It was Sunday morning...The town was awake...Apparajita sat on one end of the sofa with her head leaned on it, she took up the client's evidence sheet...Her profile as a litigate lawyer was well enough for her mother to be tired of making tea for thousands of unexpected guests...
"Pheww....I'll die someday!!!" She called out exhausted...

"C'on relax, here I brought you your favourute meal...tell me, how's the pasta??" Asked Mrs. Prarthana serving her oldest stepdaughter with her delicious food....Even though Mrs. Prarthana was her step mother, it never made her realize that she was someone of a distant blood...Relationships in the family were always pure and lovely...

"Mmm, so yummy, I love it momma, you cook so good!!" Called out Apu...This was her habit since childhood, she never denied anything she was provided with...She could quickly adjust to new environments and since childhood she realized that the adjustment to a certain new place and trying to provide motherhood to about three kids equally must have been a very tough task for Mrs. Prarthana...

"Is it good?? Really?? I was so scared, I was making this for the first time..." Prarthana replied, with a happy smile...While The mother and the daughter were busy chatting, the naughty teen had left the house with her cousin partner in crime...

The two teens, namely Mira and Tojo were standing on their backyard, patiently waiting for the newspaper guy to throw up the newspaper of the opposite house...After a long wait, when they finally saw the newspaper guy arrive, they delighted in joy and hurried to the opposite house, took out the two peice of newspapers from the bunch and took it inside their jacket and pretending to be totally innocent went away from there...

This type of a sudden mischief was very common between the two houses, no one knew the exact reason but had much of an entertainment and excitement from it...The only members from the families who were submissive of this were the women of the two houses and the younger sons of the house...

Ms. Prarthana had just prepared the tea and morning snack for the huge household, when her brother-in-law, Srinath, also called Chotai arrived...Chotai was a very funny person, his personality always had an outer grudge aswell as fun charecter...He was full of humor and fun..Being an adult, he was the most considering..

"Ohoohoo, what a timing Boudi, I was awaited of this smell, ummmm, I'm getting hungry now!!" He called out..

"Just at this?? It's half made you know??" The later called out...

"Doesn't matter, Boudi you're such an all-rounder..Love you Boudi .." he called out, opening the newspaper's front page...

"Hahaha, oh, BTW, as you're checking the newspaper, is there any upcoming storm??" Asked Apu..

"Hmm, I think the storm has already came up.." Srinath panicked..

"Huh???" Asked Apu and Prarthana..

"Look at this---" Srinath called out pulling out two peices of totally similar newspaper pages...

And at this moment of despair, shouted Mr. Parag, the oldest male of the family..
"You theives, you housebreakers, your entire bloodline is full of robbery, you don't have money?? I'll burry you all?? Stealing Parag Bhattacharya's papers, I'll thrash you...Even the kids are Satan."

"Shit- Again??" Apu sighed..

"What is this damn fuss about??" Called out Arjun, or Divyam, the younger son of the house, yawning loudly..

"You don't have to know, just pack your bags and get ready for uni, it's better we leave the fuss!! I WON'T WAIT A MINUTE MORE THAN 9:15, I HAVE A LOTS OF WORK!!! GET READY" Apu called out with a strict accent...

"Why do you need to bark for that, I'm going--" Arjun called out as suddenly they heard their window break...

At this the oldest member of the house mr. Dahan came out from the stairs with the two kids at his feet...Apu looked confused and took a glance at Arjun..They both nodded their head agreeing that there should a world War 3 again...

"How dare you call my little flowery, sunflowers grandchildren theives??" Mr. Dahan called out...

"Yeah....Everyone knows whether your grandchildren are sunflowers or wild grass, " came in the reply

"All they did was to take away a peice of newspaper to gain knowledge...not like you all.." Mr. Sinha called out

"So you do confess that you're such a cheapskate that you can't even afford knowledge for your grandchildren..." replied Mr. Parag

"No, its just that my grandchildren are self reliant since this young age as compared your unemployed fellows..." replied Mr. Dahan..

"Yeah, yeah, like your older grandchildren are so successful huh??"

"Yes they are!! Open the news, my granddaughter Apu is on Television everyday, She works at the Supreme Court.."

"Damn, is it me now??" Apu called out...

Well, don't get afraid my lil fellows, this isn't the world War yet, it's just a morning warm up for both the families...Now they made a sure that all the families of the colony were awake and its now time for then to return to their own courses..

Aparajita heads to her room, getting ready for work, the kids get ready for their school, Divyam gets ready for university...
