In the evening Vidya and Varsha were coming downstairs. They see Sanjana and Meera waiting for them. 

"Are tum dono neeche kyu aayi? Kuch chahiye?" Vidya asks

"Nahi woh hum bas aisehi" Sanjana answers

"Ghar acha laga tumme? Khana kaisa tha?" Varsha asks

"Ghar toh bohot acha hai. aur Khana bhi bohot acha tha" Meera answers

"Haan acha laga khana khaa ke aur aaram karke" Sanjana nods and answers

"Hum khana banane jaa rahe hai shaam ka, tumhe kuch chahiye beta?" Vidya asks lovingly

Sanjana and Meera both felt warm

"Hum aapki madat karein?" Sanjana asks

"Arey tum kyu khana banaoge, tum abhi abhi toh aayi ho. Aaram karo bache" Varsha says

"Aap hume beta bache bhi bolti hai aur hume paraya bhi karti hai?" Meera says to which Varsha is stumped and keeps looking at her and Vidya raises her eyebrows and smile.

"Hum thodisi madat kar sakte hai aapki?" Sanjana says smiling

"Chalo phir" Varsha says 

The two girls were following them and Vidya and Varsha smile looking at each other.

"Mein masala chai banati hoon" Sanjana says entering the kitchen

"Aur me kachori. Aur yahan Air fryer bhi hai" Meera says

And both start looking  for ingredients and vessels. Vidya and Varsha kept looking at them. They just entered did not even wait for Vidya and Varsha to say something.

"Give Meera I will help you knead the dough" Varsha says walking towards Meera

"No Aunty I can do it. Please tell me where do you keep carom seeds?". Meera asks

"Child you leave it. You know we have maids but we still cook because we like cooking for our family" Vidya says

"I know Aunty but this the least we could do for you after what you and your family has done for us" Sanjana answers smiling

Vidya smiles watching and Sanjana put milk in the vessel and grinding some masalas and she keeps hand on Sanjana's head caressing it. Sanjana looks at her and she feels a motherly bond.

"Meera give it to me bache. Atleast let me help you make dal mixture for the kachori" Varsha tries taking dal from Meera but she turns to opposite side and shows Varsha her back. 

"No aunty please" Meera says

"You said you just wanted to help. Now why are you not letting help me?" Varsha asks

"I did not say that .. Sanjana did" Meera answers smartly

Vidya again raises her eyebrows and smiles looking at Varsha and Meera. She is just like how Varsha was when they were in their 20s.

Varsha smiles looking at Meera trying to mix dal and other spices.

"Aunty do you how to you use air fryer? I just know what it is but never used it" Meera asks innocently mixing the dal mixture

Varsha smiles and nods.
