Chapter 24

Dadi: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Khusi: "Daa..daadiji..."

Dadi: "Who are you? Why are you here? I don't need any one... Go away from here..."

Khusi: "Dadiji... I am Khusi... Your..."

Dadi: "You are no one to me... I don't need anyone."

Khusi: "Dadiji... don't you remember me? I am Khusi..."

Payal: "Dadiji... I am sorry for yesterday... I shouldn't have shouted at Khusi... I am sorry for my behaviour." Nani looked at her and turned back to the book which she was reading without saying a word. Payal again said: "Dadiji... I am really sorry for what I said; I shouldn't have bad mouthed Khusi and Arnavji... Please forgive me."

Nani looked at her and in a stern voice said: "If you are really sorry for your behaviour then you should apologize to Khusi Bitiya, not me. If she forgives you then I too will forgive you."

Payal: "Dadiji, I have already said sorry to her... she has forgiven me... I know her; she can't stay upset with me for long..."

NK: "Di... she is asleep. We should leave now. Everyone will be worried at home."

Anjali caressing the face of the girl: "NK Bhai; call home and inform them we will be late. I can't leave her in this condition, what if she begins to cry when she wakes up? Auntyji told me last night she cried uncontrollably on not finding me."

NK: "But Di... you can't stay here... What about jiju?"

Anjali: "I understand NK Bhai. You ask HP to give him lunch... Everyone is there at home your jiju will be fine but what about this girl? I can't leave her..."

NK smiled to himself, it is good that his Di is leaving being over protective for that leech Shyam. This will help her when she comes to know the truth of that snake
