"Jiji, wake up...don't u have office?"

"I don't want to go..." payal said in sleepy voice...so she covered herself with duvet and tried to sleep...Sleep had already left her as soon as khusi spoke..but she was not in mood to work..

Sometimes you feel so low that u just want to wrap yourself in your duvet and sleep...Just stop all the thoughts running like wild in your mind and let the darkness embrace u ...Just get lost in the peace of dreams full of colors...Just not open your eyes to see the life and the things which are wanting to be opened to you...

While trying to stop herself from thinking what her future has in store for her...payal again tried to sleep but we know nothing happens like we want...

She felt a hand caressing her hair..And she knew who it was...she simply adjusted her head from pillow to the lap of her mother...A mother's warmth which each child craves and she was so luck to have a mother who understands her every feeling without even she expressing it...

"Just sleep bitiya..." saying so garima, her mother kept stroking her hairs...she just let her mother's presence, her moments with her mother fill her sight and finally she was again in a peaceful slumber ...in a world away from every problem...I world which was dark yet peaceful..

Garima slowly adjusted payal's head in the pillow and after making sure she was sound asleep made her way outside..

"How is she?" shasi asked to his wife and khusi too raised her eyebrows asking how was her jiji...She very well knew what her jiji needed at the moment so she called her amma to go to her ..

"She is fine...For now sleeping and we can talk to her after she wakes up...I know whatever we have decided will be good for her..." garima said

"So this means you guys talked to them?" khusi was the one to ask this..

"Yes, and they are coming today..." shasi replied while khusi sighed...She was happy for her jiji...At least her jiji was getting the love of her life unlike her....

Her chain of thoughts were broken when garima spoke to her...

"Khusi, are u going to office today? I was thinking why don't u take a leave as they are coming in the evening and we have a lot to prepare and you can help me with the preparations" garima asked to her daughter who nodded in reply...

"I will just inform them that I won't be coming"

"Okay..and we are going to market ...we will come back soon.." khusi nodded at them and went to her room to call in the office...

***********

"What are these all preparations for?" payal asked while coming to the kitchen after waking up after 3 hours..

"Some guests are coming..." khusi replied while cleaning the living room ...

"So who are this special guests that my sister who is not fond of cleaning is doing all the work...And why didn't u go to office?" payal asked while settling herself in the sofa...

"I didn't go because special guests are non other then your akashji and his family..." payal spit the water she was drinking...

"What ?" khusi chuckled looking at her sister's state...

"I mean..why?..How? "payal could not form exact word...khusi laughed at that and sat beside her sister..

"They had called early in the morning saying they are coming in the evening to talk about marriage..."
