C15 RIHANA ME AND BROTHER HOME

A look on Bhayya face, and I knew he was angry. But, since Rihana was with me, he kept quiet. I introduced Rihana to everybody. She gave the Teddy Bear with chain to Bhayy’s son, Ankit. He was very happy.

Bhayya looked at Bhabhi and said “Our Aarav has grown up now.”

I knew Bhayya was teasing me, but Bhabhi was no less. She looked at Rihana and said,

“Rihana, what is this swelling on your lips?”

I got scared at this question. I was waiting for Rihana’s reply. But, as we had discussed earlier, Rihana gave same reply.

“Bhabhi, some insect bit me last night. See, it looks horrible.”

I thought the topic would end now. But Bhabhi had decided to tease me further. She smiled.

“Looks like the insect was very big. Perhaps, as big as Aarav.”

It was evident that she knew I was the reason behind Rihana’s swollen lips. I tried to gesture Bhabhi to avoid stretching the topic in front of Bhayya atleast, but Bhayya had seen my effort. He laughed,

“You rascal, stop making those gestures at your Bhabhi. We have also been through this age. Your Bhabhi used to have worse swelling on her lips.”

This humorous taunt changed everybody’s mood. Bhabhi blushed,

“Stop talking about your bravery in front of the kids.”

“Stop teasing them now, or else they won’t come here again.”

“No, I will come again.” Rihana said.

We all had our meals together.

“Aarav, we are going to Jaipur for a week to attend a wedding. Take care of Rihana and yourself. When we come back, we will all go out for a holiday.”

We spent some more time at Bhayya’s place. Then we left as Bhayya also had to make arrangements for their travel.

I wanted to spend some more time with Rihana but she had to leave for home. I hugged her and got her an auto-rickshaw. She kept looking at me with longing eyes. She also wanted to spend more time with me, but had received several calls from her home. Neither could she stay more, nor could I hold her back any longer.

The auto started and I also returned to my room.
