Inside ACP Quarters: Aurangabad
"Mohit zara hari chai lana," A woman calls while applying nailpaint.
"Abhi to aapne coffee banane ko bola tha," Mohit answers back.
"To ab main Hari chai bol rahi hoon. Tera kaam bas jo main kahoon use manna hai, kainchi ki tarah zubaan chalana nahi."
"Huh, green tea bolna tak nahi aata, aur hari chai piyengi ye. Malhar Bhau rehte hain to Pallavi Vahini control me rehti hain magar Bhau kaam se teen din ke liye Satara gaye hain to ye to mera maatha satka dengi."
"Pallavi, main kya keh rahi thi ki Sampada aur Malhar bachpan ke dost hain. Dono ek doosre ko pasand bhi karte hain to kyon na inki shaadi...."
"Thamb, thamb Aparna," Pallavi said, "IPS afsar hai mera devar. Ladki dhoodungi to aisi jo uske barabar hogi. Teri Sampada to bas ek mamooli si publishing company me naukri karti hai. Uski aur mere Malhar me kya baraabri hai?"
Aparna thinks to herself, "Sab jaanti hoon...apne IPS devar ke naam pe khoob saare paise kamaane ke sapne paal rakhe hain is Pallavi ne. Dahej to Malhar ise lene nahi dega, isliye Moti kamaai vaali nahi dhoondh rahi hai jiski salary apne kabze me rakh le. Par main bhi dekhti hoon, kaise hoti h Malhar ki shaadi?"
Pallavi thinking to herself, "Paise wali Bahu dhoodungi aur use apne ishaaron pe nachaungi, saath hi uski salary bhi meri. Vaah Pallavi tu to Rani banne ka rahi h. Us Malhar ko saas sasur ke marne ke baad itna padhaya likhaya ki acche paise kamaakar de mujhe, magar use to imandaari ke keede ne kaata hai. Uske classmates jo UPSC crack tak nahi kar paye the aaj dollars me kamaa rahe hain. Aur ye hai ki sarkaari pagaar me hi santusht hai. Magar bas, devar nahi badal sakti to devrani to apni pasand ki laa hi sakti hoon jo mera har hukum maane aur meri har iccha poori kare."

Ek laal batti waali car khadi huyi hai jiske aage District Magistrate likha hua hai.
Anupriya makes Kalyani eat sugar and curd and says, "Aurangabad pahunchkar mujhe phone karna."
"Haan Aai main charge sambhaalte hi tujhe call kari hoon," Kalyani said. She was wearing a plain dark blue Sari with hair in a bun.
"Aur haan vahaan kisi ladke ke saath bhaag mat jaana!"
Anupriya says in disgust, "Kya bolti hain aap Aau Saheb? Kam se kam aaj meri beti ke liye itna bada din h aaj to aisi baatein mat kariye."
"Ham to sirf sach kehte hain," AS said, "Aur sach hamesha kadwa hi hota hai. Kitna kehte the ki vo Atharv sahi ladka nahi h. Magar meri to koi sunta hi nahi h. Isne bhi nahi suni. Bhaag gayi aur hamari ijjat mitti me mila di. Jab iska pati ise peetta tha to hamne hi sahara diya tha isko."
Anupriya said, "Aur ye jo aap saare Wakad me ghoom ghoom kar kehti hain ki meri poti DM hai, ye mauka bhi Kalyani ne hi aapko diya hai. Aur ye ghar sirf aapka nahi h Aau Saheb, ye ghar mera bhi utna hi hai."
"Accha Aai mujhe der ho rahi hai, main chalti hoon," Kalyani said.
Uske kaanon me abhi bhi Atharv ki aawaz goonj rahi thi, "Hamara beta mara paida nahi hua tha Kalyani. Aau Saheb ne tumse jhooth kaha tha. Vo zinda hai."
