Mere liye ye pakdo!
Chalo sabziyan khareedte hain.
Dekho, dadi!
Pehle dad ne Aunt Eve ko chitthi likhi.
Unhone Korea ke liye plane tickets bhi khareede thhe.
Great Aunt Young Ja ne bhi.
Meri behen…
ghar aane vaali thi?
Dadi, kya hua?
Young Ja hamare parivaar mein sabse chhoti thi. Vo muhphat thi,
aur upadravi.
Lekin maen badi behen thi,
uski zimmedari le li aur uska khayaal rakhti thi.
Lekin…ek baar…
maene hamare mata-pita ko bata diya
ki Young Ja chhupkar…
tumhare nana se milti thi.
Unhone usey parivaar se alag kar diya.
Uss samay mujhe laga unhone theek kiya.
Kyonki hamare mata-pita ne uske liye ladka chuna tha
aur uss ladke se uski shaadi honi thi.
Phir vo Bukjeon mein rehti.
Meri behen chali gayi kyonki maene uska vishwas toda.
Uske baad hamara sampark toot gaya.
Aaj tak
maen sochti thi ki Young Ja mujhe bhool gayi hai.
Aapko ab pata hai aisa nahin hai, dadi.
Sach jaanne ke baad,
kya aap unse milna chahengi?
