Next morning Nisar brought two packets of bread , packet of Amul butter and pouch of milk. Nisar looked at his wrist watch it was about to 9 o'clock. Later Mrs Sinha prepared breakfast.
After finishing breakfast. Mr Sinha lit up cigarette and instructed Avinash to switch on TV. Both Mr Sinha and and Nisar were watching TV and kept discussing on programme, Avinash was immersed in his laptop just then door bell rang.
Avinash went and opened the door. Sohini was standing out.
' Sohini.' Avinash uttered in surprise.
“How is Aunty” She asked taking step inside.
“Come,come, Sohini.’ Mrs Sinha called her
'How are you Aunty, I was feeling lonely at home so I thought to see you.'Bhabhi had also gone to her office'
'Does your Bhabi also work ?'
'Yes, she works in pharmaceutical company.,'
Mr Punit Jha, father of Sohini died five years back from cancer. After death of his father she got admission in Software Engineering in pune and once in month she used to visit Bombay at his brother's house who was working in public sector bank.
' What is your plan in Diwali, are you going to Azamgarh.'
'This year we will celebrate in Bombay. We have been celebrating Diwali every year in our native place. This year in stead of going back to native place I came to Bombay as my brother has asked Mummy and my younger brothers to come Bombay. They are coming on thursday.' She replied glaring at Avinash who was reading her furtively.
Avinsash moved to kitchen Nisar followed him.
'I had never expected that she would come. I am surprised the way they are talking freely it seems that they had met after long period'
'Dont underestimate your Mom, she is not less than superintendent of police infact She is interrogating her in detail .' Nisar said smiling.
'Leave my Mom, what is your assessment.'
'She looks good what else I can say. Don't forget to take contact No and be brave, forget what happened in 8th std ' Nisar said smilingly later poured tea in three cups. Avinash put all three filled cups in tray and came out from kitchen.
.'OK my love Guru' Avinash replied laughingly he came out with tray put it on table peering at her Sohini.
Aunty, you didnt make plan to see Bombay. After all you are coming first time in Bombay.'
'No I don't. Though Avinash was also forcing me 'Mrs Sinha replied
Sohini left before 1 o'clock but during this period she established good rapport with parents of Avinash. Mrs Sinha also felt happy on her company. She promised that next time she will come and if they remained in touch she will see Bombay with her.
Avinash asked her contact number when both came out from hall she gave her mobile number unhesitatingly with smile.

" See, girls of today. could girl of our time have come out from home so freely. I enjoyed her un stoppable talk and also her behavior with elders. Her behavior shows that she belongs to respected and well cultured background.' Mrs Sinha said looking at Mr Sinha

' Dont think about me. Why don't you search suitable girl for Nisar. We have so many muslims neighbours'
Avinash replied promptly on Nisar,s comment
Mr Sinha turned his face towards him taking puff of cigarette.
'If Nisar gets ready I speak to some of my muslim friends. I have understood his ongoing problems and the phase he is passing through can be solved only when someone becomes guardian on his behalf."
Nisar silently smiled.
Nisar silently smiled.
