Thanks to all who have read, commented and supported me throughout this FF. I love you guys, and honestly wiht your comments, I get the strength to write! I hope you enjoy this part, and before I go on I'd like to thank Mannu di and Robina dii for helping me with the hindi translations, for I am clueless when it comes to writing and speaking in Hindi. Thank you both so much!
Part 2~His Life
The clock struck noon- usually this time was for lunching, but in the Sabarwal mansion- breakfast was yet to be served. Nandu Kaka, an elderly worker who had served the Sabarwals his entire life was humming his way up the long stairway to begin his daily chores.
He noticed that one of the doors were still closed shut, and so he decided to carefully unlock it.
Nandu Kaka: Abhi tak soraha hain? Aur waqt dheeko, saare baareh baj raha hain, nekamah kahin ka!!
Nandu kaka made his way over to the window and opened the blinds. It was fairly sunny out, and the streets were busy as usual.
Nandu Kaka: Uth jao!!!
There was no movement.
Nandu kaka strolled around the large room, dusting off the dirty furniture.
"Yahan sab kaam mujhe hi karne padte hain! (Dusts some more furniture, this time a bit harder) Mujhe hi khana banana padta hai, saaf safai karni padti hai, bazar se samaan lana padta hai, ghar theek thaak rakhna padta hai aur sabse badi baat tumhara khayal bhi mujhe hi rakhna padta hai!"
Nandu Kaka looked straight into the jumbo-sized bed where he laid. Waking him up was a daily task. No matter how hard Kaka tried, his work always went in vain.
"Uth Jao meri baap! (shakes the bed) Mere serials khatam hone wale hain!"
If there was something Kaka couldn't live without, it had to be his serials. Kaka himself was a very filmy person, and thus he carelessly finished up his work so he could sit in front of the television all day long.
"Sirf 2 more minutes." He grumbled, as he went back to sleep.
Nandu Kaka: Naylaakh! Sab samein 2 minutes 2 minutes karta hai, par utne ka naam nahin laita hai!
Kaka threw away his washcloth, and positioned himself to leave the room.
"Arre! Kaka where are you going?"
Nandu kaka: RAHUL! Tere hi kamee ti. Tu iss gaadhe ko utaa!
Nandu kaka stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Rahul (thinking to himself): Someone's in a bad mood.
He then walked his way over to the bed.
Rahul (whispering): Robbie? Robbie? Wake up man!
Robbie tossed and turned around like a baby.
Rahul (pokes Robbie in the arm): ABHE YAAR! Get UP!
Robbie (moaning): Let me sleep!
Rahul: ROBBIE! Devika chachi is waiting downstairs! And you know why!
This caught Robbie's attention. He quickly jumped out of bed.
"OH SHIT!"
Rahul: No, you're going to be in shit if you don't make it downstairs in 5 minutes!
--- 5 minutes later
Devika: NANDU KAKA! Why haven't you set the table yet? Do I always have to remind you to do the basic things?
Nandu kaka: AAYI! (now thinks to himself) Yeh karo, wo karo. Hamesha mein kyun kaam karu?
Robbie and Rahul snuck downstairs, and Robbie prayed that Devika wouldn't notice him.
Nandu kaka: Arre Robbie!
"SHIT!"
Devika turned around to see her son dressed in his casual attire, and the usual arrogant smile spread across his face.
Devika: Robbie! Do you have any idea what time it is?
Robbie: Mo-
Devika: NO! I don't want to hear it. You know when you're expected to wake up. It's because of this lazy attitude of yours that I am being forced to put you into public school!
Robbie rolled his eyes, knowing what he was in for. His mother always lectured him on everything, and he always ignored everything she said.
Devika: LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM SPEAKING TO YOU!
Robbie: Okay. There, happy?
Devika: If you don't raise your marks up this time- then I will seriously inherit you from all of my property- you get that?
"Whatever." Robbie mouthed the words as if he didn't care.
But Rahul knew that Robbie cared, Infact he knew that Robbie REALLY cared. They had been friends ever they were rich (which is technically forever.) At times, Rahul felt like him and Robbie were closer then brothers, for even though they didn't share any blood relations, they had a closer bond then one could ever know.
Rahul: So sorry to interrupt Devika chachi, but we'll be late if we reach there any later.
Devika nodded in agreement. "Okay then. We'll see you both when Robbie's marks improve. Until then, enjoy your last few seconds in the Sabarwal mansion Robbie."
