Twelve Days Later...
"Anupamaa....", Aruna called her seeing her out on terrace.
"Ji... Kaaki..."
"Start preparing for your exams..."
The tears she was resisting, tried to surface. "Kya fayda...?"
"You will know..."
"Aap kyon bol rahi hain baar baar...."
"Because I want you to get done with your degree...."
"Meri books sab... Storeroom me hain... Nikaaloongi to daant padegi... Main kaise...?", she cut her lips.
"Notes chahiye? I'll get it photocopied for you... You don't worry... Just prepare yourself mentally...", her hand stroked her face.
"Gadbad ho jaayegi ye mujhse pehle se hi bahut naraaz hain Dolly Ben waale haadse ke baad se y-"
"Nahi hogi. Trust me. Main lekar chloongi tumhe exams dilaane...".
Anupamaa tensed up. "Nahi... main... ni... n.i... Aap mat kariye mere liye ye sab... Main ni jaa sakti....", she requested.
"Maine sab soch liya hai tumhe bilkul tension lene ki jaroorat nahi hai... Ghar pe kisi ko kuch pata hi ni lagega aur phir sirf paanch papers ki to baat hai...", she tried explaining.
"Kaaki ni....", she almist trembled in fear. "Main jhooth ni... ni bolungi... Inko pata chala to... Ni ni ni..."
"Anupamaa pleasee this could be your last chance...."
"Aur main phir se jhooth bol ke ni loongi vo chance...", her eyes swelled for rejecting the option in front but she didn't want Arunimaa to convince her more so she left and Aruna stood there recalling.

A Day Before....
Arunimaa's phone chimed.
"Ma'am..."
"Haan Sheetal bolo..."
"Ma'am next week se annual events start hone waale hain so would you be overlooking the final preparations yourself or would you delegate it..."
"No that's on me. I'll come. You don't worry."
The call ended and Anuj looked up and so did Manik as they sat in her room and heard it all.
Arunimaa's eyes lit up and so did Anuj's.
"Hope we are thinking of the same idea....??", Anuj asked.
"I guess we are vibing way too much these days...", she flaunted.
Anuj jumped closer to her and kissed her cheeks. "Thankk youu!!"
"Can I be a party in this?", Manik clicked his fingers and Anuj and Arunimaa took turns in telling what they thought of.
~°•~
The memory flit passed. "Anuj....!!", Arunimaa called. "Anuj come here...."
"Haan maa...", he got out of his room.
