" Suman..."

Shravan peeped from the door...

It was a Sunday usually when  I preferred to sleep for long time...

I woke up to his voice...

Amma came out of the kitchen...

" Hey Shravan... Get inside..." She invited him , wiping her wet hands...

   " Aunty... Good morning.."

" Good morning shravan... Suman is sleeping..."

" Oh... Then I will come later aunty"

He was about to go ,Amma stopped him..

" Shravan..I will wake her up...come inside"

Shravan looked inside hesitantly..." Is  Anish bhaiya there? "

Amma would have understood why he's hesitating to get in...

Sudden guilt rose in her... She reached him in a wink and pulled him inside...

" Anish has gone to the play ground for his cricket practice... What if he's in home ? You are welcomed here at anytime.."

She made him to sit on the kitchen window ledge...

" Good morning shravan" I said gleefully...

He moved aside for me to sit...

I nodded. " shravan ... It's my usual place... I sit there daily to drink my coffee.. it's your turn today..sit and have amma's special coffee..."

Smiling , amma  started to prepare coffee..

Shravan jumped down to observe her ...

" Aunty .. what's so special in this aroma ?"

He pointed the coffee beans...

Amma laughed...

" Shravan...these are the coffee beans...I usually roast them and ground it into powder weekly once... Morning I make this coffee decoction... So ... it's really special as it's  home-made and blended with love.. "

Shravan listened enthusiastic...

" Aunty...may I help you?"

He requested , noticing the decoction maker...

" Sure..."

She happily taught him how to fill the upper chamber with coffee powder and hot water... He did as she told... Little while later , he leapt in joy to see the fresh coffee decoction  at the lower chamber...
