"Achaaa chalo pick these plates and take them to dinning"
He said to divert her mind.
She took those plates and instead of going she stood there waiting for Kartik.
Kartik looked at her and sighed.
"Dijiye hume" He said and took those plates.
He turned to move and looked back at her.
"Pakadh lijiye" He added with a smile and Shivi clutched his tshirt again.
Kartik smiled and walked to dinning table.
He arranged those plates and Shivi was peaking from behind.
My Innocent Kiddo...!!!
Kartik thought in his head.
He held her hand and sat on the chair with her on his lap.
He opened the hot case and lid of the bowl.
The fragrance of sweet cardamom buns and hot chocolate bowl with whipped cream.
Just the way she like.
She closed her eyes and the fragrance hit the surrounding.
He know she loves this...!!!
He especially learnt to make this just for her.
A smile formed on her face.
KARTIK'S POV
Uffff... !!!
The smile I was waiting for since morning.
Hayeeeeeee...!! I adored that beautiful little smile.
My eyes got sakoon...!!!
My heart melted.
"Kartikkkkkkkk it looks so.... " She said excitedly.
"Yummmmmmm" I completed her sentence.
And she giggled.
"Why you are this best???" She asked looking at me.
"Again repeating sweeta, because I got the bestest...!!"
I replied hugging her and resting my head on her shoulder.
"That is not even a word" She replied laughing.
"Just like you, this word is also unique. And it is especially made for you , just the way you are made for me" I said tugging her hair strands back.
She blushed and looked down.
I smiled and took the bun.
I dipped that in hot chocolate and stretched my hand towards her, "Okayyy now taste it and tell me if you like it"
She took a bite closing her eyes.
"Ummmmmmmmmm" She said eating it. It feels like she is devouring her.
My eyes even refused to blink.
I am done just looking at her.
"Kartikkkkkkkkkk...." She said excitedly.
"I had never eaten anything this tasty" She said as chocolate rolled down her lips.
My eyes went on her chocolate covered lips and something happened inside ny stomach.
"I loveddddd..... " And before she completed her sentence.
I took her lips into mine.
Sucking the sweetness from them.
I licked that chocolate from her lips and sweetness filled inside me.
If I ever get diabetes, the sole reason of it would be my sweeta.
Her hands covered my neck and she let me devour her.
I always kissed her slow and softly, filled with pure love.
I pecked her nose.
Then each side of her cheeks.
Then on forehead.
Then on her jaw.
Then again on her lips.
I brushed my lips on hers and pecked her neck slowly.
Her breath were shallow and slow.
She giggled when I pecked her face with slow tickles.
And I smiled back.
I pulled back my lips and touched my forehead with hers.
She was smiling and so am I.
Seeing her smile made me feel like am in heaven.
Just her smile, and I feel alright.
I creased her cheeks and pecked her again on her lips.
And again.
And again.
I placed soft pecks on her lips and she giggled in between.
I chuckled slowly.
My sweeta is smiling again.
Ohhh!! It feels so good!!
My little baby...!!
It feels like I achieved everything after hearing her cute little giggles.
I leaned back and looked at her smile.
"See, haste hue aap kitni pyaari lagte hain" I said looking at her.
And she blushed.
"Nazar na lageeee" I said moving my hands over her head and turning on mine.
"Aapko lagne wali nazar hume lag jaye! Aur meri jaan hamesha yuhi muskurate rahe" I said
She blushed more and turned her head towards the table.
I smiled and pecked her head from back.
Oh I am never over from her!!
I can do this FOREVER!!
She took the bun dipped in chocolate towards me.
I looked at her and pecked on her hand.
I took that bite from her hand and made her eat that.
"Humara pet toh bhar gyaa" I said and pecked again on her cheeks.
"Kartikkkkk" She said.
"Sweeta..... Diet" I reminded her.
And she pouted just for me pecking on her lips again.
She formed a thin line over her lips and looked at me.
I looked back and gave her a tight smile.
"Pyaar aa raha hai aapar bahoot!!! Khaa jayee aapko???"
I whispered slowly.
And my each word is resulting in making her cheeks even more red.
She slightly hit my chest and replied, "Kartik.... Stop"
I pulled her more into me and her hands held my shoulder.
She looked at me and blinked her eyes.
I feather touch her cheeks and moved her hair aside, making her shiver under my touch.
"I have planned something for you" I said with love.
She gazed into my eyes.
"And that's what??" She asked.
"Ummmm" I said and caged my arms around her.
"We haven't seen any movie together since too long right?"
I asked looking at her.
"A movie??" She asked with confusion.
"Yeahhhhhh a Disney movie" I replied.
And she gasped in joy.
"Sachiiii..... " She exclaimed.
"Muchiiii" I replied with peck on her forehead.

"Shivu bachaaa, aap yaha bethein I'll arrange it" I said to her.
And she made a pout and started looking down at her hand holding kitty.
I turned around and sighed.
We are in the store room taking mattresses.
I picked her up and made her sit on the table near by.
I tugged her hair at back of her ear and turned around.
"Hop on my back" I said lowering my back.
She kept her hands on my shoulder with kitty in her hand and asked, "Sachi mei Kartik"
I pecked on her hand and replied, "Muchi mei sweeta"
As she'll get tired following me like this every where.
She smiled and wrapped her legs around my torso with her arm around my neck.
I smiled back at her and grabbed the mattress.
I arranged the mattress, soft cushions and light candles everywhere around the living room in front of the television.
I want everything to be perfect.
In a way that she'll remember every moment she spends with me for ever.
I don't want her to feel like I am not interested or not equally excited as her.
I want to be a kid like her.
I want to live fullest with her.
I want to make memories with her.
The memories which we'll discuss under a tree with a coffee in our 80s.
I smiled shyly.
Ohhh Stop it Kartikkk!!!
I scolded myself internally and got back to work.
She is doing something with my hair God knows what.
But her little fingers in weaving in my hair is giving me sakoon of next level so I didn't said or asked her anything.
I walked to her room and grabbed her coco and pikachu.
I headed downwards and arranged the sheets over it with beautiful flowers and lights surrounding it and yeah her coco and Pikachu are also a part of this.
I looked at it and it looks nice.
But something is missing.
Ummmm...!! I stood up and looked at it again to find what's missing.
And yeahhhh!!!
I got it.
The lights.
I took the remote and dimmer the lights of my apartment.
Dim lights with fragrance of flowers and shinning candles.
Perfect.
I placed my hand on her waist and turned that little panda on my back in front.
"Kartikkkk" She said in shock with sudden moment.
I smiled and pecked her forehead.
"What was my baby doing hmm??" I asked raising my eyebrows.
She blinked her eyes and then giggled looking down.
"Ayieeee... What you did??" I asked thinning my eyes.
She hid her face in my chest and said slowly in between her giggles, "Aap lagi cute lag rahe hain"
I looked at her in confusion and walked in front of the mirror.
And when I looked at my reflection my eyes went wide.
"Sweeetaaa" I said realizing in what she was busy.
And she laughed.
"Ha ha ha... Sorry kartikk" She said and laughed more.
I sighed and looked at her.
And then again at the mirror.
She tied my hair in three pony tails with pins over it.
Our house filled with her cute laugh and giggles and it feels like home.
I looked at her and my eyes softened.
She still is laughing and I smiled hearing her melodious laugh which is like heaven to my ears.
"Awwww Kartik, You are such a cutie patooti" She said pulling my cheeks.
I thinned my eyes and tried to maintain a flat face just to enjoy her more.
"Shiviii" I said.
"Ha ha.... Sorry sorry" She replied and chuckled more covering her face with her hands.
I looked at her and finally my suppressed chuckles left.
I too chuckled and hit her head slowly.
"Silly" I said.
And every corner filled with our laughs.
"Ohhhh Kartikkk my stomach is aching" She said in between her sweet laugh and I sat on the couch as I too can't control it.
"Ohhhh babyyyy" I said and cupped her face.
My lips touched hers and moulded with them.
I kissed her slowly and then we both took a deep breathe.
And when she looked at those ponytails again she started laughing.
"Am sorry" She said while laughing.
And I just shaked my head and chuckled.
"Achaaa basss" I said rubbing her back.
And she tried to stop.
While laughing her eyes went on the arrangements I did.
And She gasped in surprise.
"Kartikkkkkk, itss so beautiful" She said looking around.
"When you did this??" She asked with wide eyes.
I caged my arm around her back and replied,
"When you were busy doing experiments with my hair"
And she giggled again.
"Okay sorry" She said.
"Aese toh humare baalon ko koi chuye hume bilkul pasand nahi. Lekin hum toh hamari jaan ke hi hain... Toh aapko sorry kehne ki zaroorat nahi. " I said and pecked her forehead.
"Andd.... " I added and took off her evil eyes with my hands turning it to my head.
I can't risk my own nazar on her.
That's why I make sure to take her evil eyes off everytime she looks etheral.
No doubt she always is.
That's why I have this responsibility to take off nazar from her in every two minutes.
"Aapki is pyaari hasi ke liye toh kuch bhi karenge hum. Nazar na lagee" I said
And she blushed looking down.
"Now Ok Okk, Now fatafat se tell me what you want to eat. " I asked her.
She looked up at me.
"Except Ice cream" I added.
And she pouted.
I too pouted imitating her and she smiled.
Which made me chuckle.
Hayeeeeee....!!!
"Sayyy jaldi jaldi" I asked again.
"Ummmmmmm" She said thinking.
"Ummm??? Pizza??" I asked.
"With french fries" She added excitedly.
I smiled and replied, "Perfect"
I grabbed my phone and placed the order.
"Come, let's start our movie" And I made her sit on the mattress.
I took the duvet and covered her and kitty in it.
"Shivuu baby count to thirty and I'll come" I said hoping that she'll agree.
She looked up at me and slowly replied, "Okay"
"That's like my girl" I said and stride to the kitchen.
I grabbed her favorite flavours of chips and fries with popcorn and other things and went back to the living room.
"28" She said and I reached there.
She gave a big smile and I sat beside her in the duvet.
She kept her head on my shoulder and snuggled into me with kitty.
I pulled her and made her sit between my legs.
I caged her in my arms and moved my fingers through her hair.
"So which movie?" I asked.
She placed her hands around my arm, covering her front.
"Ahh???" She was thinking when we both said at same time.
"Tangled??"
And then she smiled.
"Okayyy Tangled" I repeated and switched on the television.
She snuggled onto my chest and I hold her securely.
She was munching her snackes in between.
And was giving to me too in between but I ate some of them as I can't always say no to her.
If she'll know, she'll feel guilty again. But the person who should feel guilty in this room is ME....!! NOT HER...!!
Her eyes were at the screen and mine at her.
My eyes are just locked at her changing expression with every scene.
It feels like she herself is a character of the story.
I smiled looking at her innocent face busy looking at the screen.
Her excited gasps, her happy smiles, and those nails digging into my hand at plot twists.
It's not that she is watching this for the first time. But everytime she admires flynn rider and Rupanzul with same excitement.
And I love adoring her.
I am just trying to heal her inner child who suffers a lot during childhood days.
I want her to experience every thing she wished for.
I wish I can make her feel these little things before.
Pizza too arrived and I asked Virat to give it inside.
I fed her that while she was watching the movie.
And I still can't have anything.
That guilt is still in my heart.
Haaahh!!
I creased her head softly with a promise to make sure this smile, these giggles this happiness never fades away.
When Rapunzel mourns Eugene,
there were tears in my sweeta's eyes too.
The part I hate the most.
I hugged her tightly to comfort her.
But one of the Rupunzel tears, which still has some of the flower's magic, revives him sad tears turns into happy one and a smile formed on her face.
I pecked her cheek softly and wiped off those tears.
In the aftermath, Rapunzel is reunited with her birth parents, and the kingdom celebrates.
Their love wins.
A happy ending.
The ending I love.
The ending shivi love.
She looked back at me and wrapped her hands around me.
I hugged her back and creased her softly.
"So, Happy sweeta??" I asked her.
"Yeahhh" She replied.
I pecked softly on her shoulder and we stayed there still for some more time.
I love being with her.
I was moving my hand softly and gently on her back and on her head.
When I realized she asleep.
I smiled looking at my little baby sleeping peacefully.
Shivi ke krishna ji... Please please no bad dreams.
I am praying you for that.
I made sure to make her feel peace and safe.
I caged her in my arms securely while she was sleeping just with a prayer of good dream...!!
I can't see her sad again.
Her breathe were slow.
Her heart beat were relaxed.
I pulled her more into me and rested my head on the couch behind and closed my eyes feeling her slow peaceful breaths and soft touch.
How perfect everything is.
And on the top of that.
She is happy.
My baby is happy.
And then something clicked into my head.
I grabbed my phone and texted
Mr. Gupta, owner of clothes showroom.
Hello sir! I need your help.
I want your best piece for
My Girl tonight. It's a get together of business men with their families. So do that accordingly. 10 to 15 best pieces would work.
He already knew her so I hope it won't be difficult to select a fit according to shivi's taste. And if
Sweeta didn't like anyone among them we'll go by ourselves.
And if I'll buy more than this she'll get confuse! So better I'll buy only this much for now.
I wanted to buy that by myself for her but I don't want to leave her alone and on that I don't want to disturb her sleep too.
Okay sure sir. That would be our pleasure.
He texted back.
I sighed and kept phone aside hugging my baby again.
I just hope she'll like one among them.
I moved one hand into my hair and realized her rubber bands and pins were still there.
I smiled and shaked my head.
I remembered how my sweeta was laughing looking at them.
I pecked her head softly.
I let them be there.
What if she'll wake up and get upset after realizing I removed them.
Oh Shit...!!!
Virat too must have saw them.
Why he doesn't reacted??
Yesterday's punishment??
May be!!!
Ahhh...!! I don't care anyway.
My sweeta was happy because of them.
THAT'S ALL WHAT MATTERS.
