"Thank God for Raima" sighed Sneha and started preparing for her upcoming trip to Singapore a fortnight after.
************************************************
After few days,
"Ah, am I glad that I finished the trip early this time, Shona and Naveen would be happy to see me home,Shona would love these chocolates I had picked up from the duty free shops"thought Sneha while getting into the taxi to go home from the International airport.It was 8 already and she hoped she would be home to have dinner with both her loved ones.
Coming out of elevator, as Sneha plugged in her spare key to get into the apartment, she heard lot of giggles and sneaking voices coming from inside....."Wonder who's visiting at this hour".They were not much into socialising and kept much to themselves ...
Opening the door,Sneha saw Saima playing carrom with Naveen and Shona,looked like they all were sharing some joke...."Oh, you are back" Naveen looked up. Suddenly, there was dead silence in the room."Weren't you coming in tomorrow" said Naveen...
"I finished early" said Sneha dryly looking at Saima sitting on the sofa comfortably in her night dress.
"Oh, Hi Sneha,I had made some gajar ka halwa, so I thought I shall share it with Shona.You are always so busy,they probably would never get home cooked delicacies otherwise.I would have offered you some but looks like these both have finished it all. Chalo, I would leave now".She side glanced at Naveen and proceeded to leave.
"Thanks Saima"said Sneha with a lump in her throat and a twinge of guilt in her heart.
"Mama,the halwa was yummy...mmm...how was your trip? Wow,chocolates..thanks Mum"Shona took her chocolates, gave a tight hug to her mother and rushed into her room.
