The kids went to college after lunch. Mr. Thakur observed them quietly when Sambhavita fed his son and the other kids joked and smiled. His son looked happy. After lunch Sanjeet fell asleep and Sambhavita was pouring Soup in two bowls for him and herself."Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?" She asked not looking up.
"This... Taking care of everything."
"Because someone has to. You are a wreck. Sanjeet is.. can't leave everything to Minal. If you are forgetting she is a kid too."
"She is 24."
"Well, she isn't supposed to do all this." She said sliding the soup to him. He took a sip.
"Damn... This is amazing. Where did you learn this?"
"My housekeeper in California was from Turkey. She used to make this a lot. Whenever I'm sick or not feeling well. Or on my cycle. She believed this cures everything."
Sanjeet was taken for some tests when the kids returned. They all waited until he was back then their conversation began.
"This maybe the happiest room in the hospital." Dr. Vedi said entering the room.
"Is everything ok Dad?" Pratichi asked.
"Everything is fine. Just some routine check." He said starting his observation.
"Can he eat fruits now uncle? I'm cutting you some apples." Kavya said which gained her look from both Pratichi and Ayan.
"He can't stand the smell of apples." They all turned to Ruhani walking in as if she owned the place.
"What are you...." Before Kavya could finish she shot her a look that shut her up. She walked up to Sanjeet.
"How are you?"
"Better. How do you know about apples?" Sanjeet asked.
"Last year picnic. You almost threw up on me ." She said placing her hand on his.
"Kya tum kal ayi thi?"
" Nai. Aj check up ke liye ayi thi to Milne agayi."
"Are . Are you ok?" Neerav asked. She smiled at him and said.
"Routine check up. Thanks for asking." She smiled at him and turned to Sanjeet. "Khayal rakho. I'll be back later."
"We are about to eat some cupcakes. If you want. You can stay." Anaya said.
"She can?" Ayan asked shocked.
"Get a grip dude." Nikhil murmured to him.
"Sure. I was going to get a drink from the vending machine. Anyone wants anything." Ruhani asked.
"Coke" Nikhil said little unsure if Ruhani actually meant it or not.
"Coke for you.." she said.
"Get me a lemonade if possible bete." Mr. Thakur said.
