Sharma Mansion

Aarti was so happy she learned to ride a horse today, made a new friend, tried a different type of food Mushroom pizza delicious the memory made her lick her lips, played games on the big machines. Pankaj bhayia, Aman Bhayia, naughty Prateek, her new friend Yash and Mansi di all had lots of fun in the game arcade, now she was so tired and wanted to shower and sleep before dinner even Mansi was tired.

"Bhayia, Bhabhi, Aman papa, bau ji, and ma ji I want to tell you all something Today I asked both Mansi, and Aarti to address Aman's Papa and Myself as papa and mama too." she waited their reaction no one said anything so she continued " Mansi said both Aarti and herself will call us chote papa, and chote mama from today, and Aarti agreed with her Aman also like the idea" she continued looking at her family then finally she saw a smile from her bhabhi "Only if Aman call us badi ma, and badi papa" The remaining adults all smiled and give their consent.

Yash's and Aarti's Flashback

The Sharmas and the Scindhias simultaneously arrived at the paddock adjoining the stables, "Namaste uncle ji " greeted chachi " Namaste Beti" replied dada ji Scindhia " How are you? I see the little Aarti beti is adjusting well." he continued the children from both side greeted the adults bending to touch their feet, receiving their blessings, also acknowledging eachother. " Ji uncle ji, she is a wonderful child, she is so easy to love, and enjoy with" said chachi " Why don't you and the kids join us for lunch, we are going to the boys favorite restaurant." invited dada ji " Thanks so much for the invite uncle ji." responded chachi to the invitation with a smile. Yash was thrilled with the turn of events, while Parateek was happy he will get more ammunition to tease his Yash bhayia.

" Betas we are going to xyz restaurant to have lunch with the Scindhias " said chachi with a bright smile for her children In the car Aman told both that Yash, and himself are in the same grade at their school but have different home classroom; during casual day, and sport day they have always been on opposite teams, therefore never had the chance to become friends. " Well now you can become friends, and also Aarti and I will be his friends too " interjected Mansi " I like his younger brother" said Aarti who had been quietly observing everything continuing "he remained me of two naughty younger boys at the orphanage who always did pranks and made our mas, and papas there laughing, and wondering what was their next prank" Aarti had a look of nostalgia plastered on her face. Chachi who was sitting in the back seat with her girls hugged Aarti and give her a kiss on her head " You miss them beta." it was a simply statement but Aarti recognize the kindness in her voice and action "Yes chachi I miss the ashram and the kids even if I was not close to anyone of the kids I still miss them because they were always around, we ate, slept, prayed, sometimes played, and studied together."the little girl explained " I miss All the adults specially Shoba ma, she is the closest person I had to a real ma" said a sad Aarti with a sheen of tears in her eyes. Chachi felt for the child held her closer and said " you know what beta from today you can call me ma also ok, in fact both you ans Mansi shall start calling me ma ok, because I love the both of you as much as I love your Aman bhayia, and you both are my daughters too ok" "Now you both have two mama" said Aman from the front seat "I an certain that your mama, papa, and chachu will not mind in fact they will be happy with the change" "May we call you chote ma, and chachu chote papa?" inquired Mansi who was very happy with this idea because she loved her chachi very much and had a lot in common with her they both loved shopping and fashion, more than her mama, and dadi who went because they had too, and it meant leaving the house for some hours, a change of pace from the daily routine her mother calls it.

On arriving at the restaurant they were seated at a large family table and given the menu the kids choice had both veg, and non veg dishes Pankaj knew what his brothers wanted and what both he and dada ji liked. Chachi ma ordered for herself, Aman , Mansi asking Aarti what she wanted the baby had no clue everything was new and sounded strange to her so she said what ever Mansi wants she will have the same.

Yash who was seated opposite Aarti was trying not to be noticed how closely he was observing her, she has a beautiful voice, and expressive eyes that gives away her true emotions, I saw some fear, a lot of shyness, and a bit of nervousness she is so cute but in a different way from Prateek the little monkey, and turned his head in Prateek direction who had started a conversation with Mansi, and Aman with Aarti listening in.

"Yash beta Aman said you both attend the same school and are in the same grade, even Mansi goes there, and Aarti will start for next semester." said chachi ma " I also go there " said Prateek who did not want to be left out "You do " answered Mansi who recognize a naughty friend in Prateek and took an instant liking to the little boy." Well we can all meet during break and, lunch time to talk or play" said Yash trying his best not to show his enthusiasm with this news.

Pankaj said "Why don't we all go across to the games arcade and play until lunch arrives" this was met with an excited response for all accept Aarti who had no idea about what they were speaking off; It was Yash who came forward to reassure Aarti' Don't worry Aarti we are just going over there" pointing to the corner where the machines and games were " Our elders will be able to see us and we them ok, you can sit and play or stand or if you want just look and the next time you come you can play anything you want you can choose it will be ok" he looked down at her with so much kindness that Aarti felt relaxed the little fear she still had ease away. " Thank you Yash Bhayia" said Aarti That word BHAYIA which stopped Yash in his Tracks "NO Aarti don't call me BHAYIA I want to be your friend so just call me Yash ok and we can be friends from today" "But I call Aman Bhayia and you both are older than me and are boys" said a confused Aarti "You are correct we are both boys and are older than you, but how do you call his ma, and bau ji" asked a patient Yash; Aarti replied " I call them chachi, and chachu" "and Mansi's Parents" prompted Yash "Mama, and Papa" continued Aarti " they adopted you is it not so" said Yash hoping Aarti would get the point "That makes them your family and Mansi your sister, and Aman your brother; Pankaj bhayia, chote Prateek, and I have the same ma, bau ji, dada ji and dadi ji we are related by blood and are three brothers; we you and I" Yash pointed to the both of them are not related but we can be friends so please don't call me bhayia call me Yash and I will call you Aarti ok" Yash said with a cute puppy face that made Aarti laugh he looked so kind, trust worthy, full of love to give, and cute Aarti thought just like the stray puppy she begged Shoba ma to keep at the orphanage last year all the kids and adults love him so much that is is both the pet and guard dog. "Ok BHA... sorry, sorry Yash my new friend" Aarti responded with a smile, Yash responded with a smile held out his hand and told Aarti to take it, she was a bit nervous, and shy apart from Aman bhayia she had never held an older boy's hand,Yash noticed her reluctance give her a reassuring smile and said "this is how friends greet each other they hold hands and shake" so Aarti nervously took the offered hand and they shook hands "Friends from today" said Yash "Yes" replied a shy Aarti.
