The next morning Armaam walked lazily downstairs as it was a sunday and he is free for the
day.
He didn't have much sleep last night either.
He had tossed and turned for most of the night and had fallen asleep somewhere near the
dawn.
He came into the kitchen to see both Ava and Advi sitting in their high chairs.
Janani was feeding them alternately.
She was feeding Advi some kind of paste that looked hideous and his son was eating it without
any complaints.
He made a face involuntarily and Janani saw that.
"Careful Armaan. Babies are very much attuned to your body language" Janani said in a
warning tone.
As if to prove the point, Advi turned his face away when Janani took the next spoonful of that
mix to his mouth, and he made a face similar to how Armaan did.
Janani glared at him
"See what you have done," Janani complained.
"What did I do" Armaan asked perplexed
All he did was make a face at the hideous mixture his son was heartily eating.
Who would have thought Advi would imitate him so quickly.
"He was eating it without any complaint and now after seeing you he is already starting a
tantrum" Janani stated with disapproval.
"It looks hideous, if you ask me." He said defensively
"It's healthy" Janani countered
He hadn't had coffee yet and he simply didn't want an argument in the morning.
"Fine. What should I do now" Armaan asked in a way of compromise.
"Eat this and make a happy face so that he will continue eating" Janani said and took a spoonful
of baby food towards his lips.
He gulped at the thought of swallowing that thing and looked at his kids, both of them looking
attentively at him.
Great way to start a morning.
He opened his mouth and took the spoonful of baby food and gulped it in a go not giving his
tongue a chance to taste it.
"Wow. Yummy" he forced out a bright smile making Ava giggle and Advi bang on his high chair
table with his chubby little fists.
Janani took the next spoonful for Advi and he ate it without a complaint
"Oww, mmyy" he copied his father making Armaan chuckle.
Now the next problem is how he is going to get a coffee.
Usually Khanna gets it for him.
"Coffee is there in the pot" Janani pointed out as if reading his mind.
"Oh!! You didn't have to make it for me" He said coolly.
"Well. I thought I should take care of the kitchen works from now on" she said
"Why??" He asked frowning
"It's just that ,you paid off Saa- I mean my debts and I think I should do some work in return for
that" Janani said and her shoulders are tense.
Why is she so tense?
"You are taking care of the children" he said
"I don't want to be paid for taking care of them. So I will do the cooking and kitchen gardening in
return for the money you paid off" she said as she continued to feed the children.
"Good morning" they looked up to see Aadesh walking into the kitchen and pouring himself
some coffee.
