That evening, unable to shake the thought, she typed him an email.

Ruhi’s Uncle,

Just curious to know how’s your ex-best friend, Shagufta Khanna, doing these days? Thought I saw her at a store today. Any reason she’d be here?

Ruhi’s Confused Aunt,

Aanya.

She knew Reyansh would be asleep when the email landed. Still, an hour later, his reply came.

Aanya,

I haven’t seen Shagufta since I terminated all my business with hers. There’s no reason for her to be in California. But I’ll ask Sunny to look into it. She’s no threat. You have my word.

Reyansh.

It didn’t ease her completely. Aanya knew Shagufta had a wounded ego and hurt women often came back sharp and unpredictable. Still, Reyansh knew her better.

Day 160

Ruhi’s Aunt,

Nani is flying to California in two days. She’ll stay with Di for a month. Want anything from India? No luggage limits. She’s on my private jet. Ask for whatever you want.

Ruhi’s Uncle.

******************

Ruhi’s Uncle,

That’s very generous. I’ll send you a list soon. And I get why Nani’s coming. It’s hard to stay away from a grandchild.

P.S. I’m a little nervous to face her again. Hope she won’t mind me spending more time with Di and Jeeju while she’s around.

Ruhi’s Aunt.

*****************

Ruhi’s Uncomfortable Aunt,

Don’t be ridiculous. Nani knows what you’ve done for Di. She’s started seeing your goodness. She won’t mind.But there’s one thing. With the way you are around Ruhi, what if Nani wishes to see her grandson’s baby next?

Ruhi’s Considerate Uncle,

Reyansh.

********************

Ruhi’s Uncle,

Babies don’t happen in long-distance marriages. And definitely not just by coming in each other’s dreams. LOL

Ruhi’s Intelligent Aunt,

Aanya.
