Seema's face falls as soon as she realises something.
"Bhabhi? What happened?" Karan asked seeing her face fall.
"Nothing.. just something crossed my mind" she said with her famous fake smile.
"What is it Bhabhi?" he questioned again..
"No.. nothing important, you go pacify her!!" Saying so she sent to Karan to his room.
Seema came back to her room and sat on the couch.
Seema's POV
Papa is coming home today!! I'm so happy, I'm going to see him for first time after I got married. Last time I saw him was at my bidaai.. that day he even hugged me for the first time.
But Karan said he was coming for dinner... How will I go and see him? He doesn't like my presence around him when he is eating.. He'll stop having the food even if by chance I saw him at dinner..
No! I won't go in front of him. He is coming to meet Di after so long I don't want to spoil their moods. I'll better stay in the room itself... Anyways whose going to notice if I am not there?
But I'll make all his favourite foods for dinner, Yes he loves milagu kozhambu(A south indian variety of sambar) very much, I'll make that specially for him.
All these years I've made it for him, though everytime I say that Di has made it for him specially. So that he ate that one item peacefully, otherwise he doesn't like the foods I prepared.. he says I always make awful dishes, and he hates them.. so I used to request the maids to tell him they prepared it.. He also believed them and had the dishes that I made.. I was so happy!
Now, now, I have to go and make preparations for the dinner!
*************
Seema was enthusiastically making grand preparations for dinner. Karan was amazed seeing her relentless efforts to make a simple dinner to something similar to a grand function. Today he could visualize his own mom in Seema. She just like Seema takes so much efforts to make every occasion perfect.
He saw Meera simply standing there without doing much help to Seema, so he went to question about her reluctance towards work... But before he could ask anything, Seema interrupted him asking-
"Karan.. if you don't mind can you do me a favour?"
"Ji, Bhabhi.... please... what do you want?"
"If you don't mind can you call and ask where is Papa? Di is helping me with the dough kneading.. her hands are occupied so I couldn't ask her." Seema asked with slight hesitation.
"Oh yes sure Bhabhi.. but why don't you call- okay I understand you are also busy in the kitchen right.. no worries I'll call him and ask... you go continue with your works." saying so he went to make a call to Mr. Shekar.
'how can I tell you..? If I call him.. he won't even attend the call.. what if he denies to come here citing me as the reason..?' Seema thought to herself.
"Ji papa.. come soon.. bye!" Karan said while ending the call.
He came to Seema and said-- "Bhabhi.. Papa said he is on the way.... There's heavy traffic it seems.. he will come for the dinner... don't worry! *He smiles at her warmly*
"Oh okay.. I have to speed up the works.. I have to finish them and g--" she stops abruptly.
"Ji?" (What?)
"Nothing.. I'm blabbering something! Don't mind me.. you go.." with that she moves inside the kitchen quickly.
Karan is perplexed at her weird behavior.
