" Saahib " he saw a boy running towards him to open the gate of Mautjza ghar ...

The boy pushed the gate , that opened with a cracky noise of rusted metal .. soon shravan drove inside the open gate , and a grand mini mehal kind of house came into view ...

Shravan gwaked at it with open mouth ....

"Hay ...you " he called out for the boy who was now closing the gate ..
"Ji saahib !'' he came bouncing towards him in excitement ...

" Is this Mautjza ghar? " Shravan asked frowning at the boy who seemed to be around 8-10 year old ..

"Ji ... This is it ... And you are our new owner ?" He replied coyely ..

Shravan again took a good look at the house in front of him ...
'its freaking big ... What am I suppose to do here ..." He thought

"Saahib can I carry your bag inside ?" Asked the Little fellow ..

Shravan gave him an amused look ... That chubby boy had so much confidence to carry all his bags alone .. " no thanks, I'll manage..... By the way who are you?"

"Oh , sorry ...I'm Ibrahim ... But everyone calls me Ibroo here ..." He replied

"Are are you sure this is a military quarter? "

Ibrahim gave him a confusing look. ... " Military quarter... No no , this no longer belong to military ... It's out for sale from last two years ..!"

'then why I'm here?!"

He pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and hopped out of jeep , dialling someone ..

" Did you reach there ?" Came from the other side , before he could say hi ..

"Yes I did ... Now you tell me , why I'm here baba?" ..

"Ah , I was expecting this. .. "

"Sure you will"

"Shravan listen ... It's just a house , and it belongs you now" Ravel replied in a calm tone ..

"And when did that happen?"

"You didn't use your salary since forever ... So I bought this house with a small chunk of that for you ..."

"Baba ... What was the need ... It's not like I'm going to stay here forever .... You should have atleast asked ..."

"Shravan it's not a big deal ... This house previously belonged to the high officials  .. but since it was far away from the office , military gave it away ... And thats when I bought it for you ...  I know you won't take anything from me , so I have to buy this with your money ...."

"It's of no use ... I mean look at it ...it's huge , and I'm the only person here to live inside this...  I would have adjusted in a 6/6 cubicle itself ..."
