"Maa, look who's here...." Prachi called out.
Pragya turns around with a smile to face them.
"Maa, he is my new friend Ranbir. Ranbir, meet my mother Mrs. Pragya Mehra." Prachi introduced them to each other.
"Hello Ranbir. I have heard a lot about you. Prachi really likes you a lot." Pragya said.
"MAA!"
"What? I meant you like him as a friend. Why are you over reacting? Ranbir understood what I meant, didn't you?"
"Yes.....Aunty......" Ranbir said somewhat uncertainly.
"Don't call me aunty. Do I look like an oldie?" she asked Ranbir.
"Sorry..... Not at all..... But how shall I address you?"
"You can call me mom." Pragya said nonchalantly.
Prachi's eyes widened in surprise and Ranbir was at a loss of words.
"Don't mind.....Actually, all of Prachi's friends call me that, so......"
"Maa, they were my school friends!" Prachi exclaimed.
"I think I'll call you anki." Ranbir said.
"What does it mean?"
"It's a mixture of aunty and kaki." he explained.
"Aww..... It's so sweet. You can definitely call me that." Pragya said heartily.
*****
When Prachi took away Ranbir with her, Aryan had nowhere to go. So, he decided to go to the backstage to meet Shahana. Since the guards were familiar with him by then, they did not stop him.
The sight at the backs made him stop and stare. He removed his shades to have a better look at the person in front of him.
