Vaidehi stood in the corner of the kitchen with her head bowed down. She looked up only to meet the glare of her mother and she quickly looked down again.
"What where you thinking, Miss Vaidehi Aggarwal, when you though it will be nice to mix the batter in mixer!?" Her mother glared at her while cleaning the kitchen.
If looks could kill, she would have been ash by now.
"But ma–"
"No! Not a word! Sanvi and Vansh, come and help me please." Sanvi and Vansh, who were quietly laughing and watching the drama unfold, looked at Raina–Vaidehi's mother in shocked as if she just asked them to give there brain in plate.
Vaidehi, who was still looking down, laughed silently.
"Now, this is the besttest plan one can think of." Vansh mocked looked at Sanvi.
"For your stupid plan and for that stupid Vaidehi, now I have to clean the kitchen!"Vansh groaned at glared at Sanvi ,who looked at Vansh and matched his glare,"At least it was better than that idiotic plan of yours! And its not my plan that flopped, it because of Vaidu di(sister)that my awesome plan was flopped! Don't blame me, blame her!"
"What are you both whispering? Come here and help me, NOW! " Vaidehi's mother said sternly.
Both of them nodded and quickly came to help.
"But why Vaidehi is not helping, Badi ma(aunty)?" Sanvi ask glaring at Vaidehi , who looked down innocently.
"She is not helping because I don't want a walking disaster in my kitchen." Vaidehi's mother said and smacked Vansh, who was trying to make a fake moustache with carrots.
" And you guys are not helping me at all! Come on now do it!" She said while clealing the kitchen counter.
"Aye , Aye captain!" Both Vansh and Sanvi stood in attention and saluted her.

Twenty minutes later, as soon as Vaidehi mother left the kitchen, Vaidehi jumped on the kitchen counter.
She sat on the countertop and instructed Sanvi and Vansh, while munching carrot.
" Yes, yes to your left."
"Move your hands faster! We have a lot of cleaning to do." Vaidehi order while munching carrot.
Vansh and Sanvi, who were trying to clean the everything, stoped and glared at Vaidehi, who in return smiled sheepishly at them.
"You idiot! Your you stupidity we have to do this now!" Vansh said opening a packet of chips and munching on it.
"You guys don't understand how difficult this is from me." Vaidehi looked down and sigh sadly.
"We know Vaidu. But you had to try atleast right? You're giving up just like that. This is not the Vaidehi we know. Our Vaidehi is strong girl, who know how to fight." Vansh understood her inner turmoil and patted her head and offered her some chip.
She took handful of chip and munched them like a chipmunk.
"Both the plans failed. Now what do we do?" Sanvi voiced her concern.
"Vaidu, you have to say this to grandpa. Only he can make thinks right. And most importantly no one will question him. You can't let go of this big opportunity, Vaidu." Vansh looked at Vaidehi seriously.
"But what to do bhai(brother)? I see no way of telling them." Vaidehi sighed sadly.
"This evening, go to grandpa's room with a box of laado(sphere shape sweet) and just tell him. Tell him before he get to know about it through someone else. Because if that happens , then no one will agree for you to go to New York for work." Vansh sighed and said.
"Yes, di(sister) you can do this. We are here. And we will support you after you're done telling that old man about this." Sanvi giggles.
"Now enough of talking go back to work you both!" Vaidehi said faking seriousness and imitated her mother voice.
"Yea, yea, enough of talking. Now my smack will talk with you." A voice said from behind.
Vaidehi looked at Vansh and Sanvi in horror and asked them through eyes,"Is it who I think it is?"
Vansh and Sanvi just nodded in answer and laughed silently, when Vaidehi mother pulled Vaidehi's ear from behind.
"You naughty little chipmunk!"
"Oooch–oouch mamma it hurts."
"No! No more excuses. I told you to sit silently not to go around and order them!" She said and pull her ears again.
"Mamma, its hurting. Leave ,leave.Ouu– I won't do this again"
"You better don't. Now, three of you go and clean your room. Your Rati bua(father's sister) is coming with her family today."
"NO!"
"WHAT?"
"WHY!?"
Vansh dropped the packet of chips that he was holding, Sanvi who was washing dishes almost fell inside the sink in shock and last defiantly not least, Vaidehi , who was standing near her mother, jumped stepped back as if she has seen a ghost.
Vaidehi's mother looked at them with a knowing look.
"Now sho from my precious kitchen. Go clean your rooms." She said and waved at them to go away.
"And Vaidehi?"
Vaidehi who was almost about to run to her room stop and slowly turned to look at her mother.
"Reesha is also coming." She said and gave an extra sweet smile to Vaidehi, who looked like someone just said that this is the last day of Earth.

"She is a freaking imposter! We have to do somthing." Sanvi said pacing left and right in Vaidehi's room.
"First and foremost, we need to hide Vaidehi's acceptance letter to join LD fashion head branch in New York.She still has not said this to anyone, and if that lizards get to know about any such thing, she will definitely try to do something with that." Vansh looked panic and he quickly took the letter from the table and folded it and shoved it inside his pocket.
Vaidehi who was silently looking at her over dramatic brother and sister with an amused look.
"Why are you guys panicking like she is a dinosaurs?" Vaidehi giggled.
"Huh, she will be, if you are forgetting , last time time when she was her you made her life quite miserable.I mean putting lizard in her make-up bag and all." Sanvi said with a sarcastic smile.
Vaidehi looked down innocently.
"So now you keep quite and let us do this , so that your ass could be saved from that chimpanzee!" Vansh glared at Vaidehi ,who was trying hard to stop her laughter, only to be stopped by a sound of calling bell.
"And the imposter is here!"
