Next day I got a call from Father. He told me that they have organised a dinner at their house, and that Bhairav, Kriya and I were invited. Ever since I was born, this is the first time I have been voluntarily invited to a family event! I didn't know how to feel about that.

I should not think much of it. It's probably because, they want me to take care of Kriya.

Following that call, Radha ma'am called me. She had asked me to go ahead of time, so that I can help in the kitchen. Now that the orders were issued, I have to make sure I follow it.

So I decided to get Kriya ready. "Kriya baby!" I cooed as I picked her up. She smiled and clapped. "Let's meet your mother's family, huh? Radha ma'am, Karthik, kruthi.. right baby?" She stopped smiling, looked at me for a long time before burying herself in the crook of my neck.

She is probably sleepy. I will let her rest on the way. It's peak traffic hour anyways.. with that thought in mind we got ready, me in pink saree and Kriya in the similar coloured frock.

I informed Shyamalamma, who only looked skeptical. "Do you have to go Eesha? Let's just send Kriya if they want!" She suggested. That is a good idea. It is not like I am their family, right? But, Father had personally called, so I can't ignore that.

Indresh dropped us off at Father's place. Kriya, who I expected to sleep on the way, decided to look at vehicles. I smiled at her curiosity. When I entered the place, Radha ma'am, Kruthi and Sneha, Karthik's wife were already seated in the hall. As soon as she noticed me, Radha ma'am she signed me to go closer, which I did.
