Vansh went towards his room to check Riddhima. When he is about to enter he sees her and she is about to throw up. He rushes to her and helps her to get up and takes her to the bathroom. After throwing up,she is breathing heavily , her face is all pale and she has no energy left to stand on her own . Vansh holds her and takes her out of the bathroom and made her sit on the sofa. Vansh looks at Riddhima worriedly and she looks towards him and whispers smiling faintly “It’s just morning sickness and it is normal in pregnancy.

Vansh: You know the reason of my worry.

Riddhima: Vansh, don’t take too much stress. Abhi tak sab sahi hai aura age bhi sab sahi hoga.

Vansh: Hmmm. Chalo , have something .Then you have to take medicine also.

Riddhima: Yes , lets go we are very hungry.

Vansh and Riddhima enters in the kitchen.

Vansh: What do you want to eat?

Riddhima: Aloo ke paranthe aur aam ka anchaar .

Vansh:Okay madam.

After half an hour , Riddhima came to dining table after freshening up and Vansh serves her. After 2 hours kids come to home shouting “Mumma,Papa,Mumma,Papa…………’.

Vansh and Riddhima are having a talk in the living room . Kids come and settle on the sofa.

Ayu: How are you Mumma?

Riddhima: I am absolutely fine.

Ayu: Okay, Mumma and Papa, I am going in my room to change.

Vansh:Why you both are looking so happy today? I am definitely sure that something is fishy.

Avi: Papa today you are looking dashing.

Akshu: Yes papa koi aapko dekh kar yeh bta hi nhi sakta ki aap humare papa ho.

Vansh: Are you both done with your buttering? Now give me my answer.

Avi: Bhai aap batao na mujhe toh kuch yaad hi nhi aa rha hai.

Akshu: Papa our school is going on a trip the day after tomorrow and we both want to go there. Please let us go.

Vansh: Hmmm. Tum dono trip par jaana chahte ho taaki tum apne teachers par chipkali dal sako, apne teachers ko musical chair race ke dauran chair par feviquick se chipka sako,apne principal ki pocket mein spider dal sako,bathroom mein se apne classmates ke kapde chura kar ped ke niche dal sako, tumhe khaane ke row mwin lage begar easily khana mil sake isliye chilla kar sabko bhaga sako yeh kah kar ki khaane mein cockroach hai aur at last raat mein tum white dress pehn kar zombie ban kar sabko dara sako.That’s why you are not going.

Avi: Papa please jaane do na I promise hum kuch bhi ulta-sidha nhi karenge.

Vanh: Pakka mein jo kahunga wahi karoge.

Akshu and Avi: Yes papa.

Vansh: Then, you both are not going.

Akshu: Please papa…

Vansh: No please , no ifs and no buts. Its final you both are not going on any trip. Now there will be no further discussion on this”trip” topic.

Saying this Vansh marches towards his study room.

Akshu: Avi mujhe nhi lagta papa manenge.

Avi: Bhai agar Ayu bhai maan jaaye toh papa trip ke liye agree kar sakte hai.

Ayansh enters the room after freshening up.

Ayu: What’s going on?

Akshu: Bhai papa hume trip par nhi jaane de rhe. Please aap humare saath chalo kyunki aap chaloge toh papa hume nhi rokenge.

Ayu: Agar tum dono ko trip par jaana hai toh mein papa se baat kar sakta hoon. But mera trip par jaana is next to impossible because I don’t like these things.

Avi: Bhai please maan jaao.

Ayu: No means No. Stop forcing me.[He said raising his voice.]

Akshant and Advay get sad and go to their room.

Riddhima: What happen Ayu? Why you shouted on them like this? You never did this before.

Ayu hugs Riddhima and says nothing.

Riddhima: You are not ready to go on the trip because you are worried for me.

Ayu: Yes Mumma. Also, I am feeling weird. I am having an intuition that something bad is going to happen with us.

Riddhima looks at Ayu lovingly and hugs him and kisses on his forehead.

Riddhima: Don’t worry baby.Nothing bad will happen.

Ayu: You are right Mumma. I think I am just overthinking.

Riddhima: Hmmm. So now go and talk to your papa and give this surprise to your brothers.

Ayansh enters study room.

Vansh: What happened baby?

Ayu: Papa please aap Akshu aur Avi ko trip par jaane do. Mein bhi unke saath jaa rha hu. I promise , I will ensure that they will do nothing stupid that will create trouble for others.

Vansh: Okay fine. I am letting them go just because you are going and remember that you are responsible for their every single act.

Ayu: Okay papa. Thank you.

Vansh smiles looking at his son who is smiling wholeheartedly.

Vansh: Waise Ayu , I must say that you have world’s best smile which is capable of making anyone smile in return.

Ayansh smiles and hugs Vansh. After talking to Vansh , he goes to his room .

Ayu: Lagta hai koi naraaz hai mujhse.

Saying this Ayu sits between Akshu and Avi and pulls their cheeks.

Akshu : Please bhai leave. Don’t trouble us.

Ayu: I came here to tell you both that we three are going to the trip. But since you are not even in talking terms with me I thought trip ka plan cancel karna padega. Mera papa se baat karna waste gaya.

Akshu: What!!! aap humare saath jaa rhe ho aur papa maan gaye.

Avi: Thank you bhai. You are best brother in the whole universe.

Akshu and Avi hugs Ayu squeezing the life out of him. Ater their bromance the trio starts planning for the trip. Vansh and Riddhima too joins them and they have a great family time.
