Starting Of An Ending

Familiar

Annapoorna and Parineeta were in the kitchen along with Swara when Radhika barged in.Radhika had purposely left Maha alone to talk to them about tomorrow.

"Dadima,Badima,Swarama..you all still remember about tomorrow right?"Radhika asked for the seventh time since she reached home.

"Haan Radhika.Don't worry everything is taken care of."Annapoorna assured her youngest grand daughter.

Before leaving the kitchen,Radhika told Swara about her dida wanting to talk to her.As soon as both of them left Parineeta started her bantering.

"Mummyji,dont you think only Radhika deserves all this preparations,happiness,she is the only heir of Maheswari family..."

"Parineeta,you pretty well know that none of us in this family differentiate the girls.Both of them are equal and Radhika is not the only heir.Maha is the eldest heir followed by Radhika.I know for which reason you are telling this words but don't."Annapoorna said sternly before walking out of the kitchen leaving an angry Parineeta alone.

It was 12 o'clock marking the date 29th September.Today was Maha's birthday.While Ragini and Laksh presented their daughter,Swara waited to give her gift,Once Ragini and Laksh left their daughters bedroom warning them to not to stay up too long,Swara gave her gift to Maha.It was a simple chain with a crescent locket.

"Is this that Swarama?"Maha asked as excitement lit up her eyes.

Swara simply replied with a nod.This chain was given to her from Sanskar.Earlier Swara had given a bracelet to Radhika,The chain was a gift for her birthday whereas the bracelet was her marriage anniversary gift.

As Maha was happily receiving her gift,Radhika had a worried expression plastered on her face.This did not go unnoticed by Maha as she knows her sister really well.

"Tk its getting late.Both of you better sleep."Swara said after kissing their foreheads.

"I don't know where I left my bracelet."Radhika said as soon Swara left their room in the verge of crying.

After investigating her sister about the bracelet and trying to look for it,an idea formed in Mahas brain.She quickly took out her phone and checked her galleries.

"Radhika dheko,we took this selfie before the last house,so you bracelet should have fallen down outside or inside the house when you went to use the phone."Maha informed.

The girls soon decided that they would take the house number from their fathers phone.

The next morning was remarkable.As soon as Maha woke up,she was blessed and fed with a lot of sweets the ladies in the house prepared.Since both the girls classes starts during the afternoon,they had plenty of time to enjoy.

About 11 o'clock,Radhika entered her room with the number.She told her father that she wanted to take a birthday selfie with her sister,which wasn't exactly a lie.Maha had asked her sister to dial the number as their dida and dadu wanted to wish her.

"Hello.May I speak to Kavita Oberoi please?"Radhika asked with nervousness.

"Hello,she is not in.You can tell me.I'm her husband Varun."

"Sorry uncle.I dint mean to disturb.My name is Radhika.My sister and I came to your house yesterday to collect donation."At this statement,Varun instantly remembered the girls who came yesterday.It was like he actually knew them.

"Actually uncle,I think I dropped my bracelet.I called to ask.."

"Its here.I found it yesterday."As soon as Varun told those words he heard Radhika heaving a sigh at the other end.When he asked his wife ,she said it did not belong to her but suggested that it might have belonged to the girl who came in to use the landline.Even the bracelet looked familiar to him.

"Thank god its there.If it wasn't for my sisters birthday,I would have taken a long time to figure out my bracelet was missing."Before Varun could answer that statement,he heard another voice at the back.

"Radhika,dida and dadu wants to talk to you."He then heard the phone being shifted and then a new voice came in the line.

"Hello uncle,my name is Maha,Radhika's sister.Can we come and get the bracelet at 4 o'clock.Our classes would be over by then."Maha talked as she mentally thanked Radhika for informing her that it was not Kavita aunty in the line and filling her with other details.

"Haan sure beta.By the way,happy birthday."Before she could ask him how he knew,he told her about his conversation with Radhika.

"Thank you so much uncle.For the wish and also for the bracelet."With that both of their conversation ended.

Maha went out of her room to inform her sister and to join her family whereas on the other side Varun was trying to figure out the reason the girls and the bracelet looked familiar.
