Chapter 21 - Pickle Season

Both Shefali and Sara were sitting on the stairs outside the quarter.

Sara said while giving Kairi to Shefali, "take it today because of this we were going to get into trouble I was refusing but you had to go to the garden"

Shefali again gave the Kairi to Sara she told," eat it this is the last Kairi of this garden after we will never get it"

Sara took the Kairi from Shefali's hand with a jerk and started eating it. Dong Hyun holding a football in hand comes outside to Sara and Shefali looking at them, "how do you both eat it, it is still raw and is very sour"

Sara told while eating another bite, "You can't eat because you are not Indian, and secondly, you are boys, only Indian girls can eat Kairi, do you know in summer days? whatever may or may not be there in an Indian house but everything is made from raw mangoes will be found"

Shefali smiled and said especially mango pickle is available in every Indian home, that's why we call it pickle season, not summer season"

Dong Hyun chuckled, "really pickle season"

"You know that most Indian moms are experts at making mango pickles, Sara said"

Dong Hyun said while playing football," so this is the speciality of the Indian summer season"

"Many other specialities but mango pickles are the main things to be made in every household," Shefali said, she got up from her place and went to Dong Hyun and pointed towards the football," give it to me"

"Do you like football? Dong Hyun asked

" Yes, very much"

Dong Hyun gives the football to Shefali and sits next to Sara, Shefali bows down and thanks, Dong Hyun.

Sara pointed Kairi to Dong Hyun and said, "you try it"

"I don't think I can eat it"

"Once try it you will like it"

Dong Hyun taking a bite, "Ah that's too sour"

Sara said happily "but you liked"

"not, at all"

"ok then give it to me," Sara said while quickly taking the Kairi from Dong Hyun's hand"

Shefali was playing football in the playground in front of Dong Hyun and Sara.

Dong Hyun said "I want to know one thing"

Sara looked at Dong Hyun, "what do you want to know?"

"Why do you and Shefali always bow down and when you both say thank you, this is done in Korea, when someone has to give respect or say thank you"

"Let me tell you, it is a matter of about two years ago that your mother i.e. Seo Yeon ma'am was very sad one day when I and Shefali tried to know the reason for her unhappiness, then we come to know that she was missing her child i.e. you, her home and her country very much"

Dong Hyun was surprised, "did she remember me too?"

"Yes, she misses you the most and always shares your childhood memories with us, then I and Shefali decided that we will try to keep both ma'am happy as much as possible and when we both use Korean words or thank them in Korean style then she becomes very happy and my mom always talks to her in the Korean language"

Dong Hyun got a little bit sad," I can't believe my mom used to remember me when I was 12 years old she forcibly sent me from here to Korea, I didn't want to leave her"

"Trust me I am not lying, maybe she sent you for some reason, Sara said"

"Leave this thing tell me how you and your mom know how to speak Korean?

Sadness falls on Sara's face, and she gets lost in thoughts, Dong Hyun grabbed Sara's shoulder and shook her hard, " hey where are you lost? answer me"

Sara glanced at Dong Hyun, she sighed, she was still sad, "there is a long story behind this too"

"Tell me I have a lot of time to listen to your story," Dong Hyun said.
