MAUSAM
She had gotten up early and was now in her nightgown.
It was a dainty little peice.
Custom made for her.
It was soft cotten with laces.
Slip dress , reaching till her mid thighs.
Since it was summer
She went out without any robe.
She slowly made her towards ,
The dining room.
If she suddenly went to kids room ,
What would she do?
She did not know there schedule.
So she sat down on the sofa,
Pretending to do something in her phone.
Seeing her the staff ,
Stiffened and then giving her dirty looks, went away
It was really early,
Like 5 o clock.
And no seemed to be up.
There was only the cook in the kitchen,
She saw her making peanut butter sandwich.
She got curious and asked," who is it for?"
The cook looked at her and then begrudging said," for aarav baba and Aru baby."
She nodded.
Did they eat this at home?
Did not they feel hungry?
"And what are they taking in tiffin?"
She asked her again.
She gave her a so-done look.
But I pretended not to notice and looked at her shamelessly
"They don't take tiffin ,
They have a cafetaria,
Where they eat in recess.
Madam"
Radha aunty said sarcastically.
She glared at her.
Oh so they are in cafetaria,
Off course the school they were in must be expensive and posh.
She herself had not studied in not very post school but her school was fine,
Since she was from a small city.
When her parents had suddenly become successful, they were the new money people,
Who however they tried could not merge with the old money people.
Her family had been called from wannabes to much worse name,
It was another reason she had been not able to marry Reyansh.
She shook he read to get rid of these thoughts.
And focused on her children.
She took out a pan to make herself tea,
It was really early ,
So she decided to have tea and parle g biscuit,
It was the best Combo to start the day,
And she needed to eat something if she did , she knew she would faint.
She let the tea boil and kept an eye on the tiffin,
And the cook just packed 2 sandwich in the box.
"Just 2?"she found herself asking.
The cook did not even look at her this time.
" The kids eat only this much ,
But what would you know"
She muttered and sighed.
I twisted my mouth,
Rude much.
She then took her biscuit and tea,
Biscuit which was chocolate cookies
And not parle g or moneco or any normal biscuit
She settled on the dinning table.
And there stroll down her children,
With their uniform not properly complete and eyes with sleep.
She hid her smile behind her bite.
When they saw her they froze.
And then their nanny came behind them.
They all silently came and sat down on the table.
" Aru baby , pehle aap choti banava lo phir nashta kar lena , aapko der ho jayegi." The nanny said.
" But phir vo nashata nahi kar payegi ,
Kyunki papa hame 10 min baad school le jayenge." ARAV said.
" But phir agar choti nahi banayi to late ho jayega , ek din Bina nashte chalta he , arav baba."she said.
And arav was about to argue.
Then I said,"how about she eats now and you can make her hair in the car, as they go for school , it is quite far , right?"
