PLS# 1 Fallen Moon

8. Dirty brain.

Aadhira's pov:

It's Sunday morning.
I remember saying you all about my unexpected uncle's visit right?

His daughter (my cousins) marriage is tomorrow so mom suggested that we could go and stay in their house today night and can help them in decorations. I instantly agreed and packed my dresses we three mom,me and siddu were reached their house by noon. I was nervous to say the least.

You would be nervous idiot why not you haven't even seen your called uncle aunt and there children since you were 3 years old remember?
Argued my stupid brain.

We entered into their house and soon was surrounded by numerous number of aunties each starting to ask 100 questions at the same time.
Ok answer the following questions time.

Some even asked me
Am I married?"

"Oh I don't plan on doing that I already have siddu!"
I replied and yearned few gasps.
My mom was glaring me the whole time.

After finishing my answer sheet I was dragged by an yellow saree Aunty to god knows where.
She at last stopped before a room and smiled seeing me

"Come with me dear! I have something to show you."

"Ok sure aunty"
She went inside and dragged a big box now laying under the bed and dusted it out. It was hard to open the box since it was rusted.

It contained few small clothes, random photos, some cute little bangles and a unused diaper.
Who stores all these in old rusted iron box?

"Do you know who this all belongs to?"
She asked and I shaked my head negative.

"It's all yours!"
What in the earth? Is that my diaper?
I liked to ask that question but kept quiet not wanting to look like a fool.

"Do you know who I am?"
She asked and again I said no.

"I am your uncle wife. Your aunt Vasunthara"

She said and I looked at her.

"These things were left behind when you stayed in our house for three days regarding your grandma's death. Those were the only days I had spend with you in my whole lifetime you were around 2 years then!"

She and smiled seeing over things.
Ok I am getting emotional now.

She hugged me and we both cried in each other's arms.

"Ok come you did not meet your cousin till now right? Follow me!"

She said and walked towards another room there stood a girl in a bright red saree and her face bloom into a big smile seeing me.

"Hi..."
I slowly said.

"Hey you are my long lost cousin right???"
She asked and I immediately giggled..

"Yah I think so..."
I replied.

She ran to me next moment and hugged me so tight.

"Thanks for coming!"
She said still holding me.

She released me and outstretched her hand.
"I am pooja and you are Aadhira right? God your name is so beautiful.."

"Thank you!"
I replied softly.

After that we had so much to catch up and we talked non-stop.
Believe me we had stories from day one after we born to now.

It was 3pm.
I and Pooja started to behave as regular Tom and jerry cousin type.
