NISHCHAY
✨

'Mumma...your coffee without sugar and your Omlette without yellow and bread dry toasted' I offered her as she came back from Kyra's room. Everytime she comes to Dhaulpur she prefers staying in Kyra's room.

'Thank you Beta (child)...Ummm sit everyone..why are you all standing...Riya... Nishchay...Ummm Saanchi right?...sit...sit!!!' she said while taking a chair serving herself some fruits. But Saanchi looked hesitant and said..

'Umm..Nnnno...No Mmmmam...it's...it's ok...I was just leaving...I actually...I mean...I'

'Sshhhe ...she was with Kyra last night Mumma' I jumped in to which Mumma smiled saying

'Its ok Nishchay why are you explaining. I am just asking her to join us for breakfast!!!' Mumma said and Saanchi still looked hesitant as she bit her lower lip and whispered

'Actually Mam...I .. haven't brushed yet, haven't freshened up ..I have to also go to the hospital-'

'Its alright Beta(child) go freshen up and join us back...Riya will give me company till then...and I know you are our Nishchay's friend and I'm Nishchay's Mumma so don't call me Mam...I'm your aunty ok???' she said and Saanchi smiled and nodded

✨

'So a gynaecologist Haan???' Mumma asked while plaiting Kyra's hair as Saanchi was hesitantly eating a few Parathas which Mumma quickly made for me. She knows I love Gobi Parathas made by her'

Just then Kyra shouted...
'Gammy noooo...not these...I want that cute looking knot and just like how Anna and Elsa's hair looks like...Mumma knows...' saying she jumps from her grandmother's lap and runs towards Saanchi saying

'Mumma can you please tie my hair' and Saanchi although looked hesitant but she smiled at Kyra. She was about stand up from the table when Mumma said

'Finish your breakfast Saanchi...Kayu come here baby...I will make another kinda hairstyle for you'

But Kyra was adamant
'NO!!! Only Mumma will make my hair. My Mumma is the best!!!' she said hugging Saanchi's stomach and I quickly walked towards her saying

'Kyra...no...come here...Gammy makes your hair always...go to her!!!'

But Kyra at times is too stubborn...
'No no no!!! Only Mumma will make Kyra's hair...Mumma please na...' and before I could scold Kyra Saanchi stood up saying

'Its...it's ok Nishchay... she's a kid'

'But Saanchi...She is turning way too stubborn'

'Nishchay please...it's just a plait!!!' saying she simply carried Kyra and walked towards Mumma and made her sit on her lap. Mumma was surprised.

'Hmmm I can make you the fish tail pony but you know what Gammy knows to plait your hair with a Parandha (multicolour hair ornament made of silk threads to tie hair into a plait used by Punjabi women) which Mumma doesn't but you know nevermind-' saying Saanchi began to comb Kyra's hair while the little one turned around completely asking

'You mean the kinds pretty looking ribbons which Sabarwal aunty wears everyday?' she asks curiously and Saanchi nods while Kyra thinks for a minute and instantly jumps to her grandmother and says

'Even Kyra wants a Parandha!!! A pinky one!!!' and we all chuckle. Mumma smiles and looks at Saanchi while Saanchi returns the smile.

✨

It had already been three days that Mumma was staying here with us. Kyra was having a gala time with her Gammy, Riya Daadi and her Mu..... Saanchi!!!

It was the weekend and I had decided to cook Biryani like every weekend but this time Mumma was home and she had different plans. I had to abide by her. You don't dare go against mothers you see!
