Part 9 Pretext

Fatima got stuck, seeing baby Khushi's teacher. Was she the one about whom baby Khushi talked? Fatima smiled at Khushi.

"Namaste..." She said.

"Namaste jee..." Khushi smiled.

"Khushi talks a lot about you," Fatima said.

Khushi looked at baby Khushi and asked,

"Is it?"

Baby Khushi nodded yes blushing.

"What do you talk about me?"

Before baby Khushi answered, Fatima, did.

"She says, I like Khushi's teacher very much, at least once a day... She was so happy when you fed her aloo puri"

Khushi smiled.

"To date, she didn't talk about anyone other than her father" Fatima intentionally said while observing Khushi's expression. As she expected, Khushi's facial expression changed for a second after hearing about baby Khushi's father.

"Please take care of Khushi... She loves you so much" Fatima added.

Khushi nodded ok.

"Fatima chachi, today is Khushi teacher's birthday," baby Khushi said.

"Really?"

"Yes... She gave us peanut candy prepared by her"

"Oh... That's nice... Didn't you gift her anything?" Fatima asked.

"No... Because I don't know today is her birthday..." Khushi said making a sad face.

"Have you forgotten, Khushi? You gave me this rose..." Khushi said pointing at the rose that was in her hair.

"Did you give it to your teacher?" Fatima asked, getting suspicion.

"Yes... Daddy said we can give a rose to convey our love"

"Oh... When did he say so?"

"Today morning"

"Oh..."

Khushi gulped down hard and Fatima didn't miss noticing it.

"Khushi is always talking about you. That's why Arnav should have wanted her to give it to you. Luckily, today is your birthday" Fatima said.

Khushi smiled awkwardly.

"I will bring you roses often," baby Khushi said.

Khushi touched her cheek lovingly.

"Can I get your phone number?" Fatima asked.

"My phone number? Buy why?"

"If at any cause of emergency..."

Khushi nodded ok and gave her number, writing it on paper.

"Thank you"

"You are welcome"

"Shall we go, Khushi?"

Baby Khushi nodded ok.

"Bye teacher"

"Bye..."

Khushi left with Fatima. Fatima saw a peon and stopped him.

"Where is Manju?"

"She is in the sports room"

Fatima came to the sports room and saw Manju writing something.

"Manju..." Fatima called her.
