Arya thought,’Oh! No. Coffee will be bad here. Let me decline in a humble way.’ He spoke up,” No ma. I just know had in home.”
Sridhar who had already gone to kitchen to add water to milk now retreated back without doing so. He thought,” There is no need to do it now. Thank God! I am short of money to get another packet of milk.”
He then came back to hall and sat with them. He asked,” So, What’s up?”
Adhira saw Arya and spoke up,” Pa, I came here to take my book.”
“Book? What book?”
Arya spoke up,” Dad, She has one more exam in college and that subject is here. So we came to collect it.”
“Oh! So, is she going to give that exam?”
“Yes.”
Dhivya smiled seeing both of them and was happy as Arya was supporting her. Dhivya was ill but yet she was doing all chores without informing others. She started feeling dizzy but managed somehow to stand. Adhira spoke up seeing Dhivya,”Mom. Are you okay?”
Dhivya smiled and said,” Yes dear. Let me check your room to see if there is any of your book.”
“No mom. I will look into it. You come and sit here.”
Sridhar looked at her so she went and sat next to him. Adhira went to her room in search of book but found her siblings book all over. She screamed from the room, “Ma, Are they using this room?”
