They moved outside and waited for the cab to arrive. Chintu came running from his house with his things and smiled "aaj toh bahut maza aayega"
Ruhana ruffled his hairs "bilkul aayega..."
The cab arrived in few minutes and four of them settled in it. They reached the picnic spot in an hour. Everyone grabbed the things and walked towards the entrance.
Ruhana placed the mat on the grass under the tree shade and smiled "chalo ab sab samaan yahan rakho"
Chintu and Manvi placed the baskets. "Di chalo na waha jaate hai dekho kitna kuch hai waha"
"nahi Chintu baad mein" she denied as she wasn't in the mood to do any fun activity.
Vineet and Ruhana exchanged glances with each other.
Chintu makes a sad face but understands. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. She tapped his face lightly.
"how boring!" the voice was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction and it was Aarav.
"main toh apna kaam chodke isliye aaya tha laga kuch interesting hoga par yeh toh bahut boring picnic hai" he said making a sad face.
"toh tum hi isey interesting banado" Vineet said
"wo toh main bana hi dunga! Chintu chalo hum waha jaake khelte hai.. Baithte rehendo tumhari Di ko old people ki tarah..." Aarav commented and she stared at him.
Aarav picked up the ball and everyone got up from their places. They moved to the more open area and began to play. Ruhana stated at Manvi, she walked to her and grabbed her hand. " chalo"
"mumma nahi" she denied
"maine kaha na chalo" She pulled her and Aarav threw the ball toward her. She grabbed it and he smiled.
"nice catch ab zara idhar paas karengi" he said
She threw it towards Vineet instead. Vineet throws it towards Aarav and he runs backward to catch it. He misses his balance and drops to the floor.
"lagi toh nahi?" Ruhana asked
"ji nahi.." he denies and gets up again. Aarav glanced at Manvi who wasn't smiling. He whispered something in Chintu's ear.
Chintu agreed, he walked to Manvi and pulled her hair lightly. She glared at him "Chintu.."
"aapko toh gussa karna aata hai..." he laughed. He tickled on her stomach, she got annoyed with his act.
"Chintu ke bache.." she commented. He ran away and she followed him.
"Aarav bhaiya bachao" Chintu hides behind him.
"hatiye aap" she said angrily.
"are bache ko maarogi? paap lagega.." he said teasingly.
"aapne hi usey yeh karne ko kaha na?" she asked as he had never done this with her before.
"main kyun kahunga?" Aarav asked innocently.
Manvi stamped her foot in anger "mujhe baat hi nahi karni hai.." she walked away from there. Aarav and Chintu shared high-5.
"Are waha kaha jaa rahi ho? ruko aate hai hum.." they followed her.
Chintu holds his ears and apologizes. Aarav got the ice cream for her and asked her to smile a little. "yeh dost aapse maafi mangta hai ab aapko tang nahi karega aap pankaj udaas ki tarah udaas chehra leke baith sakti hai" he commented
She smiled a bit hearing his words. She takes the ice cream and Aarav is delighted with it.
"Chalo iss hasi mazak se iske chehre pe thodi muskurat toh aayi warna 2 saal se bas ghumsum hi dekha hai isey" Ruhana admired her daughter.
