अहो ! मलाई पनि प्यारो मित्र नाज आफ्नो बनबास पूरा गरी फेरि साझामा फर्केको देख्न पाएकोमा औधी खुशी लागेको छ । म चाँही हिजोआज अर्ध-भूमिगत जस्तै भएको छु । के गर्नु जीन्दगीको गाडी गुडाउदै गर्दा बाटोमा पहिले अर्धाङिनी अनि लालाबाला पनि बटुले पछि अलि अलि समय त उनीहरुलाई पनि दिनै पर्‍यो ।

अहिले चाँही साझामा तीक्ष्ण बुद्धी भएका भुराभुरीहरुलाई झक्झकाउन आएको । लौ त अब मित्रसँग बात मार्दै गरुँला अहिले चाँही बूढीले पकाएको भात मार्ने बेला भयो ।

भन्न खोज्या हाम्रो नाश दाई चै डम्व्यास , बागे दाई ??
