2 WEEKS LATER
God why is getting up from bed so hard? Auch! If Aadhvik's love is his jaguar means my love is this bed. How heavenly? Ahh! Esha get up you lazy mangoose. I streched myself and finally got out of the bed.
I went down to look for breakfast and I see Aadhvik hurriedly doing something.
"What happened to you?" I asked.
"Thank goodness you woke up! Do me a favor today I have to go take an important file from the office. So you cook for me. Let me go take a bath now." he said. Before I could reply he vanished off.
What the hell? How am I supposed to cook? I don't know anything expect beverages and noodles. I went to the kitchen in search of noodles packet.
Damn! How did I forget it. Me and Aadhvik ate noodles yesterday only. Ughhh!! I only found some tomatoes and onions. What am I supposed to do with this now? With so much confidence inside me,
"Are you serious Dua? I asked"Yeah! I have to go now. Bye!" She hanged up the phone.Duh! I was so pissed that I wanted Aadhvik immediately in front of me now. This is completely unfair. Who would go to Delhi for a board meeting on summer vacations? I took my phone and dialed him, "Do you have a plan of coming back?" I cut short straight into the matter."I will reach there by evening, by the way why are you yelling at me right now?" he asked"Zayd is your best friend right? Tell me the truth!!""What happenend to you all of a sudden?""Zayd is taking Dua on a date to restaurant. He is your friend since twenty years, look at you and look at him." I yelled."That's the matter. Fine I will take you to restuarent once I come back. Okay?""NO! Just because he takes Dua to restaurant doesn't mean you will also do the
I entered inside and found my dad reading morning newspaper. He still didn't realise my presence."Pa...." I called him."Esha!" My dad stood up and I hugged him crying. My mom heard my voice and came out from the kitchen."Esha you came this early? Who droped you dear?" My mom asked worriedly."I came by.....by cab." I said with a fake smile."Come...." My mom pulled me towards the dinning, "I have made all your favourite dishes, everything you like. You can have everything and how much ever you want."I sat on one of the chair and started eating. It have been too long since I have had all this food. All my sorrows were vanished away seeing the food. First I smelled it and then slowly took in everything, rolled it and kept it in my mouth and took a small and steady bite. Ummhh!! Mom's food is tasty for everyone."Ma, this is why
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
