A week passed by after their visit to the preschool.
It was pretty much busy after that, with the admission papers and school shopping.
The Monday morning came by quickly and the Verma Mansion is so excited at the news of Ava
joining for school.
Janani gave Ava a bath in the morning and got her dressed in a beautiful cotton frock, purple in
color.
"Now let's tie your hair," Janani said, combing Ava's hair and tying it in two pigtails with purple
color bands and placing a hair band finishing her hair style.
"Now for accessories" she said and took a beads chain and tied it around Ava's neck and also
made her wear plastic bangles of the same color.
"Not ready yet??" Aadesh asked coming inside the room with Advi perched on his shoulders
who was gleefully clutching onto his chachu's hair and hopping on his shoulders.
"Nearly over. Socks and shoes left" Janani said and she made Ava sit on the bed and went to
the shoe rack
Aadesh quickly examined the shoe rack.
"There is no purple shoe" he said frowning
"White socks and shoes would be perfect with her dress" Armaan said as he walked into the
room taking in the sight of his almost ready daughter on the bed and her momma bustling
around the room.
Momma??
He sucked in a sharp breath.
Where did that thought come from?
All the excitement of Ava joining school is getting to his head.
Yeah, that's the reason why he is having incoherent thoughts quite often.
"Right. White would go good with purple" Janani agreed as she made Ava wear a white

"All good to go sweetheart" Janani said as she gave a loud kiss on Ava's cheeks making the
little girl giggle.
Advi ,being the attention seeker he is ,didn't like all the attention being on his big sister,
specifically his mama's.
He clutched harder on his uncle's hair and pulled it making Aadesh wince and he ended up
wailing loudly taking all attention back on him.
"Aww baby. Come here" she took Advi from Aadesh making the kid stop his cries as if a switch
went off.
Armaan made his daughter wear her new school bag and water bottle around her shoulders and
neck and they all made their way to the school.

It was past one in the afternoon and Advi was having his afternoon nap.
Janani was staring at the clock every two minutes willing the time to pass so that it would be two
soon and they could go and bring Ava back home.
This all feels so real.
She feels as if she is living her own fairy tale.
A man ,two beautiful babies ,a brother and a home.
And worrying for Ava as if she is her own child.
If this is how she feels when Ava had gone to school for four hours ,how would she feel when
Ava gets married and goes to her sasuraal.
She could see herself bawling her eyes out leaning onto Armaan's shoulders while Advi and
another little boy teased her for being a cry baby.
"Janani??" She heard him calling out for he
