Few weeks after that chess game
Late evening
Anubhav came home tired and sat on the sofa when Ishaan and Divisha came happily running towards him.
Divisha: dekhiye maine kya banaya (happily showing him a family picture which she herself drew)
AS: wow yeh toh bahut pretty hai (smiling)
Ishaan: aur dekhiye maine aaj yeh likha (excitedly showing him a paragraph which he wrote on 'My Family')
AS: tumne bhi bahut pyaara likha hai (praising him)
Divisha: pata hai meri teacher ko bhi bahut pasand aaya (merrily)
AS: tumne itna accha banaya hai aur tumne itna accha likha hai...shukriya (taking water from Ishika)
Ishaan: aap thodi der rest kar lijiye uske baad hum aur bhi masti karenge (cheerfully)
IS: chalo dono homework karo apna...aaj zyada kaam mila hai na...mai aati hun thodi der mei aur haan ladne ki aawaz nhi aani chahiye (sternly)
Ishaan: tauji aap bhi chaliye
Maa: mai aati hun tum dono ke saath...unko disturb mat karo (she could sense him tensed today)
Divisha: hum jaldi se apna hw finish karke aate hai fir khelenge saath mei (happily)
AS: beta aaj hume thoda kaam hai...hum jaldi se apna work finish karte hai fir khelenge theek hai?
Divisha: haan (excitedly)
Dev was out due to some work. Ishika and maa were chatting and preparing dinner. Both the children were there in their room. Anubhav too retired to his room, changed and sat on the bed casually scrolling through his phone. He heard some noises downstairs, as expected Divisha and Ishaan had a fight and Ishika was trying to reconcile between the two. When he reached downstairs, both of them hid behind his long legs
Ishaan: tauji bacha lijiye (whispered)
AS: Ishi rahne do bacche hai
IS: bhaiya aap hamesha inki side le lete hai...ishaan bade ho na kyu pareshaan karte ho apni behan ko (angrily)
Ishaan: lekin isne mera colour tod diya (sadly)
IS: pandraah min bhi akele chhod nhi sakte na tum dono ko (wearily) yeh cycle chalane wale bacche cyclone la rahe hai (taunted)
AS: koi baat nahi hum baithte hai inke saath tum dekhlo kya kar rahi thi (politely)
IS: aap bhi toh thak gaye honge na...kuch kaam bhi tha aapko
AS: nhi bas aise hi...hum hai (she hummed) accha suno
IS: ji?
AS: kya karogi abhi?
IS: kitchen mei jaa rahi hun...dinner taiyaar karna hai
AS: pls humare liye ek cup chai bhi bana dogi
IS: ismei pls ki kya baat hai...bilkul bana deti hun (smiled)
AS: shukriya
Anubhav and Maa sat in the drawing room while both the kids went to bring their belongings from inside.
Maa: kya hua?
AS: kuch nhi (smiled)
Maa: bata de...mujhe pata hai koi kaam nhi tha tujhe...bas shaanti se baithne ka mann tha tera (softly)
