The break time had arrived and every team was ready with a teacher as their guide to lead them to a restaurant for their tour.
"Anokhi..."
"Tu chal rhi haina ???..."
"Shaurya Sir ne kha bas paanchminute mein restaurant ke liye niklenge sabhi..." Reema sprinted into the canteen.
"Reema..."
"Mujhe lgta hain main nhi aa paaungi..."
"Tum log chale jaao..." While washing her hands in the sink, Anokhi said
"Ye tu kya keh rhi hain Anokhi ??... Tere bina kaise chale jaaye hum ?..." Reema approached her.
"I'm sorry Reema..."
"Mujhe bhi nhi pta tha achaanak se ye kaam beech mein aa jaayega..."
"Darasal koi sponsor aaye hue hai... Unki meeting chal rhi hai Tej Sir ke saath... Aur aaj Raju bhi nhi aaya..."
"Isliye un logo ke snacks ka arrangement mujhe aur Pammi Aunty ko akele hi karna padega..."
"Paanch minute mein to kuch bhi nhi hoga Reema..." she lamented.
"Toh fir ek kaam karte hai Anokhi..."
"Hum Shaurya Sir se ek baar baat karke dekhte hai... Thoda aur time agar mil jaaye..." Reema suggested a solution as she couldn't leave her behind.
"Nhi Reema..."
"Tum log mera wait mat karo..." Anokhi was quick to object.
"Mujhe khud bhi nhi pta ki kitna time lagega abhi..."
"Ho sakta hai un guests ke liye lunch ka bhi arrangement karna pade... Tab to bohot time lag jaayega Reema... Isliye main keh rhi hoon ki tum log chale jaao... Jab mera kaam khatam ho jaayega main vha pahunch jaaungi..." Anokhi explained graciously.
"Lekin Anokhi..." Reema remained dissatisfied.
"Reema..." Anokhi placed her hand on her shoulder, motioning her through her eyes.
Reema finally had to surrender to her friend, albeit half-heartedly.
"Achcha Anokhi..."
"Hum Mimi ko apne saath le jaate hai fir... Use bhi enjoy krne ko milega..." Reema asked.
Anokhi looked at her daughter, who was sitting on the chair, and realized this was a good idea. She would be busy with her work, and her Shona would get bored. It would be better if her Shona could be with her friends so that she could get to enjoy the tour also. And moreover, "he" would also be there. For some reason, it made her feel more secure about her Shona, though she didn't know why.
