Chaitanya's POV

I reached the airport and boarded the flight, after two hours the flight landed in Jaipur. I came out of the airport and went towards a cab and asked

Bhaiya, jhotwara chaloge? (Brother will you go to jhotwara)
Haa Haa madam he answered ( Yes madam)
Kitna kiraya loge? ( how much fare will you charge) I asked again
700 rs he said
Bhaiya Aap bhut zyada btaa rhe h whi shi btao kitna loge ( Brother you're saying a lot tell me the right fare) I asked
Madam Aap 600 rs de Dena ( Madam you give me 600 rs) he said
500 rs I said
Nhi madam y to bhut kam h ( No mam this is very less) he said
Bhaiya kch km nhi h Itna hi Bnta h jhotwara ka ( No brother this is the right fare for jhotwara) I said and asked him to help me with my luggage

We settled the luggage in the boot and sat in the car he started driving after I told him the exact address. He started the music player in the car and it started playing rajasthani seema mishra songs. This is the essence of rajasthan I'm so happy.

After an hour of travelling we reached home I came out of the cab and took my luggage out then paid the driver and he went away.

I opened the main gate of my house and felt nostalgic as I came there after complete one and half years I stepped inside and saw dadisa and Dadosa sitting in the garden enjoying the morning sun. I started going towards then and at the same time dadisa looked at my side and smiled wholeheartedly. I went towards them touched there feet and hugged them and I can't tell you the peace I felt after hugging my grandparents.

Beta Tu to aaba aali hi Koni hi asked dadisa (Beta you said you were not coming right)
Aree dadisa m to Aap loga ne surprise den vaaste aapne btayo Koni (Ohh Dadisa I wanted to surprise you all that's why I didn't tell anyone) I said
Mharo beto aagyo m to bhut Khush hu ab Diwali aur bhi khushi se mnawa( My baby has come finally now will celebrate Diwali with so much joy) said dadosa
Haa dadosa ab aapa Khub maaja krshya Diwali p (Yes dadosa we'll have lots of fun on Diwali) I told him
Papa mummy kahan h(where is papa mummy) I asked them to which they said that papa went to the market and mummy and kratu is cleaning the house for evening Pooja.
Diwali cleaning just goes on till Diwali it can never complete on time something is always left saying this I went towards my house to meet mummy and kratu I entered inside the house and saw that momma was cleaning a showpiece and was standing with her back towards me I tiptoed and went towards her and then back hugged her she got startled and looked at me from her shoulders and I could see tears of happiness in her eyes she turned around and hugged me.
We both were hugging each other and just than we heard kratu saying
I always knew mummy you love jeeja more than me all the hugs for her only and then mummy spread her arms towards her she ran and came to hug us we three shared a wholesome hug and parted
Kratu hugged me again and said I missed you jeeja you know what I was not going to celebrate Diwali if one of you or dev would not have come now finally we will celebrate Diwali with so much joy you know I haven't even bought a dress for Diwali because you guys were not coming.
Awieee mera Bacha I will take you to shopping in the afternoon today we will shop everything that you want I told her
Jeeja you are the best kratu said and launched herself on me again.

Okay okay agr Ab tumhara Bharat milap ho gya ho to aajao chai polo(okay okay of you guys are done meeting then come here and have tea) mummy said we both were so engrossed in our talks that we didn't notice mummy going to kitchen and preparing tea.

We sat on the sofa in the hall and started having tea with some mummy-daughter gossip while we were having tea papa entered the hall holding packets of food in his both hands me and kratu went towards him and took the packets from him I could smell kachori and Mirchi bada from the packets resisting their smell I went toward papa touched his feet and hugged him.
