I as usually woke up late in the morning and came out of my room around eleven. My dad's office begin a week prior to summer holidays so he went early morning. I found my mom talking to a tall, fat and somehow elderly uncle in the living room.
"How are you dear?" He asked me.
"Yeah Uncle. I am fine!" I faked a smile and rushed to ask Ruhi about him.
"Ruhi, who is he?" I asked.
"He is a family lawyer Mr.Verma." Ruhi said unwillingly.
"Why is the lawyer here now? Is there any land issues?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Don't be dumb Esha. What job does a family lawyer play in land disputes? Mom called him to apply divorce for you."
What?
"Ruhi don't lie..... Please it's of no jokes!" I went and sat next to Ruhi hoping she is pranking me.
"Esha, I really didn't want to tell you. But mom is
ESHA POIINT OF VIEW• SLIGHTLY MATURE •It was almost evening and I perfectly found a good plan to execute to meet Aadhvik. I went to my mom with a goofy grin on my face."Ma..... I am going to Dua's house. She called me" I went and said."Why all of a sudden to her home?" My mom asked."Ah....It has been too long that I went to see her. So I just thought of going. If you don't like it then fine. It's okay. I thought I would feel better if I go to her home.....since you don't like it. It's fine." I said innocently."Fine, go and come back early" my mom agreed. This is called emotional blackmailing that would only workout with brown parents! I squealed and went inside my room to get ready."Why are you jumping all off a sudden?" Ruhi finally closes her book."I am going to meet Aadhvik. I said mom that
AADHVIK'S POINT OF VIEW• SLIGHTLY MATURE •"I'm decent" she said while I stood still smiling at her. I always made sure to not look at her hair as it was too attractive but when I saw her smile with her wet lips painted pink, my heart melted away.I pulled her closer to remind her about how beautiful she looks, "Wrong." I murmered on her ears, slowly moving her chocolate brown hair back."You are utterly indecent - no one should look this tempting, it's not fair." I said.Her mischievous eyes widened immediately, "Tempting? How?" She askedI sighed shaking my head. "You are so absurd.""Shall I explain how you are tempting me?" I whispered once again moving my fingers down her smooth cheeks to her neck. Her breath increased rapidly and she looked onto my eyes. I could tell that she was as worried as me falling in love. So we carelessly swept
ESHA'S POINT OF VIEWTWO WEEKS LATER"Esha wake up it's too late. This is why I tell you not to go see Aadhvik late night." Ruhi screams through my ear."Shut up Ruhi. You want mom to know all this?" I woke up immediately rubbing by eyes."The whole night you roam with him and in the morning you sleep." Ruhi frowns."It's already nine now it's better if you leave to school. Bye get lost" I pushed her outside the room and shut the door close. I dialed Dua as she is coming back from her mom's home."Dua here." she says with a grin."Woah! Did you reach back? Shall I come to see you?" I asked her."Yeah I came but it's better if you come to Perks restaurant this evening. Even Inaaya is coming. We will meet up there!" Dua chuckles."Fine, I will be there." I said and ended the call.I
I woke up very late today and my mom didn't even bother to wake me up. Ahh! Where is she? I myself woke up, brushed my teeth and was all ready to gobble up the morning breakfast. I went in search of my mom to the kitchen and she wasn't there. Where did she go? I started to panick a bit and I called out for her and still there was no sound from her. I searched all around the home and finally went to the backyard. She was there! My soul got its life back again. I thought something happened to her."Ma....." I went running and find her wearing head sets and talking to someone. She didn't even notice my presense nor my screams calling her name."I will send you the video. I will have to copy it from the pendrive and sent it. Let Esha not know about this." my mom spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.I slowly peeped out and camofalgued myself so that I can fit myself somehwhere to do Sherlock Holmes job.
AADHIRA'S POINT OF VIEWI never wanted Esha to know any of these things but she already knew too much and nothing will stop her from knowing things further. She was so determined to know things, even if I don't tell her, she will come to know and I cannot let her offend my mother at any point. Sakshi Ma wasn't and never will be addressed as my step mother."Shakshi Ma. The most loved person in my life." I began telling her,"She wasn't my step mother. She was just like my mother. My mom died immediately after my birth due to blood cancer. It was Shakshi Ma who took care of me since the day I remember. She was my mom's best friend and eventually married my dad for the purpose to take care of me when I was just a year old.After two years Aadhvik was born into the family. My dad, Shakshi Ma and me everyone was happy and cherished his arrival into our family. He too was the most loving brother one cou
ESHA'S POINT OF VIEW"What happened after your twenty third birthday?" I asked her."I told about my relationship with Varun to Aadhvik. That's when he spoke to me for the last time and I wouldn't blame Aadhvik at any point." she said."So? Why he stopped talking you just because you were dating Varun?""Remember the car which I mentioned hitting my mom?" she asked wiping her tears."Yes.""That was driven by Varun that day. He was eighteen years old back then."Oh Varun drove the car. That's why......WAIT! I widened my eyes......WHAT?DID I HEAR SOMETHING WRONG?"VARUN?" I asked again to conform myself"You heard it righ
"Do you know how Varun's dad died?" Ehan asked."Are you dumb Ehan? How am I supposed to know how his dad died? I got to know about All this first by checking out the newspaper that was published fifteen years ago!" I was really being rude this time. I accept it!"Varun's dad was a very big businessman at that time. He was quite rich and my Father was his business partner. If you have actually read the newspaper with sense then you would have not come to me." Ehan sighs."What am I asking and what are you telling?""The same night. Varun's dad was a heart patient. He got a sudden cardiac arrest and my dad wasn't at town. Varun was eighteen by then and knew how to drive cars. He himself took his dad along with me and we were on the way to the hospital. Even now you go ask your husband and your sister in law about this. We horned the car all the way along. No one expected his mom to come in between.
I got seated inside Aadhira's car and drove off. On my way, the rusted bulb inside my brain lit open. I took my phone and looked at the picture of the report that I found that day on Aadhvik's car. I was really scared while taking the picture and was shivering so it didn't turn out to be clear. But when I zoomed it in I was sure that it was Vikas Uncle's hospital. The logo said it all.I rushed all way long to Zayd's hospital and went to the receptionists breathing heavily."I......I want to.....I want to meet Dr.Vikas." I said catching hold of my breath."Do you have any appointments?" She asked."No but I have to see him please. Zayd send me here as he cannot come here now to welcome him. Please send me in." I said more in a realistic way. The receptionist had a confused look on her face but she decided to let me in."Yeah, please go to room 203 on the second floor." she directe
