"Mamaaa!" Ania ran to hug her mother as she arrived.
"Mera bacha," her mother hugged her back.
"Kaise hain ap?" Ania asked, coming out of the embrace.
"Bilkul theek" she replied, and then hugged Aarav who came to her
"Tabyat theek?" Aarav asked, and she nodded, kissing his forehead.
Rahul then approached and took her in a tight hug, closing his eyes as she caressed his hair.
"How was the flight?" he asked, still hugging her.
"Tiring," she replied.
"Ap bethain main Apke liye kuch leke aata hoon" he said, coming out of the embrace.
"Mujhe kuch nahi chahiye come sit with me," she said, settling on the couch. Rahul rested his head in her lap and closed his eyes.
"Sab kaise thay?" he asked.
"Sab theek. In fact, they were asking a lot about you all, lekin Anu ka school tha na " she replied, stroking his hair, and he hummed in response.
"Mama main bhee apka beta hoon na?" Aarav scoff as he saw Rahul in their mother's lap. She chuckled.
"mama apko pata hai Apke dono betoon ne mujhe bhot zayada tang kia ? aur mujhe chot bhe lagi the , aur bhaiya ne mujhe bhot Sara daanta bhe aur is nakli doctor ne, I mean bhai ne mujhe bandage bhee ke and I'm sure ghalat ki itna dard hua and mujhe bhot irritate bhe Kia dono ne" Ania poured out all her complaints, and her mother smiled.
It was her habit whenever her father returned from international meetings she would tell him everything in detail, and he would fake scold his sons. While Aarav rolled his eyes and Rahul completely ignored her
"Kahan lagi chot?" her mother asked.
Ania pointed to her thumb.
"Mama apne bola tha ap do din tak aainge" Rahul asked in a sleepy voice.
"Beta, Dadi ka message aaya tha na. She's coming with your bua," their mother said,
"Kyun aa rahi hain woh?" Ania asked rudely and looked at Aarav who blinked his eyes reassuringly
"Koi kisi se batameezi nahi kare ga main bata rahi hoon teenon ko" her mother warned sternly.
"Dadi ne aana hain aajain unki beti kyun aarahi hain?" Ania said irritably.
"Ania!" Rahul got up and glared at her.
"Main nahi aane doongi" Ania declared , stomping her feet as she headed upstairs.
"Aik aur dafa paoon patakhne (stomping) ki awaz aai you'll go straight to the study," Rahul warned firmly.
Ania internally groaned then walked calmly to her room.
"Kia ho Gaya hai, bhaiya? Apko pata hai na" Aarav said to Rahul, who sighed.
"Aarav bachi hai woh. I don't want any type of negativity in her heart or her mind," Rahul replied.
"She's growing up, bhaiya sab samajti hai" Aarav said, and Rahul nodded.
"Rahul, talk to her calmly. Tumhari baat sunti bhee hai aur samajti bhee" Nisha there mother said, and he nodded.
"Us say toh main baat kar loonga lekin agar kisi ne Ania ke samne pehle wali koi bakwaas ki mama I'll lose it" Rahul said in a serious tone but as he noticed her mood getting dropped he changed the topic.
"Acha chorain Mama ap jain rest karain If you need anything, just let us know," Rahul said, and she nodded and left for her room.
Later , Rahul went to Ania's room but didn't find her there. He then went to the terrace and found her sitting there.
