After whole three hours of arranging the house and wardrobe, now Chavi is on her way to take a much needed warm bath.
It has been a very tiring day for her. The whole six hour journey from India to Singapore by flight and then, from Airport to her residence and finally all the rearrangements.
It has taken a toll on her and now she wants nothing more than a soaking warm bath.
She took longer time to get rid of her body pain in the shower. Meanwhile on the other hand, she was completely oblivious of the ringing of her phone. Which had been going on since last five minutes or so.
In India, her mother in law was on the verge of tears at not being able to be connected with her dearest and only daughter in law.
"It's okay maa. Busy hongi abhi woh. Just relax. She'll call back as soon as she gets time." Sirat tried to console her mom, as Miheer was busy consoling the same to his mom.
Both Aisha and Amita were panicking over Chavi not picking the call. What if she gets in an accident? What if someone kidnapped her thinking as a rich foreigner? What if she runs into some wild Singaporean Street animal?
These were the thoughts which clouded their minds. And once again, Aisha called her. She was ready to panic again howbeit this time, Chavi received the call.
"Hi maa." Came her tired, yet normal voice from the other end.
"Chavi. Bacche how're you? Are you fine? Did something happen to you? You weren't picking up the call." Aisha started her rambling before even greeting Chavi.
"Yes beta. We tried seven times before. We were about to call your assistance in a few minutes of you hadn't received." Amita said further and Chavi frowned at this.
"I was in the shower mummys. Naha rahi thi na main, isliye nahi uthaya call." She explained to both her mom in laws as if explaining a toddler.
"I told it's nothing to worry about. See, she was just taking a bath." Sirat whispered to Aisha and so did Miheer to Amita.
Both the mothers just rolled their eyes at their kids.
"Bhabhi. Can you please turn the call to video call? I want to see Singapore. Pretty please?" It was Sirat's demand.
Hearing which, even Miheer started manifesting it.
"Sure. Wait a minute." Chavi replied and soon asked for a video call. Aisha accepted it and the first thing she saw was Chavi's tired face.
"Eyy, beta! Kitni thaki lag rahi ho. Aisa lag raha hai pata nahi kitne pathar tode hai tumne. What happened!" Amita asked her the first thing.
And Chavi just smiled at them. Her heart always felt the warmth their affection radiated. And she felt extremely lucky for that.
"I'm fine Amita maa. I think it was the travelling which took a troll on me and then the unpacking. Rest is all well." She said with a sigh and a small smile.
"Okay. It means you are good na? I mean you'll survive, right. So now show us the view." Miheer jumped in their conversation and Aisha lightly slapped him on his head while Sirat laughed.
"Sure, bandar." Chavi replied and smiled sarcastically before turning her camera towards the painting on the wall. It was the painting of a sleeping baby koala.
"Ye le. Dekh le Singapore. Khush?" She turned the camera back at herself and asked Miheer. Who was giving that 'what the hell is this!' face while the rest three were laughing at his face.
"Serves you right." Commented Amita.
