Akshita's pov
Life has been hell chaotic and busy these days. I am juggling between my school, coaching and self studies. By the end of the I finish my studies I end up being tired and sleepy. Ma is generous to handle the kitchen on her without any complains.
It's an early morning and I am here sitting with piles of paper on the breakfast table. I am checking the answer papers of my students and I need to finish this task soon. A hot cup of tea is placed on the table taking my attention and I raise my head to thank the person.
"Thank you Adi" Yes. You heard right it's Adi. Since he makes the best tea I have given him the duty to prepare tea for me everyday. I only drink tea made by him or else Ma.
He smiles at me and press a kiss on my forehead "Pleasure is all mine" He has been nothing these days but supportive, caring and loving. He is the one who takes care of me these days as I am too busy to look after myself.
"Bhaiya mujhe chai milegi kya ?" Ishan chimes in carrying bag on his shoulder.
(Brother will I get some tea ?)
Aditya mocks a smile and squeeze his shoulder "Mere pair dabayega kya ?"
(Will you press my legs ?)
"Koi meri shaadi karwayega kya ?" Ishan says loud enough for Ma who just entered the house along with Papa.
(Will someone fix my marriage ?)
"Meri chappal se maar khayega kya ?" Ma picks up his tone mocking a glare and he shakes his head in denial. The room erupts with our laughter and Ishan makes a grumpy face.
(Do you need beatings from my slippers ?)
"Check it" I pass some answer sheets and pencil to Ishan and he reads them carefully. "Write the marks with the pencil and I'll see them later"
"Eww bhabhi. Your students handwriting is so bad"
"Ayee don't say anything bad about my kids. They are just in kindergarten so it's okay"
"Your kids hmm" Aditya mumbles sliding on the chair beside me and I fix him with a sharp gaze.
"She is right !! Tumhari toh isse bhi buri thi beta jii" Ma replies laying down the breakfast on the table and I quickly get up to help her.
(Yours was even worse than this)
"You do your paper checking. I am almost done with serving" I heard Ma the moment I step inside the kitchen. Giving her a warm smile I take the dishes from her ignoring her protests.
"Relax Ma" I motion her to go near the dinning table and she shakes her head at me.
"Beta Panditji has said next week is the auspicious day for the grah pravesh. What do you both think about this ?" Ma reminds us about the house warming of our new home. The one Aditya gifted me in our anniversary which is near my parents home.
"I am ready" I answer without thinking much.
"If she is ready then I am too" Aditya shrugs and my in-laws nod in agreement.
"Ma feed me I am checking the papers" Ishan requests pulling his chair close to hers and Ma makes a bite for him. Aditya looks between them and demands for the same.
With a smile Ma feeds her both grown up children's with her hand. The sight infront of me gives me a sense of warmth along with the longingness. Longing for the affection of my mother. It's been few months since I last saw her or visited my parents house.
No matter how much I try to ignore the fact but truth will remain the same that I miss them. How can I not miss them ? They are my parents and I have grown up with them. Their blood run in my veins and I am part of them. This sudden distance between us eats up my inside. At the same time it's hard for me to forget everything.
