Only one week was left for Holi now, and two weeks for our departure to Chicago. He had started calling me 'Jaana' again, and our relationship began blossoming once again.
We had visited the village again to attend my father's tervi (a hindu funeral ritual conducted after thirteen days of someone's demise). Albeit he didn't want to take me there, but Ma wanted me to visit that event for the one last time, since I was his daughter.
I got to know that Chhuttan wanted to study. He had cried falling on my feet to apologise to me for his behaviour. For a moment, I thought he was pretending to be nice, but it was genuine. He really wanted to change.
We shared a hug for the first time that day.
Thakur ji had offered him to join his office once he gets the degree, to which he agreed willingly. We came back, and began packing our bags - quite a hectic task.
The ground before the mansion was being decorated for the city people to celebrate Holi. Entire Prayagraj was officially invited to this event, and the Thakurs ensured that all of them eat properly and enjoy wholeheartedly when they visit the mansion.
The backyard was embellished for us - the women and the male family members, because the women weren't allowed to play Holi with strange men, as we can't trust their instincts.
All the women servants were busy preparing different delicious Holi cuisine - potato chips, papad, ghujiya, dahi bade, mathri, matar chat, kanji vada, damalu samosa etc. The entire mansion was filled with mouth watering aroma.
I used to grab one or two bites of those snacks every time I passed by the kitchen. The ladies used to laugh at me, and teased me for being the only daughter of this family, but I'm eagerly waiting for two more daughters that will arrive in this mansion as Balraj bhaiya and Jairaj bhaiya's wives.
Another hilarious incident happened when the women workers of the mansion informed Ma about my pregnancy since I had nauseated a day before I left the mansion. When I returned, Ma was treating me with utmost care, and she was caressing my belly too.
I finally got to know that she had assumed that I was pregnant, and I ultimately cleared up her doubt.
She sighed, but smiled stating that I should take my time about this.
After the punishment session, he left me free for the upcoming one week since Holi was approaching and I had to work alongside the servants.
The male servants were bedecking the mansion with flowers and furbelows. Holi phaags were being played everywhere around the mansion. The vibe was enchanting.
