Finally it was lunch time for Kabir. He went to the canteen with his friend and they bought a couple of samosas.

"Parth aaj tu tiffin nhi laaya?" Kabir asked his friend, "Mummy ne bhindi banai thi, na mujhe pasand hai na Papa ko. To ham dono tiffin nhi leke gey" Parth replied.

"Arey waah, tere aur tere Papa ke same dislikes hai?" Kabir asked sitting on the chair, "haan. Papa aur bete ke to same likes dislikes hote hai. Jo mujhe pasand hai vahi Papa ko aur jo mujhe nhi pasand woh Papa ko nhi pasand" Parth said.

Kabir nodded and started thinking how he and Manjot reacted on having paratha in the morning, they had the same dislike.

"Mere Papa ke bhi same dislikes honge?" Kabir asked Parth, "haan. Sab same to same" Parth replied making Kabir think about something he should't have thought.

Abhishek went to grab an apple in the kitchen, when he saw dog food.

"Kutta? Haan...kutta hi hoga, yeh dono to khane se rhi" He said to himself.

Sameeksha came to prepare milk for Aaliya, "tum logo ne koi pet rakha hai kya?" Abhishek asked, she nodded.

"Puppy hai", she replied, "vapas aata hi hoga, bimaar tha to vet ke pass tha kucch dino se" She said.

The door bell rang, "lagta hai aa gaya" She said excitingly and went to open the door.

"Pakad iss musibat ko" Bandana said irritated. Sameeksha took the pet in her arms, "mera baby wapas aa gaya" She said kissing him.

"Mujhe nikalna hai, Aaliya ko doodh de dio yaad se" Bandana said running to her car.

Sameeksha carefully put her pet on the carper, next to Aaliya.

She went to the kitchen and Abhishek picked up the puppy, "naam kya iska?" Abhishek asked, "Lallu Singh" Sameeksha said proudly.

"What the fuck!? Lallu Singh!?" He said in a low voice.

"Yaar. Tu kese jhelta hai iss naam ko? Dekhne me to smart lag raha hai, aur naam? Lallu?" He started talking to the puppy.

"Chal me tera naya naam rakhta hu" He said sitting on the carpet, "Aaliya, kya naam rakhe iska?" He asked Aaliya, who clearly, was not interested.

"Khabardaar!" Sameeksha said loudly, "yeh Lallu Singh hai. Isko kisi aur naam se bulaya to ghar se bahar fenk dungi" She warned Abhishek.

"Arey kesa naam hai!?" Abhishek said irritated. "To mat bulao iss naam se" She said feeding Aaliya. He rolled his eyes and just gave up.

Everybody was sitting in the hall, watching a movie after dinner.

"Comedy lagao na. Yeh kya crime wali laga rakhi hai" Kabir said, "exactly! Poora din crime dekhke thakti nhi tum dono?" Manjot asked Bandana and Sameeksha.

"Aapko bhi comedy pasand hai?" Kabir asked Manjot, "arey comedy movies to meri favourite hai" Manjot said.

"Hamari pasand kitni milti hai" Kabir said, Manjot smiled and nodded. "Mene suna hai ke usually son aur father ki pasand milti hai" Kabir said.

Bandana immediately turned to look at Kabir, Manjot also felt weird. Bandana and Manjot looked at each other, "Kabir kucch bhi mat bola karo" Sameeksha said to make the situation less awkward.

"Choti Mumma mene sachme suna hai esa" Kabir said, "me sone jaa rhi hu" Bandana said, Manjot looked at her. She left without saying anything else.

"Tum log movie dekhke so jaana, me Bandana ke pass jaati hu" Sameeksha said as she knew Bandana needed her.

She went Bandana's room and found her crying.

"Bandana..." Sameeksha said sitting in front of her, "mat ro na please" She said.

Bandana immediately hugged her, "mene bhula diya tha sab...achan...ak yaad..." She said, Sameeksha rubbed her back. "Kabir baccha hai, kucch nhi jaanta woh" Sameeksha said.

Bandana broke the hug, "jaanti hu. Usse kucch naa hi pata chale to accha hai. Lekin ab woh...bada ho raha hai, aage jaake aur sawaal karega. Tu jaanti hai na usse? Jab takk jawaab na mile woh poochta rahega" She said.

Sameeksha nodded, "hame bas uske sawaalo ko avoid karna hoga" She said. Bandana hummed.

*******

Manjot woke up a bit early, he got fresh and went to the kitchen.

Bandana wasn't there yet, his wrist watch showed 8:37am. That was unusual, he knew Bandana wakes up really early.

He went to her room, the door was open. Sameeksha and Bandana were still sleeping. Sameeksha was leaning against the headboard and Bandana was sleeping with her head resting on Sameeksha's lap and arms wrapped around her waist.

"Shit. Kahi Bandana...woh to nhi?" Manjot thought, "nhi nhi...bas friends hogi dono...me bhi kya soch raha hu...lekin agar sachme..." He thought again.

He left and went to the kitchen.

Bandana woke up after sometime, she looked up, Sameeksha was still sleeping. She smelt something burning, "Kabir..." She said in a low voice, thinking her son must have been cooking something.

"Sameeksha" She said tapping on Sameeksha's cheek, "let jaa" She said. Sameeksha hummed and laid on the bed.

Bandana got fresh and went to the kitchen, surprisingly, it was Manjot instead of Kabir.

"Kya drama ho raha hai?" Bandana asked, "koi utha nhi tha to socha khane ke lie kucch bana lu" He said, Bandana rolled her eyes.

"Hatto" She said and started cleaning the mess he created.

Meanwhile, Manjot searched a photo of Sunny Leone wearing bikini, "hot hai na?" He asked showing it to Bandana.

She made a poker face and looked away, "pasand nhi aayi?" He asked. She didn't reply.

He searched another photo, "come on, isme to sachme sexy lag rhi hai" He said. Bandana didn't pay attention to what he said, "dekho na" He insisted.

"Mujhe kyu dikha rahe ho?" She asked irritated, "jaanti hu tum straight ho, iss lie tumhe pasand hai. Me lesbian nhi hu jo lattoo ho jaungi in photos pe" She said.

"Tum lesbian nhi ho?" He asked with an ear to ear smile, she gritted her teeth, "I...mean...mujhe pehle se pata tha tum lesbian nhi ho" He said smiling.
