Karan slowly shook his son to wake him up. He stirred a little then slowly open his eyes but closed them immediately.
"Wake up bud. It's already 9." Karan cooed patting his tummy. 
Kiyaansh opened his eyes as he sat up and forwarded his hands towards Karan to take him on his lap. 
Karan obliged happily making him sit on his lap. Kiyaansh again closed his eyes resting his head on Karan's shoulder. 
Karan patted his back.
"What happened champ? Wanna sleep more?" Karan asked his son. 
Kiyaansh lifted his head from his father's shoulder looking at his father he nodded in no to his question.
Till then Teju came out of the washroom and was watching them.
"Nind pura kese hoga when you play and roam around in the afternoon like a bad boy instead of taking nap." 
Teju taunted from behind as she came towards them.
"Mumma I'm not a bad boy." Kiyaansh protested.
Kiyaansh pulled his lips out in a pout. Karan peck his forehead and tried to defend him.
"Kiyaansh's mumma, you can't call my baby a bad boy. He is the best boy. Right baby?" Karan interfered. 
Kiyaansh shook his head up and down vigorously.
"That's because you haven't seen the notorious side of your baby yet, Kiyaansh's daddy." 
"Kiyaansh's mumma, apko shayad nahi pata but normal kids notorious hi hote hai. Aur Kiyaansh badmashi nahi karega to kya hum bade karenge? Wese Kiyaansh ki mumma to badi hoke bhi badmashi karti thi."
"Really daddy?"
Kiyaansh asked as he covered his mouth with his little palm stopping himself from laughing out loud. While Teju got angry.
"No baby. Don't believe your daddy. Apke daddy jhut bol rahe hai. Apke daddy jyada badmashi Kiya karte the."
"Haan to. Badmashi nahi karta to Kiyaansh thodi na exist karta." Karan said smugly.
Teju got horrified due to his shameless reply. And our innocent baby didn't get anything so he asked.
"What you said daddy?" Kiyaansh asked. 
"Nothing baby. Come on, come to mumma. Apko bath karna hai chalo."
Teju almost snatched Kiyaansh from Karan.
"You are such a shameless man, Karan. Don't say such words in front of Kiyaansh."
Giving him an earful Teju carried her baby to the washroom leaving a laughing Karan behind. Teju so wanted to hit him.
"Besharam kahika." 
She murmured while helping Kiyaansh brush his teeth. Then she removed his clothes making him seat on the bathtub full of bubbles.
Karan watched them standing threshold of the washroom.Teju's back was on his side so Teju couldn't see him but Kiyaansh saw his dad at the threshold. 
Teju was rubbing Kiyaansh's body with soap, Karan signed Kiyaansh to splash water on Teju. Kiyaansh being Karan's son didn't disobey him and began throwing water on his mother.
"Duggu. Don't do this. I have already taken shower."
But Kiyaansh didn't stopped his fun activity. Teju wiped her wet face and looked at Kiyaansh to find him looking at something behind her and laughing. She turned and saw Karan laughing back at Kiyaansh standing at the threshold.
