Ch-5 The guessing game

"I missed you so much, my little munchkin." I said while hugging her tightly with the constant smile on my face. I face her while breaking our and kissed her chubby and soft cheeks. After I kiss her, she look at me with her doe-like eyes which got from her mother with raised eyebrows like she is reading my face.

"Offo! MJ" By saying that she palm her forehead with her small hands and she shook her head in...disappointment? "What?" I ask with a frown. "What you're gonna do without me? I was like, three days away from you and what you've done to yourself. Were you not eating your food properly? Hmm?" She added while placing her on her hips.

I laugh at her antiques, she is so cute while mimicking Prachi aunty, I mean mom. Yeah I call her mom, after my mumma's death. "Sorry mom." I play along with her.

"Look at this drama queen. She is behaving as if she is feeding you since forever by herself." Meera snorted while behind me. Aavya glare at her mumma.

"Don't look at me like that, you little brat. You should be glad that you are not being punished after what you did at your grandparent's house." She warned and I can feel her glare from my behind.

"What she did?" I ask in confusion while looking at the little devil in front of me who can be declared as the real balls of satan. Right now she is looking at me with those pleading eyes and that cute puppy face which melts me within seconds and the worst part is, she knew that. She is looking so innocent right now but I know the reality, how devil she can be at times after all I am by her side since she was in the womb of her mumma.

"Come on tell your MJ what you did at your grandma's house." Meera said. I waited for few seconds and I realized neither the mother is going to speak, nor the daughter. So I guess, we are playing the guessing game here.

"Did you decorate there wall with your art?" I guessed with sarcasm, she shook her head negatively. "Then there clothes or their faces while they were sleeping?" I guessed again and she shook her head again.

"You throw their stuff on the streets while thinking that you are cleaning the house?" I asked again.

"Offo! MJ" After saying that she palm her head with her small hand, she do it very often. It's like one of her habit now.

"You are embarrassing me now. I used to do these things when I was small. Now I am a big girl." She said like I just hurt her ego.

"Yeah and this big girl don't do these petty things now. This big girl now burn people's hair with hair straightener." As Meera said that I snap my head towards her immediately.

"What?" I am sure shock must be visible on face because I am shocked. "Yeah." She said with a sigh. "Who?" I ask.

"Tanya. She burn her hair while she was sleeping upto her shoulder in zig zag form." She said and I can see the amusement on her face but she is trying her best not burst of laugh but I am not good at controlling my laugh like her.

So even after earning glares from her, I burst out of laughing and very soon Meera and Aavya also joined me.

"Oh.. Oh my... God. I shouldn't have imagine her in that hairstyle." I said in between my laugh while I was out of my breaths.

"I agree." Meera agreed while wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes and continue her laugh. We laugh for few minutes while imagining Tanya in that zig zag hairstyle given by our little devil. I know it's wrong to laugh but we can't help it.

"Why did you do that?" I ask her, when finally we controlled our laugh. "She said very bad words about you, when grandpa said that he wants to invite you too in her and uncle Varun's wedding. So I got angry." She said and felt Meera's hand on my shoulder with a soft squeeze sympathetically.
