Note- AnuSeena have a 6 month old, daughter, Anaya. They are 3 years Married. Anubhav Is SP and Haseena DSP, after promotion.

"Ek baar phir soch lijye Anu...Anaya ko lejaana chahiye HQ? MPT ki baat hoti toh hum befikar le jaate", Haseena asked Anubhav. Her leave was over and she would be resuming her duty almost after a year.

(I don't know what is the leave system, it is completely Fictional)

"Khuch Mahino ke toh baat hai priye, phir Anaya badi ho jayegi toh Ammi- Maa ke saath ruk jayegi...abhi toh usse aapki feeding ki zarurat padti hai...aap kitne chakkar lagayengi ghar se HQ ke?", he answered squeezing her hands, comforting her. She was a little anxious of rejoining her duty and this was adding to her worry.

"Kisi bhi uchadhikaari ya sehkarmi (colleague) ki fiqar aap mat kijye vo sab hum sambhal lenge", he said and kissed her forehead.

She glanced Anaya sleeping in her cradle.
Life has changed a lot for them after her arrival. From endless waking up at nights, chance by chance, having almost no time for each other in initial two months to now, resuming her duty, making a schedule so that they can spend some time with each other. Their New Phase Of Life...

"Acha toh mere pyaare se shohar...humme na aap aaj bahout pyaar aa raha hai", she whispered, smiling against her skin, kissing on his Adam's apple. He groaned. Taking her in his arms he made her lay on bed and hovered over.

"Toh kya hai na patni ji...pyaare toh hume aap pe roz hi aata hai...lekin aapka swasthya theek...", she cut him in middle by placing her lips on him and kissing him softly.

"Mr. Overcaring, humari pregnancy ko 6 mahine ho gaye hai aur humare sare stitches heal ho chuke hai...toh..."

"Toh", he asked. Shameless. (Massumiyat nahi hai🤭)

"Urghh...humara romantic sa mood mat kharab kijye...phir humse mat shikayat karna ke hum aapko samay nahi dete", she mumbled angrily. He smiled at her frowned face and flipped their position..

"Aap garbhawashtha ke baad aur zyada pyaari aur romantic ho gayi hai", he said smooching her chubby cheeks.

Anubhav brushed his fingers across her face getting hold of her hairlocks and tied them loosely. He raised his head nuzzling and kissing her neck. She clutched his t shirt when he left his mark. Butterflies erupted in the pit of their stomach on the thought of making love after so long.

Staring in each other's eyes, their hands worked on their own, undressing each other. Desires running out of control, they showered each other with love. After an hour they lay in each other's arms, entangled in sheets.

"Anu...hum duty join kar rahe hai kalse...ab aap bhi IB", he cut her sentence in middle and said,"Priye, humne kaha tha na Anaya ek saal ki ho jayegi tab hum IB rejoin kar lenge...agar phirse physical test nahi pass kar paaye toh koi baat nahi...humare liye humari police ki wardi kaafi hai desh ki seva karne ke liye". He took a break from IB after her pregnancy news so she could be safe and he could give time for both of them.

"Zyada mat sochiye is baare mein", he said planting a kiss on her forehead.

"love you...Anu"

"Love you too, Anaya ki Ammi", he replied to her giggling.

Haseena glanced at the clock, it was 11 p.m. and then on Anaya. "Humara sone ka waqt aate hi Anaya jaag jayegi". "Dekhiye aaj toh so rahi hai aram se humari pyaari si beti"

"Anaya ke baba...(in a teasing tone) zara aap dhyaan se dekhiye...jaag gayi". He looked at her in cradle she was moving her hands in air and tapping them on the wooden sides of cradle, full of energy.

Haseena huffed. She grabbed his T Shirt and went towards her ball of energy. She kissed Anaya's face while she giggled and moved her hands hitting on her face.

"Anaya apne baba jaise adaate mat paalo", she taunts while looking at him who was wearing his clothes.

"Humne kya kiya? Chugli kyu kari rahi aap humari beti se?"

"Chugli nahi kar rahe hai...sach hi toh bol rahe hai...dono Ana- Anu meri neend ke dushman", she said. Anaya turned her head, twice looking at her parents and then laughed.

"Ye dekhiye ye bhi haa bol rahi hai", HM smiled looking at her angel. Haseena made her sit with support while she started playing with her hairs.

"Dusri buri adat done ki...humare baalo se chedhkaani...jaise ki hum khilona ho", she ranted, a bit irritated but later smiled seeing the father - daughter sitting with a frown on their faces.

Anaya's face matched exactly with Anubhav's expression as if she had understood everything. "Dekho Anaya, aapki ammi humse jalti hai kyuki humari harkate mel khati hai", he said making her sit on his stomach.

"Kya? khuch bhi mat sikhaye isse?", she replied. "Anaya apni ammi se bolo hum unse naraz hai, isliye hum unse baat nahi karenge aur aaj sirf hum dono khelenge...kyu", he said and held her tiny hands in his and shook them imitating to play with her.

Anaya giggled and lowered down sleeping on his face. She gripped his bracelet and started to play with it.

"Dekhte hai...kitni der khilate hai warna roz toh so jaate hai..."She said taunting him and closed her eyes to rest.

"Anu...iska diaper change kijye", she spoke her eyes still closed as she felt sleepy. "Ha ek minute aap sambhaliye isse", he laid his daughter on bed. From few days she has started to try to crawl, rocking back and forth on her hands and knees.

She lost her balance and fell on her back. By reflex Haseena's hand went behind her forehead. "Aree meri baby...raat ko itni uchal khood na kijye", HM requested her in a baby voice.

By this time Anubhav returned with a baby mattress and diaper. He cleaned and changed her into new one. It took him almost a month to do this stuff in the perfect way.

He picked up her toys and spread it out bed, playing with her. Haseena was looking at her two souls and smiled. In to time she slipped into deep slumber. Looking at her Ammi sleeping she went towards her. "Anaya Ammi ko sone do", he said and she looked backwards making a crying face, indicating she is hungry.

"Rona nahi...Rona nahi...hum khilayenge na aapko bhojan...aapki ammi ko sone dijye". Before she could cry he took her in his arms and moved downstairs patting her back.

"Hmm...toh humari Anaya kya khaeigi...", Anu asked in a baby voice making cute faces. He took a bowl of dal water, cerelac and mashed potatoes and kept a small baby spoon along with these on a tray.

Anaya bend down, gripped the spoon and threw it away. "Aree meri jaan aapko chamach se kya dushmani hai?", he questioned scrunching his nose. "Na-Na", she shook her head trying to speak. (Jaise chote bache bolte hai vaise hi)

Haseena woke up and saw the room empty.
"Zarur Anaya ko bhook lagi hogi...akele Anubhav ki parade kara degi hogi Ana ne"
She tied her hairs properly and moved downstairs only to see Anubhav having a hard time making her eat. She smiled looking at his efforts.

"Hmm...toh Anu abhi bhi naraz hai ya help chahiye?"

"Pehli baat ki hum aapse naraz nahi hai...bas masti kar rahe the...aur dusri baat help toh chahiye", he said sheepishly.
"Khaana toh humne khila diya aap bas isse sulane se pehle thoda tehla dijye"

"Haan hum isse burp kar denge aap so jaaiye jaake warna kal late ho jayega", Haseena said smiling. He kissed their foreheads and retired to sleep.

Next day,

It is going to be like her first day. A new journey after becoming a mother. A gap of one year made her a little nervous but she had trust in herself. She is a mother and her cute little daughter makes her many a times stronger than she already is.

Anaya was playing with her grandmothers and having her breakfast. Anubhav had already dressed up in his uniform. Haseena was having a bath.

Maa knocked in and entered with a crying Anaya.

Maa- Anu ye chup hi nahi ho rahi...Haseena kaha hai (tensed because of her vigorous crying)

AS- laaiye humme deejiye...hum koshish karte hai...

He tries to calm her in his embrace but she continues to cry. When she doesn't stop he goes and stands near the bathroom door.

He holds her tiny hand and knocks the bathroom with her palms. She stops crying but sniffs, looking at him confused.
Maa smiles.

AS- (in a childish voice) Oh Ammi...jaldi nahake aao humme aapki yaad aa rahi hai...

HM- (from inside, she doesn't know Maa is there) Kya bacho jaisi harkate kar rahe hai...6 mahine ki humari Ana ki baba hai...bade hojaiye...bade hojaiye!

Anubhav feels embarrassed. Maa laughs at him.

AS- Haseena Maa bhi hai...kya bol rahi hai aap...

Analyzing attention was away from her she starts crying again. At that moment, Haseena comes out and quickly takes her in her arms.

Anaya looks at her with tear filled eyes. Haseena kisses her faces numerous times. She goes silent and rests her face on her shoulder. All of a sudden she smiles.

AS- ye kya hua Anaya ko humme khuch samjh nahi aaya...

Maa- kabhi kabhi bache ko sirf Maa ke paas jaana hota hai...
Haseena jaldi se taiyaar ho humne naashta laga diya hai...

HM- ji Maa aaye hum bas vardi pehenle...
Anaya chalo baba ke paas jao...

Maa leaves.

AS- ab dekhna Anaya...Aapki Ammi ka Ek alag aur sabse khubsurat roop. (Smiling at her)

Haseena gets ready in her uniform and smiles looking at her reflection. She feels proud wearing her wardi again. Adrenaline rushes through her veins.

AS- Toh DSP maddam. Welcome Back and All the Best. (From Anaya's Side) All the
Best Ammi.

She giggles and jumps to her. Haseena smiles.

In evening while returning to home,

HM- Anu zara gaadi rokiye...Anaya ko paani peena hai...

AS- ji...

He stops the car at roadside. While Haseena was making her drink water he saw a kulfi stall.

HM- Aree ye aapke baba kaha gaye ab! Hum bahout thak gaye hai...

Anubhav returns with two kulfis and give one to her.

AS- isse kha lijye aapki aadhi thakawat kam aur mood acha ho jayega.

Haseena was eating her kulfi, enjoying while Anaya, gazes at both of them. Confused she tries to grab the kulfi stick from Haseena's hand.

HM- Anaya...khane do na...

She pleads in a child like voice and pecks her lips. Ice cream from corner of her lips gets planted to her lips. She licks it feeling a different taste and sweetness.

HM- dekho toh kaise kar rahi hai... (She giggles looking at her) lekin aapko abhi nahi milega.

Anubhav laughs looking at both of them.

AS- Laiye Anaya ko hume dedijye...aur aap shanti se kha lijye...dono ek jaise hi hai khaane ke maamle me...

He starts to play with her distracting from her mother eating kulfi.

HM- (after finishing hers) hum kya keh rahe the anu...ki hum ek aur kha ke aaye?(excited)

AS- (He giggles) haa lekin bahar hi khake aaiye warna humari Anaya ka man bhi karega...aur Maa aur Ammi ke liye bhi pack kara lijye...

HM- bas 5 minute me aaye...
(She kisses both of their cheeks and leaves)

AS- ye dekhiye aapki Ammi ko...humme bacha keh rahi thi khud hi bacho jaise harkate hai inki...haina...
(She smiles as if understanding everything)

Maa- Aagayi Anaya...

Ammi- pura ghar suna lag raha tha iske bina...

Maa- ekdum bore hogaye hum dono...

Ammi- bahout yaad aayi iski...(sadly)

Maa- aaja Anaya...

HM- aaj yakeen ho gaya...mul se byaaz zyada pyaara hai...humse toh pucha hi nahi aapne...

Ammi- puchne hi wale the...aur din me kya do budhi Ammao ke bhoot ne phone kiya tha? Jo aise udaaas ho rahi hai!

HM- humse toh ek hi minute baat ki na usme bhi baaki toh Anaya ko hi video call kiya...

AS- chalo aapko humari paristhiti toh pata chali...roz toh Ayana ghar pe hoti hai phir bhi is nacheez pe koi dhyaan nahi deta...

Anaya raises her hand towards Ammi and she takes her in her lap. Tired of the day she sleeps playing with them.

______________________

At Night, in Anuseena's room.

AS- toh bataiye priye aapka din kaisa gaya...

HM- bahout mushkil! Pehle toh khuch logo ko Anaya ko HQ laane se dikkat hui par voh toh aapne ne sambhal liya...lekin shayad pregnancy ke baad hum irritable ho gaye hai bahout jaldi gussa aata hai. Aur feeding karne ke liye alag mushkil...

AS- aaj toh pehla din tha...khuch samay dijye aapne aapko sab settle ho jayega...hmm.
(He strokes her hair gently, she rests her head on his shoulder)

HM- Anaya bhi aaj thak gayi jabhi fatafat so gayi...(She carreses her curled hairs and wipes off the corner of her face)

AS- aaj Anaya ko yahi sone dijye...

HM- Haan...yaha sukoon milega usse jaise humme milta hai..(smiles heartily) aapne baba ko cradle banake...good night humari dil aur dhadkan

AS- Subhratri priye aur Anaya ki Ammi
