“How are you? How was your flight? You didn’t call me when you reached home! “ Maa asked.

"Yes Maa, I was about to call you, sorry! See how much I love you from my heart that u yourself called me ! "Trisha said.

Trisha moved from her room to kitchen while talking to her mother-in-law.

Maa asked Trisha if Aditya was near her she said "yes."

Trisha without a word handed her mobile to Adi, who was confused and asked who? 

Trisha made words with her lips, that it was his mother.  'Hello Maa! How are you? How is Papa? 

"Everything is fine beta, Your father is out for grocery Shopping, he will be back in few minutes and everything is fine here, How is everything  there in your office?" Maa answered. 

"Yes maa, Maa, How is papa doing?" 

"He is fine beta, time with Trish just flew away. One month is such a short period for family to live together. I wish both my children come to me" Maa said.

" While I can move my limbs." she added. 

"Don’t  say things like this Maa, you know it’s not very far away, we will be there if you want us to.'  Adi said.

"Ok ok, beta, I understand both of you are working,  ohh!  you guys have taken your breakfast, Right?" Maa replied. 

"No maa, we will have it now!" Adi replied.

"Ok, then you guys enjoy your lunch I will call you in the evening.byee." with thia  a short call from Maa ended.

"Bye maa." they both said together. 

Trisha Smiled and said "See, Maa is soo simple and easy going!
