Anira came to her bedroom from her drawing room and took her cell phone, she saw the name on her cell phone's screen and a smile appeared on her face , she happily received the call and said , "Hi.. Sonia.. How are you?  Are you missing me?" "Yeah.. Baby . I am missing you  so much that I am coming  to India next week to meet you soon." Sonia responded and her voice was filled with happiness. "Wow.. You are most welcome. I will send you my new address." Anira said to her. " New address?? Since when you shift from Kolkata?" Sonia asked her. "Silly... I texted you three months back that I got a new job in Mumbai because the offer was indeed good   for my carrier .." Anira Said to her. "Yeah. You said that to me. But you also complained that you wanted to go back to Kolkata, because you missed your hometown very much." Sonia said to Anira. Anira said to her, "Yeah at the beginning I did not like Mumbai that much, but now I really started to like this busy city, though I will always love my hometown a lot, but in past six months Mumbai also make a very special place in my heart."  Then Anira said to her again,  "Hey.. But why you are so busy? You did not even call me since then." . Sonia said to Anira, "I am sorry Baby.. Actually I was busy with my grandfather's old house. Dad want to renovate it and since grandfather gifted this house to me , Dad insisted me to take care of that matter. And I found something very special there !! ." then she paused for few seconds and then she said again "So I got busy....I am sorry Anira for not calling you for such a long time. I will explain you everything once I reach you. " "Ok. Apology accepted. Moreover friends do not need to give any explanation. I know you must be busy.... Remember You will be always in my heart as  my best friend and I know you also feel the same for me." Anira said to Sonia. "I know that Baby, I know that you can't be angry on me for a long time and I have a surprise for you , a very mysterious surprise and I also need your help. Sonia said to Anira. "Sonia, you know that I love mystery but I hope it is not any fantasy type of story  any childish fairy tale .. You know I do not believe in those stories. Anira said to Sonia. "I know you do not believe in fantasy stories Anira but this is something unusual trust me,  I will tell you everything once I will reach you in Mumbai.. I hope you will be interested in this." Sonia said to Anira.  Then they continued their chat for more than fifteen minutes and said good bye to each other and  then Sonia cut off the call.  Anira was super happy that after a long time Sonia is actually visiting her, last year Anira went to U.S.A to meet Sonia there. Sonia loves Indian food specially foods made by her sister in law Ria , Ria is an excellent cook but this time surely she would missed it because Anira's brother Arnab is busy with his work schedule and probably they did not get time to visit her next week.  Anira missed Sahana , her one and only niece, Anira loves her to the  moon and back , she loves to spoil her. Sonia also loves Sahana a lot, Anira dialed Sahana's number in her cell phone after few seconds overly excited Sahana picked her call and said,   "Hi.. Bua (means Brother's Sister in Hindi) how are you?"  Anira said to Sahana "I am fine Doll.. Are you free in next week ? If you are free then you can come to my home in Mumbai for an one week vacation.." "Yes. Bua I am free , actually due to COVID-19 situation almost all my classes are conducted via online and I can join that from your home also and next week there is three days vacation so I can come to your home and spent one week with you. It will be a great idea actually." Sahana replied to her aunt. Anira said to her niece that " But you have to convince your parents for this." "Bua..  I will convince Dad but please convince Mom for me.. She will agree if you make the proposal but if I make the proposal, she will reject it." Sahana said to her aunt. "Hey convincing your Dad is not even a task.. You know it very well but convincing your mother is a tough job and you put that burden on my shoulder." Anira said to Sahana in a very serious tone suppressing her  laugh, she knows it very well from the beginning that she has to convince Ria, her sister in law for this, Sahana was too much afraid of her mother, sometimes Anira told Ria that she should be more gentle with Sahana but Ria told her that already Arnab and Anira were spoiling her too much and if she was not behaved strictly with Sahana then she could become a spoil brat. Anira knew that Ria loved Sahana but she was a strict mother for Sahana's good future. "Please Bua.. Help me please..." Sahana pleaded to Anira.  Anira said to Sahana "Ok. Doll I will try to convince Your mother , hand over your phone to your mother, I will talk to her now." Sahana quickly obliged her aunt's direction, she desperately  wanted to go Mumbai, she loved travelling and she was not visited Mumbai yet. Ria took the cell phone and talked to Anira and after twenty minutes Anira was succeeded to convince Ria and Ria finally agreed that Sahana would come to Mumbai in next week but with one condition that she would not neglect her study.  Sahana was super happy when she heard that her mother was agreed with the proposal of her aunt and she could actually went to Mumbai next week, she took back the cell phone from her mother and went to her room and said to her in phone " Thank you Bua ...Thank you very much." Anira said to her "Doll, you are welcome, now get permission from your father." Sahana said to her aunt " Oh.. Bua it is super easy....... I will get the permission from Dad do not worry." "Ok. I will book your flight ticket and send all your details to your email id. Bye doll, take care." Anira said to Sahana. Anira went back to her drawing room, sat on the sofa , pick up the book from the side table and try to concentrate on it again but her mind was slowly drifted to the thought that what mystery Sonia was talking about?? She sensed a very strong excitement in the voice of Sonia when she was talking about the mystery, was it really mysterious  or  was some kind of stupid fantasy story? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
