.....................Story starts ..................,

In March 1970, At Pune ,

It was a sunny morning with birds chirping all over the area , winds were flowing  soothingly after a sunrise.  A girl with a beautiful smile was walking on the road with the carry bag in her hand.  She looked everywhere around and atmosphere was still same just like two years back . Some people were in rush to go to work , some people were talking , some aunties were making sun dried food items , old ladies were bitching about their daughter in law's , children were making noises , some people were working outside their home , she smiled at the given scenario. She greeted people on her way and also waved a hie from a distance . She reached at her desired place nd saw her Leela Aatya (aunt ) who was busy in cleaning the veranda. She talked with her little less as she was working but she asked her to go inside, she will come after completing her work . So girl entered inside the same old ,wide ,tile roof house which provides her warmth and gives her jitters .

She stepped inside the house , chiming sound of her anklets grabbed someone's attention who was drowned into the books as his final exams of second year are going on . Listening to the familiar sound his mind alerted him but he didn't gave attention to that. 

"Aatya where are you ?" He heard same soft enthusiastic voice almost after a two years , but still he didn't looked at source . Her eyes were roaming inside the house and landed on the desired person in the corner , he knew her gaze is on him but he didn't looked up .

"Nandini" after cleaning her hands with her Pallu Menaka came running to living room, leaving her work behind just to see her favourite person .

"Yes it's me " both of them hugged each other lovingly.

"When did u come back?" Menaka asked her .

"Last night with Shamal Aatya " she informed her .

"So Shamal Taai is here in Pune ...... Ask her to come here, actually tell her that I have warned her to meet me ..... It's been years we have talked with each other " she spoke remembering the old days with her friend.

"I have another plan, why don't u nd Leela Aatya come over there  ..... Aai asked me to invite you both " she said lovingly like a smart girl.

"Aww little girl is grown up now ...... Ohh wait I didn't noticed what r u wearing Nandini ?" She questioned after observing her modern look keenly.

"Aaah Aatya not u please ...... Aai have already scolded me enough nd after one hour of argument she threw me out of the house to deliver these sarees to you " she said dramatically but Menaka rolled her eyes at her . Though Pune is a very much modern city of Maharashtra after independence , still it's known for it's culture and wearing a full length jeans with knee length , half sleeves tight Kurti nd sleeves less jacket over it , it's not Marathi culture. 

"Okay I am leaving u now as u have returned after 2yrs but I will definitely talk with ur mother about this" she said little sternly but caressed her face lovingly.

"Haan haan I know you guys are experts in back bitching " she said teasingly nd Menaka twisted her ear earning groan from her mouth .

"Keep these sarees here and tell me what you will eat " she said hurriedly and went inside the kitchen to check boiling milk on clay stove . Nandini kept sarees on Khot which she brought from her saree store as per her mother's instruction . Menaka nd Leela have bought those sarees for 'Gudi Padawa' festival yesterday only , but kept there for pico fall.

"Umm peanut Laddoo " Nandini screamed from outside after sitting on Khot in the middle of living room . Again her eyes roamed here nd there in search of one person but before she could stare him , she heard the surprising squeal.

"Ohh hooo Vahiniiiii (sister in law) " a boy of her age went near her nd screamed in her ear from behind and she gasped by sudden squeal.

Listening to his brother's endearment for her , his heart started beating fast and his usually calm mind started getting noisy . Her gaze turned to him , to see weather he is angry or not , or any other emotion but he didn't gave any reaction instead he showed that he is engrossed in his study and he is not hearing them .

"Shh stop calling me that I am not ur Vahini and besides that we r in ur house Gopu.... We r not kids " she said slowly and started checking if anyone heard him or not . He always calls her Vahini to tease her since she was seven years old but except from their friends no one knows about this teasing and if anyone will hear him then there will be unnecessary trouble for them .

"Ohh haa sry Vahiniiiii ...... I forgot" he said while ruffling his hair.

"Gopuu" she said sternly.

"Okay Nandini so tell me how was ur exam ?" He asked generally as they both were in 12th but she was studying in  Lonavala nd she was staying at her Shamal Aatya's house . She just came here after giving board papers .

"It was good ..... Tell me about urs ?" She asked the same.

"What do you expect from this dumb person ? ...... I doubt he will pass this board or not " Leela ,his mother answered before him, who just came inside with broom in her hands.

"Leela shut up ..... He will pass this exam I know" Menaka took his side after coming back into living room.  He gave cheeky smile to his 'Mothi Aai' and Leela just shook her head .

"Okay where are my Laddoos ?" She demanded and Menaka looked down .

"Actually they are finished now ..... Last time I saw there were few but now utensil is empty ...... Leela we need to make them again , even Aarav will need them ,he eats them daily ...... U wait here I will bring hot milk nd sugar for u both " she said.

"It's okay Aatya ..... I already have it at home u go nd do ur work " . Nandini said calmly.

"Haa I will also drink it during breakfast with Aarav Dada " Menaka went inside and also called Leela to help her in cooking. They also decided to make peanut laddoo in the evening for kids.

"Vahini did u met Dada?" pointing towards his Dada Gopu said in low tone and his dada too heard it but didn't reacted . Biting her lower lip she nodded no .

"Stop calling me Vahini " they again started their usual fight and meanwhile after listening to this a boy in a corner went outside silently but not before pushing plate of his laddoo near her khot .

"No I won't" he is stubborn.

"U will" she is stubborn too.

"No"

"Please stop calling me that ..... Anyone can hear u ...... And they will assume things, so stop  " .

"Umm okay I will call you Vahini when we r away from families" he can't be serious.

"Please"

"Okay on one condition ...... U have to win against me in bike racing " he smirked and she was surprised that how he knows about her bike riding which she learnt from her cousin brother (Shamal's son) .

"U know?"

"Off course ..... So tell me deal is on?" .

"Okay but no one should get to know about this ...... Only our old group in the evening..... Or else Aai will kill me " he agreed on that .

"Deal ...... If u win I won't call u Vahini nd if don't then u know ...... Okay Vahiniiii?" He again stretched that word and she have feeling that he won't stop troubling her no matter what.

"U stupid" she slapped his shoulder from a distance.

"Okay now you go nd meet Dada ..... I am going for Talim (wrestling training center)" saying this he went out and she stood there numb . She don't know how to talk with him when he never looked at her not even for a second ,since the time she is here .

She turned to go out and then her gaze fell on the plate of laddoo which was near to the khot on which she was sitting . Taking that plate in her hands she smiled wholeheartedly , there were one nd half peanut laddoos in plate . Seeing that half eaten laddo tears welled up in her eyes remembering how he don't like to eat anyone's shared food but she loves to eat his  shared food . She ate his remaining laddo with smile nd tears in her eyes . She left that one laddo untouched in plate and went out to see him .

She saw him standing at the other corner of house , leaning on tree with hands folded on his chest , observing the flock of birds . He was looking different than last time she had saw him , he is wearing same type of kurta nd white dhoti but now he is looking more manly , that  boyishness is missing , his face features are more sharp , chubbiness is gone. His shoulders and chest are broader than before as if he is exercising regularly. His extra calmness and his arrogance is intimidating. She kept looking at him without blinking her eyes , sensing her presence he turned back to look at her .

Her clothes are modern nothing similar to her previous clothing style , she looks more confident and more beautiful than before . Her body is grown up as a gorgeous woman with perfect curves and fats at proper places. His eyes stirred little when he saw her hair are shorter than before, he remembered how he used to love her long black hair. His heart was heavy seeing totally different yet beautiful girl standing in front of him but when he looked keenly he saw her gloomy eyes, very small kumkum tika between her eyebrows and small gold chain around her neck ,  he realised she is still there no one can take out this part of her.

"Manikkk" his heart jumped inside his rib cage when he heard his name in soft , melodies voice almost after 2 yrs. But he broke her heart by going inside the house leaving her there without saying anything. She cried silently and went back to her way. 

With racing heart and raising anger he came inside only to get calmed down by seeing that untouched one laddo in his plate . He smiled knowing that she ate his half eaten laddoo nd he happily ate another one which she left for him .

"Nandiniii" he moaned with glistening eyes and content heart.
