Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

77. Has she forgotten?

Hello ! Welcome to part 77 of the story...

The weekend arrived, bringing a two-day break for the college students. With Saturday and Sunday off, they dispersed to their homes, taking a brief respite from the college routine.

In the Mudgalkar mansion on Saturday morning, the household buzzed with routine activities. However, amidst this domestic symphony, one room remained undisturbed. Behind a closed door, a tranquil scene unfolded – a young man peacefully slept, oblivious to the bustling activity beyond his room. The serenity of the Saturday morning embraced him, cradling him in a haven of restful slumber. Not going over there first let's meet, the one who has come... 

*Doorbell rang* 

Badi aai : Naina ! Sunaina (their maids) koi gate kholo beta... 

Tanuja : woh dono peeche hai garden mein... Aap rukiye mai kholti hun... 

Upon opening the door, Tanuja was greeted by a delightful sight – Mallika standing there with a beaming smile. 

Tanuja: "Mallika! Subah subah yaha... Aao aao andar aao."

Warmly welcoming her in, Tanuja couldn't contain her joy and embraced Mallika.

Mallika : Hello bhabhi, Kaise hai aap? 

Tanuja : Bahot Achi Hun Tum Kaise ho? 

Mallika : Badhiya...

Aai comes and saw her..

Aai : Arey, mallika... 

Mallika: "Namaste Aai."

Others, intrigued by the lively interaction, emerged, She greeted everyone... 

Mallika: "Ye lijiye khaas aaplog ke liye Jammu ke apples... Mummy Jammu gayi thi toh layi."

Chote Aai: "Arey beta, iski kya zarurat thi... Thank you."

Badi Aai: "Waise tumhari mummy kaise hai? Woh nahi aayi?"

Mallika : woh theek hai infact woh bhi aa rahi thi par unhe kuch important kaam ke liye jaana pad gaya toh woh nahi aapae... 

Aai : Acha... Koi baat nahi... Waise hume bahot acha laga ki tum humse milne aayi...

Kaka : bahot acha kiya...

Badi aai : ha bilkul tumhara hi ghar hai jab man kare aajana... Hume acha lagega...

They all sat down...

Basant walked downstairs and saw Mallika...

Basant : Arey... mallika, Tum yahan ?

Mallika : "Good Morning, Dau!"

Basant : "Good Morning, tumne bataya nahi aane wale ho, surprise kar diya hume"
