Vinod entered Pritam uncles home with the project report files.

"Kya baat hai. Mood bohat kharab hai chote miyan ka. Kya ho gaya." Pritam uncle greeted him with a smile.

"Poocho matt uncle. Yaar aap sab kitna kaam karte ho," he frowned.

"Kyun, kya ho gaya...."

"Mujhe sach mein laga tha Rampur ki factory training se ziada kya hectic hoga. Management aur finance ne jaan li huwi hai. Aur ek yeh Prem bhaiyya hain. Bhabhi wahan hai uss khushi mein hi kaam se break khud bhi lein aur hume bhi dein." He sighed as he fell onto the sofa.

"Aur kuch nahi apne naam ki izzat karien."

Pritam uncle laughed out and he frowned. "Pata hai kal bhabhi ka off day tha aur Prem bhaiyya 6am se site inspection ke liye gaye the. Monday morning 8 baje aap bhi pareshaan hain aur main bhi..."

It was midnight when Prem had called home last night and discussed the site details and mailed him the assessments to be delivered today. That guy should have been out on a date. He was lucky he was alone with his girl in another city but he was "Prem bhaiyya" afterall.

"Chod isse main dekhta hoon. Tu naashta kar." Pritam uncle patted his shoulder and Vinod's phone rang.

Without allowing a word Vinod spoke at a speed in annoyance. "Haan bhaiyya, files papa ko dikha di, bade bhaiyya ko bhi ek set diya hai aur abhi Pritam uncle ke saath hoon."

Prem smiled and the line disconnected as another video call rang from him.

"Kahiye aur koi hukum..."

"Thank you Vinod. Kyun gussa hai." And Vinod frowned but couldn't hold back his smile.

"Waapis aajao bhaiyya.. bohat yaad aati hai aapki."

"Aise nahi kehte yaar... bas kuch waqt ki baat hai. Tu jaanta hai..."

Pritam uncle came to the table at that moment.

"Gussa khatam..." he laughed as Vinod made a face. "Kya karein uncle, ab bade bhai hain..."

"Haan bhaiy yeh bhi hai..." he smiled and continued, "Prem, Vinod ne reports di hain site ki, main tujhe kuch der mein assessment bhej deta hoon."

"No problem uncle," he smiled and Vinod raised his eyes, "waise bhaiyya, bhabhi kahan hain. Nazar nahi aa rahin."

Prem choked on his breakfast which was cereals again as he looked up and Vinod and Pritam uncle laughed. "Uncle aapne sach mein soch liya hai  ke Preeti bhabhi ka haath inke haath mein dena hai. Inhe... jo bhabhi ke off day par subha se se site par the...?"

Pritam uncle looked knowingly Prem who looked away and put his arm around Vinod, "ab kal ka tho pata nahi, inn dono se poochna hoga... waise ab faisla badlane ke liye kaafi der ho gayi hai... kyun Prem?"

Vinod laughed out loud as Prem was about to switch the call off. "Ok ok bhaiyya.. bhabhi ghar par na sahi aapko unke saath hona chaiyye tha... waise kal thi kahan woh jab aap busy the...?"

The moment was aptly perfected as at that moment rang the phone of Vivek to Vinod.

Prem smiled as they laughed out, "Chalo aap bhaiyya se baat karo. Main nikalta hoon. Late ho raha hai." He disconnected the call before they could respond and smiled to himself.

He leaned back on his couch as he finished his tea. Work was on time Pritam uncle and his papa would be sending their assessments soon and he d be able to file in the documents by noon.

But the best part had been the day with Preeti yesterday. It was beautiful. He could visualise it as it happened.
