“Chetan come down soon and tell your dad to come. He is one lazy dodo.” As Vinod was getting up from the bed he heard Hema’s words. “I don’t know why she has to behave like an arrogant bitch. I just hope that one fine day this family won’t break into small pieces. She doesn’t allow Appu to go anywhere, dress the way she wants. Hope that one day she doesn’t run away from home and catch up wrong paths in life. Why these thoughts haunt me? I better stop thinking all this” just then; “Chetan, beta watch the stairs not your book. You might fall.”
“Appa don’t worry; now let’s go down otherwise simply amma will say something.”
As both of them were walking down the stairs, the door bell rang. Chetan went up to open the door. It was none other his sister’s best friend Raheesha. Well Chetan’s heart melts each time he sees Raheesha. She had this fair complexion, with pink cheeks and rosy lips. Being a Kashmiri her family was settled in Mumbai for a long time now.
“Hi! Raheesha. How are you doing?”
“Hi! Lover boy; I am good. Where’s my princess?”
“She is in the kitchen.”
“Who’s it beta?”
“Appa Raheesha”
“Namaste uncle, how are you doing?”
“I am good beta. What about you?”
“All fine. Aparna is in the kitchen? I just can’t wait to surprise her.”
“Beta you are her oldest friend. She feels comforted when you visit. Why don’t you have lunch and go? Aunty has prepared sambhar and brinjal bhaji.”
“Sambhar; then I will definitely have lunch and go.”
“Ok beta.” Smiling at Raheesha, all three headed to the kitchen.
Rashu slowly approached behind Appu and
BOO
“Rashu OMG!! This is a surprise!” From her heart she said “Thank you God!!” Both being childhood friends schooled together; Raheesha knew everything as all the ladies in the neighborhood would gossip about Nair’s in kitty party session where Raheesha’s mother Mrs. Shalini Gill would also go. Aparna’s happiness knew no bounds seeing Rashu after a month. Just then; “O! Rashu how are you beta? What a surprise!”
