Echoes of Love

Sweet Rival

Pree entering their room with Mithee as Anupam named her found Anurag talking to their son. She smiled and hid to listen to what he was saying to their son.

Anu: Awlele, mera Tillu, Mera gattu, mera dabbu beta…. Tujhe pata hai naa teri wajah se teri maa aur meri kitni ladai hoti hai… Dumbo the motu. Tujhe to koi kaam hai nahi bas khana peena aur sona…. Aur of course din mein 6 baar potty… tera naam potty baby rakh du main, mere Pichku sauce. Tu ruk tu bada ho zara phir bataunga main tujhe, teri mom ko lagta hai tu mujhse better football khelega kyunki tune usdin apne bottle ko laat maarke gira diya. Bhondu kahika. Sticking his tongue out  to his baby son...he looked up and found his Army General of wife looking at him. And he thought oh no...no no no …. Damn he was gone for a toss… 
 
Pree came near him made her baby sleep in the cradle then coming near him snatched her Baby boy from him, gave him a scalding look…. And moved out of the room fuming like a Steam engine….

Pree straight away went to her kaka babu. Moloy the moment he saw Pree with his Dadubhai and her sulking face he got it. Because Pree is very protective of her quiet and easy maintenance son. While Mithee made a cute face and demanded everyone’s attention… Pree’s Babai was happy to let his sis take all the attention while he concentrated on his fav pass time and that was sleeping. And more often than not Anu took to teasing Pree through her Babai… he called him horrible names, praised his Mithee more volubly… and that's it Pree’s temper hit the rooftop.

Before Molly could ask her what happened? Anu entered his room rushing in and then coming to a skidding halt… 

Molly couldn’t stop his smirking …. It made him really very happy to see how his always rowdy and cool son lost all faculties the moment his Pree stopped talking to him.

Anu: Baba main...mera matlab maine kuchh nahi kiya...Shotti bolchhi...sach mein… I was and then he looked at Pree’s straight and stiff back, bcoz she was facing the window. Busy with her son and ignoring his existence totally. Baba kuchh boliye toh sahi… main toh sirf khel raha tha…

Molly: laughed hard, he couldn't control…. Jaa beta main tere liye kuchh nahi karne wala teri maa ne bhi mujhe tere liye aise hi daat lagayi hai. Ab tu bhi jhel ...He whispered all this to Anu… n then loudly.. Kya matlab khel raha tha Anurag Basu. Itne chhote bachche ke sath kon gadha khelta hai. Yeh koi tumhara football ka maidan hai kya? Shame on you… Kisi kaam ke nahi ho tum. Priu Beta ...theek kiya tumne ...umm umm jo bhi kiya iske saath. Nikamma insaan, yeh business kaise chalata hai pata nahi. Moti budhi...Priyu Aur kya kiya isne tum mujhe batao main kaan khichta hu iske… Isska khana peena sab band karwata hun. 

Molly: Anu tu sorry bol… when Anu said sorry and still Prerna didnt react.

Anu walking towards Priu who still held the baby to herself..Prerna Sorry ...yeh dekho kaan pakadke sorry bol raha hu.

Pree: Kaka babu main Debo da se keh ke aapke bete ka samaan guest room mein bhijwa rahi hu. Aap bata dijiyega na … 

Anu: What ...no no no Pree main kahi nahi jaane wala. Meri Mithee aur tum  …(pree turned to glare at him… and that shut him up tight and good.)

And she took the lil Babai to his dadu. Molly was always happy to hold his dadubhai and play with him. 

Pree: Kaka babu tang toh nahi karega naa aapko, mujhe awaaz laga dijiyega agar … and mohini enters and the moment she looks at her grandson she forgot anybody else existed on the planet.

MoMo: aaarey yeh kon ayaa Thamma se milne…. Huh mera prince aya hai? Ore baba, bohot dur se aaye hai bhai humare Chhotu Prince, inki toh khatirdari karni padegi…

Pree: Kaki Maa kya kaha aapne Prince… are nahi aapko nahi pata apke Prince ke papa ne uska naam karan kiya hai...Tillu, Gattu, Pichku Sauce, Dumbo the Motu, Potty baby… aur na jaane kya kya…
