One Indian Daughter

holi festival

New York:
After breakfast, when Siya was back home then Stella asked her "Siya where were you yesterday?"
She replied " mom I had gone to my parent's home and my dad had asked me to stay for a night"
"Fine but next time don't go without telling" but Siya ignored her orders and went back to her room.
After she entered the room, Paul asked her "are you back?"
She looked at him and replied "yeah  so?" then he stood up and said, "because I wanted that you should never come back". This made her sad and she cried " Paul... please .... no...." and he went down for breakfast as it was Saturday and an office holiday.

It was holi and Danny called up his friend "happy holi dear"
"Happy Holi Danny. How are you ?"
"I am fine but why are speaking in such a low tone"
She replied "nothing Danny I am ill. I will talk to you later,  bye"
"Ok take care of yourself. Bye " and he kept the phone. He thought "what has happened to her? Is she ill or in trouble?"

Ahmedabad:
Menka said to Pravin "happy holiday "
He smiled "happy Holi Menkaji, where is Shikha?" then she arrived "everyone was thinking about me."
Pravin laughed "yes.... yes... and where is Danny?". Danny came into the hall and said "Happy Holi papa, maa, and masi".
Pravin said "happy holi beta "

At Abhijeet's home, the celebration was taking place. During  lunch Abhijeet said "Pravin I owe you a debt otherwise I will lose my everything to you" then he said, "Don't worry friend, I will pay you after marriage because you had done  this to help me".  Then Sumitra came with gujiyas, ras malai, samosas, and Mathias. She laid it on the table and said "Pravin Bhai have it especially made by your future bahu Advira".
Pravin laughed "Advira was an expert in cooking since her teenage bhabhi" and Shikha smiled "that's great". Kusum looked at her and said, "yes why not Shikha because if bahu wiis be a perfect cook, then only their husband will be happy". Everyone laughed on listening to this except Shikha and Menka.  

Menka said to Shikha personally  in the balcony "your bahu is coming soon Shikha"
She sighed "I know that did but don't worry, see what will happen after marriage"

New York:
On Saturdays and Sundays, Stella always said to her cooking staff to cook special meals.  Instead of her staff, Siya cooked lunch.
Stella tasted it and said "wow Siya I didn't know that you're such a nice cook"
She smiled "Thanks mom" and then they both laid the food on the table. Paul came downstairs for lunch after his virtual conference. After everyone sat down, Paul said "let's start eating" and everyone began but suddenly after eating two bites of pudding, Paul went out of breath.  Stella and Siya watched him in horror,  then Siya said "Hank call the doctor quickly", she held him and soothed him "Paul don't worry". Stella said to one of the servants "go and bring the inhaler from the first aid box" and then she brought it.  After inhaling, Paul came to his senses but his body began to get heated up. Stella touched his head and said to Siya "take your husband to your bedroom" and she took him to the room. 
After Paul fell asleep then Stella asked Siya "what had you mixed in the pudding?", she replied by trembling "mom I had mixed dry fruits in the pudding". On listening to this she flew out of rage and said angrily "idiot do you want to kill my son. If something would have happened then ... . He is allergic to dry fruits" then she cried "sorry mom I didn't know about this..". She replied "Siya you're his wife so you should take care of these things" then Siya said, "mom I promise this mishap will never happen again".
Stella said "ok go to your room now" and she nodded and went back to her room.
