"he is not in the room..i checkd everywhere, wo kahin nahi hai.." maansi said & ran out of the kichen to check once again..geet too followed behind.

"daadi..apne aaru ko kahin dekha??" maansi asked as soon as she saw daadi coming in the hall. "nahi bete..humne toh nahi dekha." daadi replied.
"gudiya..yahin hoga aas pados me..aa jayega..tum ye lo..pasta khao..uske baad ur fav ice-creame" geet said trying to cheer her mood.
"mujhe kuch nahi khana..! I hav told him so many times..per fir bhi wo mujhe bata kar nahi gaya..i wont talk to him now..!" maansi cribed and sat on the sofa grumpily..with a cute angery poute on her face. Geet rolled her eyes at her ziddy daughter... while Daadi shook her head smiling at maansi's talks.. maansi behaves as if she is the dadima of house..usse sab pata hona chahiye..specially about aaru..

after 20 minutes...
"dii..dii...see what i hav got..!" exclaimed an excited aaru, running into the house.
Hearing his voice...immediatly maansi ran to him & asked sternly.. "where were u??" she looked at his mud coverd..left hand & dirty clothes..while his right hand was behind his back..hiding something. Aaru looked at his angery sister & smiled cutely.."i was at harshu's house.."
"havnt i told u to not to go anywhere without telling me.."... maansi scolded him. "shorry.." aaru said holding his one ear & titling his face to left..looking at his dii with the cutest smile ever.
"its ok..but next time..aise kiya toh i wont talk to u..ok??" ..maansi warned him. "ok..promise...!" aaru smiled brightly.
Daadi watched in amusment as how incredible bond the duo share. Where as geet was speechless seeing her daughter bossing over her little baby.
"dii..ye dekho i brought it for u..!" aaru said..forwarding the bunch of mogra flowers..which he had found in the backyard of his friends house.
"hmmm..." an instant smile lightup on maansi's face smelling those mogra flowers. "achha haina...!" aaru askesd grinning widely.
"hmm..bahut achha hai..thank u.." maansi kissed aaru's cheeks. Aaru too kissed her cheeks and pouted ever so cutely.. "dii..mujhe bhookh lagi hai.."
" oh..mumma ne yummy pasta banaya hai..aur ice-cream bhi hai..!" maansi replied with a smile..
"yipeee.." aaru jumped at the mention of ice-cream..and ran towards the kichen with maansi ..both enjoyed eating the pasta & ice-creame.. To be precise maansi was feeding aaru & herself in turns..as aaru's hands were mudy.
