Finding Longevity

I'm the detective of my family. I specialize in finding missing objects inside the house. While growing up though, I didn't have any professional ethics and I remember harassing V often with my prowess. Now I've grown up and moreover, I don't have much luxury of playing pranks without paying for it. But V used to be generous with her fee - she used to look at me with such pride and awe and wonder that I used to relish finding things for her. Now my two clients - P and Anu - get the work done free. When P looks for something, his firm belief is that either I must have misplaced it somewhere or I should have kept it in the right place, which I didn't. So the onus is of course on me to restore it. As for Anu, she just says, "Aayi, you know I'm not good at finding these things!" and then makes such racket that I'm forced to get it for her at the earliest.

Yesterday Anu lost something again. I made her look for it but she obviously didn't have any luck. Then I got into the act and found it for her and she said, "Aayi, you are one thing I cannot afford to lose!". It was a very clever and sobering compliment at the same time.

P is going for his nephew's wedding. I know people will nag him with questions on our absence but...Rishi is still angry with everybody out there after his chickenpox, I'm just not able to generate any energy and not in a mood to fake it.
