"Did you not have time to eat? " question came from the other side .
"Time!!" maya smiled ironically
"hmm , I understand"
"No you don't " Maya answered little bit aggressively.
"It's your life which makes you so bitterly bored,  Maya" 
"yeah I know " Maya sighed deeply recollecting the bitter incidents of her unwanted present.
"let's change the topic of discussion" Maya's BFF suggested
"Ok , What  topic? ?"
"Something interesting " Maya can heard the naughty giggles of Bani on the phone
"Like what ?"
"Haha , Something  hot, something sizzling , Something ..."
"Stop Bani" Bani's wild Thoughts cut off by Maya's 'stop'
"What?" Bani  expressed her disappointment
"I'm not in the mood actually Bani , Sorry"
"So , let's create the mood darling "Bani teased her causing her some cute giggles.
"You remember Maya when we were younger we used to watch that hot boy who lived beside your home" Bani smirked to the thoughts ..
"That was long long ago Bani" Maya felt little ashamed but leter added "that's why you keep coming in my home and announced to your mother that your motives were studying.....;-) " they burst out laughing together
"He was too hot !!" Bani smirked
"Oh !! stop Bani " still laughing hard "your thoughts are giving me " Maya restrained herself
"giving you what Maya?? "
now there was a awkward silent between them ...........
"Maya you know you changed "
Bani said with a deep , dark and significant sigh
then start again "You were so bold and full of energy in those days"
"I really really badly miss that Maya , I know she is still under you , all you need to be..."
"No she is eroded" Maya said roughly  "But Maya....."
"Now listen I have to go Maa is Calling me" Maya said in a hurried voice
"All right bye then, take care" Bani sounded a little bit worried about Maya but Maya hang the phone by saying only a single 'bye'

"Coming Maa " Maya literally run over the floor and then steps and then the living room and finally into the targeted room .
" yes " Maya said while  panting heavly
"where were you?" the old lady said with a astringent face
"Maa I was just doing the disses " Maya told the lie with skill
She knows the fact that Maa don't like Bani . She strictly told Maya to avoid that silly girl ( Bani ) .
"Now go and turn the t.v on and give food to tommy " the old lady is good at giving instructions.  Maya guessed from her  father- in- law   Maa get the ' virtuous trait '
Maya take her step and on the t.v for her mother -in - law. while turning the t.v on Maya said in a low voice and not facing her so cold Maa " Maa I gave food to tommy 1 hours ago "
a moment of silence .......
"when you ate for four times then why should the dog can't have the food again ?"  Old hypocritical woman said in a soft but insulting tone . then smiled like she won a battle against a big  side .
Maya felt nothing,  it's her everyday story of a unwanted life .
"do as I say , don't think much either it will be explod "  ...... "your brain" .
" Ok Maa" she stand there for a moment  then the old lady started to change the t.v channel untill it sticks to a news channel  .
"is the youth of today's generation getting too freaky ? " The host of the channel questioned in judgmental voice .
'yeah yeah it's righ , absolutely right  in our era we used to set in rooms and  moms teaches us culinary skills and craft work but today's girls are silly just getting worst and worst "

hearing the comment from a stereotyped woman is not something unique but Maya insteadly recall the memory of the last call with Bani and she laughed hardly .......Unfortunately the old lady took it as her insult......
"why laughing you stupid woman ?"
Maya stopped  her certain laugh and ran towards the living room  but she heard her saying  "Let Kabir come I will show you what is the prize of your smile girl " 

'Kabir' that name always frightened her .
