CHAPTER-28

PAPA
~~~~

Myself and yash were at late night meeting... Suddenly yash phone started ringing... And usually yash never attended a call when he is in a meeting.. But today he attended.. Wow.. He is also speaking with that person.. Wow wow... Don't get me wrong... He never gives me anything to scold him...

Me-" let's take a break of fifteen minutes.." And everyone started to disperse.. Yash came towards me..
Yash-"the meeting just started ago fifteen minutes dad.. Why do you need a break now..?" Wow.. He questions me.. It shouldn't be this way...
Me-" I know ... What to do.. I am the chairman.... Son.."
Yash-"dad..fine..."and he sighed..
Me-"how can you attended a call when you are in a meeting.. Don't you know to maintain decorum.."
Yash-"if I haven't attended the call ... you will be scolding me even more..!"
Me-" what you did is wrong.. I won't scold you for maintaining decorum.."
Yash-" even it's from ketu..?" Giving me a challenging smirk...
Me-"oh.." I could have scolded him.." What did she called for?"
Yash-"I can't hear her.. Because of poor signal over here... I think she is bored.."
Dad-" could be.. " Spending whole day alone is boring thing.. And that to for her..."Let's go home.." I said him ...
Yash-" meeting?"
Dad-"let's continue tomorrow..."
Yash-" what?"
Dad-"come on... Let's go... It's an order.. From the chairman and dad.." He smiled at me like crazy dad..but came with me..

I turned to call my assistant and said him to take care and we are leaving and I will see tomorrow..

I totally forgotten about ketu... As she came yash is becoming little bit normal.. Like attending phone calls in meeting.. Don't think I am mental... You need your son to be happy and mischievous right... Then only it will be interesting right... You can scold them.. Then patch when the do things well.. It's my mistake too why yash is like a mature idiot.. When his mother died .... I became distance from them.. To not show my frustration and loneliness to them... And he has to take care of him and sesh... And sometimes me as I was a drunkard ... I am not a drunkard now.. Ketu had me promise her...

One time I went to wish Krishnan birthday.. I was drinking..

Ketu-" uncle ... What is that you are drinking...?"
Me-" it's a juice.."
Ketu-" then can I have it..?" Before I can say something...
Lakshmi-"come here... "And gave me a hard glare... She is good sister of mine.. that I don't have.. she distanced herself from after I started drinking.. she and Krishnan advices me not too.. but it's the only thing that made me in ecstasy...
Ketu-"yes mom" and she went...
Then that night krishnan came and scolded me.. And also said not to drink or bring the bottles before ketu.. I nodded... But that didn't made me stop drinking... I drunk in the room... and forgot to hide it..
But next morning.. When ketu came to woke me up.. Seeing the bottle.. thinking it's the juice she had it..

And due to the high intoxication she passed out.... Krishnan and Lakshmi got really angry on me... And disappointed on me... Lakshmi stopped talking with me and Krishnan avoided me... Then ketu woke up next day.... and she had severe headache that she cried.. and vomitted and got fever... And was ill a weak..
Me-" ketu.. are you feeling okay?"
Ketu-"good uncle... uncle don't drink that juice... I drunk that and got ill.. don't say my mom... she said me not to have your juice.. I had.. she thinks I had food poison... don't say her please.... and sorry for drinking your juice.."
Me-" I won't say.." if only you know.. she knows.." I am sorry too.. I promise you.. that I won't ever drink that juice in my life.."
Ketu-" thanks uncle.." and she smiled.... then I stopped drinking.. Then I went through de addiction course... only after I stopped drinking Krishnan and Lakshmi started speaking with me normally..

Right now..I need to make ketu and yash grow close and make them fall in head over heels for each other...
I called sesh.. That idiot is not picking the phone.. When needed the help .. He will disappear..

We went home.. Yash and me saw ketu sleeping in the dinning table.. And we saw the time ten past five.. Saw the foods are untouched.. Shit.. I totally forgotten that she could cook for us.. And we ate before the meeting as usually.. Shit..shit..
Me-" can't you remember me.. Before that ketu is home and not to make late night meetings.. Idiot.."
Yash-" what .. I am an idiot... I said you.. Why to have this meeting now.. You said you need to finish as of now.."
Me-" but you did didn't said me ketu is here.. So, you are an idiot.. "
Sesh-" who is the idiot?"
Me-" you both are idiots..?"
Sesh-" what happened to him?" Asked yash pointing me..
Me-"where were you ... Isn't your work got over by five.. Why were you not home still now.. And not attending the call?"
Sesh-" I went out to invite my friends for the reception.. And then I left the phone in the office itself.. "
Me-" ketu.. Slept without taking food.. And she cooked for us.. And you didn't had your dinner right?"
Sesh-" I had.."
Me-" we are eating again.. Got it.. That too like we are hungry.."
Sesh-" that is too much.. Dad.. Let's explain her.."
Me-" no way.. I don't want you to disappoint my daughter.. Got it?"
Yash-" dad.. We are also your son.. We eat .. But not like we are hungry.. Come on let's reheat the dishes.. And then let's wake her.." Before I can say anything.. They grabbed the foods and went to reheat it..

KETU

" wake up ... Madam... Wake up .. Ketu.." I woke up to see yash sitting next to me.. And papa and sesh sitting across me..

Papa-"can we all eat.."
Me-" sorry.. I slept.. Let me reheat the foods.."
Yash-"we reheated it... Actually we were sorry.. I am sorry.. I should have informed you to eat and sleep and not to wait for us.."
Sesh-" I am sorry.. I should have came home... As soon as my work got over... I went like out like I do usually..."
Papa-" I am sorry.. I should not kept late night meeting.. So sorry.. We did it like we do usually.. Sorry.. Sorry.."

Me-" it's okay guys.. No need to get stressed up....Let's eat.."

We started to eat.. I can't eat.. Because of ignoring the hunger stomach...

Papa-" what happened ? Are you still angry at us.. We are really sorry.. "
Me-" papa.. I am not even a bit angry.. I understand it was your usual ... Calm down.. "
Papa-" then why are you not eating properly..."
Me-" it's because I slept ignoring my stomach which was hungry.."
Papa-" oh..."
Me-" I am not angry at any of you.. So, all of eat fully.. You will be hungry.... "
Sesh-"sorry.. We all ate already.. .."
Me-" oh... "
Papa-" no.. Ketu.. We didn't .. Shut up eat sesh..."
Sesh-" ketu.. I am sorry... I am really sorry... There was really no one use to cook in house in night.. Other than occasion.. So, I really forgotten and in practice we all ate out... But, seriously.. Your food were really truthfully yummy.. But I can't eat anymore.. Please forgive me..."
Yash-" I am too sorry.." I was silent... Don't really don't know what to say... I am disappointed that they are out.. But they are eating again for me making me happy
Papa-" you both were eating... Eat" said angrily... Then they sighed at him and started eating....

I started to laugh.. They are asking me why I am laughing.. I am laughing for about last five minutes without break.. I controlled my laugh..

Me- " papa.. Leave them... It's okay... "
Papa-" really... I am sorry too.."
Me-" no.. Problem.. But you have a punishment to clean the table and wash the dishes ... Because of my laziness.."
Sesh-" I will eat.." Said and started to take food
Me-" nothing is going to change devar.. You are divide among yourself who is going to wash the dish and who is going to clean the table and who is going to clean the kitchen.. And don't throw the leftover.. Store it..."
Sesh-" it's unfair.."
Me-"book the easiest for you quickly.."
Papa-" I will clean the table.."
Yash-" I will clean the kitchen.."
Sesh-" then I am washing.. That's not good.. "
Me-" ok guys.. Do your works properly ... I am really sleepy... Goodnight papa.. Goodnight sesh.. Good night yash.." They all said me good night and went to do their works.. I smiled at them and went to bed and slept quickly...

Next day ..
I woke by six thirty.. And done breakfast and they all had their food and said they will return back in evening.. And I had the leftovers of yesterday for my lunch..and read the remaining story book in the afternoon... And then sesh came first fifteen minutes before six ... Papa came by six past ten and yash came by six thirty... And we all spoked some time .... and I made kuli pannikaram and onion chutney... And we all ate.. And had yesterday dessert icecream.. Then papa and yash discussed something about work.. Me and she said good night and went to our rooms...

I came up and changed my dress.. And started to watch TV... I watching changing channels... And came across alaipayuthey ... Starting in twenty five minutes...
I went to the kitchen and made two packets of popcorn for the full movie.... And took a Pepsi can from the fridge.. And came back got settled in sofa... Yash came to the room....

Yash-"are you still hungry... ?" Seeing popcorn in my hands

Me-" no... Just I am going to watch alaipayuthey.. So!" Said pointing the popcorn and the Pepsi..

Yash-" oh.. So.. You usually watch like this..?" Eyeing the popcorn and Pepsi..

Me-" hmmm... Always like this in theatre and movie time in home... Then only I get a feeling I watched a movie... How about you?"

Yash-" I may altogether watched about twenty movie., that because people dragged me to theatre.. I am not a great fan of watching movies..."

Me-" great .... Congratulation yash... You have officially missed a great entertainment part of life...."

Yash-"it's not my type...I don't see anything great about it...." What.. I mostly pass my time with
watching movies... And I got a husband who don't like cinema... I should show him.. How good is that...(note the sarcasm..)

Me-" you free now...?"

Yash-" ah..hmm.."
