Maya went to her home and her mom saw her coming. Maya looked at her mom and while opening the gate she asked,” Did the current come or not?”

Her mom nodded her head and signaled her to stay there. Maya however came near the front door and asked,” What now, ma?”

Her mom had gone to kitchen so she shouted, “Wait a minute” and came out with some money in her hand. She gave it to her and asked her to buy some ginger and coriander leaves. Maya took that from her hands and went to the shop. After a few minutes she came and handed it to her mom. She added,” You could have asked Shiva to get this. Why are you making me to walk two times or even you could have called me right?”

“Shiva and your dad are doing Pooja. That is the reason I asked you to go. What is the need for you to show face for doing such a thing? Anyway you don’t do any household chores. Is it such a big harm to ask you to get these?”

“Oh God! You started again in the early morning. Mom, I am tired. Let’s save this for later, please.”

“Don’t think that you are smart. Go refresh yourself and join them in Pooja.”
