\u201cSo how exactly are these aunts related to us?\u201d her 15 year old nephew asked as the train started moving. <\/div>\n
\u201cThey aren\u2019t related us.\u201d She replied looking out the window.<\/div>\n
They were currently on their way to Mumbai to meet a couple of aunts. That is what she told him when it was decided that he would be spending his summer vacation with his aunt. <\/div>\n
\u201cThey are just your friends then?\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cNo. They are my sisters.\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand aunty…\u201d he scratched his head. <\/div>\n
She smiled again. He did not understand the joy of having a pen pal. He was exactly like his father, expecting a certain return value in every single action he takes. <\/div>\n
\u201cI met them one lovely November. Not physically. But that November I met their souls. Oh yes! Their souls… they are my soul sisters…\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cSomething like soul mates?\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cYou can say that. But it\u2019s not exactly like that. Its so simple that you guys complicate it and say that you don\u2019t understand…\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cStop talking in riddles aunty.\u201d <\/div>\n
She started laughing at his frustration. <\/div>\n
\u201cHave you ever come across a complete stranger who turns into the caring big sister you never had in just one long chat conversation? Well that’s who they are for me. they were just random people who happened to have the same interests as me one day and the next day they are the most irritating, nagging big sisters one can get.\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cIrritating and nagging?\u201d <\/div>\n
\u201cOh yeah! They irritate me with so many nick names that I lost track of them. they nag me to eat well, sleep well and stuff that I never follow them making them nag me more.\u201d She smiled as she browsed through the photos in her mobile. <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As she finished narrating the story of how two complete strangers became her best soul sisters they reached Mumbai. <\/div>\n
Two women in their mid forties hugged her as soon as she got off the train. <\/div>\n
\u201cThis is my nephew. He will be staying with me.\u201d she introduced the young boy next to her. <\/div>\n
\u201cDid she tell you who we are?\u201d one of them asked him with a wide smile. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah… You two are the Devil Didis who irritate and nag my aunty…\u201d\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@@@@<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I wanted to write more. But I wanted to keep it short. I know that after reading this two particular females currently staying in Mumbai are going to somehow find a way to hug me to death! \ud83d\ude1b<\/i><\/div>\n
