Yes, I always liked the Dhara in the initial epsiodes, she was a fresh breath of air, seemed very interesting and chanchal.

Thank you Nicky, appreciated your inputs ❤️

Song: Chak de Chak de (Hum Tum)

Day 1. killer kaki and jam sandwiches

Hey,

It has been quite an interesting day, and not bad for the first day at the Pandya Niwas.

Who am I kidding?

It was bad, very bad.

Everything about it was bad, except the end.

For starters, I do not think that Suman Kaki was in with the idea of me, a girl of age, the infamous Bhagodi ki Beti, the most notorious girl, staying with her and her 'jawaan' son under the same roof. Honestly, I do not mind what the society says, because the society is useless and I have been called so many names that I have lost count. If they add being shameless and the 'haww, she is staying with Gautam just like that', tag, I'd reply as meh, add it to the list.

But, I do not think Suman Kaki wants a tag of any hawws.

Before I start narrating the day's true and terrific events, let me just give a gist of Suman Pandya, the mother of four Pandya sons and the wife of late Mr. Darshan Pandya.

Suman kaki, as we all call her, more like killer kaki (if you ask me), is honestly my inspiration when it comes to speaking without thinking, because that woman truly says whatever she wants without thinking about its effects on anyone else. Do I want to be a mean old lady who keeps taunting everyone and still be respected?

Heck yea, that is the dream.

But, I am more sensitive too, so you will see me apologisng after losing my shit. I blame Gaumbi for this, because he is the one who keeps guilt-tripping me whenever I speak beyond what is necessary or be rude to people, and I can never say no to that man.

While Suman Kaki was the Queen of Sarcasm, Darshan Kaka, my favourite in the entire town, was a sweetheart and the only reason I still bear Suman Kaki and her overboard taunts is because Darshan Kaka practically raised my brother and me. He was my God-Father and he may not be alive today, owing to the gruesome car accident three years back, he would forever live in Gaumbi, and his three younger kids. And through mota-bhai and me.

Anywho, coming back to Suman Kaki, she never called me Dhara, not once since my mother left us and every time she calls me 'bhagodi ki beti', I swear, all I want to do is tattoo my name on my forehead.

Because it is not funny anymore.

"I am sorry, you have been called names," Hardik bhai would often comfort me, "and more that no one says that to me."

"Perks of being a man," I would scoff, really wanting to run away from this town, but two things kept me grounded.

1. Hardik bhai

2. Gaumbi

With this being said, Suman Kaki never really liked me, more so because she was kind of jealous that Darshan Kaka's attention was wavered more towards Hardik and me and she had to bear the younger ones for herself. I don't blame her for that, but she blaming me for that is unreasonable.

But je che, te che

And the first day at the Pandya Family Tour started at 4:30 am in the morning, yes, you read that right.

That woman woke me up at 4:30 AM in the morning. And for what? So that she and I would go to Somnath Temple at 6 am and then have morning tea which she wanted me to make.

It was not me, I swear, the one who woke up at 4:30, had a cold water bath, went to the Somnath temple and made tea for her was a zombie Dhara. The moment I drank tea, was when I got my actual soul back in me and Gautam, that idiot who was laughing at my sleepy state, was my shoulder when I dozed off in the temple prayers.

Was this a daily thing? Does this family always wake up at 4:30 am in the morning for prayers? I did not even have to ask this question to Gautam, because his honest eyes were answering my question already.

That is when I realised, that I am in deep deep soup, a very appealing, very aromatic soup that looks appealing from outside, but tastes not that good as you expected it to be.

"Ey Bhagodi ki beti," Suman Kaki yelled at me, and I gulped, as I turned towards her. "Aaiya aa."

That entire 30 seconds walk from the courtyard chair to the wheel-chair of hers was like a near-death experience for me, because all my life's mistakes and cringe-worthy moments flashed in front of me, as I wondered what I had done wrong.

"Ji, Kaki." I spoke, softly, and Suman Kaki looked at me, narrowed her gaze. Since she was in the wheelchair, I was a little too tall for her, and she dropped her fore-finger down, which meant I had to kneel down.

"Khana?" She did the action of eating, and then questioned me with her stern nod.

Of course I knew how to cook, I had no one to be dependent on than myself. While mota-bhai was super busy earning, I was super-busy learning basic survival instincts, which was education and cooking.

"Aaj ka khana tu banayegi," She ordered, straight-away, and I gulped, since when did the family experience turn into chef services?

"Pan Maa?"

"Tu bhagodi ki beti che?" Suman asked Gautam, who had intervened from behind me, and he stepped back. "Ye banyegi khana, sab ke liye. Family experience chahiye na isse, sab milega." And with that she used her automated wheel-chair and was zooming towards her room.

Can I have that wheel-chair to zoom out from this town?

"Sorry," Gautam held his ears, he looked mortified more than I was, "I..."

"Rewa de, Gaumbi." I tied my dupatta at the edge, "might as well get the entire package, huh?"

His silly smile made me smile too.

How cute was he!

"But there is ample amount of time for lunch," He questioned, as I readied myself for war, "what are you getting ready for?"

Rolling the sleeves of my kurti, I pointed towards the room which was locked, "Is waking the Vanar Sena less than a war?" And although Gaumbi chuckled, I took a deep breath, pacing myself for the turmoil of a day today.

As much as I want to describe my bond with the vanar sena, I would want to first illustrate the mess I created for lunch and Suman Kaki had never been this mad, or, I did not see her this angry.

No I did see her this anger, when she fights with Prafulla Maami.

Another tale for another day.

Before I switch my story again to another lane, I will tell you that the lunch I made was burnt, completely tasteless and so bad that Suman Kaki did not even eat lunch, the kids tried taking a bite out of it before they headed to school, but they almost spit it out. Shiva shut his nose and ate it all in one sitting and Gaumbi, he was the only one who ate the brown dal with the blackish rice and had the nerve to appreciate it.

Only Gaumbi can do that.

But, like I said, Suman kaki was not at all impressed by my mistake, which honestly was my lack of experience. I mean, I cooked only for two, now there was this huge family with each with their own preferences, or nakhre and I jumbled all the recipes and made a big mess. She skipped lunch, but on Gautam's advise, had something that Kanta kaki made for her.

And for dinner?

Suman Kaki was so disappointed, she refused to eat dinner (I tried to fix the food, but it was bad), stating that she would rather fast, and taunted with the words that sounded like, 'bhagodi maa ki beti ko kya hi aata hoga.' She said and all my appetite vanished in thin air. She moved to her room but the kids and Gaumbi looked at their hungry mother and then at each other, and then at me.

"Kayi vando nathi, Dhara," Dev, the mature of the lot, held my hand, "chal tujhe vanar sena special khana banake dete hai."

And then the kids and Gautam pulled me towards the kitchen and we spend some half an hour making jam sandwiches. It was just a five minutes task, but we almost got into a food attack, with Krish spilling jam on his t-shirt, Shiva laughing on him and Dev applying jam on Shiva's face. We tried stopping the kids but ended up being smeared with jam, Gaumbi laughed with me and I forgot all my miseries.

After that, I helped Kanta kaki in cleaning the dishes, while Gaumbi put the kids to sleep.

Everything about it was bad, except the end, that is what I had narrated earlier, and yes, the end, was not so bad if you think about it.

Right after the kids were put to sleep, Gaumbi headed up at the terrace, and told me that the kids were sleeping and I could join them. But, I knew that the kids were used to their elder brother sleeping besides them and I was used to sleep alone anyway. But Gaumbi was Gaumbi, and he refused to sleep if I did not sleep in the kids' room like last night.

"What if Krish wakes up and starts crying again?" I asked him as he stood next to me, watching the night befall on the town. The little of the lot was just six years old and very attached to Gautam, and hence since I was sleeping in their room last night, he woke up right at 4 am and cried aloud when he did not find his Gaumbi. That resulted in Dev and Shiva, the other two to hit him with their pillows to keep him from screaming and he screamed even louder.

That was my alarm, because I was not going to wake up that soon, but I was upset that Krish cried because of me.

"He'll get used to it," Gautam said, softly, "and he should. After all you are going to be..."

"I am going to be what?"

"Nothing,"

That was strange.

This was exactly what happened earlier in the evening too, when I walked in on Suman Kaki and Gaumbi's conversation and they stopped mid-way. It went something like, Gaumbi pleading to Suman Kaki to have some of the jam sandwiches but she denied.

"Shaadi hui nahi, par peti-coat chap tu abhi se ban gaya,"

I was right outside and I had no clue what that funny word meant. What do these older woman mean when they say such funny things and then stare at us when we swear, lol.

"Maa, woh kaise ek-dum sabke liye khana bana sakti hai?" He said, in my defense and I smiled, well, like I said, Gaumbi was the only one who liked me for me. "Accha, ye sandwiches kha lo. Aur phir dawaai bhi toh leni hai."

But she refused and that was my cue to enter. Gaumbi was about to say something but I knocked, the door was wide open but I was not going to take any chances. "Gaumbi, rewa de, if Suman Kaki does not want to eat then I'll just tell the kids that their mother did not eat their hand-cooked food."

Suman Kaki instantly looked at us, her eyes widened, "mere beto ne banaya?" She asked, I could see the reflection of a mother who was eager to taste something her kids had made.

That was when the pinch of not having a mother hit me. I remember cooking dishes and burning myself, trying my best but there was no mother to compliment me, or help me, or just look at me proudly as Suman kaki did right now.

"Haan, ye Dev ne banaya," I pointed at the plate and the sandwiches in it, "ye Shiva ne aur chotu sa, Krish ne." And before I could complete, Kaki snatched the plate and took a bite of all three sandwiches at once, and they may not have been perfect, but the tears welling in her eyes were the reward for the kids.

A mother's love, gah.

"Tuje sona nahi hai?" Gaumbi asked, breaking my trance and I averted away from his gaze, now sighing. "Hardik ki yaad aa rahi hai?"

On my soft nod, Gaumbi magically got a plate of sandwiches and before I could even protest, he neared one to my mouth. "bhook bardash nahi hogi tujhse, Dhara." He teased, and I smiled at him, "ye wali maine banayi hai."

My stomach betrayed me and it made those noises, and I sighed, accepting defeat and opening my mouth while Gautam fed me. The moment that first morsel immersed in my taste-buds, I snatched the plate and hogged on the sandwiches.

What? I was hungry the entre freaking day!

"Thanks Gaumbi," I said, mouth-full as Gautam only chuckled, "you are a god-sent, I swear."

"You swear a lot, Dhara."

Teasing him by showing my tongue, I kept eating the tasty food. "I am sorry," He continued, lowering his eyes, "maa should not have said that."

"Come on Gaumbi..." I shook my head, "aadat si ho gayi hai." I gulped, slumping my shoulders. "Anyway, neend aa rahi hai, kal 4:30 baje jo utna hai."

"Uth payegi?"

I shrugged, "family mujhe chahiyi thi, toh bhukto."

We laughed, walking down to finally rest and that was the end of day 1, like I said, not good, but not bad either.

What do you think?

Yours way too tired already,
Dhara Patel

Killer kaaki had me🤣🤣

How subtly you have brought the patriarchy of the society... Dhara being called names while hardik doesn't had to face anything like that.

Reference of darshan pandya was beautiful❤️

That having chai and then having her soul back... I saw I Me Myself there😆

I loved the vaanar sena scenes... It was cute to see them trying to get gaura together😆

Gautam was always very supportive... I had always loved that trait in him.

As I said... I would love to see her through your lenses Roch..... And I am loving it❤️🤗

True, the society is a bissh. Also, Gaumbi is all hearts, ngl. We all want a Shiva but we truly need a Gaumbi

Reading your inputs is a bliss, always and thank you for the support 🤗
