Ahaan

"Aur phir hamne Kartik ko unn cute frocks mei dance karvaya tha." Saying this, Chachi and Maa laughed out loud while we all followed and burst into laughter. I saw Kartik making an irritating face and chuckled.

"Mummy yarrr!! Mujhe nahi dekhni ye photos. Bas ladkiyon vale kapde hi pehnaye the kya mujhe?" He asked with a foul face while forcefully closing the photo album that was in Maa's hand. To be precise, half on Chachi's lap and half on Maa's.

"Arre toh main kya karti?" Chachi pulled his cheeks "Ek toh tu tha hi inna cute upar se maine socha tha ladki hogi. Toh maine sari ladkiyon ke kapdon ki shopping ki thi. Par phir tu ho gaya. Ab aise hi thodi jane deti vo pyaare kapde aur cute jootiyan." Chachi tried to explain her point, making all of us laugh on Kartik's scrunched face while I took a sip of beer, stood up from the couch, sat near Maa on the floor, sided the album a little and put my head on her lap.

We were sitting in the lounge, cherishing old memories. Dadi had a photo album hidden which was of those time, before she lied to all of us about Maa. She, after so many years, remembered about this and here we were, reliving those moments. Or, to be precise, The elders were reliving our childhood memories.

"Bhabhi... Ye dekhiye. Ye vali photo yaad hai?" Maa looked at the picture that Chachi was pointing out.

In that picture, Sonu was looking around 2-3 months and was in Maa's arms, while Kartik was around 8–9 months and was sitting beside Maa and had his head on her lap. Maa's arms were wrapped around Sonu protectively. The three were sleeping while I was covering them with a blanket and I was also around 5–6 years old.

"Haa. Mujhe acche se yaad hai. Main bahut thaki huyi thi aur Sonu ko aise hi god mei liye sula rahi thi. Tab hi Kartik aaya aur mere baju mei baith gaya. Maine Sonu ko acche se lekar uska sar gaud mei rakha aur ek kahani suna rahi thi. Pata hi nahi chala kab inn dono ko sulate sulate aankh lag gaye thi. Subah uthi toh ek chadar hamare upar thi aur Ahaan bed par sar rakhe zamin par baitha soya hua tha." Maa caressed my hairs while I found that 'sukoon' in her warmth and embrace.

"Awwww... Bhaiya kitne caring the aur hai bhi. No doubt he's the best brother." Sonu complimented me while I smiled, still in Maa's lap.

It feels good to spend time with family and relish those beautiful old moments, and I was content. What more can I ask for when I have such a great family! A loving and caring wife, a cute sister, a funny and silly brother, but at times he acts mature, a mother like Chachi, and a father like Chachu. My mother, who cares for me and loves me a lot, is showering me with the lost love of twenty years, and my dadi.

Dadi! I still haven't forgotten what she has done. We are on speaking terms and have forgiven her for our happy future, but I can't forget what she did to harm and break our family. Ishqi would have almost died if I hadn't arrived on time. The mere thought scares me still. But I don't want to discuss all this, as we are heading to a bright and happy future. Tiffs and fights still happen between us, but we patch up at the end of the day, and this is what makes us feel bliss!

"Maa dekhiye na. Sonu kitni pyaari lag rahi hai iss red frock mei." Ishqi said while pointing towards a picture where a girl of around two or so was standing in a red frock while hands joined for fun, and the girl was cutely laughing.

After hearing Ishqi, the elders again started laughing while I moved my head a little up from Maa's laps and looked at the photo. I chuckled at the thought of why they were laughing and then joined Chachu on the couch.
