The whole family were sitting for breakfast and Aashi was animatedly narrating something to her father when Anjali said: "Chote, won't you be going to office...? You haven't been to office since you have returned from US."
Before Arnav could answer Aashi said: "Papa, why does this lady always speak in between...? Can't she see I am talking about my favourite comic character..?"
Anjali in a very loving way: "Aashi beta, why do you always call me that lady... I am your bua, call me bua just like Palak does."
Aashi looked at her as if scanning her and then asked to Arnav: "Is she Boa, Papa..?"
Nani: "Bitiya, she is your Papa's sister and hence your bua."
Aashi: "Okay then, I will call her Boa..."
Anjali: "Beta, it is buuuaa... not boa."
Aashi: "No, I will call you boa..." turning to Palak "You know Palak, Mumma once took me to zoo, there was a snake and that was a Boa Constrictor... it was beautiful but very boring and most importantly wicked too... and Papa guess what she too was black just like this boa, I mean just like the saree that Boa is wearing now..." (to Anjali) "...I had liked the snake, so I will call you Boa... okay."
Anjali was about to protest but Arnav said: "You can call her anything you like. She won't mind." And Anjali had to smile in spite of being insulted innocently by Aashi.
