We could see a little boy and a little girl sleeping, by hugging their mother tight. Just then, the room door got opened and a man entered inside. He removed his coat and threw it on the coach. He chuckled, looking at his little family who were sleeping in weird positions. His son was sleeping upside-down, hugging her mother's legs. And his little daughter was hugging her mother like a koala and and sucking her thumb. Avi moved to the closet to change his dress.

Yes, those three are none other than his wifey, Maya, his little man, Abhi, and his little bunny, Amyra. His little family. Abhinav is 4-year-old now and Amyra is 2-year-old.

He came out after changing his dress and lied down beside is daughter. He kissed three of their foreheads and slept hugging them.

The next morning, Amyra slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them cutely. She looked around and then her eyes fell on her daddy bear. She squealed loudly looking at him as he went to Dubai last week. She jumped on him and kissed his cheeks.

Avi who was sleeping peacefully felt someone jumping him. He opened his eyes and saw his daughter sitting on his stomach and looking at him innocently with her chocolate brown eyes which she inherited from her mother.

"Gool (Good) molning (morning), dadda", Amyra wished his father and placed a chaste kiss on his cheeks.

He smiled, looking at her and sat on the bed leaning his back to the headboard.

"Good morning, amy", he said, and bit her cheeks lightly, making her giggle.

"Dadda, oww", she said, pointing at his stubble.

Avi chuckled, looking at her cute faces. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"Mish you", Amyra said, snuggling into him.

"Aww, dadda too missed his little bunny", Avi said, cooing her.

Both the father-daughter duo looked at mother-son duo and smiled mischievously. Avi picked up Amyra in his arms and moved to the washroom. He brought a mug of water and threw it on them.

Abhi woke up with a jerk, hugged his mother tight, and started shouting, "Ah, Amma! it's raining."

Maya woke up with a jerk, and hugged Abhi tight. Abhi hugged his mother and nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck. She listened some giggling sounds and saw the father-daughter duo laughing at their expense.

"Abhi, see it's not raining. It's the work of your little sister and her daddy bear", Maya said, gritting her teeth.

Avi and Amyra sensed the danger and ran out of the room. Abhi and Maya, started running behind them.

Vani and Gayatri who were in the kitchen, listened some noises coming from the living room. They came out and saw Maya and Abhi chasing Avi and Amyra.

"Mr. Avinav Krishna and you little devil, how dare you to throw water on us?" Maya yelled at them.

"Amma, it's not me. It was dadda's idea", said Amyra, throwing the blame on her father.

"No, bunny, it was Amy's idea", Avi said, running for his life.

"Do you think that I don't know about you both?" Maya said, glaring at them.

Both of them smiled sheepishly, listening to her.

"Let them do whatever they want Abhi. We will leave them here and go to Thatha's house", saying that, Maya picked up Abhi in her arms and moved to her room.

Avi and Amyra stood there gaping at the mother-son duo. Vani and Gayatri giggled, looking at their faces.

"Dadda, amma leave", Amy said, crying.

"Don't worry baby, we will tag them along", Avi told her, making her squeal.

"Amy, come to nanamma", Vani said, opening her arms.

Amyra nodded her head and jumped into arms.

"Today, nanamma will make her princess ready", Vani said, rubbing their noses.

Amyra clapped her hands and kissed her cheeks.

"Kittu, bring her things to my room", Vani told Avi.

He nodded his head and moved to his room.

Gayatri and Vani moved to Shekar and Vani's room. Vani gave Amyra to Gayatri and moved to the kitchen to get her bath powder, milk and shea butter. Her granddaughter loves to bath with them.

Amyra was playing with Gayatri's chain, by placing her head on Gayatri's chest. She was about to place it her mouth when Gayatri slapped her hand, making her pout.

"Amy, it's bad", said Gayatri.

Soon, Vani came with the ingredients and picked up Amyra in her arms. She removed her clothes and gave her a good massage with shea butter and while narrating stories to her. Soon, Amyra got ready in a cute frock.

In Avi and Maya's room:

Avi came to his room after giving Amyra's clothes and necessities to Gayatri. He heard, giggles coming from the bathroom. He moved inside and saw the mother-son duo bathing and playing with the foam in the bathtub.

Abhi looked at his father and said, "Nanna, come and join us."

"Hello, little man. Remember we are angry at him and Amy", Maya reminded her son.

"Sholly amma. I forgot", Abhi said, biting his tongue. "Nanna, go away from here."

"You are late, little man", Abhi said, joining them.

Three of them had fun and finally came out after half-an-hour in bath robes.

Avi looked at Abhi and Maya and whined as they are twinning again.

"This is not fair. Both of you always wear matching clothes", Avi said, pouting.

(Maya and Abhi's attires)

"So, you also twin with your daughter", said Maya, while combing Abhi's hair.

Abhi giggled, looking at his father's face. To irritate him more he pecked his mother's lips.

"Hello, Mr. Little one, how many times I've tell you not to kiss my wife on her lips?" Avi said, glaring at Abhi.

Abhi just ignored his father, making Avi whine more.

"This boy is not all listening to my words now-a-days", Avi said, stomping his feet.

"Shall we go, Abhi?" Maya asked her son.

"Yesh, amma", Abhi said, grinning.

"Hello, where are you going?" Avi asked them.

"To Thatha's house", saying that, Maya and Abhi moved out of the room.

Avi rolled his eyes at their drama.

**********************

Abhi ran into Rishi's arms who was sitting in the living room and watching TV.

"Thatha, I missed you", Abhi said, kissing Rishi's cheeks.

"Aww, thatha too missed his Ram", said Rishi.

Rishi and Sakshi call Abhinav as Ram as he is a replica of their son, Abhiram.

Rishi looked at the entrance and saw Avi and Maya handling a grumpy Amyra. Though Amyra inherited her father's looks, she behaves exactly like her mother. That's why, Avi calls his daughter, little bunny.

Sakshi who is in the garden came inside.

Sakshi looked at Amyra who was cranky and asked Maya, "Why is she so cranky?"

"I tried to feed her, maa. That's why, she is behaving like this", said Maya.

"You gave birth to your updated version. This girl is more stubborn, naughty, and grumpy than you", said Sakshi, picking up Amyra in her arms.

"Amma", Maya whined.

"What? I'm telling the truth. You are hundred times better than naughty girl", Sakshi said, slapping Amyra's bum lightly.

Amyra glared at her grandma as she always spanks her.

"See, how is she glaring at me?" Sakshi told Maya.

Maya giggled, looking at her daughter's face.

"When did you return from Dubai, Avi?" Rishi asked him.

"At midnight", said Avi.

"Amy, Aryan is coming today", said Sakshi.

Listening to Aryansh's name, Amyra's eyes twinkled. Aryansh and Nitara are children of Arjun and Diya. Aryansh is 3-year-old, while Nitara is 7-months-old.

"Leally (really)", Amyra asked, looking at her grandma.

"Really. Arjun mama and Diya atta are coming with Aryansh and Nitu in the evening", Sakshi said.

"Yay!!" Amyra danced in her grandma's arms, making everyone chuckle except two persons.

Any guess???

Well, they are none other than Mr. Avinav Krishna and Mr. Abhinav Krishna. Reason, when Aryansh is around, Amyra ignores her father and brother and plays with Aryansh.

"Idhu and Ihu, not coming?" Abhi asked his grandpa, making him chuckle.

Idhika and Ihitha are 2-year-old twins of Sravya and Surya. Darsh is 4-year-old now.

"I will ask Sravya atta to bring them okay?" Rishi told his grandson, making him happy.

"Where is Nandu, maa?" Maya asked her mother.

"He is sleeping. I don't know, what happened to this boy? He is acting weird lately. He became gloomy and silent. He is not even eating his food properly. When we ask him, what the matter is he says work-related issues", said Sakshi.

Maya looked at Avi, while he blinked his eyes.

"Don't worry, attayya. We will talk to him", said Avi.

"Did you guys have your breakfast?" Sakshi asked them.

"Haa, maa. We had. Except that naughty girl in your lap. She neither had her breakfast nor drank milk", Maya said, looking at her daughter, who was busy playing with her grandma's nuptial chain.

"Amy, that's bad baby? Will you eat your favorite sweet rice", Sakshi asked, looking at her granddaughter.

Amyra nodded her head. Sakshi picked her up in her arms and moved to the kitchen.

Sakshi was feeding Amyra, her favourite sweet rice, when Aryansh came inside, shouting her name. Amyra gestured to her grandmother to put her on the ground.

Amyra ran towards Aryansh and hugged him, making him grin. Abhi went towards them and separated his sister from Aryansh and hugged him. Maya giggled, looking at her son.

"I asked a girlfriend for my son. Not a boyfriend to my daughter." Avi said this while glaring at Arjun, who had just entered the house with a sleeping Nitu in his arms.

"Your sons have already made Idu and Ihu their girlfriends", said Arjun.

Diya and Maya giggled, listening to his words.

Idhika is girlfriend of Vansh, while Ihitha is girlfriend of Abhinav. They are too fast, aren't they? Varsh and Vansh are 7-year-old now. And our Vansh is very possessive about his Idu.

"Whatever", Avi said, making a bad face, looking at Amyra who was playing with Aryansh.

And our Abhi is trying to gain his sister's attention by irritating her.

"Okay guys, I'll join you in the noon. I've a meeting lined up", saying that, Rishi moved to his room to grab his files and laptop.

Just then, Nandan came down in a hurry and ran outside of the house, making all of them worried.

"What happened to him?" Diya asked, looking at the door.

"Don't know", Sakshi said, sighing.

"Is it about, Isha?" Arjun asked, looking at Avi.

"I think yes. Mike (Avi's trusted man) told that he was meeting Isha frequently now-a-days", said Avi.

"Who is Isha?" Diya and Maya asked at a time.

"His senior", said Avi.

"You mean, the girl who proposed to Nandu to make her crush jealous?" Maya asked him.

Avi nodded his head.

"Is there anything that we should know?" Maya and Diya asked, glaring at their respective husbands.

Avi and Arjun smiled nervously.

"Is there any problem, Avi?" Sakshi asked him.

"No problem, atta. Don't get tensed, he will definitely tell you everything. Just give him some time", said Avi.

Sakshi gave him a small smile, though she was not convinced.

"Ammamma come, we will play", Abhi said, dragging her.

With that, Sakshi got busy in playing with her grandchildren. Arjun and Avi thanked Abhi in their minds for diverting her mind.

Maya and Diya told Arjun and Avi to handle Nitu and moved to the kitchen to cook lunch.

"Did Siri call you?" Diya asked Maya, while chopping veggies.

"Yup!! She and Pranav will come before Aashi's babyshower", said Maya.

Suhaas and Aashi are expecting their second child. She is 7 months pregnant now. Maan was first their baby, who is now 3-year-old.

It's been been 2 years since Siri and Pranav came to India. They came to India last time when Amyra was born. Siri has completed her graduation and is pursuing her masters now.

"How is Taara akka and the baby? I thought to visit her yesterday, but handling these two devils without their father was too difficult" said Maya.

"Both are fine. Oh no! I totally forgot about this. Akhira asked me to get her favorite donuts", said Diya.

"Yeah! We will take them in the evening while going", said Maya.

Taara delivered a cute and handsome baby boy 3 weeks ago and tomorrow is his cradle ceremony. And Akhira is the most excited soul of the all.

*********************

Everyone are sitting in the living room of Murty mansion. It's been a long time since they spent time together as everyone are busy with their work and kids.

Vansh and Abhi are playing with Idhu and Ihu. Varsha, Amyra and Akhira are playing with barbie toys. Darsh, Maan and Aryansh are playing with their toy cars. And Ritvik (Veeru and Taara's son) is happily sleeping in his cradle.

Maya looked at Nandan who was lost in his own world. She poked Arpita who was sitting beside her and nudged her to look at Nandu. Arpita blinked her eyes and messaged Nandu to meet her in the garden.

Maya and Arpita are standing in the garden folding their hands. And in front of them Nandan is standing, looking down.

"Nandu, is everything okay?" Arpita asked him.

"Everything is fine, akka", he said, giving them a small smile.

"Is it?" Maya asked him.

"Yeah, akka. Everything is fine. Just some work-related issues", said Nandan.

"Nandu, you know, right? You can share anything with us", said Arpita.

"Akka, trust me. It's related to work. If it's something else, then won't I share it with you?" Nandan told them.

"Okay then, we believe you. But remember that your family is with you", said Maya.

Nandan nodded his head and hugged his both sisters, making them smile. With that, three of them moved inside.

Maya went and sat beside Avi.

"Did he tell you?" Avi asked her.

"Nope, such a stubborn boy he is", said Maya.

"Just like his sister", Avi said, teasing her.

Maya glared at him and slapped his hand and said, "Don't forget that you have to tell me everything after going back to home."

"Will you let me sleep, if I didn't share it with you?" Said Avi.

"If you are so concerned about your sleep, then sleep in the guestroom or in the kids room. I'll sleep with my babies", Maya said, with a tight-lipped smile.

Avi looked at her horrified. This one week, he didn't have a proper sleep as he went to Dubai for a project. Firstly, he was busy with the meetings, and secondly, he couldn't sleep without his wife in his arms.

"No. How will I sleep with hugging you?" said Avi.

"Then who told you to leave us and go?" Maya asked, glaring at him.

"You know, it's important, right? Otherwise, did I go abroad for any projects in the last two years?" Avi asked her.

Maya nodded her head and placed her head on his shoulder. He is right. He hasn't gone out of India in the last two years. It was always Shekar who used to go. Avi used to handle everything from his office, so that his father didn't face much work pressure. It would be unfair, if she complain, as he is trying his best to balance his work and the family the same applies with her too.

As Aashi is pregnant, she is totally busy with her work. In these four years, they have opened many branches of "Slice of Dreams" in the main cities of India. And also, she is helping her father in handling the "Infiniti group of industries".

She is happy and content with her life. Two cute and naughty kids and her loving husband. The best in-laws and parents. A bunch of crazy friends and cousins, and a big, loving family. She has chosen the profession that she loves and is tasting the fruits of her hard work. What more could she ask for? There was a time when she used to scold God for snatching her happiness and giving her pain, but then he gave her double happiness.

She looked at her kids, who were playing. Their smiles lit up her world. She couldn't thank God enough for blessing her with them.

She was in her world when she felt someone pulling her saree. She looked down and saw Ihu, giving her a toothy smile. She smiled at her and picked her up in her arms. On seeing Ihu in his mother's arms, Abhi came running towards her, sat in his father's lap, who was sitting beside his mother. Avi chuckled, looking at his son. He couldn't help but reminisce about his childhood. He also used to behave the same when Maya was around.

He then looked at his daughter, who was playing with Varsha and Akhira. She is so naughty and a big attention seeker. She starts her waterworks if someone ignores her. At the same time, she is sensitive and innocent, like her mother. He is happy that he has succeeded in getting his bunny back.

Maya snuggled into her husband and mumbled "I love you," making him smile. He healed her with the smooth touch of his love and made her scars feel beautiful. If she is his weakness, then he is her strength. He kissed her head and mumbled, "Love you too, bunny."
