Amma and her peacock blue sari (Beast called father contd 2)

"Did you do the maths assignment?" Biplob asked Prakash who was sitting beside him in the school bus, chewing on a packet of salted peanuts.  "Yes i did 8 of them, Appa did the rest." he laughed. "Ohh.."  Biplob looked out of the window as the bus stopped at a traffic signal. A Maruti Esteem stopped near the bus.  Biplob looked with disbelief his face stuck to the window, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was their car.  H e saw his father in the back seat of their black Maruti Esteem with a woman. She looked pretty, her face was glowing, she was thinner than amma.
