Chapter 6

Ahaan

I woke up in the morning all sweaty, probably having the same dream that I have whenever I am in this house, which is not exactly a dream, but a harsh reality of our life, which I need to digest, no matter how bitter it tastes.

After freshening up, I came down and my nostril hit with the smell of chai, being in Paris for more than eight months I missed the smell of boiling tea, although I am not a tea person but just to give Dadi some company, I have it every now and then whenever I am visiting her.

When I was a child, I used to have milk with biscuits to give her company wherever she used to have chai; sometimes I just could have been stuck there in childhood, adulting is hectic, stressful, and drains all my energy.

"Good morning, Dadi" I kissed her cheek

"Good morning beta" she replied with a kiss on my cheek as well 'Beta means son, which can be said to the younger ones by elders'

"Would like to have some tea?" she asked in a way like the famous scene from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi gam

"Yes, with some cookies please" I try to act the same way

"Cookies" we sing-song

"What's happening here without me" Aryan came and hugged Dadi

"Nothing beta, chai piyoge tm" 'Would you take tea'

"Ha ji Dadi" 'Of course grandma'

We were in the garden having our morning tea peacefully

"Do you guys remember your days here in your summer vacation, I used to wait for you guys to come, and when you guys left after a month the house used to be silent as nobody lives there, and your dada ji 'grandfather' and I used to sit here and talk all about you both, such lovely years we spend together"

"Yes, Dadi we all remember that you cooked us meals and not letting us go outside the house in the afternoon to play" Aryan teased Dadi

"And you still used to sneak out to play under the mango trees, what you used to say at that, umm... let me remember" Dadi was making a thinking posture putting her index on her chin, she looks funny though

"Yeah... got it...Dadi why do mangoes turn green to yellow do someone paint them at night" and she started laughing

"Yeah ...yeah... now you guys are making fun of me, ok ...ok I will see that later"

Suddenly I noticed Dadi was not laughing anymore she was crying and abruptly we both stood up to console her "What happened Dadi, ...are you okay, ...are you feeling any pain... do I need to call the doctor" I was in a panic

"No... no... need to call a doctor, I am okay" she started hiccupping "I was just missing your parents, I wish they could be here to see how beautiful and brilliant you both have become" She caressed our faces slowly and looked all loving with teary eyes.

"We all wish the same Dadi, but we have you and you have us" I hugged both of them tightly

We all can just think... what if...

What happened to their parents regarding Ahaan's nightmares?
