This is just to show that Hema was happy to see Rashu but from within “God another pain has come. Uff, now she will eat lunch, chit - chat with Appu and then leave.” An artificial smile glowed over her face.
“Beta long time; must have got busy with studies. How are your parents? I also haven’t met your mother for sometime time. Sheesshh I have missed a lot of hot gossips; has anything spicy cooked up. What happened about Ms. Sheela’s son’s affair with that sexy model Amrita?”
“Aunty I don’t bother about people’s matter as it’s better to just mind our own business. By the way; Mr. Subhash Roy was enquiring about you. I wonder why so? In fact now you have become a chilly topic for everyone. What say uncle?” Everyone broke into laughter except hitler Hema.
“Anyways whatever; are you going to have lunch with us?”
“Yes aunty. I heard you made sambhar!”
“Ok ok, every one sit for lunch, Naina kahan margayee. Vinod, how many should I tell you remove this useless Naina.”
“Ok, will sack her right away. But then who will do the house work! Appu can’t since her exams are on, Chetan goes to school and I go to the office. Then whose left is you.”
“Right, uncle what you said is right. Aunty I think you need to do some exercise and trust me housework is the best work out. What say Appu?” Everyone was laughing except Appu. Mouth zipped, all scared, and her mother starring with anger. She was just quiet.
“That was indeed a good round of humor Raheesha. Now shall we eat; Naina khana paros do.” There was complete silence on the table. Just then; Zian (Appu’s pet dog, whom she picked up from the street and became a close companion of his mistress) came running in the kitchen and barked with joy seeing Raheesha. More than just seeing her, the sambhar aroma pulled him towards the kitchen as he loves sambhar with rice.
“My baby; where were you? Aww you missed me. Look at you my furry boy. Appu he’s looking cute and has put on weight.”
