"You've been fighting since early this morning. If it is a holiday, your Mahabharata starts! I get annoyed by your constant bickering," Mummy said.
"I'm not doing anything. Ojas has been troubling me since this early this morning. He won't let me study or play," Priyanshi grumbled.
"Mummy, didi is hitting me for no reason," Ojas protested.
"You've both been complaining about each other since this morning. This is no good. You have just started a new class. Study now. I don't want to hear any more complaints," Mummy said and went into the kitchen.
Priyanshi and Ojas sat down to study. While sitting there, Ojas was still restless and kept doing mischievous things.
By two o'clock, they'd both had their lunch. Priyanshi was lying on the bed as she was sleepy.
Ojas was expecting that, and as soon as she lay down, he waited for her to fall into a deep sleep. In a short while, she started snoring.
Ojas took advantage of the situation and used a sketch pen to draw a big moustache on her face and silently slipped away after that.
