Ch1.
A girl,of mid-20's,is combing her son's hair,who is getting ready for his school.The cute,little kid stood obediently while his Mom was making his hair.His mother helped him to pack his bag and filled the tiffin box in the bag.The boy took the water bottle and hung it around his neck. She smiled at her son's antics.She carressed her hair and placed a sloppy kiss on his cheeks,while,he smiled and returned that kiss...
The doorbell rang,announcing the arrival of her neighbour,her long lost friend,Devika,who also went through the same,just like she did.She handed her son to Devika and asked her to drop him to school. She bent down and hugged her son and waved him Bye. The kid also waved his Mom bye and zoomed off with his Devika Maasi,along with his friend,Arush.
She came inside and started to clean the table.After cleaning the table,she brought a plate of paneer and palak and some handful of tomatoes and cucumbers for salad.She started chopping the vegetables and later on,cut the paneer into 1/2 inch thick slices. Suddenly,her finger got cut by the sharp edge of the knife.She immediately held the finger tightly with a cloth,so that the bleeding. She went to flashback.
Flashback:
''Sir,Aayesha,aap sab log juice piyo. Tab tak main aap keliye kuch fruits leke aati hu.. Itni garmi hai bahar... Fresh fruits khana accha hoga..'' she said.
''Maine kitni baar bola,ki,mujhe office hours ke baad Bhai bulana,not sir.. Waise bhi,tum toh meri choti behen jaisi ho.. Waise,parso raakhi hai.. Kya plans hai pocket khaali karwane ka?'' Sameer asked her...
''Fursat se bataungi.. Abhi aap juice piyo,tabtak main fruits leke aayi,ok BHAAAIII...'' stressing on the word, ''BHAI.''
''bilkul pagal hai larki...'' Sameer nodded in negative and smiled inwardly...
She took out those freshly sliced watermelon,papaya and pineapples and took some strawberries to slices.She took a knife to slice those strawberries,when,suddenly,the knife pierced her delicate skin. Fresh red liquid oozed out from her skin.She cried,which made the others rush inside the kitchen.Sameer quickly came and tore a portion of his hankie,that made for him with her own hand,and tied it on her injured finger... It was a slight cut on her finger,but,for her Sameer bhai,nothing can be slight... He has always loved her as his own baby sister,cared for her,etc etc...
Flashback ends.
Tears fell from her eyes,as she remembered her Sameer bhai. The way he used to care for her,pamper her,she missed everything. She was a mentor for him,from whom she could learn about new facets of life and things around them. She wiped the lone tear and went inside the kitchen to cook for lunch..
Within an hour,she finished cooking for lunch and went inside her bedroom to clean up the mess.. Although,her son is very calm and quiet and very studious and sharp at everything,but,when it comes to playing,he is known as the ''biggest mastikhor'' of the highest order...
''Uff... Ki korbo ei chele ke niye... Ekdom dushtu..'' She huffed while cleaning the room. (''Uff... Kya karu main iss larke ka.. Ekdum natkhat hai yeh..'')
She took her son's toys' inside his room and keeps it inside the big toy box and was about to come out when her phone buzzed. She closed the door of her son's bedroom and took out the phone.She looked the caller id,which made her smile. She answered the call...
''Hello Aayesha Bhabi.. Kaisi hai aap? Bhai kaise hai? Aur,meri Guriya kaisi hai?''
''Tere bhai ekdum mast hai... Main bhi acchi hu.. Tei guriya bhi acchi hai,tujhe miss karti rehti hai har waqt.. Tu bol? Tu kaisi hai?''
''Main jaisi thhi waise hi hu,Bhabi.. Aapse kya chupana... Waise,Shree,Chotu,Liza kaise hai? Woh sab toh mujhe bohut miss kar rahe honge?''
''Teeno bohut acche hai aur tujhe bohut miss karte hai,Shaanu.. Accha yeh bol,Abhimanyu kaisa hai? Uska school kaisa chal raha hai? Usse apne Pap...''
''Dekhiye Bhabi... Duniya ke saamne,woh bhale hi mere baache ke Baba hai,par,mere liye nahi... Aapko yaad nahi hai ki kaise Arjun ne mere saath bartav kiya thha? I just dont want to talk about it... Waise,Abhimanyu ka school se aane ka waqt hogaya hai.. Main rakhti hu.. Bye..''
Shanaya disconnected the call,without listening what Aayesha wanted to say,or,rather say,what Arjun wanted Aayesha to ask...
