"Stop laughing aarti ji..."Yash said to aarti adjusting the pillows behind his back.."I can't yash ji..Even my stomach is aching due to continuous laughing since you ran away from buaji room.."Aarti replied controlling her fits of laughter."By the way why did you run form there???"She inquired further.
"C'mon aarti ji..what else were you expecting from me??...To stay there and explain buaji that global warming is not a good thing.." His reply made aarti break in to fits of laughter again..
"Stop it aarti ji.."He said closing his ears with two cushions..
"ok ..ok..i am stopping now.."She said stopping her laugh.."By the way yash ji..It was all your fault..You should have blamed me for something up to buaji's intellectual level.."
"Then you should have told me earlier aarti ji for what problem i would blame you infront of buaji.."he replied crossing his hands behind his head..
"Oho yash ji..It could be anything from"blockage of kitchen sink" to "power cut in neighbourhood".she replied as matter of fact.
"How come you can be responsible for power cut in our neighbour's house??"He asked in confusion.
"That I don't know but chances of aarti being responsible for a power cut are far more than being responsible for "global warming".."She was back to her laughing mode which was interrupted by sudden knock on the door..
"Aarti bahu..open the door.."
"Mummy ji???Why she is here at this hour of night??"Aarti asked yash before getting up from the bed to open the door.
"Yes mummy ji. Is there any problem??"Aarti said adjusting her pallu on her head.
Gayatri did not find her question worthy of an answer as she entered the room with a "Bucket full of drinking water" in her one hand. Yash saw the bucket and closed his eyes in helplessness as he questioned God in his head..why me god???why me???Gayatri kept the bucket near the side table and announced.."This is for yash.."
"But he don't bath at midnight mummy ji.."Aarti told.
"Stop arguing with me bahu...Its drinking water..and from tomorrow you will keep this here..understood???" Gayatri said pointing her finger towards her however her threatening was in quite low pitch as her rajabeta yash was sleeping besides..
After Gayatri left the room,Aarti poked yash ji on shoulder in order to wake him up and ask him about all this but he did not open his eyes.It was the safest option for him at that moment.
******************************************************************************
"Yash beta." Buaji's sickly sweet voice made him stop his act of combing as his heart thudded loudly..why she is in my room this early??what if she is here to ask me about global warming??
"Yash beta..hope you are not in hurry..I need talk to you about something.." buaji said coming near him.
"No bua ji..I am not at all in hurry,,Lets sit and talk" yash said making it chance of talking about "Dubey uncle's" matter to her..
Bua ji smiled in response and settled herself on the bed."yash beta..yesterday you were talking something about "gilobal harming"..As the word escaped her mouth his heart strated thumping loudly but her next words relaxed him little.."I asked gayatri jiji about this and she told me everything..."
"Ok buaji.."he let out a sigh of relief.
"This aarti definitely had given something wrong in food to you..thats why this "gilobal harming" is happening in your stomach.."buaji blamed as well as explained.
"what???"Yash yelled before smacking his forhead.."what did maa tell you about global warming??"
"She said ,its some stomach related disease..and because of this you are getting abnormally thirsty at night.."
"Irritation" was understatement for the situation in which yash found himself.
At that moment,Aarti entered with a glass of juice in her hands.She was smirking visibly when she served him the juice and said.."Drink this yash ji..It will help to stop "global warming" in your stomach"She had heard everything.
Her words were last blow to yash's irritation as it turned in to intense rage.He gritted his teeth.."You go aarti ji and i have to talk to buaji.."he said with red eyes.Aarti was petrified enough to leave the room but she hid herself near the door.
After disappearance of aartiji,yash prepared himself for a talk with buaji..Don't panic yash and don't beat around the bush..come to point straighway...
"Buaji..I have read your diary that morning and i know a little about your love for dubey uncle.."Yash said after mustering all his courage..Bua ji was speechless as he continued.."I respect your feelings bua ji..but you have to forget him,,he is married now and living happily with shoba aunty..you can't destroy their married life.."
"No..."bua ji yelled at top of her lungs.."no..i can't forget him..i can't forget my first love yash..."Buaji started sobbing after that.."you tell me can you forget arpita??She is your first love na??"
Bua ji threw her googly at right occasion.Yash had lowered his lashes as he gave side hug to sobbing bua..
"I can't do this yash beta,,I also miss him like you miss arpita..Difference is that i can't put his king sized posters in my room like you.."
"Really bua ji..you do miss him like me..You also get his "flashbacks" like I get of arpita???"he asked.
Bua ji was clueless about word "flashback" but she nodded her head in yes. Her yes made yash smile..
"I like them in "black and white".."he said with a cute smile.
"why black and white beta???you can get "colored" too.." Bua ji gave her reason thinking it something related to television.She patted her back mentally for her knowledge regarding b &w and color televisions.
"No bua ji..B&W makes arpita look more sexy..sometimes I do selective coloring too on her clothes..I see her saree and lipstick in fluorescent pink and everything else in black and white."He replied with a dreamy look on his eyes...
..and yesterday he was warning me to stay away from family madness..aarti thought standing at the door...
