AT NIGHT:

AT THE DINING TABLE:

(They all were having dinner cherishing the taste of the food, talking, giggling. They were having a full family time with a mother, father, brother, sister, friend, love.. all relations were present there. In short, full family is present there enjoying to their fullest. They were talking, suddenly Cabir remembered something and spoke.)

C: Chachi, pata hai apko hum sabne kal ghumne jane ka plan banaya tha... (He was going to speak further but chachi intervene because she became surprised to know that.)

CHACHI: Kal? Par kal kaise? Nandu, kal ghumne jane ke liye maan gayi? Kal toh... (Nandini immediately stopped chachi from saying further.)

N: Arey chachi, pehle ap cabir bhai ki puri baat toh sunn lo...

CHACHI: Haan, cabir bol? Nandini maan gayi?

C: Nhi chachi, ye maani hi nhi. Humne jab zidd ki toh pehle mana kar rahi thi par fir hamare badi zidd karne ke baad parson ghumne jane ke liye maani hai. (Now, chachi became sad knowing that.)

CHACHI: Acha, tabhi main sochun ki nandu kal jane ke liye kaise maan gayi. Kal ka din toh vo kabhi bhul hi nhi sakti.... kal toh... (Nandini again interrupted her and manik got a doubt.)

N: Chachi, chodiye na.. Ap kyun itna soch rahi ho? Main kal kahin nhi ja rahi, ghar par hi hoon. Hum sab parson jaayenge ghumne. (But, manik was adamant to know it.)

M: Par chachi, kal hai kya?

CHACHI: Kal vo.. nandini ke... (Nandini again intervened and immediately changed the topic and all others understood it.)

N: Arey Mani, chodo na.. Tum bhi kya baaton mein lag gaye... Tum ye khao, gajar ka halwa. Maine khud banaya hai apne haathon se. (Nandini gave it to manik. Manik was going to ask again but cabir immediately asked and with eyes asked manik to wait. Manik understood it. Nandini became happy that finally she succeeded in changing the topic.)

C: Sach doll....?

N: Haan bhai... Khakar batao kaisa bana hai? (She gave it to cabir. He tasted it and it was actually yummy. All tasted it and they all loved it. They all smiled and started the praising session.)

C: Wow doll.. it's delicious.

MU: Sach mein chotti.. Maine isse zyada tasty halwa pehle kabhi nhi khaya hai. Halwa kya, maine itna tasty khana kabhi nhi khaya. Thanku chotti. Thanku chachi. U are the best.

C: Sachi chachi, maza aa gaya khana kha kar aur upar se apne sare hamare favourite dishes banaye hain. Par apko kaise pata chala ki hamein kya pasand hai aur apko punjabi dishes kaise banana aata hai aur vo bhi itna tasty? (Chachi smiled and proudly spoke.)

CHACHI: Arey, tumhare chacha ji south indian hain, par main toh punjabi hi hoon. Toh mujhe ye punjabi dishes banana aata hai aur mujhe south indian bhi banana aata hai. Aur rahi baat tumhare pasand ke khaane ki toh shaam ko jab hum saath baithe the, toh tum logon ne mujhe bataya tha na ki tumhe kya-kya pasand hai, toh maine socha ki aj apne bacchon ki pasand ka hi khana bana loon. (Their eyes got moist seeing chachi doing so much for their happiness. She not only remembered their taste but also prepared the dishes for them.)

MU: Par chachi, apko itna mehnat karne ki kya zarurat thi? I mean apne itna sab kiya hamare liye. (Chachi gave her a fake angry glare and spoke.)
