"Relationship is not a one way road, instead its a two way, either side of which is constantly under construction"
Ridhima was sitting in her balcony with her coffee in her hand talking to her mom.
"So have you meet Sid" she asked the very first question without even greeting her.
"And once again mom, i am fine." ridhima said looking away from screen from where she knew her mom is staring right back at her.
"Ridhima sorry beta... anyway since you already told about your well being tell me how was sid." padma continued teasing ridhima further.
"Mom... fine he was okay." padma waited for more words or expression but it was silent and blank.
"Where you guys meet and what you talk about" padma enquire.
"Mom please.... " ridhima felt uneasy to tell what she did to sid.
"What please. Tell me na. what happend, do you like him"
"Mom. I did meet him but I don't know anything ahead." ridhima confessed. "Actually i pushed him in water"
"What" padma was shocked to hear what her introvert child just said, it took a while for padma to process that piece of information.
"Yes. He pushed me of my bed when we were kids so today i pushed him off the boundary into the water" ridhima gave her side of clearance for her actions.
"Ridhima its freezing out there. How can you do that, poor boy" padma felt sympathetic towards that sid guy.
"He is no way poor boy, first he pushed me off and after years i did the same with atleast water so he might not hurt bad" she suggested
"Ridhima....." but ridhima cut her mom diverting the topic. "I missed on my dinner but whatever"
"What... why you haven't taken your dinner yet." she asked getting worried "Are you okay. do you have bad stomach, do you have fever, still you are sitting outside. Go inside ridhima" Padma was panicking.
Before Ridhima can say anything she heard muskaan from behind approaching her "There is nothing aunty she is just doing drama infront of you. She is totally fine. She told you about not having dinner and thats because she had heavy snacks in evening" muskaan sat on another bean bag hitting ridhima playfully on head for making her favourite aunty worried.
"Ridhima...... hunh. Anyway, muskaan how are you my child. Its been long since i got any call from you. Whats up with you now a days." Padma totally ignored Ridhima for making her worry for nothing.
"Yes aunty. i know its been so long talking to you. i miss you chit chats, thats the reason i heard your voice and came to talk to you. i was busy with exhibition" Muskaan update Padma taking away the phone from Ridhima's hand.
"Hey.... I was talking and she is my mom" ridhima got possessive of her mother giving all attention to her friend instead of her. She tried to snatch her phone out of Muskaan's hand but got unsuccessful.
"Aunty... there is so much disturbance here." muskaan spoke showing tongue to Ridhima.
"Hunh.... Why are you not talking to me" ridhima said peeping little into the phone to complain to padma but instead muskaan replied "Because you make her worry for no reason, now you Shut-up and let me talk."
Ridhima was left with hanging mouth while muskaan move in Ridhima's room laying on the bed she talk to padma for half and hour catching up with her while Ridhima kept sitting outside in balcony with frowning face.
"Aunty wants to ask you something" Muskaan said coming out with phone in her hand looking at frowning ridhima only to see her move her face in different direction.
