One evening I was on the roof, eating a mango. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked over my shoulder and found Maithili stood behind me.
She smiled sweetly at me and asked---“You are looking very happy.”
“Why can’t I be happy?” I contracted my brows “I have come to my house. So I am happy.”
She asked---“Seems that you have got news of Abhimanyu.”
I nodded my head---“Yes.” I lied to her purposefully.
---“I have something to ask you.”
I was anticipating that question from a long time, so I nodded my head “Ask.”
She looked towards her feet---“Your brother was asking about the tape. Is that still with you?”
I laughed inside by observing her coy face---“No, it is not with me. It is with him.”
I touched her shoulder---“Why are you worrying about those.”
She smiled painfully at me---“I fear his arrogant nature.”
---“What do you want me to do?”
Her eyes were still at her feet, she was scratching the roof with her toes---“Ask him what does he wants from us?”
I looked the other way and said her---“He is currently out of India. Whenever he will call me I ask him. By the way, you remember what you were told.”
She nodded her head.
I assured her---“Next time he contacts me, I will give him the telephone number of our house. You can directly talk to him.”
A strong sense of courage was flooding in my chest after my Mom assured me.
