Few years later:
It was a fine Sunday evening.
Everyone other than Suhani and Sharad seated in the hall and where having tea. Suhani was at orphanage and Shard had gone to pick her.
Adi and Gauri came there with their daughter.
Everyone was happy and hugged them.
Adi: Isn’t Chottu back yet?
Bh: Not yet, but will be back soon, Sharad went to call her.
Yuvani: Maama, why are you calling Mumma “Chottu”? And,
But before she could finish, Adi cuts in,
Adi: So you have got a problem there, huh? And you don’t have problem in your Papa calling your Chachu Chottu.
She angrily beats him,
Adi: What? Why did you beat me, just like your mother!
Yuvani: (angrily) Why did you cut me off, I was about to say that. Chachu and Mumma, both arenot small, then why are they being called Chottu?
Elders laugh hearing her.
Prat: That, beta, they were small a while ago,
Yuvan: But they are not small now,
Aagney: Yeah, Papa is not Chottu!
Prat: (sighs and then smiles at her grandchildren) Ok, then you say who is Chottu now.
Golu: Yuvan.
Siya: Yes, from now we will call Yuvan Chottu.
Yuvan excitedly calls him that and he go irritated.
Yuvan: No, I am not Chottu, don’t call me that.
Yuvani: But you are the youngest.
Varsh: And now, you will always be called that.
All kids call him Chottu, to irritate him.
He went to Bhavna.
Yuvan: Mausi, tell them to stop calling me that, I hate it.
Bh: Why? Don’t you like being calling so?
Yuvan: (angrily) NO!
Bh: Why, isn’t a good nick name? Your Mumma was called the same, it is nice.
Yuvan: (excitedly) Wow, then I am ok! You can call me Chottu.
Yuvi: See him, when his Mumma was mentioned, he agreed immediately. (Sighs) My son is also taken away!
Suh: (walking in) I know that your this stupid jealousy will never go away, and that you will never stop saying this, but trust me, everyone here is bored of hearing your this foolish line! Literally fed up!
Yuvi: What wrong did I say? You,
Elders other than YuvAni: (cutting in) have stolen everyone from me and at last my son too.
Suh: (laughing) See, I told you.
Yuvi fumes at her.
Yuvani: Mumma, why are you teasing Papa?
Suh: What? I teased your Papa? It was your Chachu, Mausi, Maama, and all who teased him, not me.
Yuvi; See, only my daughter loves me, no one else.
Suh: Yeah right, ONLY your daughter loves you!
Yuvi was about to retort, but then YuvAni saw Yuvan and Yuvani fighting for something and went to them and pulled them apart.
Bh: These two, are just like you both, always fighting!
Anuj: No Bhabhi, they both are a bit better, at least we can control them, but Bhaiya and Bhabhi are uncontrollable.
Everyone laugh and YuvAni held Anuj’s ears.
Anuj: Ouch. Bhaiya, Bhabhi, leave me, it is paining.
Suh: It should.
Kids laugh seeing Anuj struggling.
Anuj: Bhaiya please, please leave me, am I not your brother?
Yuvi: Sentiments, huh, that too for you, never!
Anuj: (pleading) Ma…..
Prat: (sighs) Oh God, I can control my grandchildren, but you lot….
Gauri: Ma, they will remain the same.
Prat: Exactly, I think kids might stop fighting as they grow up, but you lot,
Suh: Are not going to stop this till the end.
Everyone laugh.
