OUR LOVE

CHAPTER-20

Navaniya pov:

I went to meet Nanda as it was a weekend. I was so happy and excited because it had been a long time since he had been home. When i reached home i was welcomed my a Radha kaki. She wore a beautiful banarasi saree which was of bluish-grey with full golden saree designs... The saree was draped around her so beautifully that it felt like she was way younger than her age.. not that she was old but still she looked way younger... Her curves provoke every girls insecurities 

"Beta tum yaha?"(child you here?)She said opening the door for me after a few minutes after i rang the bell. "Hnn jii" (Yes) I said with a warm smile, seeking her blessings. "Arre arre ghar aye mehman per nhi chuthe" (the guests that came should not touch feet) she said blocking my hands.. "Prr mai tho izzi ghar ki hu" (But i belong to this house only) i said with a warm smile and found my way and touched her feet and sought blessings

"Ye ladki bhi... Jo bhi hai  andhar avo beta" (this girl.... whatever come inside child) kaki said hand gesturing the way ahead with her hands "Jii" i said carefully getting inside. 

Radha kaki took me the living room which was attached to the dining room which was bit away but close enough to see people sitting in living room and the opposite..

 I can see setting up the table for everyone to have breakfast... But as soon as she saw me she gave an smile and walked towards me while rubbing her hands in the end of her saree pallu....

. As she stepped into the soft morning light, the black dual tone banarasi silk saree enveloped her like a warm embrace. Its gentle drape, a soothing shade of azure with delicate floral motifs, seemed to reflect the tranquility she brought to her home. Each pleat was carefully arranged, a testament to her meticulous nature and the love she poured into every detail of her family's life.

The pallu cascaded over her shoulder, revealing hints of intricate embroidery that shimmered subtly. She moved with a rhythm that spoke of years spent balancing chores and cherished moments, her every gesture exuding a quiet strength.

"Beta tum yaha? Kya hua beta? Kuch bura hua tho nhi ?" (Child you here? what happened dear?nothing bad happened right?) maa said coming towards me "Nhi maa.. kuch nhi hua... kya mai app sabhi se milne bhi nhi a sakthi..."(no mother....nothing happened.... why cant i come and meet you guys without any reasons) i said while bowing down and seeking her blessing as he approached me. "Arre esse kuch nhi" (Arre nothin like that) she gave a slight smack on my hand and said.

"Vese maa Nandu kaha hai..."(By the way mother where is Nandu) i said looking around "Wo appne khamare mai hai beta" (He is in his room) maa said patting my head "Achaa..."i said looking back at her.. "Vese beta humne pucha hi nhi peene ke liye kya chahiye? chai, pani, coffee, juice?" (By the way child i didnt asked you yet but what do you need to drink? tea, water, coffee, juice?) asked radha kaki who sat right beside me "Arre kaki izzke kya zarurat" (Aunty what is the need of this) i said turning my head towards "Zarurat hai... zarurat kyu nhi hai?" (It is necessary... why is it not necessary? ) radha kaki said in playful strict tone "Fir thodde pani hi dhedho" (Then give me some water) i said in an equally playful tone. "Vese beta tumne khana khaya?" (By the way child did you eat anything?) maa asked me "Hnn jii" i said 

"Acha maa mai Nandu se jaake milu?" (Mother can i go and meet Nandu?) i asked "Hnn beta issmei puchne wale bhi konse baat hai" (Yes child what is the need to ask fir that) Maa told me

Hearing this i eagerly went to meet Nandu... 

In the sleek heart of a high-rise, where the city skyline sparkled like a sea of diamonds, the Nandu's room embodied a harmonious blend of sophistication and warmth. The walls were painted a soft, calming gray, adorned with a few carefully chosen pieces of art—abstract landscapes that hinted at distant places, stirring the wanderlust within him.
