The Pursuit Of Love

04

"Yes , keep it on the table"Ragini  said as all the family members were sitting in the hall for their evening Tea .

"Varahi , Call your Chachi once and ask if they will come today or tomorrow's morning" Ranvijay said as he took the cup of Tea from the tray and handed it to his wife.

A smile made its place on Varahi's face.

Small little efforts.
Small things.
Small actions.

"Okay , ….. Mummy ji The driver would be here , So I will go get ready"
Varahi completed as she looked at the wall clock , Ragini  nodded muttering a small 'okay'.

"You j–"… "Sanjana , won't kids come for Yuvi’s Birthday Party?" Dadi said as she noticed that Sanjana was going to say something to her granddaughter-in-law.

Varahi and Ranvijay smiled at her attempt to stop her from saying anything and then getting a sassy reply which she would complain later in front of Avyaan.

"They will Massi ji , probably a day before" Sanjana said as she took a sip from the Cup.

"Bahu , I guess you forgot to add sugar" Sanjana finally said as she kept the cup back in the tray and looked at her.

"I did add Massi ji , everyone in our house prefers less sweet Tea" Varahi answered as she knew the sugar was perfect else her mother-in-law herself would have pointed it out.

"It is less" Varahi sighed as she heard her mother-in-law taking her sister's side.

"Aadha cup khatam hone ke baad pata lga , Haina Ragini?" Dadi said as she looked at her son's wife being obvious of her sudden participation in the conversation when she was busy scrolling through her phone
(You realised it when you drank half of the tea , Right Ragini ?)

Ranvijay smiled as he looked at his mother,
Dadi is always so sassy when it comes to replying and tackling certain situations.

This kind being one of them.

"Varahi , make massi another cup of tea" She heard a voice behind her as she turned around to find her husband standing right behind her at a proper distance as he had car keys in one hand and his blazer hanging on the other.

"No It's okay , I will drink this" Sanjana said as she reached to hold the cup .

"No Massi she will make another, I know you like more sugar in tea" Avyaan completed as he sat near dadi.

"Make her Tea and Then get ready we will get late" Varahi nodded and went to the Kitchen.

"Firse" Ritika the house help said as she saw her picking up the Pan to make Tea again.
(Again?)

"Hmm , she said the sugar wasn't according to her taste" Ritika made an O shaped mouth and went back to chopping the veggies .

"Was it really not sweet?" …

"It was perfect the way everyone at home prefer , but She likes tea more sweet" Varahi nodded, already making a mental note to remember it next time.

Varahi entered inside, keeping the tray in front of Sanjana , who looked at the cup of tea and took it .

"Now it's perfect" Sanjana exclaimed while Varahi smiled a little and looked at Avyaan who was already looking at her.

"Wasn't the driver coming to pick her up?" Ranvijay said as he looked at his son.

"Yes dad , The meeting got over soon so I came" Avyaan told his father.

"Go get ready , let's leave in 10 minutes" Avyaan said as he stood up and went to the room before Varahi.
