Guess-My-Age Game

(Scene: House is looking neat and clean. All dressed up. Tea is being served with other accessories. I am in my pink dress with dupata on my head. Three ladies are searching some thing on my face. Yes it's my postmortem).

Lady with kid: What is your name?

I told her.

Lady without kid: When did you complete your M.A.?

Oho she's is going to guess my age. I am not at all conscious about my age. But I always enjoy this Guess-My-Age Game. So I was on my marks.

Me: two or three years before (em' clever naa)
Lady without kid (to mom): How many kids do you have auntie? And what's their age difference?

(Mom replied breifly)

Lady without kid: And this kid? (she pointed towards Hassaan who was hiding behind me)
Mom: He is my elder's daughter's son. She has a daughter too.
Lady without kid: How old the daughter is?

(Mom gave me a guessing look...)

Me: She is 4 years elder than he.
Lady without kid: Fine fine.

(It seems she could not reach to the conclusion).

Lady without kid (to me): So you stay at home all the time after your Masters?
Me: No, I am doing a job.

(I complaint mom in eyes why she didn't tell them).

Lady with kid: Job? (shockingly) where?

I told her.

Lady without kid: where is your office? And what you do there?

I told her address and nature of my work which I am sure flied over her head. But I wanted to say that I am peon there. But I am scared of mom.

Lady without kid: What is your date of birth? (Guess-my-age Game is still going on :) )

Me: 9th July (hahaha she was expert enough to hide her irritation).
Lady without kid: wow you are cancerian too. My elder bhabhi is also cancerian. She (pointed to the lady with kid) and me were also born in July.

I should do some bhangra on this great news.

Lady without kid: What is your year of birth. (she's lost and I won the Guess-My-Age Game)
Me: 82
Lady without kid: Mine is 83. (she told passionately)

I smiled. She didn't notice that it was a dirty smile :)

Lady without kid: I am going to celebrate my 7th wedding aniversary. (replied with same passion)

Bhangraaaa.........but managed with smile.

Task is over.

Lady without kid:we should move now.

And they left. Have I mentioned before that I got really irritant with the extra ordinary beauty of Lady without kid. Her bhabhi was also very pretty. Another important point, their mother did not ask a single question. She did not participate in discussion in my presence. I have to buried my wish to hear her voice.

On that day I was little bit irritated but next day granny and I enjoyed this postmortem alot. Granny told me that some people like these came to see her aunt once. The sister of the boy was same like her. When abba gee asked auntie about her consent, she replied: "baqi tu sab teek hai par woh behan bari kalakaar thi". hahahaha I chose the name 'Kalakaar' for the Lady without kid.

Note: I might delete this post in future. ;p
