Matlabi!

As I was lying in the bedroom he comes to me saying "Mumma, main bas aa gaya aapko pyar karne. Bas aa gaya." Exactly how I talk to him when he is not well. My heart was swelling up with happiness and pride but soon it burst like a balloon that has come to contact with a pin as I realised he had come for my hairclip. The hairclip which he uses to hold on the cassette of a video game into its slot ever since he broke it long ago.

After a while when he had left the videogame lying around, I took it to see the game. He immediately came to me saying "No. Aapki tabiyat theek nahi hai na. Aap usko touch mat karo." I pretended to get upset and he goes "Main aapko pyar karta hoon na? Aise gussa nahi hote."

Ok boss! As you say!
