'Ok Aunty,I am also going'

'Pleased to meet you' Avinash said again

"How many days will you stay aunty" Sohini asked
“May be after tomorrow we will be back to Bihar ?,
'I am living just nearby if I get free I shall come down tomorrow to see you again" Sohini replied
'Ok Beti, Do you have address.' She asked looking at Avinash.
“I give her” Avinash wrote address of society on a piece of paper and passed to her.
Avinash was surprised how come within three hours of journey his mother saw in her and the way she was holding her hand as if she didn't let her go. How bold this girl is and what relation she established with his mom that she wanted to see his mother again and mom invited her too. Avinash noticed her intelligent and manipulative too. She even didn’t shy in telling to come in strange place and how did she mingle with strange family freely.
Sohini,s simplicity and beautiful smile, reverence in conversation with his mother begun to melt his petrified thought too. Sohini begun to look most beutiful to him perhaps she had also started jotting down a bizarre feeling on blank pages of his heart.
Nisar stood watching them silently.
