Vani this one is for you
Councilor ani Mukhya Mantri
Many traditional UP rituals were performed with much pomp and show
Some women huddled in a corner and gossiped
Suvi didnt speak fluent Hindi and looked visibly nervous.
She kept looking at the open front door
She had gone into the kitchen to offer breakfast help, Ruchi and Aabha had told her not to worry
A man was making pooris in furious speed
A woman rolled the wheat flour discs on the floor and threw them elegantly on to a Navbharat Times spread on the floor a old rusty tent house pedestal ceiling fan helped keep the woman cool
Flipping the edge of the newspaper up causing Alia Bhatt to make magical appearance
The kitchen smelled like jeera and heeng
"Thoda sa bhog laga lein halwa, phir shuru karte hain mehandi ki rasam?" Amma mumbled, her saree tucked at her waist
she squeezed water out of a saree in the bathroom, wringing it
"Maasijee aap ren do, hamey pakdaayen" a young woman in her 30s grabbed the wrung out saree
"Alok ko kahen naha lein, Saksham se baat ki? Arya Samaj mandir mein parking allowed nahi hai,
shaadi mein kam se kam sau gaadiyan hongi. Bhaisaab (her own brother) ko kahen Saksham ko raaste mein Councilor ke daftar ruk kar, zara vinati karen" Amma sighed losing breath
Her bro's wife appeared "Jeeji, pehle aap bahar niklen, neeche ho chuka kaam aati hogi kaamwali, Aabha YAHAN ao beta, dekho buaji kapde dhoney mein lag padeen" her MIl scolded Aabha
Suvi appeared in the small annex's entry way
"Amma main dhoye..dhoongi" she corrected herself
"Bilqul nahi" Amma smiled
Aabha had appeared there by then, she looked at Suvi a lil awkwardly
There was no spontaneous warmth on either side
Suvi felt like a guest when she encountered Aabha
"Beta ghar se koi aavey hai?" a oldish lady quizzed her
She looked at Amma
Amma nodded "Sulekha Sunanda ki kangi kar lengi? aap?" and asked her cheerfully
Suvi nodded...
"Bhabhiji ek behen hain inki, saatvan mahina hai unka" "singapore mein hain" Amma said quietly
The old lady looked at Suvi oddly
Suvi left immediately
The living room was being rearranged by a few women rolling out dhurries and placing water bottles in the corner
"Aabha bhabhi dholki kiske yaha se laani hai bhaiya ka phone hai"
Suvi found the girls giggling at a small boy and gently told them she will do their hair
One was too shy to look at her, Sulekha stood up anda sked "Aapko French braid karna aata hai?"
Suvi nodded eagerly...
Sulekha leaned back in approval
Suvi undid the braid gently and combed with caution
Neel appeared in the open doorway carrying a Adidas tote bag
"DADEEE MUKHYA MANTREEE" sunanda squealed
He began to smile mischievously... but froze upon seeing Suvi by the door
