*NIKUNJ*
(Diksha's residence)

Writer's POV:-

"Phir ma'am ne bola ki humare internal exams ke baad hi jana hai, but koi ni exams to jaldi hi ho jayenge." Diksha was telling her day's everything to her mother, who was oiling her hair. She was sitting on floor with her back while her mother was sitting on sofa while her fingers were massaging Diksha's scalp.
(Then ma'am said, we have to go after our internal exams only, but no problem as the exams will be over soon.)

It was evening when she reached her house after college. She was apple of her parents eyes. Being single child that too girl, made her parents extra loving, caring, protective and possessive towards her. Though she is very much attached to both of them, yet she is habitual of telling everything to her mother, more.

Her mother, Annapurna Shrivastaw is a beautiful, humble, sweet and a strong lady. She knew her inside out. She is more like a best friend to her, whom she use to tell everything.

Her father, Mayank Shrivastaw is an adorable, polite and sweet person though he is a strong man but becomes emotional when it come to his daughter. He never said 'NO' to her, for anything.

"Hmm....wo to theek hai but tumlog rahoge Kahan?" Her mother asked.
(Hmm... that's okay, but where will you all stay?)

"Wo log arrangements karenge na rahne Ka aur baki sab zaruri arrangements bhi college hi dekhega. Ma'am be bola hai." She replied.
(They will do the arrangements for it and other important arrangements too, will be done by college itself. Ma'am said so.)

"Acha..." Her mother bstarted to say when they heard their doorbell rang. (Oo...)

"Jaa darwaza khol de tere papa honge." She said to her.
(Go, open the door. It must be your father.)

Diksha nodded and got up to open the door.

"Papa...." She chirped with a big smile, immediately after opening the door.

"Are aaj to mera shona bacha bahot hai khush hai!" Her father too reflected the same smile as he saw his daughter smiling.
(Ohh, my sweet child is very happy today!)

"Haan...pta hai humara college na internship ke liye bhej raha humein, internal exams ke baad." She replied happily.
(Yes, you know our college is sending us to do internship, after internal exams.)

"Aree wahh, meri chhoti chidiya badi ho gayi, ab jaldi hi naukari karne lag jayegi. nai Purna ?" He said emotionally to his wife looking at his daughter.
(Ohh wow, my little birdie grew up so big, she will soon start working... right Purna?)

"Hmm....badi to ho gayi hai par bachpana ab tak nahi gaya hai, pata nahi aage kaise manage karegi sab." She said in concerned tone.
(Hmm....she definitely has grown up but her childishness is not gone yet. Don't know how will she manage everything ahead.)

"Are maate tension kyu leti ho, main bahot hoshiyar hoon sab manage kar lungi.....you see I'm so smart." Diksha replied dramatically, pulling her imaginary collars up, trying to ease the emotional surrounding.
(Ohh Mother! Why are you worrying, I'm very intelligent, I'll manage everything....you see I'm so smart.)

"Haan tumse zyada hoshiyar to koi hai hi nahi duniya me. Aakhir har koi itna smart thodi na hota hai ki garam tel me garam masala daal ke puche isme reaction kyu nahi ho raha." Her mother replied humourously.
(Yes, no one is more intelligent than you in this world. After all nobody is that smart to add spices in boiling oil and then asking ' why there's no reaction?'.)

"Yaar mummy aise thodi na beizzati karte hai mere cooking skills ka....Haan theek hai.. mujhe thode na pata tha ki kya hoga, isiliye daal diya, aur wo bhi itni purani baat hai aap Papa ko ab kyu bata rahi hai.?" Diksha whined stomping her foot on floor.
(What mumma, you don't insult my cooking skills like this... alright... I wasn't aware of the consequences, that's why I did so, moreover this is so old topic, why are you explaining things to papa now?)

Her parents laughed at her childishness.

"Dekho isiliye bola tha ki abhi bachpana gaya nahi hai." Said Annapurna laughingly. Mayank too laughed looking at his cute daughter.
(See.... that's why I said her childishness isn't gone yet.)

She puffed her face crossing her hands over her chest and pouted adorably seeing her parents laughing at her childish ways.

"Bas na mumma papa....abhi aur Kitna mazak udaiyega mera...."she whined again.
(Enough no Mumma papa....how long are you both gonna make fun of me.)

Her parents stopped laughing and looked at her adorably.

"Kaun kahega tu badi ho gayi. Bachchi hai tu bilkul, meri chhoti chidiya." Mayank said lovingly caressing her hair lovingly.
(Who will say you're grown up now. You're still a kid, my little birdie.)

Diksha's POV :-

"Kaun kahega tu badi ho gayi. Bachchi hai tu bilkul, meri chhoti chidiya."
Papa said to me a bit emotionally as he caressed my hair lovingly.
(Who will say you're grown up now. You're still a kid, my little birdie.)

"Aww....my cute papa, don't worry I'll always be your little birdie, even after becoming 85." I laughed too.

He grinned and Mumma too smiled wiping the corner of her eyes.

"Chalo khana thanda ho jayega warna. aap fresh ho Kar aaiye main khana lagati hoon. Khud BHI emotional hote hai mujhe bhi kar dete hai." Said mumma as she moved to set table.
(Alright let's have dinner, otherwise it will get cold. You go get fresh I'm setting the table. You yourself get and make me emotional too along with you.)

We had our dinner with so much fun and laughter.

After wishing good night to Mumma Papa I came to my room and was about to sleep when my phone beeped.

*1 message received*

Unknown number se message iss waqt.
(Message from unknown number, at this time?) I frowned.

*As you've agreed for the terms, I hope you don't have any other problem regarding it.* - The message reads.

Ye kaun hai? Aur terms! Kaise terms bhai?
(Who is this? And terms! What terms bro?)
I was thinking and staring at my phone when another message arrived.

*And if you have, You can tell me without hesitation. I'll consider it for sure.* - The message reads.

"What terms? What are you talking about? Do I know this ?" I replied

The reply came after some seconds.

*Obviously yes, we just discussed this in morning, how did you forget this soon?*

When the hell did I discussed someone about any terms that too this morning?

Ah! I think someone might have sent it to me by mistake.

But wait....agar ye Sejal Ka koi prank hua to. Usne pehle bhi to kiya hai aisa, aur jaise ye terms aur discussion ki bat ho rahi hai, ye pakka wahi hai. Usi ki aisi fantasies hai secretive messages aur calls Ka prank Karne ki. Wahi hai pakka.
(But wait what if it's another prank of Sejal. She did this earlier too, and the way it's talking about some discussion and terms it must be her. She has these kind of fantasies of doing secretive message call pranks. It must be her like the last time.)

Beta Sejal, ab tu dekh Diksha Shrivastaw kya chiz hai. Bahot prank karne ka shauk hai na, dekh ab kaise tera plan tere pe ulta padega. I smirked evilly.
(Ohh Sejal, now you see what kind of person is Diksha Shrivastaw. You're very much interested in doing pranks right! Now you'll see how your own plan backfires. Evil smirk.)

*Ping : 1 new message received*

*Hello! you there ?* - The message reads.

Haan bilkul yahi hoon. Oh God it's so funny. (Of course I'm here. Oh God it's so funny.)

"Yeah, I'm here, actually I was in washroom when you texted." I replied lying on the bed.

*Ohh...*

"Yeah so what were you saying?" I replied

*I was saying, I hope you don't have any problem regarding this besides I will ask my assistant to send you the papers by tomorrow evening. Is that okay with you ?* - The message reads.

Ohh! Assistant and all haan...badi badi baatein kar rahi taki mujhe doubt na ho, but main bhi teri hi friend hoon; iss bar tere pranks me nahi fansne wali. (Ohh!  Assistant and all...big talks so that I don't doubt, but I'm also YOUR friend, I will not fall in your trap this time.)

I decided to reply something unexpected. With an evil grin I typed.
"Hey, can we talk over call?"
