Khanna Manssion
The master bed room was furnished nicely with a queen sized bed covered in an electric blue cloth with dark blue comferter and pillow case. There was a bedside table with watter and a two glasses, On the other end was a phone, a pen stand and paper along with a small flower vaise with some wilted yellow and orenge flowers. A greyish silver couch on a corner with a glass table in front of it. On a space little away was a study space with the sytem, books and even a minni bar. Attached was a balcony that was over looking the garden right opposite was the attached closet with a bathroom as near it. The door knocked, "Ma'am your tea."
"Come in." Naina called, "Good morning ma'am."
"Good morning, please leave the tea." the servent nodded and left the room just then Dhilip walked in wiping his face with a towel. "Good morning Naina."
"Good morning Dhilip, yeah lijiye aap ke chai." she poured the drink out for him, "Thank you, biskets?"
"Yes thank you. Aaj hame ek fashion show atend karna hai, aap ko yaad hai na?" He sipped his tea, "Aur vo lunch bhi hame Basu pariwar ke saath karna hai. Lagtha hai sirf brakefast bachon ke saath ka sakthe hai."
"The kids will understand. Aare main tho Bahsu's ke liye fruit basket maangna bhul gaya." Naina sighed, "Nothing to worry about I am sure Geetha would have ordered it."
"I am sure she would have." Naina replied finnishing her coffee and some biskets, "Yeah oat meal biskets kaafi aache hai na, cook has done a good job.
"Haan - yes come in." the door opened and entered a lady dressed in a pink full sleaved shirt and a below knee length white skirt. She was holding a digital planner in her hand and in the other the morning newspaper. "Good morning ma'am."
Geetha Vishwash is the Khanna's house keeper and the lady inchanrge of day-to-day activities, all the parties and other things to do with the manssion. She was also the bridge between Mukti and her gaurians at times even playing the role of a local gaurdian.
"Good morning Geetha." Dhilip smiled at the woman, "Kuch khaas kaam. Ithne subah jo aagaye?"
"Haan sir, next ke week aap ke nayi product ke launch hai, kya aap koi party throw karne waale hai?"
"Haan aur vo bhi ghar par. Aach hua ke tumne hame yaad diladiya." he replied, "Apne sectetory se bathadunga ke tume saari details dede. Aur haan aaj brakefast ke liye ek english brakefast."
"Yes sir, main cook ko batha dungi." Naina called her back, "Just check with Mukti on the tea."
"Ma'am lekin Mukti tho Malik house main hai, vo study holidays ke baad hi aayegi." Dhilip chocked on his last sip of tea, "Kya, lekin agar vo party main nahi aati hai tho..."
"Sir Mukti apni twelvth ki padayi main bussy hai. Vo party main waisi bhi nahi aapayegi."
"Ofcource, teek hai aap jaiye aur brakefast ke thiyari kijiye." he replied, Geetha nodded and left the room.
Malik Home
"Tum donon bilkul apni ma ke parchayi ho." The kids laughed, "I mean come on log muje ek operation se pehele sulane ke liye trust karthe hai. Lekin tum log kabhi muje ek dish ke sath trust nahi karthe."
Aarman chuckled and began chopping some carrots when Mukti continued with the aata, "Papa, the last time you tried to make something mmm mummy had to go for a new kitchen."
"Aaah yes, tabhi tho tum logon ko apni is dream kitchen ko model karne ka mauka mila." Mukti shrugged, "Yeah I guss."
"Hay kya hua chutku?" Aarman asked looking at her, "Nahi mummy ki yaad aagayi. Khaas kar uski kahani jaab vo muje kaana kilathi thi."
Rajeev got up and rubbed Mukti's shouder, "Kithne saare kahaniyan batha thi vo tume. Any way, what are you kids making?"
"Aap me maan pasand mixed paratha. Potato, carrots, panner and daal, with a bit of chillies made quiet thick and roasted well." she told him adding some coriander leaves to the aata she was mixing. "How old were you Mukti?"
"I was eight, main use kaana pakathe hue dekthi thi. Uske baad main aap ke cook ne muje sikaya. Kyun?" she turned around and looked at him, Aarman moved up to mashing potatos but stayed quiet, "Muje ek pal ke liye aisa lag raha tha ke main Nandini ko dek raha tha. Are you sure there is nothing I can do?"
"I will call you once the work is done." Aarman replied as Mukti finnished with the finnal touches for the aata cutting some oranges. Her hands worked quickly and casually with out much of an effort extracting the juice. "Muje dedo, tum paratha banado."
"Ji biya." Mukti shifted away when the gardener walked in, "Mukti bitiya yeah hai aap ke saare sabziyan aur phool jo aap ne maanga. Kahan raklun ine?"
"Kaka aap une vah par rak lijiye. Baad main kaki use andar rak lenge." Just then they heard a scream from outside the door.
