Uncle came in the evening with news he again has to again go out of town due to office work for more than 2 weeks. Auntie was upset. Uncle insisted that Auntie and I should go to my parent's place and stay there for 2 weeks. Auntie agrees. Uncle asked me if it's ok to be absent from college for 2 weeks. Anyways nothing much was going on so I also agreed.
Next day morning uncle auntie and me, we all set for my village. After long journey we reached home. Mom and dad were very pleased to see me and uncle and auntie. Mom and dad both bowed down to uncle's feet since he was eldest among all of us. Ramu and Savita prepared a good lunch for all of us. Ramu and Savita were domestic household help. Both were a married couple and used to live other side of village. Since they were poor, they both used to work in our house. Ramu used to help my dad in agriculture and Savita used to help mom in house chores. They had 2 children back home. They were approximately of my parent's age hence I used to call them Ramu uncle and 'amma'.
By afternoon, after a nap uncle left for the city. I was also having nap. I woke up around 5 pm. I went into veranda. I saw everybody sitting there and having tea. I saw auntie was instructing amma. I overheard something like "that's the first thing you should do tomorrow early morning." Amma nodded. Then Ramu kaka standing there asked,
"bibiji, Do you want me to come tomorrow morning?"
Auntie said, "No thanks I m good." And she looked at mom. Mom said, "Its ok Ramu. You know I don't like it."
Moms welcome me and gave me tea. Ramu kaka and Amma too dispersed. That entire evening went into general talks. Updates about city and village. Dad mentioned me that my childhood friends are also in village. And I should go to meet them. Even I was excited to meet all of my friends. I already declared that I would be out almost entire day.
I woke up around 7 am. I was walking in passage towards bathroom, I saw Amma coming out of my mom dad's bedroom. She had water jug in her hand and even saw shaving razor in other hand. She quickly disappeared into backside of our house. I saw my parent bedroom door was locked. In kitchen, when I was drinking my tea auntie entered room. She was freshly bathed, stood in front of god's and started praying. After prayers she sat with me. Amma poured cup of tea for her.
Auntie asked Amma, "Amma! Is all work done?" Amma nodded yes. Amma was a shy lady. She must have crossed her fifties and had 2 kids. Unlike mom and auntie she was quite stout and dark. She was little fat as well. But her smiling and content face was her asset. Where as Ramu kaka was a stoned man. He was hefty, bulky, tall and dark guy. His face was rough but was totally obedient to my family. Even though crossed his fifty he was quite fit guy.
Dad also arrived into kitchen and sat on table for tea. He asked me ,
"Beta! In the afternoon we are planning to visit our outhouse. Would you be coming with us? I need to check our mango and cashew nuts trees ."
