Sana came and hugged her from back pulling her out of trance.

Sana: So how was the surprise?

Avu smiled and kissed her cheek.

Avu: Thank you so much

Sana wiped her tears.

Sana: Ab ye rona dhona band karo chalo. You know mujhe pasand nhi hai ye sab

Avu chuckled at her and hugged her tightly. She looked at Rahul standing looking at them with a smile. Avu smiled at him and opened her other arm. Rahul felt bit awkward but went near them and joined the hug.

Sana: Ye meri mom hai

She said with a pout.

Avu: Sana behave

Avu said glaring at her.

Sana: Huh!!

Rahul stucked his tongue out at her.

Avu: Ayyee dono bass karo

Sana and Rahul: Okk

They said in unison.

Sana: Chalo let's cut the cake and celebrate

Rahul and Sana dragged Avu and made her sit on sofa. Both sat on either side of her. Sana lit the candles and Rahul gave her knife. Avu was about to cut the cake but Sana held he hand.

Sana: Mom wish maango pehlo

Avu chuckled at her.

Avu: Okk

Avu closed her eyes.

Avu: (in mind) Always keep my loved ones happy

She blew the candles. Rahul and Sana clapped their hands and sang happy birthday. Avu held their hands and made them hold knife with her. They cut the cake. Avu fed Sana first. Sana fed her and put some on her cheeks.

Avu: Arree nhi kro ye sab. Maaroongi tujhe

Sana giggled at her.

Avu: Kisika kehna to manna hi nhi

Avu ignored her and fed Rahul. He ate some from her hand and took it from her and made her eat and put a little on her nose smiling. Avu frowned. Rahul and Sana hi-fied laughing. Avu shooked her head.

Avu: Mein saaf karke aati hu

She went in washroom to clean her face. She came out and saw food on table everything her favorite.

Avu: Ye sab kisne banaya

Sana: Oh hello. Tum samajhte kya ho khud ko?

Rah: Tum kya samajhti ho hnn?

She shouted to make them stop before they end up killing each other. Both glared each other.

Avu nodded with a sad smile. Sana got up and hugged her tightly.

Sana: Don't worry. I will come again. Pakka

Rah: Aunty ye kya hai? Iski kya zaroorat hai?

Avu: Kuch nhi hai chup chap rakhle

Rah: Aunty par mein kaise....

Avu: (cut her) Maine bola rakhle matlab rakhle. Zyada nhi hai

Rahul looked at Sana from the corner of his eye. She nodded with a smile. Rahul touched Avu's feet. But she pulled him in a hug.

Avu: Khush raho. Aur dobara jldi aana

Rahul nodded. Sana hugged her.

Avu: Batake aate to khane ke lie bohot kuch bana deti. Saath le jate. Chalo koi nhi. Aa jaao tum dono ko station tak chhod aati hu

She went to take out her car. Rahul looked at money.

Sana: It's okk. Don't worry. Mom waise bhi maanne wali nhi thi bina die

Rahul nodded and kept it in his wallet. Avu came with her car and they both sat down. She drove to the station. She dropped them and bid them bye. She left after train departed. Rahul was really quite during whole journey. Sana noticed but shrugged off at that time. They reached home and went upstairs. Rahul opened the door and both went inside. They got fresh.

Sana: Dinner ka kya kare?

Rahul didn't reply. He was just sitting lost in his thoughts. Sana got tensed and went to him. She sat beside him and tapped his shoulder.

Rah: Hmm?

Sana: Kya hua?

Rah: Kya? Kuch bhi to nhi

Sana: Rahul I know something happened

Rah: Sana yrr kuch nhi

Sana: There is something wrong. Tumhe bhi pata hai aur mujhe bhi. Batao

Rahul sighed.
