Chaudhary Ji

2. The Proper Exchange

Aarav's Pov:

What Does He even Think that I'll be interested on his sister?! Muh se ek awaj nahi nikalti uski aur usse pasand karunga Mai? He's in a complete delusion.

All these thoughts were going inside my mind when suddenly I hear a knock.
A servant came to call me for dinner.

When I came down I saw she returned along With Aavinav returned as they were tired and she wanted to eat with her family after so long. Who leaves the opportunity to eat with Chaudhary family?!

As I settled down, the whole dinning table silenced. I hear Dadaji's throat clearing indicating he'll talk.

"Aarav"

"Ha dadaji"

"Pichle kuch mahino se panchayat me baazar ke price hike related complaints aa rahe hai. Avya bhi keh rahi thi ki kuch jagaho Mai aur kuch dukano mein price bada chadakar le rahe hai."
(From some months, there are complaints coming to Panchayat regarding the price hike issues of market. Avya was saying too that at some shops they are charging more money than the Market Retail Price)

"Dadaji Market Retail Price ka chart aapne Govt. Se Lia?"
(Grandpa, you took the MRP chart from govt?

"Haa state government se humne Lia hai. Aur unlogo ne kaha hai hum is chiz ko dekhe agar humse na ho sake toh woh log dekhenge." Said Abhishek (Cousin)
(Yes, we took it from state government. They said to look after the matter and incase we couldn't they will take over it)

"When they even look after? Just because various places of Rajasthan like Jaipur, Udaipur, Ajmeer etc. have their hereditary kings and they do look after a little they don't even care about this places" said Ishita while taking a Paneer from the bowl.

"Kal phir council ke baad mai, Mera PA, Abhishek aur Avyantika jayenge market dekhne" I informed everyone.
(Tomorrow then, after council, me, my PA Abhishek and Avyantika will go to visit the market)

"Bhaiya, Avya di kyu?" asked Sirisha...
(Brother, why Avya sis?)

"Because she's a responsible member of committee too" I replied non chantly

The next day

"Toh Ms. Gupta aap kehri hai ki baazar Mai aksar rice Mai kankar milai Jaa rahe hai?" I asked. Our council meeting was going on since 1 and a half hour and this was the first time Avyantika spoke out.
(So Ms. Gupta you're saying that in market most of the rice small stones are mixed with rice)

"Haa Chaudhary Ji... Itne chote ki jabtak rice thik se na dhoya jai tab tak samjha nahi jaa sakta" she replied. She was looking everywhere but not at me. God knows why?!!
(Yes Chaudhary Ji.... This much small that unless and until we don't wash the rice we can't see them)

"Par Chaudhary Ji... Hum e toh aise chawal nahi mile" a person whose name I assume Dinesh spoke out.
(But Chaudhary Ji... We didn't experience such rice)

"Just because you're rich that doesn't mean that everyone in Udaipur has the money to buy the most expensive rice. And it depends upon the shops that they're buying from" Avyantika spoke out more roughly than she was talking with me. Her voice was more straight forward that rudeness.

"Ms. Gupta, we are going to the market today as Dadu informed about the scandals going on here and there. And you along with my PA, Brother and me are coming too" I informed her slowly closing the files that were infront of me.
