Part 7:

Finally... he filled my parting... and stamped me his.... yes.. I became Hiya Roy... from Mukherjee...

I saw my mom-dad shedding drops with smile... then I looked at my new mom-dad... they seemed happier.. obviously their daughter wasn't going away... and my heart sank with the thought... never in this 26 years of life I have thought of staying away from them... a tear was about to flow.. but I felt a firm palm on my palm.... I looked at him... he smiled... a genuine smile....

The next day I left my house.. no ..no more my house.. it's my paternal house now!! and headed to 'my' new house. My mom and dad were crying like hell.. I was no different... my mamas and all relatives had welled up eyes... "baba... don't worry, your daughter is my prized possession, I will keep none of her wishes uncalled." I heard Mayukh say to my father. Baba hugged him in reply. He promised something to ma too. Finally we left. Raya was accompanying me to his house. ooops.. my house. I was sobbing badl, so was Raya. "Raya... your jiju will take care of your didi.. dont cry bacchhaa..." he said again, somehow she stopped. But my tears were not in control when I felt a palm on my shoulder. I immediately turned and escaped into him forgetting all our differences. I heard his whisper "Hiyu please.. don't make things difficult for me".. I parted with a jolt.. what did he mean by that.. what exactly I am making difficult for him??? I looked at him straight... his eyes were red... those same red.... and those words echoed in my ears again.. I sat up straight. Wiping my tears.

His whole family welcomed me with a big.. very big smile. The rituals, to be specific those funny games started. I won most of them. He won in those in which he had cheated..!!! Mr. Ranker!!! Huh..!!!

Mamoni, my mother-in-law is very sweet.. she prepared my favourite fish curry to cheer me up. She herself called up my ma. I was liking her. Baba is also good. I was taken to thamma's room... she is a lady of early 80s... though her eyes twinkled like that of Raya... Mayukh sprang onto her lap... "see.. I brought you your barbie doll"... what?? What was that?? Compliment?? Or something else?? Am I a doll?? "Barbie doll..." thamma signalled me to sit beside her. I sat. She fished out a long gold chain with round balls and hung it around my neck. I was told that chain was something called 'matar mala' and was gifted to her by dadu..means her husband. This seemed really sweet. That monkey jumped in "where's my gift??" soon thamma shook out a 20 rupees note and handed it to him... he sulked.. and we all laughed..

"Hiya.. tonight you will be sleeping with Churni." Mamoni stated calling Churni... she was Mayukh's cousin, of Raya's age. "Churni's room???? Why??? Isn't my bed enough big??? I changed it just for her".. that idiot shouted in shock.. what the..!!!! but everyone giggled... including mamoni... "Kalratri Mayu... bear with it..." he sulked more badly.. and don't know why felt my cheeks burning... idiot...
