Now let's go, we also have to go to college...
Adhya said, adjusting the strap of her sling bag, glancing at the time on the wall clock.

Arey... won't you come and meet me?
Grandma called out softly, raising her head slightly from the pillow and looking warmly at all four of them.

Arey Dadi! You got up? And how is your knee pain?
Adhi rushed to her side, concern flashing in her eyes as she sat beside her on the bed.

Gudiya,
Mere ghutne ka dard theek hai, beta...
Aur kal raat tum chaaron ne mere haath pair dabaye the na?
Bas ussi ki wajah se aaj main theek hoon...
Grandma replied with a peaceful smile, gently touching Adhi's head with affection.

This is a very good thing, Dadi!
Adhya and Shridha said together, their faces lighting up with relief and joy.

I think Dadi has asked God to call her to the temple...
That's why her knee pain is cured!
Ridhu said cheerfully, placing her hands on her waist, eyes twinkling with her usual mischief.

Yes Ridhu, you are right!
Adhi said, laughing and patting Ridhu's back playfully.

Arey... tumhari baatein ho gayi ho toh...
Tum chaaron mere saath bedroom mein chalo!
Mujhe tumhe kuch dena hai...
Grandma said firmly, but with a playful tone, getting up slowly while holding the bed railing for support.

Kya dena hai Dadi? Jaldi batayiye naa!
Raidhu said excitedly, jumping a little on her toes, her voice filled with pure curiosity.

Hey... first come with me to my room!
Aur Sadhna... tu bhi chal...
Dekhna chahti hoon main bhi tujhe, ki main kya dene waali hoon in chaaron ko...
Grandma said, turning toward her daughter-in-law with a small teasing smile.

Haan maa...
Sadhna replied softly, stepping forward and folding her pallu properly over her shoulder before following.

I also want to see what my mother wants to give to my daughters...
Abhinav said to himself with a warm chuckle, watching the scene with fondness from the doorway.

Maa, me too...
Main bhi aapke saath chal raha hoon.
Main bhi excited hoon dekhne ke liye!
He said aloud with a childlike grin, walking to stand beside his mother.

Arey...
Yeh bhi ajeeb baat hai na?
Grandma said with a light laugh, shaking her head at her son's excitement.

I think, Grandma...
Whatever you want to give us, why don't we bring that thing here instead?
We'll all watch it together here...
Adhi suggested sweetly, resting her hand gently on her Dadi's shoulder.

Haan gudiya...
Tu theek keh rahi hai...
Dadi nodded in agreement, stroking Adhi's cheek with affection.

Ridhu, go...
Meri almari ke andar chaar chhoti chhoti boxes rakhe hain...
Zara wo le aana...
Aur sun-jaldi aana...
Box kholke dekhne mat lag jaana...
Jaise teri purani aadat hai na!
Grandma said, pointing her finger in mock warning but her eyes filled with laughter, clearly teasing her.

Ji Dadi...
Ridhu said with a sheepish grin, lowering her eyes playfully, then quickly ran toward the room, her dupatta trailing behind her in excitement.

Dadi, take your boxes... and I swear I didn't open them...
Ridhu said with a wide-eyed innocent expression, holding the boxes tightly in both hands.

She walked slowly toward her grandmother, trying hard to suppress her excitement.

She placed the boxes carefully on Dadi's lap, her fingers brushing Dadi's hand gently.

Let's open them now...
Grandma said softly, her voice filled with both warmth and longing.
