She was surprised to see him... She couldn’t find words to say…
“can I come in...?”
“Ohhh... Ya!!”
“Sorry to bother... But my car broke down….”
“Oh k... Oh k... Please do come in...”
“can I come in...?”
“Ohhh... Ya!!”
“Sorry to bother... But my car broke down….”
“Oh k... Oh k... Please do come in...”
As he entered, he saw an old lady sitting on the sofa watching some typical Saas bahu serial, she took his cell, charger n went inside…,
“Feroz, get him a towel..”
He saw a young boy looking at him and slowly coming close to give him the towel, taking the towel from him.. He realized that he was completely wet.
“Feroz.. Bring a t shirt n shorts from Papa’s room…”
as she brought a steaming cup of tea for him, keeping it on the dining table she said,
“you can change your clothes, Feroz will show you the bathroom..”
“Feroz...”
The boy came near to him, taking his hand he walked towards the door also handing him over a pair of shorts n t shirt.
Coming out he asked her about his cell as he thought of calling his sister.
“I’ve kept it for charging... You can call up after having the tea...”
he took the cup in his shivering hands.
The old lady looked at him but preferred to continue watching the television set.
“She’s my Daddi...”
“Oh k… Your parents aren’t home...?”
“They have gone to receive my brother… and Daddi wont sleep till she catches up with him… they’ll be back in an hour or two I guess”
“your brother.. if I’m not wrong, he’s studying in Delhi..??”
“Yes, he’s doing his masters in mass communication there...”
“Oh k”
“would you like to have something..??”
“Ahh.. Not really”
“you must be hungry... Isn’t it..? It’s quite late as well”
“that reminds me that I need to call my sister...”
“I’ll get your cell”
he wondered for a second, that was she the same girl who wasn’t willing to talk… and now she’s being so considerate.
Giving the cell in his hand she said to herself ‘thank god he didn’t allow his arrogance to come in between, or else he would have been out in rains’
“yes Mom”
“No.. Don’t worry... I’m at her place”
“he’ll come in a while...”
“Shall call you once he reaches... Okk”
“you n dad, Please go to sleep... Let her stay awake for me...”
“Okay...”
“Feroz, get him a towel..”

“you n dad, Please go to sleep... Let her stay awake for me...”
“Okay...”
She was nicely seated in the swing in the corner of the room, with her iPod playing, reading some book. He thought she’ll talk to him or ask something, but instead Feroz served him dal, rice, sabji and roti, as she saw Feroz, she said, “bring warm water, and I’ll take care of the rest... You go and sleep... ok!! N wear sweater...”
She got up from the swing, came n sat on the chair in front of him, keeping her book on the table continuing to read it.
Feroz kept the glass of water on the table and went inside.
His cell buzzed
“Where are you..?”
“Oh k.. Jus 10 mins ahead.. The turn next to Spencer’s daily”
“Seventh lane, you’ll see my car”
“Oh k...”
