The next day I have to wake up earlier cause my husband has to go on a business trip abroad they are pursuing a foreign company to invest in them.
I started my day with a big yawn and came to the balcony of the garden. I can hear some whispers coming from far away. Ahh these little high school kids are now all roaming around all smart.
I sometimes have caught these love birds some times roaming around the alley beside our house. But what are these basterds doing in these hours, also in the garden. I tried to peek a little. That was not any kid! the face I am seeing right now is the doctor friend of Binod , I saw him at Binod's house that day. What is he doing here right now?
A deep curiosity drives me to know who the other one is. I came closer to the tree and the other one was Shephali !
I was just so stunned to speak anything in the situation so as them. Only one thought crossed my mind, what if someone sees them right now! Shephali will be in the most vulnerable situation. Just as I thought my great mother in law was coming out to do the Surya Namaskar, it was her daily routine from the day she arrived in this house. I told the doctor to escape from the back wall of our house and told Shephali to pluck some 'Durba'(the smallest shaped grasses used for worshipping in India).
"Bouma, what is she doing here, At this hour?"
"Ma, she set that minoti mashi told her to bring some durba , for Puja."
"Really but why is she here they could have take it from their own garden."
"Right, Right ".
I was literally trembling thinking what will come next , my heart was beating like crazy.
"Oh , after tomorrow's function their heavy cooking ornaments were still in the garden so how can they pluck Durba."
"Oh ,I see"
Thank God, or else this lady byomkesh may have exposed me right now. while returning I said to her "I don't know what guys gotten yourselves, but as your saviour today and using our house as a part of it , you have to tell me what's the matter".
