MITWAA - Love Will Find a Way

Part 40 : Bold, Hot and Beautiful...!!

KOLKATA

A very modest looking two-story house, neither too simple nor too pompous stands upright in front of all of them...!! Huge iron gates supported by two white marble pillars is one of the striking features of the house that can attract any passer-by...!! A small garden, on either side of the pavement, houses the most delicate and beautiful flowers having a soft and shiny grass bed which is capable of soothing the onlookers just by a single view of it...!! Along with the flowers one can also find a few fruit trees along the edges of the boundary wall...!! The house, elegant in its own way, looks much more peaceful and comforting than any mansion, giving a homely appeal...!!

Just the first look of the house brings a slight smile on Swara's face. Sanskaar smiles looking at her and stands right behind her...

Sanskaar: What are you looking at...?!!

Swara: It's so beautiful...!! No wonder why your Grandma wants to live here only...!!

Sanskaar: Yup...!! This is one of the most comforting place I have ever visited...!! Grandpa built it long ago with his hard earned money and after he left this world, Grandma refused to leave this place...!!

Swara: So, she lives here all by her own...?!!

Sanskaar: Not exactly...!! One of our most trusted person, Shakuntala Aunty, is here as her caretaker...!! Aunty is like a sister to Dad and Bade Papa, and she's been living here ever since her husband died and her son refused to support her...!! There are a few helpers who take care of the household chores...!! And once in a while, we also keep visiting here...!!

Swara: I'm glad I'm here...!!

Sanskaar: You'll be even more glad once you meet Grandma...!! She is one of her kind...!! People often say that I have taken my mores after her...!!

Swara: (says in a seemingly exciting way) I can't wait to meet everyone...!!

Sanskaar smiles and Annapurna pushes the doorbell...!! Within a minute, a lady in her late forties with simple yet calm features opens the door and hugs Annapurna and Sujata...!!

Annapurna: How are you Shakuntala...?!!

Shakuntala: (smiles) I'm fine...!! How's everything going...?!! It's been a while we last met...!!

Sujata: Everything is just going perfectly...!! Look, even your daughter is going to get married...!!

Shakuntala smiles and hugs Uttara...!! Both Durga Prasad and Ram Prasad give her a side hug at the same time...!!

Shakuntala: Please come in...!! Maa has been waiting for quite sometime...!!

Everyone enters the house...!! Sanskaar and Laksh walk briskly and stand on either side of Shakuntala having Swara and Ragini coming right after them...

As soon as Shakuntala looks at them, both of them loop their arms with her arms giving a wide grin...

Sanskaar: How are you doing, Suku baby...?!!

Laksh: We missed you so much...!!

Shakuntala: When are you both going to grow up...?!!

Laksh: Don't complain, we know you missed us...!!

Shakuntala: Of course...!! You both are just like my son...!!

Sanskaar: God...!! I don't believe you...!! Why do you forget this every time...?!! We are not like your son, we 'are' your son...!! Okay...!!

Shakuntala: Okay...!! Okay...!! I got it...!! By the way who are these two beautiful ladies...?!!

She smiles looking at Swara and Ragini to which both of them join their hands and bow their heads to take her blessings...!!
