"psss...psssttt..urh oyiii"
Aarav finally looked up from his books and looked at the window overlooking the balcony. What he saw there made him laugh, before responding he glanced towards his sister - settled nicely on the bed, and ferociously turning the pages of her Physics book. Aah the exams, and a mother running on hot-flush fumes. Only these two could get the Mehra siblings to study so fiercely. Moms instructions were clear - "If you don't finish one round of revision before dinner, I swear I will change the wifi password and - AND not even tell dad the new one! And I will show Myrah the picture Kia took of yours when you were flirting with Disha after rehearsals the other day. And you Kia! Unless you want Vansh to know that you have put on three kilo extra, then you guys better finish all the chores I gave you" that was precisely her words.
"Ma, what mother blackmails her kids - I feel like Cinderella!?" Kia had said dramatically, while fixing her nail-paint, it earned a silent chuckle from her dad, sitting far away in the settee pretending to read a newspaper. Mother Mocambo darted an angry glace at Daady Poorest and looked back at Kia, "I, Mogambo treat them that way! And unless you want me to turn to Mother Shakal and feed you too crocodiles, GO NOW!" Kia didn't need telling twice, she made a dash, muttering to herself, "Why dear Lord, either give her periods or set her free, keeping her hanging is driving us INSAME!?!"
Aarav laughed, he was used to his sister cracking pre-menopause jokes on her mom, but his laugh didn't last long, when he turned around to see Mother Mocambo was directly looking at him now. "Woahh chill it woman, I was leaving" and he dashed.
Theyw ere inside their study ever since then, and was focusing singly on studies unless the weird noises from near the window made him look up.
"What?" he mouthed quietly.
Abhi glanced to his either sides to ensure his Furious Fuggy wasn't around, then motioned for him to come closer. Aaru went near the window, and seeing him move, Kia noticed her father at the window too. Soon both tiptoed near the window.
"What?"Aaru repeated in a whisper.
"Bad news guys!" came the reply.
"Why?" Kia asked with a scrunched brow, looking like Pragya's clone. Abhi stared at her for a moment, adoration filling his heart, but he put it aside. He had an important matter at hand.
"Cabbage Soup and Lettuce Salad again!" Abhi whispered seriously.
"OH NO" both whispered back with a cringing face.
"Ssshh. I have it covered. You just text her, you both will have dinner late, you're amidst some revision. She isnt likely to stop you. In the meanwhile we'll sneak out of the balcony and dine out! Kabab shabab what say?"he smirked at the duo.
The amazement with which they looked at him, it filled his heart - teenagers as they maybe, somewhere they were so innocent, that way both were his Fuggy copy.
"Cool Dad!" Aaru replied with a high-five.
"Erm Dad, Aaru and I will manage, but you are sure you can climb down the balcony? Remember last time? You got a cramp and Mother Mocambo had to take care of you? I was ripped off a month's pocket money!!"
Abhi scowled at his daughter, what did they think? He wasn't young enough? He was going to show them today. Not only would he climb down the balcony but at the restaurant he was going to flirt with a lady fan or two too - just so that Kia was clear, he was still the ROCKSTAR!

As the trio huddled down the balcony and moved towards the gate, Pragya peeped from her bedroom window and saw the trio leaving. She laughed in relief, what all drama she had to do to allow herself an evening of peace. She walked to the bar and poured herself a large helping of wine and settled before the television screen, to let her hair down and have a relaxing dinner with Aaliya. Her monkey duo had become such a handful nowadays nah! She was tired running after them! Whatever happened to soft and sensible children like Bulbul and Purab's?? Why did she land up with monkey?? And ever since she began her hot flushes, to add to her irritation, Abhi was extremely over the top about her diet and health, it was all over the annoying pregnancy days again - no hot food, no wine, no late nights uff. But tonight was hers! And Aaliya's and of course bulbul's who was joining them soon!
"Bhabi, and those Mehra trio thought they are smarter in planning and scheming than their evil Bua" laughed Aaliya heartily, and Pragya joined!
