Saumya is feeling too empty and bored today. Grumpily sitting at the swing placed at the lawn, she was helping Tarun with his English homework.

The autumn break had started and Abhimanyu's aunt took her kids back with her. Aastha had already took lots of holidays so she won't be coming back soon. The mansion is again empty even in auspicious occasion of Navratri.

Saumya had discussed this with everyone that they'll organise a Dandiya night on 9th day. Everyone agreed but you see, her dearest husband had to leave for Gwalior early morning. He didn't mention it to Saumya and left after kissing her a bye in her sleep, leaving a small note behind.

Though he will return in a day, he could've wake her up.
She is a heavy sleeper.

"Bhabhi your English is so good, no errors in grammar, wow".

Tarun pulled her out from her deep thoughts.

"You think so?

"Yes, you are the best, bhabhi".

Saumya giggled at him and ruffled his hairs. She took his notebook to check what he was writing.
Her smile fell looking at his notebook. There were grammatical mistakes in every sentence. It's not his fault. He tried his best to write the essay, but teachers sometimes doesn't clear the concepts and basics.

"I'll have to take your English grammar classes".

Saumya mumbled turning his notebook's pages.
Tarun gave a sheepish smile to her, feeling embarrassed that his sister in law had to see his worst performance.

"No need to feel embarrass Tarun. Everyone face problems in academics. No one is perfect. Don't worry, I'm here to help you whenever you will need".

Saumya patted his cheeks assuringly.

"But bhabhi I love sports more than studies".

Saumya understood his dilemma. In many families, parents would want their kids to do best in studies, force them to study hard without trying to know what their kids want.

Saumya herself had fought against her parents. They forced her to opt medical field but she did what caught her interest.
But not everyone can voice it out especially teenagers, who are bound with norms and family issues.

"Then it's awesome. You'll be a great sportsperson in future. And who said sports and studies can't be balanced. I'll help you in managing your time table. You can play your favourite sports and then study too. Moreover sports also help an individual to develop mind".

Saumya explained.

"Wow bhabhi you are great. Let me touch your feet".

"Chal hatt badmaash!!

(Naughty)

She twisted his ear and laughed.

Suddenly her phone went off, expecting it to be her husband, she picked without even looking at caller ID.
