Amukta : nothing will happen dev ! I am cautious. 

Dev : ok ! But don't use phone for a long time.

Amukta : ok ! 

Dev brought a spoon full of sweet towards amukta's mouth. 

Dev : take a small bite. You can eat it right ? It is not made with sugar . It is made with jaggery.

Amukta : yes ! 

Amukta took a small bite.

Dev : food cooked by your mom will be more delicious than yours and mine.

Amukta : yes ! 

Dev : even my mom used to make sweets very well. I still remember the taste of kaju kheer made by her.

Amukta smiled.

Sagar : Dev ! Your mobile is ringing.

Dev took his phone and saw the caller ID. It's a call from Raghava Raju. He looked at amukta.

Amukta : who's that ?

Dev : my uncle.

Amukta : talk to him. Why are you looking at me ?

Dev nodded and answered the call.

Dev : hello !

Raghava Raju : hello dev ! What happened to amukta ? Is she alright ? 

Dev : she is fine. She got an injury. How did you get to know about that ?

Raghava Raju : kirthi ( his daughter and dev's cousin ) told me that she saw you guys in the hospital. She called you but you left by that time it seems.

Dev : ok ! 

Raghava Raju : we are coming to your place. Are you at home ? 

Dev : yes ! 

Raghava Raju : ok ! See you soon.

Dev : they are coming to our house it seems.

Amukta : oh ! That's great. Tell amma to make something for them. How did they get to know about this ?

Dev :  kirthi akka saw us in hospital it seems.

Amukta : his daughter ?

Dev : yes ! The elder most person in our generation. She was my mom's favourite kid. She used to talk about her a lot. You know something ? She looks much like my mom.

Sagar : I am really happy that you have reunited with them. What about your dad's family dev ?

Dev : I don't know about them. I never saw them.

Sagar : ok.

Dev : I think i should ask about them when raghava raju uncle comes. I am planning to transfer my father's properties on to vihana's name as per the promissory note.

Sagar : ok ! One of my student is a estate planning lawyer. I will talk to him about that.

Dev : ok ! 

Saritha : what debate is going on here ? 

Dev : athamma ! My uncle is coming home along with his family.

Saritha : oh ! I will make some snacks then.

Dev : wait ! I will also help you.

Saritha : no son ! I will do.

Dev : it's ok athamma. You are doing one or another work from morning. 

Saritha : na bangarukonda ( my darling ) ! Chinnappati nundi nee  bharya okka sari kuda naaku help cheyyaledhu kitchen lo. ( your wife didn't help me even once since she was a kid ).
