On a Monday morning, the member of the Rai family was busy doing their morning routine. The Rai family wakes up early in the morning and begins their day with different activities.

Tamanna was peeling vegetables with her husband, Prem sitting on a chair next to her wife, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. Both were talking about politics currently going on.

"What do you think who will win this time election Tamanna?"

"I don't know Prem Ji, but it's too late, to do rallies. People know what they are and  I don't think these people are going to win."

"Maybe it's late for them but if Tulika doesn't wake up she will be late for her college for sure," Prem said while laughing.

Tamanna rubbed her forehead and murmured slowly," What will I do of this girl?" Before they could even think, a sweet voice interrupts them. They turned a saw their elder daughter walking toward them. Wearing a light blue salwar suit.

"Maa, I have made the roti and halwa, if you cut the vegetables I will cook them, and don't worry I will wake Tullu(Tulika) right now." Saying that she took the chopped vegetables from Tamanna and went to the kitchen.

Tamanna smiles sweetly before starting to talk to Prem.

"I don't know what will I do if my Tulsi is not around me, I will probably not be able to do a single thing, and in frustration, I will pull out my all hair. She is my dearest daughter not only she is beautiful smart and kind. She is my gem, my diamond, and  my best daughter."

"Ohh, don't say that, what if Tulika heard she will be upset?"

"Let her then, that girl will be my headache for her life you see, if my elder daughter is my diamond,  my younger is stone. Don't know how to cook, is always on the phone, hanging out with friends, talking back to adults, and doesn't like to work, a total lazy child she is." Prem laughs and puts his hands on Tamanna's hand.

"She is spoiled by her sister only, she pampers her like a kid."

"Only she? you and mummy Ji spoiled her too. Now she is dancing on our heads and we are letting her do whatever she wants to do." Said while standing up. She started to walk to the kitchen but stopped and turned around and glanced at the wall and then at her husband.

"Prem Ji, you will be late too if you don't go to the bathroom to have a shower right now. " Saying that Tamanna left. Prem heard his wife and ran to his room to get ready.

In another room, a girl was peacefully sleeping, while hugging her pillow. Not caring what was going on. Soon Tulsi entered the room and saw her little sister sleeping like a log. She smiled softly and went to her bed. She slowly rubs her forehead and softly tries to wake up.

"Tullu, baby wake up or you will be late for college."

Tulika opened her eyes looked at her sister and hugged her waist.

"Di, 5 minutes, please?"

Tulsi smiled and nodded. She massages her head for 5 minutes and wakes her up.

"Now wake up I have to pack mine and Dad's tiffin. I will be going okay, don't fall asleep." Saying that Tulsi walks out of the room. Later Tulika woke up and started getting ready for her college.

Outside the house, Two old women were sitting on a chair with a small table beside them and playing snake and ladder.

"Rekha this time I will win, so get ready to lose the sweets"

"Premlata you only win when you cheat otherwise you never win a single game so let's not talk, but where is Tulsi, I hear Tamanna talking about taking my Tulsi's sweets, she is making sweets? which one?"

Premlata smirked and said with a little smugness on her face, "Don't say like you don't know!! In the morning, You are here so of course, she is making Kala Jamun and Rasgullas  for your grandson- Oh I mean family." 

 Rekha laughed and said taunting, " I know I know!!! and I also know this, that you can't eat any of them."

"Oh please my Tulsi can make as many as I want but just because of that stupid doctor I can't eat much"

"Much? You can't eat any, you dumb. You have sugar (Diabetes)"

"So what? I can at least eat a few any day anytime." Both the ladies argue while playing snake and ladder. While talking Premlata tries to cheat in the game.

"Dadi!! No cheating again, Rekha dadi will get mad," Tulsi said while coming toward the old ladies. She was holding a tray and a large container. The tray had two cups of tea and biscuits. While the container had Rasgullas and Kala Jamun.

Premlata glared at Tulsi but seeing her smiling sweetly she sighed and softly said, "Beta Tulsi doesn't help this Rekha, help me I am your grandmother."

Tulsi put the tray and the container on the table and gave the teacup while talking to the ladies.

"Dadi if you are my dadi then Rekha dadi is also my dadi, so you both are my sweet dadi." She said sweetly with a heartwarming smile.

Both the old ladies smile at her sweet words. Rekha then opened the container and saw the sweet, and her smile widened.

"Tulsi beta you made Kala Jamun too, Rishabh will eat all of them, then." Saying that Rekha took a Kala Jamun and ate it.

Premlata smiled widely too and with a little smirk looked at Rekha, and dramatically said," But Rekha Rishabh doesn't like any sweets right, then why will he eat these Kala Jamun"

"Premlata don't you know that Rishabh doesn't eat any kind of sweets except Tulsi's."

"Really?"

"Yes, he loves it, but not only sweet but anything she makes he will eat it."

Tulsi was holding her salwar suit tightly her head was down and her eyes were on her fingers which were playing with her dupatta.  She was nervously standing and listening to both the old ladies' comments which were making her nervous and at the same time excited. She and everyone knew that Rishabh only ate sweets made from her hand, but hearing them talking about Rishabh and her, she made an excuse and walked off from there while blushing. Both the ladies laughed as it was very funny in their eyes to see Tulsi flustered and shy. 

After Tulsi left, a young man, the same age as Tulika came to their house and went where both the old women were talking. He comes and hugs Premlata and talks to her for a few minutes until his eyes drop to Rasgulla and Kala Jamun. Seeing the container he understood that his Tulsi didi made some sweets from his brother and his family, so he quickly opened the container in which Kala Jamun was but before he could even eat one, his grandmother, Rekha pulled his t-shirt as she was sitting on the chair as he was standing near them.

"Keep the sweets back, from where you have picked them up, They're for your brother specially made by Tulsi, you know that your elder brother, Rishabh only eats sweets which are made by Tulsi or he would not eat any sweets," Rekha said strictly.

"I know that but I also want to eat it"

" If you want to eat it go tell Tulsi to make it for you"

"O Rekha why are you scolding my grandson,  he just likes them too, and even if he takes 1 Rishabh will not even know."

Rekha did not listen to Premlata and was still glaring at Rohan. Rohan sighs and puts the container back on the table. Premlata smiled and told Rishabh to go and find Tulsi, she might have made some extra so he could eat it. Rohan smiled hearing that and went inside the house to find Tulsi.

"You see, soon I will make Tulsi my granddaughter-in-law," Rekha said proudly to Premlata.

Premlata rolled her eyes as her best friend had always said something like this for the past few years.

"Yeah, sure, waiting for your move," Premlata said with fake enthusiasm and started to drink some tea.

"And don't try to cheat," Rekha said noticing her fake enthusiasm.
Premlata pout and nods, as they continue to play.
