Next morning all rituals were done by the family members while the newcomers slept over..
Mishti and Kuhu had enquired about Ketki during Aarti. and Meenakshii and Parul educated them on jet lag and it's symptoms and remedies..
" Koslu ka toh pet gadbad ho jaata hai..."
Meenakshi said smilingly...
"Haan...Aur Nidhi ko sir dard hota hai..."
Parul reminisced the last time they came to US..
"Mein Kethu ko dekh ke aati Hoon.." Mishti said..
"Yeh bhi le jaa sakthi ho Mishti...adrak vaali chai..kuch pareshaani ho tho wo theek hoga.."
" Of course Choti ma...aap sab keliye de dijiye...Mami Aur Mamu ko bhi de aati Hoon."
" Aur mein ..mein kuch Kar sakthi hoo Meenu aunty.?"
Kuhu volunteered as Mishti arranged the tea set..
" Haan Kuhu...tum Green juice banane mein Meri help kardo.."
Parul suggested...
" Inke liye breakfast ka khana heavy lagega...toh hum juice piladenge.."
"Yes Parul aunty.. consider it done.."

As the breakfast progressed Koslu Nidhi and Ketki joined the family..
" Di Adrak vaali chay toh kamaal Kar diya...I feel fit and fresh.."
Koushal said over enthusiastically..
Nidhi too nodded fervently..
Kethu looked rattled a bit eyeing the breakfast...
"Mamu Maami... Kethu.. aapkeliye special... breakfast Hein.."
Kunal announced as Kuhu brought in the big glasses of Green juice..
Kaushal and Nidhis face looked like they have bitten something sour..
" Woh...pichle time vaali.... haripatta vala ..juice...??"
Nidhi tried hard not to sound ungrateful...
As her parents looked uncertain whether to drink or not...Kethu took it and guzzled it in one go..
Abir patted her back..
" Dekho Maami...Kethu toh champ nikli...ab aap bhi pee lijiye.."
" Haan Abir.. Kethu toh hotstar heina..."
Nidhi eyed her glass with difficulty..
" Hot star nahi maariwali.. super star bolte Hain..
Hey bhagwan iss ek mahine mein aap hi ise thodi English dhang se sikha lo.."
Kaushal said in an exasperated way...
" Mujhe English nahi aati...Aur kuch kuch toh Mishti Aur Abir ne 12 saal pehle padhaayi thi..Haina Mishti.."
