Neighbour Next Door

1) Mr. New Neighbour

Delhi is hot, very hot in summers. Well this city is a curse for everyday workers, students as well as employees

Imagine getting soaked in your own sweat at 37° C. It's only April end, June July will be more horrible. But can we do something?
Absolutely nothing

So she settles down on the side and taking out her phone. Before she could open WhatsApp and check the message, a call appeared.

"Good Morning sweetheart"

"Good Morning dad." she answers with a small smile

"Where are you, so much noise around?"

"It's Saturday dad."

"Accha haan, okay. Take care. And give the chocolates okay? Bhul toh nahi gyi na"

"No dad, and for god's sake I'm 24, not 4."

"yeah you're my 24 year old baby who doesn't wakes up even with 20 alarms, skips her meals because she has a bad memory,  can trip on stairs anytime and reaches college just before the door is about to get closed" she smiled cheekily.

He knows her too well

"You called me careless and clumsy." she pretends to be angry

"because you are. Nobody can disagree '' she can't win, she huffs

"I will win next time.'' he chuckles at the other end

"Sure." there was humour for sure

"Accha I'll talk to you tomorrow aaram se." she says noticing the time

"Sure, take care baccha. "

"love you dad." she cuts the call and stands up looking for an auto. She walks a few distance and then hails an auto to her destination.

"madam change?" ugh, why did she have to handle a 100 rupee note for a rs45 ride.

'bhaiya vo note wapas karna ' she took the 50rs note next and gave him saying to keep the change.

She rushed inside the building entering the first floor hurriedly and smiling at the faces.

"Good Morning my dear." the lady smiles

"Good Morning Mrs. Bhatt, I hope I'm not late '' she shook her head and motions her towards the class

She walks inside keeping her sling bag aside and waves happily at the little sunshines of her life.

'so, what did we study in the last class?'

'p-a-a-ro-tt'

'correct, parrot. And what does the parrot eats?'

'f-fire.'

'no baby, parrot eats chillies. Chilly. Okay?' they nod and she continues teaching names of some other birds now.

After 40 mins, the class ends. She opens her bag and takes out the box of chocolates she brought for them

"who wants chocolate?" many yells of 'me' 'me' came and she walked over giving each of them a bar. Lastly she walks to last bench where a little guy was sitting staring at the chocolate

'hi baby' he waves shyly

'chocolate?' he nods

'there you go.' his eyes shine when he holds the chocolate.

She turns around but he holds her pinky finger. She looks at him waiting for him to say something

't-thanw phu.' her heart almost melts
