Abhishek (with a smile): Rimi timi
Reem (giggle): Papa...
She held Abhishek's hand.
Reem (patting his palm): Papa...
Abhishek (pinching her nose): Reemi...
Reem (angrily): Eee!!
Vaishnavi: Arey! Abhishek, she is asking you to apply henna on your hand.
Reem: Aaagguuu!!
Abhishek (shocked): No... Main nahin.
Reem (sadly): Huhuhuhuhuhu
Abhishek (pout): Please baby...
Reem shook her head.
Abhishek (fake sad pout): Acha okay...
Reem giggle. She held Abhishek's shirt in her small clutches and stood up on his lap. She pecked Abhishek's cheek and chuckled in excitement.
Abhishek: Bilkul apni maa par gayi ho. Pura din buttering karo
Reem (patting Abhishek's hand): Abababab...
Vaishnavi: Chalo chalo jaldi karo. Kya timepass kar rahe ho.
Abhishek rolls his eyes. Vaishnavi giggles. So Reem.
Abhishek: Main khud ko kaise lagau?
Vaishnavi: Do main lagati hoon.
Reem snatched the cone from his hand and give it to Vaishnavi. Vaishnavi chuckled and took the cone and held Abhishek's hand.
Vaishnavi: Reem likhu?
Reem nodded while clapping. Vaishnavi did. Reem forwarded her hands to Vaishnavi.
Vaishnavi (shocked): Reemi ko bhi.
Reem (giggle): Ee...
Abhishek took the cone from Vaishnavi's hand and hid it behind him.
Abhishek: Haw!! Cone khatam kar diya. Ab meri Reemi kya lagayegi?
Reem was looking around in search of the cone.
Vaishnavi (sad face): Sorry meri reemi. Kal papa dusra leke aayege. Theek hain?
Abhishek: Oh yes! Bada wala. Sirf reemi lagayegi.
Reem nodded with a pout. Abhishek giggle. He blew on his henna, trying to divert her mind. Reem giggle joining him. Vaishnavi's phone rang.
Abhishek: Maa ka call hoga. I told her hum grocery shop par hain and tum washroom gayi ho.
Vaishnavi nodded. She went into the room to receive the call. Abhishek and Reem were busy blowing Abhishek's henna to dry it.
With Vaishnavi...
Vaishnavi: Hello
Rehana: Kaha ho?
Vaishnavi: Hum abhi aaye ghar.
Rehana: Acha theek hain par darwaza to proper lock kiya kar. Ek hi lock lagaya. Responsibility samajhni chaye na. Bachi to nahin ho ab tum.
Vaishnavi: Ji main dhayan rakhugi.
Rehana: Mere bete ki puri mehnat hain us ghar ko banane, sazane and sambhalne me. Tumhe uski value karni hogi.
Vaishnavi: Jii...
Rehana: Kal Sunday hain. Main aur Abhishek ke papa vaha aate hain. Breakfast karke aayege. Pura din vahin rahege. Abhishek ko bol dena ghar hi rahe. Maa baap ki koi kadar hi nahin. Aesi kya patti padhai hain usko?
Vaishnavi stayed quiet.
Rehana: Hum aate hain kal phir... Bye.
She hangs up the call.
Vaishnavi: Ignore it... Jo apni grandchild ki value nahin kar rahi. Vo child jo uski family blood hain. Vo teri kya value karegi. Ignore kar.
She sighed and went out to see Abhishek and Reem giggling. She smiled at them. Abhishek saw her.
Abhishek: Kya hua? kya bola?
Vaishnavi (sighed): Kal vo log yaha aa rahe hain. I mean she wants to spend some time with you. To bola breakfast ke baad aayege. I tried to say no but chance hi nahin diya.
Abhishek's eyes were wide open.
Abhishek: Yaha aayege to Reemi?
Reem heard her name and giggle.
Reem: Papa...
Abhishek saw her and smiled.
Vaishnavi: I thought, you will handle it. Kal tak ka time hain to.
Abhishek: Kuch sochna padega.
Vaishnavi: Main and Reem Sumedh bhaiya ke ghar jaye to?
Abhishek: Tum nahin jaa sakti. Mom ulta double drama karegi. Sunday hain to hum Sumedh and Mallika ke yaha Reem ko kar sakte hain drop. Main puchta hoon Sumedh se.
Vaishnavi (nodded): Dinner serve karu?
Abhishek: Main hand wash karke tum jab tak Reem ke sath baitho.
Vaishnavi went and took reem in her arms. Abhishek stood up and went towards the washroom.
Reem saw a cone on the sofa which Abhishek hid behind himself. She quickly crawls towards the cone and took it.
Reem (excitedly): Papa papa papa papa...
Vaishnavi (shocked): No baby...
Abhishek saw them and came there. Vaishnavi glared at him.
Abhishek: Reemi ye papa ko do. Papa lagayege aapko.
Reem excitedly handed him a cone. He threw it somewhere.
Reem: Papa...
Abhishek: Kidhar gaya cone?
Reem (looking around): Haww!!
Vaishnavi: Cone khatam kar diya Abhishek?
Reem: Haww!! Papa papa...
Vaishnavi (fake anger): Cone finish kar diya. Bad manners. Reemi ke liye kal bada wala leke aana.
Reem (angrily): Papa...
Abhishek: Haan papa kal leke aayege Reemi ke liye.
Reem nodded with an angry look.
Vaishnavi: Baap ree!!! Abhi bukh lagi hain mujhe chalo chalo... Reemu meri help karo
She took reem and went into the kitchen. Diverting her mind.
Abhishek quickly washed his hands and started helping Vaishnavi.
After dinner, he spoke with Sumedh asking if Reem can stay with him for a day or not. Sumedh agreed of course.
