I bent down and kissed his small hands, saying, ‘Haha … hmm.’
Soon he forgot all about the ice-cream and started pulling me towards his house. All the while, he
kept shouting, ‘Aao na … Maasi aapke liye tayaar ho rahi hai … Aao … Aao.’
He kept pulling me till I entered their house. In no time, I found myself surrounded by Mumma,
Riya and anjali di (mike’s mother). Everybody was laughing at the way mike was dragging me. I
slipped my fingers out of mike’s grip to greet everyone.
Later, we all settled down in the drawing room. Avni’s dad was also back and had joined us.
The questions started—The kind of how-was-your-journey-and-ifeverything-is-fine types. And
answering them all I managed to make my space amid all of them.
Meanwhile, avni too appeared.
The rounds of snacks started, exactly like last time.  (Remember what happened with neil last time when he visited delhi at avni's house)Of all her family, it was her dad whom I
talked to most. He was trying to understand what exactly I did, being a buisnessman. In turn, he
was also explaining what he used to do as an engineer in the Indian Air Force. (Impressive!)
Later on, he brought up the subject of marriage too, indirectly—how and when anjali di got
married  and now it was
Avni’s turn. He also talked about his married daughters’ in-laws, their family and their
professions (though I knew everything in detail).
I wondered what the purpose was. I recalled that ad in which a guy’s would-be father-in-law asks
him, ‘You are going to marry my daughter. But will you be able to support a family?’ To which I
answered, in my mind, ‘I think, in marriage, I will only take your daughter along with me. The rest of
your family, you will have to manage on your own.’
But, jokes apart, I found her dad to be a real sensible and understanding person. I liked his
personality as well.
We all were waiting for Aman (avni’s brother) who was driving back home. Mumma was
getting impatient and kept calling him up, checking how far he was from home.
Little mike was adding to the flavor of our conversation every now and then, making everybody
laugh with his childish pranks. He was on my lap when, suddenly, he reacted to a car’s horn and
rushed to the door. It was Aman. Minutes later, he pulled aman into the drawing room, just like he
had brought me. I shook hands with aman and he joined us.
He seemed to be the most robust person in their entire family, with a wide chest, broad shoulders
and a well-built physique. He was working in some software company in bhuvneshwar and had come back on
holiday. So now, from my job the conversation shifted to his.
We sat in the drawing room for a long time and at around 8.30, we had our dinner.
After our meal, avni took me to the other side of their house to show me the garden, the money
plant and the guava trees which she used to climb sometimes, picking guavas for her mom. Well, I
could have got a little privacy with her but riya and Mumma didn’t leave us alone.
The evening at their home passed quite well. By then I had met the people whom I didn’t see the
last time—her dad, Aman, and cute mike. I was happy that I was going to be part of a nice
family. (And I assume they were happy too!)
By 9.30, I was all set to leave for my hotel.
‘I think I should make a move before I get too late,’ I said to the people around me, but especially
her Dad.
‘Hmm … Yes, you are at a new place. It’s better if you reach your hotel well in time. Aman will
drop you,’ he said looking at Aman, whom mike was punching, the way he had seen his favorite
WWF fighters doing.
After a short while, Aman was starting his car and I was bidding everyone goodbye. Mike kept
shouting, ‘Mujhe bhi jaana hai … Mujhe bhi jaana hai!’ And before he could make a scene, his
mother allowed him to get in the car.
Amid all this, I looked at avni, silently asking her if she too could come. And I think Mumma
noticed my look. Maybe that’s why she told avni, ‘Tu bhi saath mein chali jaa …’
Her dad was probably going to interrupt her, but I changed the topic as soon as I heard her mother
giving her a green signal. In a short while, we were in the back-seat of the car. Mike kept shuffling
places between her and me. In those last minutes of being together, we held hands but didn’t talk
much. Soon we were going to be apart again, for an uncertain amount of time.
We reached Royal a bit too quickly, and it was time to say goodbye.
Aman came out of the car and he took mike’s hand in his. I shook hands with him and gave a kiss
to mike, who asked me when I would come again, and told me that I should not forget to get
chocolates for him.
Now was the turn of my sweetheart,my avni. She stood beside the car. I looked in her eyes. They were
expressing the same feelings which mine were. She came and stood right in front of me. I couldn’t
say anything but smiled sadly. That one moment, she didn’t care about aman's presence but kept
looking into my eyes. Taking mike inside the car, Amam started the vehicle to let his sister know
they were
supposed to get back.
She ignored that too and came closer to me and said, ‘I want to be yours, forever.’
‘You are mine. A little more than forever,’ I said.
And  she placed a kiss on my face and we hugged each other this time without caring about the world around us. I was still in shock that avni kissed me.I was still there like an idol standing Outside hotel.
Then she sat in the car. I kept waving to her till the car turned out of the hotel’s gate.
Back in Mumbai, life got back on the same track. Office, phone calls to her, gym, phone calls to
her, meeting preparation, phone calls to her. But what was different this time was that I had started
relating her voice to her appearance, her body language, her fragrance.
Days passed and our desire to be together kept increasing with each day.
It was Diwali and, in the evening, our entire veranda was shining with the sparkle of diyas and
candles and crackers. With one hand, I was shooting everything happening at my place with my
camera; in the other hand, I was carrying my cell, talking to avni. We were telling each other
about the atmosphere at our respective places.
