I reach home. Or was I at MY home really?!  No! I was at my Aunt's place rather. How? I dunno.

Adhi spots me as i open the gate. As always, he runs towards me and clings on to me. Prajju had exams, i suppose. He was inside, studying. (Adithya- 9 year old. Prajwal- 13 year old.) I guess he heard Adhi shout my name and he too came out "Keerthi Anna!!" and held me tight. Of course, it had been 2 years since we met. 2 long years!!! But everything seemed normal. Not surprised as that's how it'll be. Felt good. Uncle wasn't home. My aunt made Dosa for me. I ate 'em and took a bit of rest before I went out to play with my cousins.
