"Amma I'm leaving for work!" She told nano coming in her room in the morning. Nano was on a call with someone when she instantly kept her phone aside and called her in. She made Zimal sit in front of her on the bed to talk to her about something she couldn't find right words for.

"Is she going with you too?"

"Who? Oh rumi! No, she's still sleeping."

"Can you come home, around 5 in the evening?"

"Why? I came early yesterday too!" Nano couldn't escape a word out of her mouth. "Is everything okay Nano Amma?" She put her hand on hers throwing a worrisome glance her way.

"Everything's fine, but i want you here around that time."

"Why though? Do you need to go to the doctor's?" She was actually concerned now.

"There's someone coming to meet you."

"Amma, not again!"

"Please mera beta. Won't you listen to your Amma?" Nano cupped her right cheek pleading her to come.

"You're emotionally blackmailing now!"

And Nano broke into a chuckle pulling Zimal into her embrace, and kissing the top of her head on her bandana knowing that she has surrendered.

"Hello, it's me Bella!"

"Bella whose number is it?"

"Oh, it's my best friend's!"
