"Aiyye aunty, aao na yn", a girl welcomed.
"Mom, Dad dekho na, yn aur uski family aayi hai", she yelled.
"Ab kya chillati hee rahogi ya bethayegi bhi", a woman came while saying this. Everybody seated.
"Sheila, apni dost se nahi milwayegi?", the woman asked.
"Kya yaar maa? Itni kya formality. Aapki beti jaisi toh hai yn", Sheila replied.
"Haan bilkul", she said.
"Takleef ke liye maafi chahti hoon par kya karu? Yn abhi bachi hai. Usko akele chodh nahi sakte hum aur phir humara jaana bhi zaruri hai. Islye aapke paas chodh rahe hai", yn's mum said while lowering her gaze.

Actually, she lost her brother and have to urgently go India. She can't take yn with her because yn is phobic to long journey. Yn's mum and Sheila's mum are childhood best friends but yn and Sheila are just friends as they live far away. So she decided to handover yn in their hands for some time.

"Takleef ki kya baat hai. Yeh yn ka bhi ghar hai", Sheila's mum made a sweet gesture.

.......

At midnight, yn was drinking water in the kitchen. Suddenly, she saw a shadow in the garden. She got scared but gained courage to have a look at it. She took a knife and tip toed towards the garden.
The person's back was facing her. She covered the person's mouth with her hand and started shouting, "Chor! Chor! Aunty, Sheila. Jaldi aao. Ghar mein chor ghus aaya".

Everybody hurriedly came in the garden. Yn uncovered the person's face. It was a guy with intense brown eyes which were glaring yn.
"Bhai, Riyaz", a double voice said.
"Bhai? Riyaz?", yn said with confusion and embarassment.
"Chewr-Chewr (Chor Chor). Kardiya na saara surprise kharab", Riyaz mocked yn. He looked at his mum and continued, "Maa, aapne yeh kaisi maids ko job de rakhi hai".
"Mai tumhe maid nazar aati hoon?", yn asked in anger.
"Jab tumhe mujh jaisa handsome ladka chor nazar aa sakta hai, toh tum jaisi chipkali maid hee nazar aayegi nah", he replied in anger.
"Chipkali? How dare you call me that? Bloody chuchundar", yn shoted.
"Oh English? Mai bhi America return hoon. Mai logon ka naam tak english mein bol sakta hoon", he said with pride.
"Impossible", yn replied rolling her eyes.
"Tumhara naam English mein hota toh, it would be.. " and he made a thinking face. Yn was desperately waiting to know her English name.
Rii looked at yn and whispered, "Lizard". Yn groaned and left in anger.

"Kyu sata raha hai bechari ko", mum said to Rii.
"Koyi bechari vechari nahi hai woh. Chaalu ladki hai ek number ki. Saara surprise kharab kar diya mera. Waise hai kaun yeh?", Rii asked.
"Tujhe meri best friend Rima yaad hai? Unki beti hai yeh. Kuch din ke liye aayi hai...", she explained.
The inner Rii said, "Beti nahi aafat hai. Abhi aaya hoon aur itna irritate kar diya. Pata nahi ab aage kya karegi"

"Yeh sab baatein chodho. How was your journey? Itne years ke baad aaye ho aur humse gale bhi nahi lage", Sheila said with a cute pout. Rii smiled and shared a family hug.

........

It was past dawn, Rii was surfing internet as he have a bad habit of sleeping during the day time.

"Aaj itni bhook kyu lag rahi hai?", he asked to his stomach.
"Chup chap jaake kitchen mein dekh. Mujhe mat sikha kab khana hai aur kab nahi", his imaginary voice of stomach replied.

Rii got up and went into the kitchen.
On the way back, his gaze stuck upon yn's room. He slightly opened the door and peeped inside. He saw her sleeping peacefully.
"Meri neendein uda kar yahan araam se soyi padi hai. Abhi batata hoon ise toh", he said to himself as an even idea popped his mind.
