"Noor.." Minal screamed.

Noor looked shocked at Minal. Others too were shocked.

"Yeh chhot kaisi lagi tujhe.." She said pointing at her bruised arm. Noor had lifted her sleeve to hold the box when the bruise came to view.

"Arey..  Pata nahin Appi.. Kahin lag gayi hogi.." she answered casually.

"Kahin lag gayi hongi.. Chhoti bacchi hain tu. Tu khud doctor hain aur issko nazar andaaz kar rahi hain.." Mahaa started scolding like the elder sister she was.

"Appi..."

"Idhar aaa aur beth.."Mahaa ordered. Minal bought the first aid kit.

"Appi main.." Both the sisters looked at her with a sharp gaze.

"Aati hoon.." Noor answered softly.

She sat on the bed and Minal did the dressing flinching herself while Noor was all fine. Noor smiled looking at the sisters.

"Bhai, kyun na aaj aapke haath ka khana ho jaye.."

Shaharyar looked at him baffled.

"Kya hua, ese kya dekh rahe ho, khane banane ko bola hain.. Jung ladne ko thodi.. "

"Nahin woh.. Woh bohat din hogaye na itne saare logon ke liye khaana banaye.. Issliye thoda.."

"Ab jo bhi ho, khaana to tu hi banaega aaj.. Haina Appi.." Minal said.

"Bilkul, samajh le ye teri punishment hain.." Mahaa answered.

"Accha thik hain.. Chal main teri madad karti hoon.." Shaharyar's mother stood up.

"Arre Ammi, aap bethe na.. Woh bana lega.."

"Par woh keh raha hain na, main bas thodi madad kar dungi.."

"Humein pata hain aapki thodi madad kitni hogi.." Mahaa said.

"Aur Noor hain na.. Woh madad kar degi bhai ki.. Aakhir woh beti hain iss char ki.. Kyun Ammi?"

"Arre Noor kyun.. Yeh Shaharyar ki punishment hain.." Shaharyar's father said.

"Dekhe agar main banaunga, toh mujhe ek helper chahiye. Noor bhi help karegi.."

"Arre... "

"Bas.. Thik hain.. Maami aap bethe.. Main madad kar dungi inki.." Noor shouted making all quiet.

"Ab chale.." Noor said to Shaharyar.

"Kahan??" Shaharyar asked.

Noor sighed irritated, "Khet main.."

He looked at her surprised.

"Kitchen main aur kahan.."

He nodded hurriedly and stood up and ran behind her. All the others chuckled looking at them.

Shaharyar was frying pakoras in the pan. He was too focused on it to look around.

"Aah.. " Noor winced.

He looked at her in an instant.

"Kya hua?"

"Nahin, kuch nahin, woh tel..." She mumbled and then shook her head in a no.

"Yeh lo.." She forwarded him a bowl of pakora batter. He looked at it in disbelief. Noor was making the batter when oil splatters fell on her hand. Focusing on that she gave too much water in the batter.
