"Arrey sab zaldi zaldi haath chalao. Uske aane ka waqt hogaya aur idhar itna saara kaam baki hai.... Main sach mein pagal hi ho jaaungi ab toh." Said a middle-aged woman while trying to finish all the work before time. She was none other than Rita Ji.

"Itna kyu pareshan ho rahi ho Rita? Kaunsa India ke prime minister aa rahe hai humare ghar? Tumhara beta hi toh aa raha hai." Said Ashok Ji while reading the newspaper, letting out a soft.

Rita Ji immediately went to her husband and snatched the newspaper from his hand.

"Humara beta aa raha hai, woh bhi pure do saal baad. Aap logo ko sayad padhi nahi hai, lekin mujhe padhi hai. Mujhe uska welcome acche se karna hai. Aur aap log agar baithe baithe muh chalane ki jagah thoda kaam mein meri madat kar do toh zyada accha hoga."

Glaring at her husband, Rita Ji again went to do her work while Ashok Ji nodded in disbelief.

Rita Ji, oversaw the kitchen, ensuring that all of her son's favorite dishes were being prepared.

She instructed the servant, "Idhar ka kaam ho jaane ke baad paas wale mithai ki dukan se gulab jamun le aana. Mere bacche ko khane ke baad mitha khana pasand hai."

As she said this, her younger son Rohan came there and widened his eyes seeing all this.

"Aaj tak iss ghar meri ek bhi favourite dish nahi bani. Aur aaj Bhaiya ke pasand ka itna kuch ban raha hai? Yeh ghar mera hai bhi yaa nahi?" He asked making a sad pout.

"Sharam kar le thoda. Ek toh itne din baad tere bhaiya aa rahe hai, phir bhi itni jalan? Sirf aaj nahi, agle ek hafte tak iss ghar mein sirf uss hi ke pasand ka khana banega."

Hearing Rita Ji's words, Rohan made a crying face while Ashok Ji consoled him patting his back.

"Abhi kuch kehne ka fayda nahi. Apne bade bete ke aane ki khushi mein pagla chuki hai teri Maa. Ek baar tera Bhai aa jaaye, tabhi yeh shaant hogi." Said Ashok Ji to which Rohan nodded.

"Tum inn dono baap bete ko chhoro. Mera pauta aa raha hai itne baad, main madat karti hu tumhari kaam mein, taaki mere paute ke welcome mein koi kami na rahe." Said Dadi helping Rita Ji to which she smiled.

As the aroma of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, the sound of a car pulling up outside filled the household with anticipation. The family members exchanged excited glances, and Rita Ji rushed to the door, a warm smile on her face.

The door swung open, and Sidharth stepped into the house, his bag slung over his shoulder. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the familiar surroundings and the beaming faces of his family members. A tired but happy smile spread across his face as he dropped his bag and opened his arms to receive the warm welcome from his loved ones.

"Sidharth, mera baccha... Finally tu ghar wapas aa gaya. Kitna miss kiya humne tujhe." Rita Ji exclaimed, embracing her son tightly.

"I missed you too Mom." Said Sidharth smiling, hugging his mother back.

"Mom main arti ki leke aau aur background mein k3g ka title track chala du? Bas uss hi kami lag rahi hai ab." Said Rohan playfully to which Rita Ji glared him while Sidharth laughed.

Then Sidharth hugged Ashok Ji, Rohan and his Dadi as well, exchanging joyful banter. The family shares a lighthearted moment before sitting down to enjoy a lunch prepared by Rita Ji.

"Aur gaaon ke college mein experience kaisa raha?" Asked Ashok Ji while eating.

"Thik tha. Waise toh udhar kisi chiz ki kami nahi thi lekin apni jagah ki baat alag hoti hai. Accha hua Delhi University mein job mil gayi as a professor. Ab bas idhar hi rehna hai." Replied Sidharth.
