————————————————————————————
Little Naina asked her mom one day, “Mamma aap kaunse princess thi?”
Her mom gave her 6 year old funny but indulgent looks and asked her what she meant.
Nainu as her parents lovingly called her showed her mom a fairy tale book as the answer to her question. Her mom the smiled and said, “Hmm aapko kya lagtha hai Nainu, aapki mamma kaunsi princess ho sakthi hain?”
Nainu showed her the Rapunzel picture and said, “Mamma aapke baal tho bahut lambe hai nah?”
The long lustrous hair of Avni shined in answer and she smiled in affirmative. So Naina continued, “Tho mamma aap Rapunzel thi nah jisko papa ne tower se save kiya tha?” Avni remembered her Dayavanthi days when she was locked up in a room. But before Avni could say something, Naina somehow decided that her father was a police and not a robber like the hero in Rapunzel so her mamma can’t be Rapunzel also mamma’s hair is black not golden!
Avni laughed at her explanations. Her daughter loved chatting like her dad! She always told Neil that their daughter was his little clone! Just like her dad, she also asked questions incessantly, interrogating everyone as if they were suspects in her own investigation! And just like him she doesn’t stop until she gets her answers! And then there was that important fact that Nainu had her father’s huge puppy dog eyes and when she wanted something, instead of throwing a fit like other 6 year olds did, all Nainu had to do was bring a little water into her eyes to make it seem like impossibly huge pools of innocence to get what she wants, because come on her parents are after all only humans and they were sure even God could never can resist those innocent eyes and give in to all her demands! Naina, their very own cute little manipulator!
Avni was roused from her thoughts by her little one who had moved on to the next princess which was Snow white. Avni was now curious to hear her explanations. Nainu said, ” Mamma aap sabse beautiful hain aur papa sabse handsome, tho aap surely Snow White hi honge nah?”
Avni laughed and said, “Beta mujhe nahin pata main sabse beautiful hoon ya nahi, magar haan, aapke papa sabse handsome hain, yeh main pakka agree karthi hoon…”
Nainu made a face and said, “mamma aap hi sabse beautiful hain! Magar chalo lagtha hain apko snow white pasand nahi, waise bhi woh princess bahut saalon tak so jathi hai, agar aap so gayi tho main kisse goodnight kiss karungi? Nahi nahi snow white nahi…”
Avni was now very much interested to know which princess her daughter was finally going to choose as her identity. So she asked her this time, “So Nainu, abb aapko kya laghtha hai? Main kaunsi princess hoon?”
Nainu, “hmm, Belle tho nahi ho sakthi kyunki papa beast nahi ho sakthe.”
Avni teased, “Oh but Beast bhi baad mein Prince ban gaya tha nah?”
Nainu, “Nah Beast ne Belle ke papa ko pakad ke rakha tha aur fir Belle ko, papa sirf criminals ko pakadthe hain, aapko khabi nahi!”
Those innocent words actually touched her heart as she remembered the days when she was actually a criminal and he threatened to arrest her but never actually did. Then the more important days after her marriage, when he had always said, he wouldn’t force her into their relationship and she was always free to go if she wished. Maybe that’s when she actually fell in love with him because he never imposed his love on her and her heart respected him more for that just like Belle actually realizing her love for Beast when he set her free…
“Mamma! Mamma! Aap kahan ko jathi hain beech beech main?”
“Oops sorry bacha, mamma ko kuch yaad aa gaya tha. Sorry. Abb aap kaho, mamma iss baar teek se sunegi!”
“Hmm, tho aap Cinderella hai nah?”
Cinderella? Avni thought, Hmm Cinderella did had evil sisters just like I had Riya and instead of evil step mother I had my very own evil grandmother and then just like in that story where prince didn’t know the Cinderella’s identity, Neil too actually didn’t know her identity for a long time! Hmm, maybe she was a Cinderella and Neil was her prince after all…
Avni smiled and pulled her little cutie onto her lap and said, “Hmm, tho lagtha hai aapne iss baar…”
Just when she was about to agree to her daughter’s assessment, Neil appeared there out of nowhere and said, “No!”
Avni and Naina where surprised to see him as he was supposed to return tomorrow from Pune where he had gone for some case related stuff. Naina actually yelled in happiness and ran and caught her dad’s legs!
Neil who missed his doll so much pulled her up and threw her in the air, like the way only dads could do and Naina happily giggled loudly as she flew in air!
Avni sat there smiling with little tears escaping from her eyes watching the beautiful scene in front of her… Her two most important people in her life… They were her total world in nutshell and she wouldn’t trade this for the world.
Just when she was about to get up and join them, Neil himself came towards her and sat on the floor besides her leaning on the sofa behind. Naina happily sat on dad’s lap and extended her little legs onto mom’s lap claiming both their laps as hers!
“Tho wifey, aap yeh kya kehne wali thi meri Nainu se? Hmm? Ki aap Cinderella hain?”
Avni amusedly looked at Neil. He smiled sheepishly and said, “Woh actually mein pehle hi aa gaya tha magar aap donon ki princess story discussion itni achhi tho ki maine socha main disturb na karun!”
Avni playfully hit Neil’s arms and said, “So bad Neil! Tum humare baat chup chup ke sun rahe the?! Very bad!”
Neil smiled devilishly and said, “Agar mein yeh nahi kartha tho mujhe kaise pata chaltha meri biwi mujhe sabse handsome man samjhthi hai, hmm?” Saying Neil winked at her and in turn Avni blushed furiously at that. Thankfully Nainu saw none of that as she was bored by her parent’s chit chat and she had shifted her interest to her Tweety doll and was pulling its tail by now.
Neil then called his attention to Nainu and said, “Waise bacchha aapke mamma Cinderella nahi hain, ok.”
Nainu turned herself to face her dad and asked, “Kyun papa?Mamma tho Cinderella jaise hi pretty hai nah? Aur aap prince jaise ho!”
Neil smiled that his innocent daughter thought him good enough to be a prince and said the same, “Thank you beta ki aapko laghtha hai main ek Prince jaisa hoon aur haan aapki mamma Cinderella jaisi beautiful hain, magar fir bhi aap ki mamma Cinderella nahi hai.”
Nainu was really confused and from the periphery he could see that his wife too was confused and giving same reactions! No matter how many times his darling wifey said their daughter was his clone, to him their little angel always looked as a miniature replica of his other big angel, his Avni… all their facial reactions were exactly the same and also just like her mother she too had him wrapped around her little finger! Before he was just joru ka Ghulam, now he was his little doll’s Ghulam too and to say the truth he would have it no other way! He just loved indulging both of their wishes and most of the time he would fulfil their wishes even before they could ask for it! They were his life, world and everything!
Even though Neil loved their cute confused reactions he thought it better to clear their confusion and said, “Woh isliye mere sweetu kyunki aapki mamma in sab princess se bahut different hain. Inhe koi prince ko aake inki rescue yaani bachaane ki zarurat nahi thi. Aapki mamma ek warrior princess hain jisne khud evil queen ko fight kiya aur jeetha. Main tho sirf inka ek senapathi yani head of army tha beta. Aapki mamma inn sab princess se isilye different aur sabse best hain! Ab samjhi aap?”
Avni’s tears were freely flowing now. She didn’t how to thank God for giving her such a wonderful husband who not only loved her but more importantly respected her as a person of her own standing. Neil wiped her tears gently snaked an arm around her in a comforting way and whispered in her ears, “Baby you totally are the best princess in this whole world and don’t you ever forget that!”
Little Nainu too was happy to know her mamma was the best and said, “mamma aa ro kyun rahi hai? Papa ne tho aapko Princess Avni kaha hai jho sab princess se best hai, aap cinderalla se bhi best hai, tho mat royiye!’
This made Avni laugh and she said, ” haan beta, mujhe rona nahi chaiye, main tho bahut haapy thi isliye ro padi!”
“Offo Mamma aap bahut confusing ho!”
Avni laughed and said, “Waise beta aapke papa bhi sabse best prince hain, teek hai. Woh hamesha se mere prince hi the, senapathi nahi.”
Nainu excitedly, “Mujhe pata tha papa woh sen..senpti nahi ho sakthe, woh sirf prince hi ho sakthe hain!”
Neil laughed and said “haan mein inka pati hoon senapati nahi I guess!”
Avni laughed but Naina didn’t get their joke and looked at their faces for a moment in confusion and then decided to just hug them both tightly which they both returned happily.
Naina knew her parents were the best in the world! And she knew that because they were much better that Rahul’s mom and dad because they always scolded him. She didn’t like them as Rahul was her best friend and he usually cried the day they get their report card because he knew his parents would scold him… Her parents never scolded her but they do tell her gently if she does something naughty and they never scolded her about her marks too and they only say she can always do better next time because she was their angel. And yeah not to mention they always brought her favourite chocolate and toys even before asking! Really, her parents were the bestest!
