Chapter 77: chapter 77

In the evening when Nidhi  was strolling in the community park, she heard the cute voice from behind," Cute aunty".. yes it was Avani..Nidhi's face lit up when she saw her.. Kabir's mom was accompanying her..Nidhi took Avani in her arms and kissed her.."Cute Aunty  do you live in the same community??"" Yes dear", Nidhi replied..then why didn't I see you earlier??"I was staying in another city to pursue my studies"Oh!! Avani nodded and said, " Cute aunty, can you help me in learning to ride a bicycle ??"Of course  darling , where is the cycle??"There", Avani pointed at the pink Barbie  cycle at a distance." Dad is too busy to help me and grandma is tired holding the cycle", Avani pouted. Don't worry, I am there to help you.. and Nidhi started holding Avani's cycle..After some time ,when they both were tired  and sat on a park bench.." cute aunty, I feel I cannot learn to cycle, it's my second day, but still I am unable to balance ", Avani sounded disappointed.."Hey sweetie, you know what ,it took one week for me to balance the cycle, so don't worry, you will also learn slowly", Nidhi cheered her."but dad said, he learnt cycle in a day, so I challenged dad that I will return home only after balancing the cycle""Your dad is a little abnormal so he learnt in a day, for normal people like us it will take a few days.  so don't worry", Nidhi said "Hehehe, Avani chuckled when she heard Nidhi calling her dad abnormal.. "she has heard her dad scolding every one, for the first time she has heard someone scolding her dad..."Cute aunty, will you help me learn to cycle everyday??", Avani asked.."Of course , sweetheart'' Nidhi replied.*****Avani was dancing  in front of T.V to her favourite song  in the living room when Kabir entered the house..He forgets all the stress when he sees Avani's smile..He silently watched his angel Dancing sitting on the couch..When Avani was tired she turned around to sit on the sofa but saw her dad sitting on the couch and smiling at her..He ran into his arms shouting "daddy"..Kabir made her sit on his lap and asked ,"So my little cutie, did you go cycling today??""Yes dad", I did.. "So did you learn balancing?? ",you challenged me to learn today.."Actually I heard it takes a few days to learn a cycle for normal people like me..and only abnormal people will learn in a day…"His eyebrows creased when he heard her.. he was angry and  asked " who told you??""cute Aunty", Avani replied..she said it took a week for her to balance but don't worry ,I will learn in a few days..Kabir's eyes softened when he heard Nidhi's name.. The anger he had just now  completely dissipated and a faint smile appeared on his lips..If someone else would have called him abnormal, he or she would have been dead meat.."What else did she say??", He enquired..She said she will help  me in learning cycle every evening..Kabir was happy to know that the bond between Avani and Nidhi is increasing day by day..*****Next few days as promised Nidhi helped Avani in cycling and she even  enjoyed spending  the time with the little one..one day Kabir couldn't stop himself from coming home  early.. He decided to  adore Nidhi  from a distance..so walked towards the community park and sat on the park bench in the distance and started admiring beautiful and important girls in his life..a little while he saw Avani cycling without the help of Nidhi.. She slowly started  balancing..Avani drove a few metres and lost balance and when she was about to fall Kabir and Nidhi ran towards her and both of their hands were on Avani stopping her from falling..In the process even Kabir and Nidhi's hands touched each other .Avani was scared and hugged her dad tightly.." it's ok sweetie ,see you didn't fell..", Kabir consoled her.."Sorry Avani, because of me you were about to fall.. Nidhi felt guilty..Is it not common to fall down during learning  the cycle? Everyone will fall  at least once.. Even I fell . Common Avani you are a strong girl.. You are scared of  this hmm?? See  your cute aunty is feeling bad. "Can't he just say aunty, why cute in front of aunty,"Nidhi felt inwardly.."cute aunty, I am a strong girl,see I am not crying", Avani jumped from Kabir's arms into Nidhi's..Nidhi felt better after taking Avani in her arms."Dad, you came early from the office today??""Yes baby, I came early  to see  what my sweetie is doing here.""Dad, you promised to take me to an ice cream parlour the day you come from the office early. Will you take me out now??""Of course sweetheart,let's go.."Nidhi slowly put down Avani on the ground and said, " ok Avani, meet you tomorrow".. Nidhi was about to leave when she heard them going out..When she was about to leave , Avani took her hand and stopped her.." Cute aunty, please come with us for ice cream".. " No dear, I have some work to do.. I will come with you some other day.. you enjoy your ice cream with your dad", Nidhi denied politely." But I want to eat ice cream with you", there were tears in Avani's eyes when Nidhi rejected.."Oh!! sweetheart please don't cry", Nidhi tried to console her."She will be happy if you can come ,  please join us", Kabir said in a low voice.."Please Aunty, please ", Avani pleaded.Nidhi didn't want to disappoint Avani so reluctantly agreed to go along with them..When the three of them reached the nearby ice cream parlour, they realised it was closed..Avani was disappointed and there were tears in her eyes..Nidhi's heart ached when she saw her.."There is an ice cream parlour in the mall.. I think we can try there", Nidhi suggested..This was the first time Nidhi took the initiative to talk to Kabir.. "But the mall is a little far away from here, I think you will be late if we go there" , Kabir said.."It's fine, let's go", Nidhi replied.."Yes daddy let's go", Avani shouted from behind. Kabir was in the driving seat,  and both Avani,Nidhi were sitting in the passenger seat behind him.. He looked like a driver for both of them..Smile appeared on Kabir's lips when he heard her.. "As you say my princesses..", Kabir said..Wait what did he say, princess or princesses?? did she hear him correctly..
