(Kavya) "Hi Nandu, I am home!"

(Nandini) "Kavya! It's you! What a surprise! Here I was thinking who was calling me Nandu."

(Kavya) "Well, sorry I am not your love."

(Nandini) "Hey, come on, momsis, you know I didn't mean it."

(Kavya) "I am glad you still call me that." She hugged me.

(Nandini) "I still regard you as mom, though you are too young to be my mom. I just don't want to call you that in front of all. So, momsis, what brings you here?"

(Kavya) "I would like to stay here for some days. Ravi has gone on a trip leaving me and children are at their grandfather's"

(Nandini) "Huh? Aren't you staying with Veer Dadaji and Cabir?" What! After all the buzzing and meetings, I thought I can rest for a few days.

(Kavya) "Yeah, but all of them are going for some work or the other. I want to be free from handling kids for some time. It's boring to stay alone. Let me stay till your cousin comes back. When will she be back?" Once she decides, there is no turning back for her. I have to let her stay here.

(Nandini) "After a week, I think."

(kavya) "Really? It is good that I am staying with you. You have me for company. So where is your cute little niece?"

(Nandini) "She is sleeping, upstairs." 

(Kavya) "It's already nine."

(Nandini) "Cut some slack. She is just five. Also, she was totally exhausted from yesterday. So, I am letting her sleep. She will come down after some time. Manik promised to take her to the zoo."

(Kavya) "Ooh my, I came and interrupted your date." 

(Nandini's PoV) Trying to tease me again! Did I ever tease her when she got married?

(Nandini) "I said Manik and Ruhi are going. I am not. I was planning to relax the whole day or more like sleep. It has been days since I had proper sleep."

(Kavya) "Oh. He is playing the good guy who takes care of his fiancée's relatives."

(Nandini) She never listened to my plans. She listens to only what she wants. "Come on, Momsis. Manik is not like that. He really likes kids. He plays with Rishabh also. Sometimes, I don't know who the kid is and who the adult is." I kept making breakfast.

(Kavya) She was sipping her cup of coffee. She took out a cigarette to smoke. I glared at her and she put it back in. "Well, I wonder if he really loves you."

(Nandini) "Oh! If he didn't, then he wouldn't have waited for me after I refused him about three times." Oops! It slipped. I really don't want to tell how I came to love him.

(kavya) "You never told me these things."

(Nandini)"It is kind of embarrassing." Especially, the part I was jealous.

(kavya)"So, did you start liking him after you rejected him all these times?"

(Nandini) "Momsis, I honestly wish you wouldn't put it like that; it is not like that. I liked him, unconsciously. Somehow, my mind kept wracking itself to reason out that he is not the man for me but I couldn't fight it out." She looked irritated for some reason. She never was an advocate for love marriage. I don't think she would ever understand no matter what I tell her or how I felt.

(Kavya) "Fine. We will talk about this later. I will go and wake Ruhi up."
She went up. I didn't hear any sound from Ruhi. Guess, Kavya is used to children now. If I am correct, her eldest would be around six years. As Ruhi finished her breakfast, Manik burst in.
