Ashwin woke up as he heard Nithya crying in the midnight.  Kavya also woke up due to her crying.

" You sleep I will take care " Ashwin said to Kavya as she was about to wake up and take the baby from the cradle.

Ashwin woke up and took the 7 month old baby from  the cradle and holded her in his arms . Her little beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked at her father with teary eyes and shivering lips.

" oh my baby.... what happened ma... did you get scared " he talked to her in baby voice. He wiped  her tears and kissed on her both cheeks. He took her to the bed where they were sleeping.

He laid her between him and Kavya. She started pulling Kavya's dress as if indicating she is hungry.

" Don't wake up Amma Nithya.... she is very tired... let her sleep " he tried coaxing her not understanding that the baby was hungry. But the baby was to keen on trying to open her mother's dress. Finally he understood what she meant.

" wait I will try something " He said  and brought bottle milk and tried to feed her. But she only wanted to feed from her mother. She was hella stubborn girl.

Ashwin sighed and laid beside her. He did not want to wake up Kavya as she was sleeping much less than usual now a days.

" Fine... Fine.... I will get what you want " he said to the baby who calmed down at his words.

He looked at Kavya who was asleep and  then he looked at his daughter who was giving him puppy eyes.

He started opening her dress slowly.  As she was wearing a nighty it was easy for him to open the zip. He moved her dress away  so that her breast could be out.

He moved his daughter towards Kavya . Soon she latched her mouth onto her mother's breast and started sucking it filling her stomach.

Ashwin smiled at his daughter's antics and smiled.  When he raised his eyes he saw Kavya looking at him with emotions.

He knew what her eyes tried to convey him. Once upon a time  another pair of eyes looked at him with same emotions which he betrayed cruelly. Those emotions weren't that easy to forget. Sometimes it haunted him in his dreams.

Using his hand her closed her eyes slowly. She obeyed his unsaid actions and closed her eyes.

" sleep.... " he murmured as he removed his hand away from her eyes.

Kavya's heart constricted as he did so. She knew well he wasn't ready for such kind of emotions now. So she knew, she have to wait.

She doesn't know how long. It might take few years or even it might be forever. This feelings might even end one sided but still she will love him unconditionally with out any expectations.

In this life time he just belongs to her as her husband.... as her life partner. With these thoughts she drifted off to sleep.

As Nithya slept Ashwin made her lay properly and fixed Kavya's clothes. He looked at her face as if trying to convey his words.

" I'm not sure will I ever be what you want me to be.... but I will make sure I will  be there for you both at every point in my life " he said quietly  and slept....
