Chapter 9: Bonding With Family

After getting ready, Sana came downstairs and went straight to the kitchen. Nobody was there not even the maids.

"Lagta hai sab hi so rahe hai. Maa ne kaha tha shaadi ke agle hi din mujhe sabke liye breakfast bana na hoga. I don't know yeh log breakfast mein kya khaate hai aur idhar koi hai bhi nahi jis se main yeh baat puchu. Ek kaam karti hoon, jo mujhe aata hai woh hi bana deti hoon." She said in her mind and started preparing breakfast.

At that time, Rita Ji came to the kitchen and saw Sana preparing breakfast.

"Tu itni zaldi kyu uth gayi? Do din se rest nahi mila tujhe. Aaj bhi reception hai. Thoda rest kar leti." She said being concerned.

"Nahi woh Maa ne kaha tha pehli rasoi hai toh sab ke liye breakfast bana na padhta hai. Isliye socha zaldi uth ke breakfast bana leti hoon." Sana said while pouring flour in a bowl.

"Sirf meetha bana ne se hi kaam chal jaata hai. Aur pehle din hi aake tu itna sab kuch karegi toh mujhe accha lagega kya?"

Sana smiled and said, "It's ok Aunty. Waise bhi mujhe cooking pasand hai."

Rita Ji's smile faded away hearing that.

"Kya pukara tune mujhe?" She asked sternly.

"Aunty.... Kyu kuch galat kaha kya?" Sana asked being confused.

"Bas. Pehle din hi paraya kar diya?"

"Main samjhi nahi....."

Rita Ji suddenly laughed seeing Sana's expression and said, "Arrey Pagli main abhi teri Aunty nahi teri Maa hoon. So don't call me Aunty, warna maar khayegi."

Sana gave a sigh of relief and said smiling, "Aap ne toh dara hi diya tha. Thik hai aaj se main aap ko.... Mummy Ji keh kar bulaungi."

Rita Ji smiled.

After sometime she said, "Aaj iss ghar mein tera pehla din hai. Isliye main tujhe ek baat baata ti hoon. Hum ladkiyon ke liye na asan nahi hota ek family se nikal ke dusri family mein jaana, waha ke logo ko apna na, uss family ko apni family maan lena. Inn sab se hi ek rishta mazboot hota hai but it's not easy. Par yeh ek ladki ki akele ki responsibility nahi hoti. Uske sasural walo ka bhi uss mein equal contribution hona chahiye, unhe uss ladki ko woh comfort dena chahiye jo usse ab tak apni family se mila hai."

She paused for a while and said, "Sana jab maine tujhe pehli baar dekha tha tab maine soch liya tha ki tujhe iss ghar mein Bahu nahi apni Beti bana ke laaungi. Mere liye tujh mein aur Nandu mein koi fark nahi hai. I know tu mujhe abhi suddenly apni Maa ki jagah nahi de sakti lekin main apni taraf se puri koshish karungi ki tujhe iss ghar mein ek Maa ki kami kabhi mehsoos na ho."

Sana's eyes became moist hearing her. All of a sudden she felt an attachment with her.

Sana hugged Rita Ji said, "Paata hai Mummy Ji, main na bachpan se hi pyaar ki bhukhi hoon. Aur maine kabhi socha nahi tha iss ghar mein aate hi mujhe Maa ka pyaar mil jaayega. Jab aap ne mujhe dil se apni Beti maan hi liya hai toh aaj se aap meri dusri Maa hai."

She smiled and kissed Sana's forehead.

Sana again concentrated on cooking. She was happy that finally she got someone in this house who made her feel like this.

"Tu kya paka rahi hai waise?" Rita Ji asked after sometime.

"Mujhe toh paata nahi aap sab breakfast mein kya khaate ho. Isliye maine socha main Luchi aur Aloor Dam bana doon." Sana replied.

Rita Ji couldn't understand.

"Luchi.... What?" She asked.

"Luchi matlab aap logo ke liye Puri aur uske saath main bana rahi hoon...Dam...Dam Aloo... Aisa hi kuch kehte ho sayad aap log."
