On the other hand Mr. And Mrs. Saini was looking very happy while holding Miracle in their arms. It appeared as if they had seen such a cute baby for the first time. The smile on their faces were reaching to their eyes and illuminating with sparkles of glee.

"Mr and Mrs. Saini, This is Arya, one of the main founder of our NGO, Guardian Angel. She was the one who saved Miracle and took care of her, and This is Professor Riyansh, He's Arya's husband. They both are currently in the charge of taking care of Miracle." Aarav introduced us to Mr and Mrs. Saini.

"I have to say, you have invested a lot of time and efforts in taking care of Miracle. That's why she is such a healthy and adorable baby" Mr. Saini complimented and I gave him a half-hearted smile pressing my lips together in a thin line.

"Well Arya, Mr and Mrs. Saini has completed all the procedure till now. Now they just have to file a petition in the court for Miracle's adoption." Aarav stated with a big smile.

"I am sorry Aarav, They cannot do that." I objected.

"What?" Every single person in the room questioned at the same time. Every face had confusion and desire for the answers.

"What are you saying Arya?" Aarav questioned, raising his eyebrows.

I felt myself surrounded by questioning gazes and one of them was Riyansh's own gaze.

I turned to Mr and Mrs. Saini and said, "I am sorry Mr and Mrs. Saini. I would like to apologize, but you can't adopt Miracle because we have found her real father."

Another "what?" echoed throughout the room. Aarav turned me to himself and asked,"But her father ran away,Didn't he? Then how did you find him?"

"Yes Arya, how did that happen?" Sudhir added.

"It's all so confusing." Irha added too.

"Everyone, please be silent for a moment. And let Arya explain," Riyansh proclaimed in a firm tone. He didn't know what I was about to say. Still, he showed his trust in me. But he wanted answers too,

Though, thanks to his Professor Aura. It really saved me from all the pointing questions.

"It's true, I have found the real father of Miracle." I pronounced within a stoic voice.

"And this, this man is real father of Miracle." I gestured towards Riyansh.

All eyes turned towards Riyansh. And Riyansh glanced at me looking bewildered, appalled and shocked.

"Why and What?" His eyes were questioning from me.

"Yes, this man is real father of Miracle." I concluded with determination while tears glistened to my cheeks from my eyes. My chest overflowed with ponderous emotions.

"And do you know how I know that? " I said before anyone could put any other question.

"It's only been 6 months since I took this baby to our home. But this man here, who is a grown adult, and who is more than 35 years old was sobbing yesterday, having his head on Miracle's crib because he felt like his daughter is leaving him." I flew my thoughts free, moulding them in harsh breaths, and heavy tears.

The tears of Riyansh which were confined in his eyes had found their escape from his eyes as they glittered with luster of his pain on his eyes lashes and his cheeks.

He glanced at me with a emotion mingled in misery and affection both. He could not tolerate to see me cry. But before he could swept my tears with his long fingers, I gestured him to stop where he was standing.

"This man here, whose name is Riyansh, was sniveling like a child in the middle of the night because he didn't want to loss his most precious thing, his princess. He even said he would say sorry to my dad because he thought my dad must have felt bad because he married me too early." I continued with urges to break down blocking my mind, But I stayed strong.

"You know, Mr and Mrs. Saini, you know I was originally an orphan. I didn't have parents in my childhood. I didn't even know what were parents? But then, I got adopted by a couple who was toxic. The couple set a very bad image of father and mother in my brain. And to be honest I still had traces of that trauma breathing in my mind somewhere.

But then something happened, they died and I got adopted by my current father and mother. But something again happened and again I could not spend any time with them.

Then I grew up, fell in love and got married. And to be honest I didn't know what a father really means to a child. Until I saw Riyansh crying for Miracle yesterday. And yesterday, I understood, why my dad always said he wanted to get me married at the age of 70. Because like Riyansh he didn't want his daughter to leave him too.

Yesterday, I understood the  love of a father for his daughter. And yesterday, I realized that what I had always missed in my life. And that was, the love of my father and it was all because of my own mistakes.

I must have saved Miracle's life but if anyone had given a real life to Miracle. Then it's Riyansh, because he is the reason why Miracle giggles whole day and can only sleep in his arms at night.

Therefore Riyansh is real father of Miracle. And I will request you to not adopt Miracle." I recited them the whole story in a single attempt. My emotions overpowering me.

Every eye was glistening with tears. Softs sobs overwhelming the atmosphere of the room.

Aarav, Irha, Sudhir, Yukti, Mr and Mrs. Saini all were in tears. But someone who was crying the most was Riyansh.

Riyansh came striding towards me and wrapped me in his arms from behind. He buried my head in his chest and cried harshly letting out his pain. I never felt him being so vulnerable before. "You didn't have to do this, Arya." He croaked in pain.

For 2 minutes everything was silent and everyone was just trying to control their tears, doing their best. But no one was able to do so.

"Mrs.Arya, Don't worry, we will not adopt, Miracle" Mr. Saini broke the silence heaving a deep sigh.

"We have never witnessed such love for a child ever. We will not like to snatch your happiness for our own good." Mr. Saini stated with a sympathetic smile.

"He is right, We can not do that. And I have to admit Mr. Riyansh is actually real father of Miracle." Mrs. Saini added and I glanced at her gratefully hearing this news giving her a wet, salty smile.

"I will try to be a Father like Mr. Riyansh." Mr. Saini said with a happy smile.

"Now, we would like to take a leave. Because otherwise, we will become more emotional. And there's your precious treasure, Mr.Riyansh." Mr. Saini added giving Miracle to Riyansh.

"Thanks," Riyansh managed to murmur.

He quickly took her and wrapped her in his arms while Miracle put her head on his shoulder, giving her innocent smile at him, playing with his hair.

Then Mr and Mrs. Saini quietly left the room leaving us all alone.

Aarav pulled me into a tight hug, clenching my hand ,"You should have told me if you didn't wanna give Miracle. Why do you have to cry and make others cry as well, you Ullu!" He complaint like a child.

"Yeah, Now, stop crying Aaru." Sudhir hugged me too from the back and I became a sandwich between two muscular guys.

"You really made us all emotional, Arya" Mukti added and hugged me from the side.

"Ahhhhhh! You all are hugging without me. I wanna get a hug too." Irha complaint and hugged from the other side.

"Ah! Guys Can I and Miracle join too?" Riyansh asked in a soft voice.

"Nah! Professor, you can hug her at home too. It's our friends time." Aarav denied directly making me chuckle.

"No!!!! Aarav, let's Ri Sir join too" Irha exclaimed.

"Shut Up Irha," Sudhir retorted.

"I don't care what you guys say, I am joining" Riyansh said and joined, they all squeezed me like a little lemon.

"I am gonna die, you all." I shouted being suppressed within bodies from all the sides.

"Oh, Let's not make Professor a single father. And leave her." Aarav chuckled.

And they all finally let me breath.

"Sudhir, Yukti and Irha come with me. Let us all drink coffee. And leave new parents alone." Aarav joked and they all went out to drink coffee leaving me and Riyansh alone.

"And give my baby Miracle to me. I want to play with my princess." Yukti stated taking Miracle with her. Riyansh happily gave Miracle.

"Your daughter is not leaving you, Riyansh." I gave Riyansh a beautiful smile, glancing at him with affection.

And his vanished tears came back drizzling from his eyes.

"And it's all because of you. I can't tell how much I love you, how grateful I am to have you in my life." He came to me and hugged me tightly to his chest once again.

I kissed on his cheeks. "I love you too Riyansh, You don't even know how much." I confessed.

And he pressed his tender lips against mine and I savoured the sweetness of his lips in my heart.

After that we went home, I talked to Dad about everything. He told me we could not adopt Miracle before 2 years. But we kept her with us. I confessed to Dad that I missed him a lot, He was the best dad and I loved my Handsome Hunk Dad the most. He was crying on the phone. It was really a very adorable and memorable moment of my life for me.

And after two years we adopted Miracle as Mriansha. I requested Riyansh to get her name changed because I wanted her name to remind me the two most precious people of my life, my mum and dad.

Therefore Mrigha's Mri and Ansh's ansh made my Mriansha, my little princess. After that.... Ding Dong

I think Mriansha and Riyansh is back from walk, my dear Diary.

I gotta go back, Talk to you later.

Yours friend
Arya

✿✿✿Present Time✿✿✿

Arya's POV

"I am coming, wait for me."I shout as the bell ring once again.

I quickly wrap up my diary and shove it in the drawer. I stretch my arms a little bit before going to the door.

"So Riyu is back with little Miracle." I beam at him.

"Shhh, " He gestures having his finger on his lips.

Once again, Mriu is sleeping in the arms of her Papa.

It's their daily routine. They go on a walk and return with Mriu sleeping on Riyu's shoulder.

"Let's go and make my super little lioness comfortable in her dream land." Riyu smiles.

"Okay," I blink my eyes at him.

We carefully tuck Mriu in her bed and then kiss her forehead one by one.

"My daughter is growing up really fast." Riyu says caressing the head of Mriu. And I gently grasped his shoulder in agreement.

"Now, let's head to our room." Riyansh says kissing my hands tenderly.

"Okie Dokie" I replied.

Riyansh switches off the lights to Mriansha's room. And we go to our room.

"You called her Miracle after so many days." We used to call her Miracle when she was a small cub.

"Riyansh, Don't call my baby a cub." I complain, sitting on a chair while Riyansh sits on the bed in front of me.

"Why? A lioness's child is cub and you are her mother."

"I know, but my baby is a born lioness like me, she was never a cub. Didn't you remember how she fought for her life when she was nearly drowned?" I exclaim.

"True, I remember how Mumma little lioness saved baby Miracle." He chuckles.

I squint my eyes at him, glancing at him in suspicion.

"Okay, Okay Sorry Arya. I won't make fun of you. Don't look at me like that." He laughed.

But I still burn holes in his forehead.

"What happened Arya? Now you are scaring me by looking at me like that." He mumbles with a relaxed grin.

"Don't you think you are hiding something from me, Riyansh?"

"Oh really! I don't think I am hiding anything. Tell me yourself what I am hiding." He still has his silly smirk on his face.

"I think I have told you something about Ice-creams  before you went to a walk, Riyansh." I mutter looking at him with a calm smile, crossing my arms together.

The careless smirk adorn on his face vanishes somewhere in the air. And gradually terror takes its place.

"Arya, We didn't eat any Ice-creams, I promise." He utters glancing at me with an innocent face.

"But I didn't even say anything about eating Ice-creams. I just said if you remembered that I told you something about Ice-creams or not. It's that Simple." I gaze directly into his soul.

His face is fear-struck and he is trying his best to not say something which reveals that he is lying to me on my face.

"Yes Aaru, Actually I was saying the same thing. I was telling you that you ordered me and Mriu to not eat Ice-creams and we didn't." I can even smell lie in his words.

I roll my eyes at him taking a deep sigh.

"Choco-Vanilla," My voice was as firm as concrete.

Riynash literally trembles in fear.

"I can smell Choco-Vanilla in your breaths." I complete my sentence.

To this he looks at me with horrified expressions and proceeds to say,"But Aaru, what will you believe, my words or my breaths?"

Well, I gotta say he is playing his cards really well.

"Swear on me you didn't eat Ice-creams." But I am his wife and, as he calls me, I am the lioness. And he can't fool me that easily.

"Damn, Aaru How can you?" He sighs heavily with defeat.

"Okay, I ate Ice-cream with Mriu." He confesses.

"See, I only believe on your words Riyansh."I get the victory with a devilish grin.

He looks at me with an upset and guilty frown.

"Now, Would you please tell me why did you eat Ice-creams when I asked you to not eat any? You know Mriu gets cold after eating Ice-cream." I questioned with anger.

"I am really really sorry, Arya. But Mriu made such a cute face and the way she was saying, Pwease Papa. I couldn't deny her." He states making an adorable innocent face towards me.

"For you kind Information, Mr.Riyansh. Your daughter can pronounce please very well. She just say pwease so that she can trick you." I exclaim still  feeling the blood boiling in my veins.

To this he comes to me and embraces my waist in his arms, giving me a big, wet, sticky choco-vanilla kiss on my cheeks. And to be honest though I had no plans of forgiving him but here my heart just plays a romantic songs in my mind from its playlist. And my anger vanishes becoming vapours like water droplets on a hot pan.

"Aaru, you think I don't know that about my daughter. I know everything about her. But it's her childhood. The most precious time of her life and I want to fulfill all her tiny wishes. Giving her all the small joys that can make her happy.

If she gets her happiness by thinking she tricked her father for a Ice-cream. Then let it be, she will remember and cherish these memories for forever. And don't worry she will not get spoil. Because she is your mini version not by blood but by heart. Naughty and cool just like her mother." He squeezes my cheeks, pinching them with affection.

I wonder why god made him so smooth with his words. He is such an Emotional blackmailer. But I still love him irrespective of all that.

I am not angry. But I can't lose my form. So I push him back and glare at him,"But you and Mriu both eat Ice-cream and that without me. You didn't even bring any Ice-cream for me. This shows how much you love your daughter. And how much have you forgotten your wife." I complain with sad eyes and turns my face to the other side.

I am not angry at him. But I am surely upset.

"But Aaru you know, you don't like Ice-creams." He gives a pretty valid reason. But I don't want valid reasons. I want him to show me love. But I can't ask him directly. Because he needs to read between lines.

"Yeah, I don't like Ice-creams, but does that mean you and Mriu will eat Ice-cream leaving me alone while I am waiting for you at home?" I ask him seriously.

He embraces me from behind and gives me another small choco-vanilla kiss on my neck. "I am really sorry Arya, I didn't think that way. I am such a stupid. But Arya believe me, I love you so much that even I can't tell you how much. And you come before every thing even, my daughter." He replies to me, His voice is filled with honesty.

These were the words I wanted to hear. I know he loves me. But when you love someone truly. Your whole life you can't believe, you really have them. That's why you need to hear again and again that they love you. Everyone else may think I am insecure. But I am just afraid, afraid to lose him at any point in my life.

That's why I keep asking him if he loves me or not. To make sure that he is mine and will be mine for forever.

I don't reply anything to him and stay silent.

"Arya, you wanna eat Ice-cream na, You are mad that I ate Ice-cream without you, Aren't you? Then let's go and eat Ice-cream. The shop stays open till 12AM and it's only 11PM. If we will go by my car. We can go before it closes." He holds my hands and starts dragging me along with him. But before we can get out of our room.

I immediately pull my hand out of his grip, "I don't want to go anywhere to eat Ice-cream now." I state in a stoic voice glancing directly into his eyes. He looks worried. He is scared that I am really annoyed at him.

"Because I think if your breath can smell like Ice-cream. Then your mouth can taste like it too." His eyebrows twitches in confusion. But before he can come at any conclusion.

I push him against the door, grabs his collars just the way he likes and presses my lips against his lips tasting the flavour of chocolate and vanilla. The flavour melts in my mouth and leaves its sweetness.

His eyes gets widens with shock first and then starts closing in the process. I feel him easing softly against the touch of my lips.

His hands go behind my waist to push me closer to him. My chest collides with his chest pumping my heart to beat more faster and my chest stays pressed against his chest. I feel goosebumps and shivers arising on my warm skin.

While his other hands pushes my head more against his mouth.

His tongue gliding on my lips while I try to capture it in my mouth. The soft dizziness I feel as the Chocolate and Vanilla becomes a drug to me.

He licks my tongue, sucking it's juice really slowly, torturing me. His hands roams on my whole back up and down. I want to kiss him longer but I break in between just to tell him,"I love you too Riyansh, I am sorry I was just teasing you."

His hot breaths burns my wets lips as he says,"That's why I love you my little lioness. Because you tease me a lot." There's a sting in every word he utters which I feel inside my skin and my heart.

"Close the door before Mriu comes in. Because safety is really important." I say with a warning smile.

He already has my waist grabbed by him. So he just twirls me around and pushes me to the door with a thud. As he does it, a sparkling electricity burns in my body, travelling to the lower regions of my body. And he grabs my lips once again between his lips, making me tremble with thrill and closes the door, by hovering over me.

And the cold, shivery night burns with both of us.

★★★The End★★★
