Hello Diary,
OMG! I found out a bit of shocking news today. My mum was engaged to that Shyamo Monster first!! But then Dad forcefully married her! I'll be forever grateful to dad for that. If Shyam had been my dad, I would have given myself up for adoption the day I was born.
***
Went to walk with dad at the park without Mum and anything in a skirt seemed to be trying to chat to him, thinking he was some bloke called Barun (I strongly suspect they were all from that IF organisation) Every girl looked a bit flustered but between you and me, I think that was more to do with the presence of yours truely than anything else. Some people can handle the presence of celebrities, others just get star-struck.
But then finally dad got frustrated and yelled "What the" and said with clenched teeth, "I'm not Barun, dammit" making all the girls scurry away. I don't know whats wrong with dad! I sure was enjoying the attention but I suppose he's afraid of mum. The last time he talked nicely to a pretty girl, Mum would send him to sleep in my room for a week! But I don't think of that as a punishment. I don't think dad's dying to sleep with mum at night! Whats so terribly exciting about that? But she just has got a bit of a temper, I guess.

I'm doomed! Today Payal Mausi wasn't feeling that good and went to the doctor's and came home glowing with happiness and blushing tomato red. The blushing part is absolutely normal for her. She blushes as much as a normal person blinks per day. But the happiness part doesn't seem right. I mean, who comes home from the hospital smiling? I always arrive home screaming my head off! Those needles scare the hell out of me!
So that seemed a little fishy. Then she went to Anjali bua and whispered something, which made Anjali bua giggle like crazy and announce that she was holding a puja right away. This was really getting frustrating and I was about to ask what was happening when Manorma Maami did the job and asked, "Anjali bitya, kahay itna giggliya rahi ho?" and Anjali bua said, "Maami, Payal Ji is expecting!"
Naani Ji and my Mum and Dad beamed with joy and only Manorma Maami looked as confused as I felt. What was Payal Mausi expecting?? Why did I have this nagging feeling that something wasn't right? All I ever expect from Payal Mausi is to do Chicken Kaari work, play hide and seek with Akash Chacho and cry once in while when Manorma Maami threw taunts at her. What was she expecting that everyone was so excited about?!
When Manorma Maami failed to show any reaction expect extreme confusion, Anjali bua explained that Akash Chacho was going to be a dad and Manorma Maami a dadi!!
I felt the ground slip beneath my feet! How stupid I've been! I only thought Mum and Dad were capable of having more children through their Rabba Ve's, but here Akash Chacho and Payal mausi were having their own. I felt like a complete idiot! I should have kept an eye on them when they played their 'hide and seek'
But then I saw the faces of my family glowing with true happiness and decided that I shouldn't be that selfish. Manorma Maami after looking here and there in complete bewilderment, ran and hugged Payal Mausi, shocking Naani so much that she dropped Laxmi! And then declared happily, 'Hello Hi to Manorma Daadi and Bye Bye to Manorma Maami' making everyone laugh out loud.
So now my freedom days are over! I'll have a little sibling to take care of, set a good example. I mean, I'm amazed to see how much Akash Chacho looks up to my dad. I'll have to be a better person, not that i'm not perfect as it is!
Akash Chacho is one sweet guy but he's too dependant on my dad, if you know what I mean. When Payal Mausi told him about him becoming a dad, he looked dazed with happiness when suddenly with a frown he asked, "Does Bhai know? Payal, we didn't ask Bhai before we decided to have a baby!"
Payal Mausi manage to stammer, "Akash Ji, humaray zehen hi me nai aya..." and Akash Chacho replied, "Chalo next time, be careful" he said, hugging her while she blushed furiously.

Oh My GAWD!! Guess what?! Now my mum's expecting a baby too!! I was dreading the arrival of one and now there are two on the way?! Just for 2 days I didn't interrupt my Mum and Dad's Rabba Ve thinking the damage was already done and now this?!
Spent the next entire day making dad and mum suffer for this terrible news. Actually its quite hard work, what with all the screaming and being grumpy. Mum and Dad are looking pretty knackered so i think my mission's accomplished. They might now change their mind about having another baby. I'll be on my best behaviour tomorrow. In fact, we've got visitors. Sarah is coming round for an audience with your's truely!
