('Siyavar Ramanchandra ki Jai!!! ' with that the daily pooja was completed in
Malhotra Mansion in Knightsbridge, London as per Deepa's daily routine and she got back to kitchen to get the prasad (offering to god) laddoos served in a plate and started walking towards Daadi (Grandmother) 's room.

Deepa's POV:

'Daadi.... Prashaad' I didn't get a response.

'Daadiiiii'

I called again... But again I didn't get a response...

I knew where she would be...

So I started walking towards the garden area and I could here...

'Check!!!' she said leaning on the easy chair

And my husband the great businessman Mr Samay Malhotra was behaving like a 5 year old who lost his toy 🤣
'Daadi yaar this is not fair... You trapped me again'

While I saw Daadi chuckling...

I slapped my forehead thinking when will these two grow up..

Looking at me Daadi started smiling and got up to take the Aarti (lamp lightened in front of god) and the laddoos..

While my husband was scratching his head for his next move on chessboard.

Daadi lightly slapped his left cheek and asked him to standup...

While Samay ji was eating Laddoo Daadi asked me...

'And where is your Rapunzel??? Still fuming???' she asked giggling...

'Dont ask Daadu... she's still stuck onto the same... She's not eaten anything from last night.. Can you imagine she refused to eat Rajma chawal 🙄🤷 and above all Gulab Jamun!!!
It's her weakness...

'Gulab Jamun was made last night? And why didn't I get a piece' yelled my husband the ever so hungry Samay Hulk Malhotra 🤷

'And why didn't I get to eat it too huhhh?' asked Daadi keeping hand on her waist...

Like Grandmother like Grandchildren 🙄

No wonder my father in law owns a chocolate factory too 🙄 and thank god my husband or his grandmother or my Siyu aren't the CEO of that...

I narrowed my eyebrows towards both and said...

'You Mr Samay Malhotra are on a diet, sweets don't fit into your diet be glad I gave you these laddus. 

And Daadu you have diabetes sweets are banned for you!!! ' I shouted making my eyes bigger and she patted my cheeks softly trying to touch another laddu.

'Dont even think Daadu... The one I gave you is made from jaggery... that too only one ..these are sugar syrup ones.. it's s NO!!! I said and she made a baby face !!!

But I don't melt so easily...

I'm a got damn doctor!! Their health is most important!

'And don't think you both will get laddus daily ok.. After Diwali it's only fruits!!? 2 days more... Enjoy till then' I said frowning 😠

While they both chuckled.

Just then I turned around when Daadi told me...

'If you are this smart, why aren't you letting her go to India Deepa?'

I turned around..while this time Samay supported me...
'Daadu she's a kid!' he argued

'Deepa Samay.. she is a well grown woman! A 21 year old!!!

She can take care of herself!' Daadi tried to explain...

'Daadu ...she wants to go to India... She's lived all her life here... Knightsbridge is home to her...we are home to her Daadu' while telling time and again I had tears in my eyes...

'So you will never let her go then? Why?'
She asked...

'Because she's alone there..it's not safe!'
I argued again...

To which she smiled...
'She want's to go back to India Deepa..she misses home and you guys are going to break her heart for the 3rd time...
First when she was 16... she cleared her school with flying colors

Then she was 18...she topped the board

Now when she's 21!!!... she's topped thr University again!!!

Look at that child's consistency!!!

She has done it all so you guys agree!

And her safety... like really?? Samay you spent 25 years of your life there... it's only since last 13 years we are in London!!! And she's going to Nirjara Nivas...her mom died there Deepa... I know for you Siya is like a daughter...and  for Siya you are her mother figure... she calls you Bhabhi-Ma...
You must understand her sentiment here!!!
You guys call me a hitler right? Now you people are behaving like ones!!!
And I will call Govardhan... He's our trusted caretaker ever since Rajshekhar Ji's times... He's been taking care of that house now for 21 years...Come on kids... let her go...
She's just asking 2 years of her MBA from you folks!
I know it may sound foolish to graduate from London University and go to India for MBA. But look at her happiness too guys... She wants this!
Deepa you quit your full time profession of going to hospital for Siya's sake and are happy with a mere clinic when you can do so much more..
And you Samay ...you don't travel to foreign countries although it's needed because Siyu needs that good night hug from you and Deepa..
So much you guys have done selflessly for her...this time do this!
Let her go!!!'

Daadi said and we both had tears in out eyes...

Siyu is like my baby although she wasn't born out of my womb...I have played her mom since she was 8!!!

It was tough for us!

However Daadi was right..we were clinging to her! But Samay was hellbent...

I cupped his face and told him..
'Look baby... If not today, tomorrow she will be married!!! We have to let her go...'

To which Samay's eyes already started pooling 🥺

I smiled and said... 'She will be fine!'

And he nodded...

Finally we took our steps towards our angry princess...my Rapunzel's room...

I slowly opened the door...

I could see her holding her huge big brown teddy bear and hugging it tightly..
Her reading glasses were on...her big beautiful black eyes were puffy red..her nose was red...she definitely cried a lot.
Above all her Bebo...
I mean her teddy bear had a plaster on its head. 🤦🤣

My little drama queen does it to gain our attention 🤣 or when is genuinely upset!
Today it was both!

I tried taking steps towards her... while she showed her hand and said...

'Bebo... Tell bhabhi maa not to convince me...
I'm not going to eat anything!
Neither the rajma
Nor the gulab jamun nothing!'

While Daadi took a step forward saying...
'Sonaaaa... Enough! Now Shutup and eat... You haven't eaten anything from night! '

'Bebo tell Daadi, Sona doesn't talk to frauds... second that Sona loves Daadi a lot but Sona is angry!'

To which Daadi took a seat next to her on her bed and said...
'Well Bebo.. then tell Sona that her Bhabhi ma didn't drink a drop of water since last night'

That very minute she jumped and came to me...

'Bhabhima... sorry...you didn't eat anything... Shit...I'm sorry.. I'm a jerk.. please eat some' and she brought a spoon near my mouth...

I smiled and fed it to her back...

She had tears in her eyes...

'Sorry Bhabhi-Ma I trouble you so much...'

'No... You don't princess... And I'm sorry...I was being selfish!!! I was too worried for your safety... But now we all understand... There is nothing beyond your happiness...
Sooooooooo...
We have decided...
We will talk to Daddy ji... '

And next minute she squeezed me into a bear hug...

'Love you love you love you sooooo much Bhabhi... please convince dad soon..I want to celebrate Diwali in India this time!!!' and she breaks the bomb 😳

Diwali is in two days!
Which means she wants to leave to India tomorrow???

I looked at her and next thing she shows her flight tickets ...

I was so angry that now I started hitting her with the spoon...

'Ahhh Bhabhi... Sorry... Uhhh... But ...Ahhh I knew Daadu would convince aaahh... You both...aahhh...so Daadu booked aaaaa tickets aaaaa'

And next second I and Samay shot a stare to Daadi who was smiling looking at us...

Finally I sat on bed...

Tired ..

'Ill miss you princess 🥺' I said with eyes full of tears...

But now the biggest task of all!!!

Go!!!Convince the one and only Vishal Malhotra 😁'

While Sona stuffed her mouth with laddoos and we slapped our heads in unison 🤦

***

(On breakfast table)

'No ways ma.. Govardhan uncle is your age..She needs someone if any emergency... Sona is not going to India alone. There is no one there... What if she needs help and for God's sake it's Mumbai! She cannot!' Daddy ji was hellbent when Daadi tried to explain him.

Daadi thought for a minute and told..
'Ok... If there is someone who can reach her in any emergency...then??? Will you let her go? '.

'I don't trust body guards... Remember one of them attacked me for a Ransome! Sona is too precious!' Daddy ji argued...

'Not a body guard... A family... A family of 20+ people!'

And next second we saw Sona's eyes pop out... 😳

She was about to say something...

'You will stay in Nirjara Nivas only! But just 2 roads away there is a family who is my best friend's family and her son is my  son's bestie too!!!'

Next minute Daddyji lifted his head up and asked 'Sehgals???'

To which Daadi smiled and nodded a yes!

'Well.... Janki aunty's family is so reputed and yes..I'll talk to Ram... anyways we were discussing Business last week...I trust Sehgals... Siya will be safe under their observation... Anyways Ram and Gayathri wanted to meet Siya...they were asking about her last time...If it's Sehgals then yes Sona can go'

Next second I saw Siya hug Daddy ji like a little kid... Daddy ji smiled...

While Daadi said...
'Let me dial Janaki .. Siya you pack your bags and Siya was squealing happiness and joy...

I could see her beaming...

But I was feeling sad...I will miss her...a lot

She is our home!..

But she wants to go to her mom now...

Finally feel her mom ❤️

I kissed her forehead...

She smiled..

While Daadi dialled Janaki aunty's number.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
