One day they two left India to bloom their love blossom, today landed again on motherland with three more flowers — sign of their love. Waves of memories surged in heart. The city they lived was indeed beautiful but they found musty smell of hometown's ground most cozy after taking exotic oxygen for ten years.

While stepping in Punjab's ground Mayank took infant Olly from Abhi and started loosing her furry covers. Abhi panicked -- "arey kya oar rahe ho ? She'll catch cold!"
"Kuch nahi hoga, thoda apne watan ki hawa lagne do." Mayank continued letting his daughter catch her country's air.
"Tum kabse ye sab sanskar maanne lage ?"

They reached near the market, near Abhi's flower shop, which is closed and sooted now.

"I told you Dandy, papa loves me more than you two." Little Amy pointed at Dandy and Olly.

"And why we should believe that didi ?" Dandy asked raising an eyebrow.

"See Papa's shop's name"

Yes, the name Amaryllis is indistinct but still visible. Abhi became nostalgic memorising the history of that name, which he cannot explain to his children.

"See the buildings Dandy, there was a vast arable paddy fields before years... there I had kissed your papa for first time" — Mayank informed his son reaching near that special place, "he was a cute shy baby then, not a tetchy guy like now."   Abhi glared at him for too much information. His children's chuckles made him more angry.

"Yehi sikhenge tumhare bachche" – Abhi yelled snatching Olly from Mayank.

"So what's wrong in it ?  Aur tum jaise cute partner mile to pyaar me lattu honge hi naa"

"Just shut up buddhe!!"

Mayank forgot his age and formalities stepping in his hometown. Though Abhi is an evergreen tree to him for ever.

Abhi's mom and didi went to Mayank's house to welcome them together as Abhi's frail for recent C-section and visiting two families at same day would be tough for him. Mayank's mom did welcoming rituals for her grandchildren.

Mayu's dad, who once accused Abhi a lot, today took him in affectionate embrace and blessed his head with tear drops --- for giving their clan three healthy offsprings and three little companion of his old age.

Abhi's mother couldn't keep her tears seeing her grandchildren, his didi lifted three of them one by one as they're getting to touch the babies for first time.

"Tere bachche to bilkul tere jaise cute hai Abhi!"

"Kya matlab ? Mere Mayu jaisa nahi hai ?"

"Are aunty mera woh matlab nahi tha... I mean dono jaise hi hue hain"

"Par tumne sirf Abhi jaise cute kaha"

"Umm sorry aunty"

Mayank's eyes rolled for his mother's everlasting characteristic. But his mom stroked the girl's chin-- "arey pagli main to majak kar rahi thi. Of course bachche Abhi jaisa hi cute hain"

Some good long family hours spent along with 'desi khana'. Both of the grandmothers made a lot of poha, lachcha paratha, kheer, imarti, halwa, rabdi and many more items for their grandchildren. Little Olly couldn't taste those but Amy and Dandy didn't leave a little bit on their plates.

Their childhood friends visited at afternoon. Most of them are now householder and have one or two kids. A lot of childish gossip ran. They teased;
"Usually two people run and returns becoming three. But Mayu, you two ran and came back becoming five!!"
"There was no chutiya friends like you to waste time, so... what to do ?" Mayank got a glare from Abhi for this savage reply.

Full day passed with joy, all were tired due to long journey. Mayank's dad denied to let his grandchildren sleep with their parents. Actually he wants to spend more time with his little friends.

– "Tum dono tired ho, bachche paas rahenge to aur disturb karenge. Jao rest karo, inko mere sath rehne do"

- "yes yes we have to stay with grandpa" Amy and Dandy declared together.

- "But dad, Olly ko to dijiye" Abhi said shyly.

His father-in-law denied again holding his little angel – "arey nahi, ye titli to jyada sayayegi ro ro kar"

Mayank's mom yelled on the childish grandpa – "aap bhi na kitne na samajh hain! Ye doodh ki bachchi hai, raat ko ise bhookh lagegi to kya hoga ?"

"Oh ho! Acha sorry beta. Lo, le jao."

Now Abhi actually felt the bliss of 'sasural'. All of the family members were happy finally. Mayank waited till Abhi fed Olly and make her sleep in swing. He felt easy as his dad kept his other children with him. There in Park City's single room it was awkward in front of two kids.

"I'm tired Mayu" – Abhi tried to say in weak tone when Mayank made him lay and hover over him.

"You should think before calling me buddhe!"
Abhi's face faded remembering he told Mayank 'buddhe' in front of Amy and Dandy in road. He seemed more nervous when Mayank said leaning on him – "Ab buddhe ka stamina dekho". But soon started laughing with the 33 years old baby's puppy eyes.

But Abhi didn't seem so happy when Mayank left him and laid aside. - "Kya hua ? Hath kiun gaye ?"

"Didn't you just say you're tired ?"

Abhi smiled shyly - "tumhare liye Olly ko jhule me sulaya..."

A brat smile occurred in Mayu's lips before hovering again on Abhi.

"Bas thoda gentle rehna, Olly ke janam ke baad aaj pehli baar hai"

"Relax baby. Main kabhi bhi rough gaya hun kya tumpe ? Mujhe pata hai mere pyaare blossom ko kaise treat karna hai......"

When they were done, Mayank said kissing Abhi's sweaty face — "man karta hai bachhpan me laut jaane ka... wohi baby Abhi ko chhedne ka"
Abhi replies with heavy breathing — "is janam me to possible nahi hai, agle janam me dekhte hain....."

***Three years later

"Chemme mum--maa hihihihi"

A two years old boy challenged his mom to chase him and ran away. His mom was busy in making tea, but he considered her son; she knows why the pie asking her to do so. She needs to walk more to flex her legs.

Oh no! The little munchkin went so far, near the boundary of their vast garden. Shalini can walk now with Adi's ingenious treatment but still needs practice and continuous therapy. Adi is quite busy with his profession so he taught his children to make their mumma walk and run.

"Chemme chemme... hahaha"
The little brat still calling his mumma by hand's gesture but Shalini's legs gave up. She fell down on her knees. Adorini ran to attend her, while Shohagini dragged her little brother by his ear.

"Imp!! Papa will give you injection Prem!"

"Noooooo..." Prem starts whinning. Adi came fast from his house-attached clinic.

"Kya hua Shalu ? Girh kaise gayi ? (To the girls) How many times I told you take care of mumma ?"

"Prem ki wajah se mumma girh gaye papa. Ye badmash mumma ko daur kara ra tha"— Shohagini complains in her own style.

"Achcha! Chhote bhai ko blame kar rahi ho ? Tum dono kya kar rahe the ?"

"Arey Adi it's ok. They did nothing, mujhse hi balance nahi rakkha gaya"

"Mumma fell mumma fell hihihi..."

"CHUP!!!"

The little boy starts crying when his papa shouted. Shalini's father had just woken up, he quickly came hearing his ladla grandson's cry.

"Kya hua mere Premu ko ? Aaja naanu ke paas"

Adi also lifted Shalini and made her sit, massaged her knees. Ador and Shohag brought cups and trays serving tea and cookies. The girls slightly became expert in small works after being didis.

Whatever, finally they all are happy. Shalini will hardly take six more months to be totally cured. Then they will camp again in Himalayan hills along with Abhiyank and their children. They will learn camping from childhood, like their parents. Adi is eagerly counting days for that day............
