"Oye Siddh tujhe dhol bajana kab se aa gaya ",Mitthu enquired

"Nahi aata to seekh lenge bajana usme konsi badi baat hai ! Itne mote dhol pe do dande hi to maarne hain"

"Acha beta dekh lena tu ! Kal hi teri pol khul jaygi ! Dost to kya wo tujhse baat bhi nahi karegi ! Dekh lio"

"Achaa!! Aisa kuch nahi hoga! Tu bas mujhse jal raha hai!!"

"Mai kyu jalunga tujhse!! Huhhnn!! Mai jaa raha hoon. Akhir mein jab teri pol khulne ke baad tu rota hua ayga tab tujhse baat karne vala mai hi honga!"

"Aree Mitthu sun to sahi!!"

"Mujhe nahi sunni teri! Didi ke daftar jaane ka samay ho gaya hai aur mujhe unka dabba ghar se bus stand tak pahuchana hai! Mai chalta hu!"

"Thik hai!"

At Siddh's home

"Baba! Baba kahan ho! Baba!!Ooo Baapu kahan ho aap! ",Siddh came home running and screaming his father's name.

"Kya hua bhaiya ! Kahe cheekh cheekh ke ghar mein tufan la rahe ho! Aur aaj bapu se baba pe kyu aa gaye! Kya baat hai! Bataiyo kya hua !" Sia said making an annoyed face while she was coloring the mud diyas that she recently made.

"Yar chhutki tu  chup reh !Babaa kaha ho baba! Baba mohe dhol sikha do!"

"He raam! Bhaiya aur dhol !!! Ye kaise ho gaya!! Waise baba nahi aane vale aaj ! Bhool jao dhol seekhne ke sapne!"

"Kyaaaaaaaa" Siddh spoke ,with a frown on his face.

"Haan! Baba ko chachaji ki dukan ka kuch kaam aa gaya hai, to wo to gaye hain sheher! Kal tak aynge subah !"

"Aree yaarrr ab mai dhol kaise seekhu? Wo Sana to kal aa jaygi nadi kinare!!"

"Ooooo bhaiya ye Sana kon hai?"

"Sanaa wo ... waise mai tujhe kyu batau?"

"Theek hai mat bata ! Mai to soch rahi thi tujhe dhol sikha dungi. Par chhod tujhe nahi seekhna to--"

"Aree nahi nahi devi maiyya ! Ham aapke abhaari hai ! Dhanyawad hame dhol sikhane ka sochne k liye.. Sana na meri dost hai! Bahut acha nritya karti hai ! Ek dam pari lagti hai !"

"Achawww!! Fir to mai bhi milungi is Sana se"

"Haan haan milwa dunga! Par usse pehle mujhe dhol sikha!"

"Theek hai bhaiya..Lekin ek dikkat hai..Dhol ki dandiyaan kho gayi hai. Wo kon layga?"

"Aree mai bana dunga dandiyaan. Ped ki lakdi tod ke laate hain use chheel dete hai."

A few hours later

"Yayyy!!!Ban gayi dandiyaan re baba"

"Oo bhaiya zyada naacho mat..Amma nahi jaane degi tumko abhi nadi kinare.Shaam ho gayi hai waise bhi aur wahan par bhalu bhi aate hai!"

"Heheheheee tu bhaluon se dar gayi! Waise to bada jhansi ki rani banti hai!"

"Haan haan! Yad hai parso baba ke sath jab ham tehelne gaye the to awaaze sun ke KISNE apni PANT GEELIIIIII kari thi!"

"Chal chal paka mat.Sone chal kal subah aate hain 4 baje! Wo Sana 6 baje  aa jaygi "

At Sana's home

"Mujhe to pakka pata hai ye siddh jhooth bol raha hai..Ye aankh mein dekh ke baat nahi kar raha tha. Chhodo mai dekhti hoon kal subah jaake..Usi ka dhol banaungi bada maza ayga!!!"Sana clapped her hands and squealed, and began learning tables from the second-hand book she had seized from a raddi-wala's store..

"4 twos are 8...4 threes are 12...4 fours are 16...4 fives are----"

"Ayee ladki !Apna ye sab band kar aur jhaadoo laga ghar mein! Ladki hai ladkio wale kaam kar samjhi! Aur apne bhai ke liye khaana bana jaake! Ye naukrani pata nahi kahan mar gayi ! Hamara pyara sa nanha pota bhookha hai ! Koi matlab nahi hai usse! ", barked Ajeet Upreti, the so-called HEAD of the family, Sana, Arjun, Deeya 's grandfather and Ajinkya Upreti' s father. 

Sana nodded her head obeying, and rushed to the kitchen to avoid getting whacked by her grandfather.. 

"Ahhh ahhh ahhh!!" Sana screeched painfully as sliced her hand with the knife she was using to cut the vegetables.

"Aee ladki tujhe kuch karna nahi aata! Teri shaadi karwa denge tab hi sahi rahegi tu!! Tune kuch banaya bhi hai ki keval khoon se ganda kia hai rasoi ko?" 

"Bb..ba..banaya hai na Baba! R..roti aur chhaas",she stammered and shivered.

"Bichara mera pota! Aaj khali yahi khaana padega..Ja deke aa use!"

"Agar aapko itna hi hai to aap unse khud kyu nahi banwa lete baba? Wo to mujhse bade hain na!!?"

"Zaban chalaygi?? Mujhse zaban chalaygi tu?? Teri itni himmat??"screamed Ajeet Upreti slapping the little girl with each line he spoke.

"Ja nahi khaana tera banaya hua khaana..Bahar se mangwa lunga apne aur apne pote ke liye!" saying this he jerked the plate off the kitchen slab and stormed out of the room and the rotis were scattered all over the floor.

The terrified little girl picked up the rotis with her trembling hands and cleaned them using her frock. She took her Amma's old chunni, washed her bleeding hand and wrapped that chunni around it. She ate the rotis, drank the buttermilk and ran to her Amma's room and shut the door tight.

"Amma! Kya mai itni buri hoon Amma? Koi mujhse pyar nahi karta Amma..koi bhi nahi.." she whispered, clutching her mother's dress tightly, looking up at the night sky.
