Kavin reached his house after a long hectic day at work….he opened the door with a spare key and moved inside….there was darkness all around,the lights were switched off…he switched on the lights and saw his princess sleeping on the sofa itself…she was sleeping, hugging her rabbit soft toy…he moved close to her and sat on the floor near her…he stared at her innocent face and a smile appeard on his face…she was just his carbon copy in looks…his eyes fell on the food plate which was kept on the table, untouched and he realized she had not eaten anything…he started caressing her hairs, trying to wake her up.
Kavin (kissing her forehead) - Mishti! uthh jaao bacha.
she opened her eyes slowly and smiled sweetly…she got up and hugged him happily.
Mishti (happily) - Bunny!
Kavin (separating her) - ye mai kya dekh raha hu? aapne khana kyu nahi khaya?
Mishti - Bunny! ek to aap itna late aaye ho aur upar se mujhe daant rahe ho….mai aapse baat nahi karungi….she makes a angry pout and turned her face away
Kavin - ohhh! meri Mishti to apne bunny se gussa ho gai….ab Bunny apni Mishti ko kaise manaye?
He stretched his hands towards her with a evil smile and before she could understand anything he started tickling her on her stomach, making her laugh.…he stopped tickling her after sometime…she kissed on his cheeks and hugged him tightly.
Mishti - I love you Bunny!
Kavin (happily) - I love you too mera bacha….he kissed on her head
he separated her and went inside the kitchen to get fresh food…he comes back holding a plate and started feeding her with his own hands.
Kavin (feeding her) - kal se ye bilkul nahi chalega! aap time par khana khaoge aur so jaaoge….mai shaanta kaaki ko strictly bolne wala hu, unnki harr baat maanoge aap samjhe?
Mishti was busy in eating while playing with her soft toy.
Kavin - aap sun bhi rahe ho mai kya bol raha hu?
Mishti (looking at him) - aap bahut bolte ho Bunny…she picks a small piece of chapati and feed him with her tiny hands…
Kavin (shocked) - ye sahi hai Beta! kabhi kabhi to mujhe lagta hai mai aapka Papa nahi, aap meri mummy ho.
Mishti gave him a sweet smile shrugging her shoulders while Kavin shook his head in disappointment…he knew his daughter was very stubborn just like him and she is not going to listen to him anyway…she Knows all the tactics to make him fulfill all her demands…all she have to do is to smile and Kavin surrenders to her wishes…she was his everything after his wife died, giving birth to her….she is just 4 years old…Kavin tries hard to give time to her but being a CID officer he was always short of time.…she never complained about it and was happy in whatever time she gets to spend with her cutest Bunny.
Kavin picked her up and took her inside the room…she lay down keeping her head on his laps and he started narrating her a bed time story, caressing her hairs….soon she drifted to sleep, hugging her soft toy…he smiled and make her sleep properly covering her with the blanket.
Next Morning
Kavin gets ready for the bureo and after bidding bye to Mishti walks out of the house…he was walking towards the lift gazing at his phone screen when suddenly he collided with someone…
Voice - andhe ho kya? dekhkar nahi chal sakte? mera saara saaman gira diya.
Kavin shifted his gaze down and saw a girl seating on the floor, collecting her stuffs which probably scattered there because of him...he bent down to help her.
Kavin - I am sorry! mai aapki help kar deta hu.
Girl (irritated) - koi jarurat nahi hai aapki help ki…she glared at him angrily….jara idhar udhar dekhkar chala kijiye, ya fir kahi aisa to nahi hai ki aapki aankhe kharab hai? aaj hi kisi ache eye specialist ke paas chale jaaiye, shayad dikhne lag jaaye.
Kavin - mai aapki help karne ki koshish kar raha hu aur aap hai ki mujhe hi suna rahi hai…bhalai ka to jamana hi nahi hai.
Girl (angrily) - mene kaha na mujhe aapki koi help nahi chahiye!
Kavin (getting up, angry) - fine! mujhe bhi koi shauk nahi hai aapki help karne ka….ajeeb pagal ladki hai….he murmured
Girl - kuch kaha tumne?
Kavin (fake smile) - mujhe kya kisi pagal kutte ne kaata hai jo mai aapse kuch kahunga?
The girl shot him a deadly glare and walks from there, picking her bag.
Kavin (self talk) - ajeeb ladki hai…he shook his head and started walking
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Kavin stopped at his place hearing the loud voice of screaming….he ran towards the direction of the voice and entered inside a flat in his neighborhood.…he saw the same girl he had met a few minutes back…she was standing over the sofa shouting loudly.
Kavin (moving closer) - kya hua? aise chilla kyu rahi ho?
The girl jumps down the sofa and hides behind him touching his shoulders.
Girl (scared) - please help me!
Kavin (confused) - aap batayengi ki hua kya hai? aap itna darr kyu rahi hai?
Girl - vo vaha par…she indicated in a direction with her hand
Kavin - kya hai vaha par?
Girl (scared) - cho..…cockroach!
Kavin - hein? cockroach?
She nodded her head in yes…Kavin took a glance at her face, she was looking very scared…her head was sweating.…Kavin burst out laughing seeing her condition.
Girl (angrily) - tum hass kyu rahe ho?
Kavin - bahar to bada confidently bol rahi thi ki mujhe kisi ki help nahi chahiye aur meri help to bilkul nahi chahiye…to fir ab kya hua?
Girl - jyada over smart banne ki jarurat nahi hai! chup chap iss cockroach ko bhagao yaha se.
Kavin (sitting on the sofa) - bahar jo hua usske baad, tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mai tumhari help karunga?
The girl was about to say something but suddenly she felt the cockroach climbing on her feets..…she screamed loudly and covered her face with her palms.
Kavin (closing his ears) - itna kyu chilla rahi ho? cockroach hai saanp nahi hai.
Girl (closed eyes, scared) - please! please isse hatao….please! please! please….she pleads to him
Kavin (smirk) - ab tum itna request kar rahi ho to mai tumhari help kar hi deta hu…he moved close to her….cockroach Bhaisahab jara niche utar jaaiye….he stretched his hand to take off the cockroach from her
Girl (irritated) - jaldi karo!
Kavin removed the cockroach from her leg and closed his fist….he moved his close fist close to her face.
Kavin - cockroach Bhaisahab jaldi se Inn madam ko hello bolo!
Girl - hataao issko!
Kavin - pehle bahar tumne mere saath jo badtameeji ki usske liye sorry bolo usske baad mai sochunga ki iss cockroach ka kya karna hai!
Girl - situation ka advantage le rahe ho?….he shrugged his shoulders….fine! I am sorry….she said unwillingly
Kavin smiled victoriously and went outside with the cockroach.
He comes back after nearly 10 minutes and saw the girl standing outside his flat along with Mishti….he was surprised to see Mishti talking to her happily….he walks to them.
Mishti (happily) - Bunny…she hugs his legs
Kavin (smiling) - ye aap kis se baat kar rahe ho Mishti?
Mishti - Bunny mene aapko meri nayi teacher ke baare mai bataya tha na...he nodded his head in yes….ye hi meri teacher hai! Purvi miss.
Kavin (shocked) - ye tumhari teacher hai?
Purvi (fake smile) - Haan…she forwards her hand towards him.…nice to meet you!
Kavin (shaking hand) - same here!
Mishti (coming in between) - Bunny! aap mujhe school drop kar doge please?
Kavin nodded his head in yes with a smile….he took a glance at Purvi and then walked from there, picking Mishti in his arms.
A/N - I am back with a Kavi story…..please do review and let me know should I continue this further or not? hopefully it will be a short story.
