Chapter 13
Eleven months later it had been a remarkable time the children's friendship grew a strong bond developed between AarYa, the elders were happy, and amused by their relationship if one felt pain the other will sense it like twins, they had started to communication through the use of body language, [stares, a cough, wave of the hand, smile } Aarti being an outdoor girl loved to visit the stable she loved her pony, the groom had explained, and shown her how to take care of her pony. Yash made sure that every time she visited the stable he would also be there; they loved to race and of course Yash would always make her win; he loved to see the pure delight reflected on her face when she got her pony to move faster. Aarti did not care about winning she was just happy her pony could keep up with Yash's big stallion even if she suspected that Yash kept his horse back it was still fun.
All the kids were doing well in school; Yash, and Aman after years of being in opposing teams were finally in the same football, and cricket teams; now they are best buddies realizing that they shared many same interest. Aman celebrated his thirteenth birthday two months before Yash the Sharmas had a sport theme birthday celebration with a cricket match that both kids and adults had lots of fun, followed by dinner, and dancing. Aarti loves dancing, and mingling with the kids present; she is a friendly girl who loves to talk Mansi and Sunita loved speaking of fashion with the girls Aarti would join in the conversation but soon became bored Yash would come to her rescue taking her to meet his and Aman's friends who did not mind having her around, she liked comics, tv shows, and sports, they also enjoyed having the beautiful little girl in their group she was not hard on their teen aged eyes but could pack a punch if provoked.
The month of October is AarYa's birthday and both families decided that they shall celebrate their birthday together in the middle of the month; for Yash's official birthday the Scindhias had a simple pooja at home with the close relatives and friends, Maya insisted that she invite her friends the parents of Ishatia, and little Aripta of course the girls would accompany their respective parents. Maya wanted to use every opportunity to show off this girls in front of the now teenage Yash. Suraj and his bau ji were aware of her plans but they let her be her plotting, and planning amused them.
Yash insisted that Aarti sit next to him for the pooja, she was alongside him when they shared food, and gifts for the poor, receiving their blessing too. Prateek who was never far from his Aarti didi walked behind her protecting her like a little pit bull pup, anyone who dare say anything about his didi got a stare down from him, he would put his hands on his waist and stand legs apart all ready to do battle for his didi. Whenever Maya tried to get Yash alone she always had Aripta and Ishitha along but Prateek would come in between with Paridhi, he did not like those girls at all.
The middle of the month came the families decided that the celebration would take place at the Scindhia's farmhouse nestled on fifteen acres of land in the outskirts of Bhopal. Scindhia Sr. told Maya that this is a private affair she is not allowed to invite no one at all, this made Maya angry and she threatened not to accompany the family, he bau ji just smiled and told he do as she wishes, but she is still not allowed to invite anyone, and they are spending a long weekend at the farmhouse with or without her. Maya realize that her father was dead serious, and she dare not go against his order, so she begrudgjngly accompanied them for the celebration.
The families arrived at the farmhouse mid evening they had invited the kids from Aarti's old home there were twelve kids between the ages of fourteen and eight months all were accompanied by their care givers the three couples. Aarti was so excited to see her mas, and papas again a few of the older kids she knew the rest were new to her. They even brought her dogie for the celebrations, he was a strong two year old who remembered Aarti the dog was so happy he licked, and jumped on her wanting to remain at her side all the time. Aarti's biological parents were present they planned to use this time to get to know their princess.
The plan was to have a camp out theme there were tents set up on the grounds with a campfire for cooking, have their meals outdoors, everyone would sleep in the tents but of course use the indoor pluming [washrooms] After dinner the elders would take turns with a story from their childhood, or a fairy tale, sometimes a scary story will be told much to the delight of the kids. The little dog was a hit with the Sharmas and Scindhia elders who wanted to keep him, little did they know that he was the gift from the orphanage for Aarti.
During the day the elders took the kids exploring the grounds, and the village. Akash, and Aripta were so happy to have this time with their child they looked closely at her how she had grown in these past months not only physically, but also mentally, her confidence soar, and she is so beautiful, kind and a loving child. Their heart swelled with pride their baby was safe and growing up just how they hoped. The one sore spot was Maya and her behaviour towards their child, they spoke to their friend Suraj who assured them that he and his father will handle Maya.
Buddies a short update with a small leap you will realize that there was no dialogue I wanted to show that the friendship of AarYa was growing strong, their bond was increasing, Maya was warned to stop her meddling but knowing her she will not, even though she knows her family is aware of her intentions, and will put an end to her meddling. Akash, and Aripta were spending time with their child away from prying eyes, enjoying their time.
Next update another small leap with a thirteen year old Aarti and a sixteen year old Yash.
