WEEK THIRTY SEVEN

"I am still not finding the remote." Ishita whined walking like a penguine all around. Her one hand rested on her full grown stomach and another one on her lower back as she continued looking for the TV remote.

"Puttar. Take rest and sit down. It must be somewhere around." Santosh patted Ishita back and asked her to sit ofer the couch which she refused.

"I want to watch that movie Mummy Ji." Ishita curled her lips in a possible sad pout and it was enough to melt down her mother in law heart. It was regular afternoon at Bhalla Mansion where Raman and kids were at office and school respectively and Om Prakash Bhalla went to their old society to look after some accounts related work leaving the ladies at home. Santosh asked Ishita to stay at ground floor only, especially when no one is at home. When Ishita entered in her final trimester, Santhosh converted one guest room for Ishita where she can stay and rest. She only goes upstairs when Raman comes back. Ishita was watching some comedy Tamil movie with Hindi subtitles when the TV remote misplaced and from the last twenty minutes everyone present in the house were looking for that remote.

"Mummy Ji!!" Ishita whined with scrunched up nose, Santhosh sat beside Ishita and patted her shoulder, she knew this matter is damn trivial but her daughter in law is highly emotional and over sensitive nowadays and they need lots of time to coax her.

"Are Puttar, we will find it soon. You sit here and try drinking this lemonade." Ishita sipped the lemonade made by her mother in law, her vomitting stopped finally and she was relaxed to eat whatever she wish.

"Mummy Ji, ain't i am becoming more demanding and whiny nowadays?" Ishita arched her left brow looking at her mother in law with puppy eyes.

"No dear infact you have become more adorable." Santhosh pulled Ishita nose making her giggle. "You reminded me of the days when Raman was in my stomach. Oh God! Those days were filled with confusion for me." Santhosh exclaimed dramatically making Ishita chukle.

"Bebe, Raman grandmother was a strict lady and we were supposed to perform all the household duties for the easy delivery you know. And being young and confused i often used to commit mistakes, i tell you your brain works differently in pregnancy. I used to mix salt in Bhalla ji tea." Ishita threw her head back and laughed aloud listening the same, the sweet laughter resonated in the entire Mansion making Santhosh chuckle on her antiques.

"And listen, once Shaila Bua came to visit us with her son and daughter. Her son who was six years old that time used to keep little long hairs, so once Shaila Bua asked me to braid her daughter hairs and instead of her daughter, i made two piggie tails on the either side on his head. Ishita continued to laugh aloud holding her stomach. Santosh swatted her arm, feared if this constant laughter might cause her pain.

"Thank god my brain didn't messed up with me." Ishita whispered after few minutes, calming down her nerves. "You know what Amma done once when she was pregnant with me?"

"What what??"

"She went at the end of the street to dump the garbage taking Vandu Akka along and she ended up leaving Vandu Akka there and came back with the polythene of garbage." Santhosh clapped her hand together enjoying the blunders done by her favourite samdhan. The ladies duo were enjoying their own sweet time when the two figures entered through main door caught their attention and Ishita face beamed with delight.
