6:30am
Alarm buzzes
"Oh... god...where is that annoying thing?" I whined as my alarm buzzes continuously like if it stops it would die.
I tried to open my eyes but the vision seems blurry... Oh I need to wear my glasses or what do you call it spectacles.... That's boring though.... Anyways I have glasses isn't it cool?
I picked up my glasses from the side table and went to switch off the alarm... which is the most annoying thing for me... I wore my glasses and put them properly on my nose, then took a glance at the time.
"ohh... no it's 6:30 am and she must be sleeping... god help me today.. " I muttered to myself and ran to my little sister's room.
"wake up... It's 6:30 ... Mom please wake up"
Yes you read it right I am here to wake my MOM up from her deep slumber.
"I am already running late... and Jiya too will be late... If you don't get up to make our breakfast" I whined and tried to break her sleep by shaking her shoulder hastily.
"oh god... I don't understand why all of you have to go early in the morning only... what is wrong in afternoon.. Can't you go in afternoon? " my mom whined like I am using a lipstick from her favorite collection.
"mom.... I am not the president so there is nothing I can do about this, alright? and I guess president will also not be able to help you in this... So get up now... And wake up Jiya also... I am going to get ready now "
I told her and she left her bed showing me her grumpy face.
After 30 mins
7:00am
I am all ready for my job no. one and going to the dining area for my breakfast.
"Good morning principessa"
"Good morning dad... well what language it is this time?"I asked him unable to understand what he called me. He is the owner of Destination travel agency and is very fond of learning different languages... or words atleast...from his clients.
"it's Italian... And principessa means princess, dear" my dad told me happily.
"ohh... sounds good"
"I know and here is your tea... and breakfast will be served by your mother...shortly" my dad informed me.
Okay...okay I know that I have a wierd family... especially not like a indian one but what can I say.... anyways, myself Drishti Sharma, I am 25 year old. I have a family in which my mom is not near an early riser..... but she wakes up before my little sis, Jiya. She is 16 year old cutie, we have a relationship like sun and moon..how blissful... isn't it?
Whatever... Yeah we are enemies with same blood running inside....but we can gang up together if anyone says a word against... Pizza. So don't you dare okay... well let me tell you something about my father, he is a gentleman, like you know he brought tea for me, he does that every morning but he can't cook anything other than tea or coffee.... So this is the reason I was in my sister's room early in the morning... Ohh.. I forgot to tell you my mom sleeps in Jiya's room and my dad in his room... and me of course in my room.
" here...sandwiches and fruits" my mom came and kept the plate on table for me and dad.
"where's Jiya?" I asked.
"she left for her school" mom replied.
"did she had anything be-"
"yes dear... I gave her milkshake before she left don't worry" my dad said before I could complete my sentence.
"okay.... uh... I m done... I should get going now... "
"okay take care, principessa" my dad said.
"yeah.... you too take care, dad" I replied and stood up as my mom already left having no interest in our conversation. I sighed... took my helmet and scooty keys and left my home for a long- long day.
I have two jobs which pay me really well.
1. At Better half, matrimonial company. I work as a matchmaker there for helping my customers to change their status from single to mingle.
2. At call centre, from evening to 10:00pm of night. I work there attending calls and helping customers to resolve their problems they face because of their sim cards or their device.
So basically I have only one motto in my life and that is to exhaust myself so much till night that I can get asleep directly without thinking anything about my parents.
Rakshit's point of viewAT, FORTUNE MNC"hey.... Good morning, how have you been?" a shrill voiced person said.I was scrolling through my phone to reply some mails when I heard her... Ms. Malini."Hi, good morning to you too, I am fine thankyou and you look fine too... So we should start doing the work for which we are appointed... Right?" I said honestly.What...Honesty is the best policy.. I am just following that.She whispered a go to hell and left my desk stomping her foot hardly with the help of her sharp heels. I wonder how girls walk with this pillar under their foot... doesn't that needle hurt?Anyways...I hate chattering especially when I am at office and my boss is very fond of me as this is one my qualities which no one here has.Yes I have a boss.. So what? not everyone in the world is a billionaire...
Rakshit's point of view "hello.... Miss Geeta, how is she?" I have no courage to face her so I called the caretaker of the orphanage where she is staying. "She is still upset.... But she doesn't cry anymore.... Always asks about you... Why don't you come to meet her? " and my heart sank listening about her sadness.... She must be really very upset with me. "sir, yesterday she even told me that she will never demand anything....she just wants to be with you." I don't know when my eyes got filled with tears. I was not able to speak anything.... but at last I gathered courage and asked her the question... which I was asking her since two months. "Isn't there any solution against this rule? There must be some-" "Sir.... Please we have already disscused about this earlier.... There is nothing I can do to help yo
Drishti's point of view "so you think you have persuasive skills, don't you? " Samaira questioned. "Sam, it's past twelve in night and you have called me to ask such a question.." I whined as my so called bf... I mean best friend disturbed my sleep. " get your self together and show up at my home right now.... and knock some sense in my mother... You have 10 mins" she ordered. "What...listen,I know you returned my scooty in the evening at cafe where you paid for my pasta as well.... But this doesn't mean you can disturb my sleep... Got it?" "9 mins and 25 secs" "Sam... You-" "if you don't come here right now.... I will tell your Dracula mother that you can cook which you learnt from YouTube... Then you know what will you go through.. " " I will be there in 5 mins.. Bye" I took my specs and ran to her house as i
Drishti I was walking through the streets. Yes, Inspite of having a scooty I am walking through the streets waiting for a taxi and thanks to my I-m-too-daring friend, Samaira for doing this to me. Ahh... I hate her being so dramatic. Actually her mom came to know the stunt she pulled in front of the guy, who was set up for a meeting with Sam for marriage. Yes....she did scared him to death by acting as if she is possessed and today her mom got a call from his family and they adviced her to take my dearest friend to a priest who is good for black magic and can help her to be alright and steady. This got on the nerve of her mom as she very well knew her and then she called Sam when we were at office and told that she is going to see the most dangerous side of hers today and she is coming to our office. That's it... Sam told me that she is going to hide somewhere until her mom r

Rakshit "hello... Rohan" I said in a desperate voice and continued as he replied with a hey. "listen to me I want you to help me out... I m stuck in a situation in which I have only one choice" "And what's that?"Rohan asked totally confused. "I.... I.. need... INEEDAWIFE " I replied to him as hurriedly as I could. "Use spacebar in your sentence,so I can make out what are you saying.. alright?" " I said...I need a wife" "come again..You need what?" he asked and I was totally frustrated by now. "Don't you get on my nerves and hear me out clearly... I said I NEED A WIFE " I shouted at him. "Are you drunk... And how dare you drink without me man... I mean you are unbelievable sometimes" he started his melodrama like
Rakshit Morning ; 7:30 am I know I was rude to Rohan but I am so pissed because of the situation I am in. I feel sorry for him but he is stuck with me and my problems. Currently I am making coffee for myself then I will leave for office. Door bell rings "how is my koala bear doing?" Rohan barged in... has he forgot what I had told him last night. "Get out" I reminded him. " No... no koala bear that's not how you treat your best friend forever" he sang in my ears. "I told you something to do" I again tried to remind him. "I know....what do you think I will show up my charming face in front of you... without my work done? So that you can destroy it and I die unmarried?" He whined and I shoot him a glare. "Don't worry... Just check your mail" I served two cups of cof
At Better Half Matrimonial Company Drishti "Listen to me maam I am trying.....just give me sometime I will surely give you some information.... Yeah sure. Thank you so much." I sighed. "What's wrong?" Samaira came running to me. "Remember Mrs Agravat.....her daughter Shruti is a fashion designer and wants a high society guy? " "Ohhh yeah that crazy Mother-daughter duo.... I remember but what was she saying?" "She wants some details from us... She thinks we are not doing our work properly... She wants her daughter to get married as soon as possible and she also said that if we don't give her any information within two days she is going to complain to boss" I told Sam. "What does she think....she is buying a tv or fridge from us?... God these mothers...cant they understand we are finding a perfect ma
The wind was blowing and her dark brown hairs flew in the direction the wind wanted them to. She was patting Riva's head as she decided to sleep in her lap after filling her drawings in her drawing book. The balcony reminded her of the moment or say their moment when her husband decided to kiss her the first time...it was literally her first time as it was her first kiss. She couldn't help but smile when she remembered how she ran out of his arms and went to the washroom and locked herself inside it for more than half an hour and Rakshit got worried and knocked continuously saying he won't do it if she is disappointed and he is sorry for making her upset. She laughed at how desperate he sounded and asked "are you crying" well ofcourse not she was just blushing inside and didn't have the guts to face him. But as she could hear him sigh across the closed door she decided to reply this t
Rohan's povIt was our lunch time and I saw a message popped out on my mobile screen...it was from Mrs koala bear and it read "can you come home it's urgent?"My lunch break still had thirty minutes so I typed yes and went at Rakshit's house. Rakshit even asked me where I was heading but I dodged the question not wanting to lie as I know drishti's message has something to do with Rakshit's birthday and it's a surprise for him.I reached there and knocked. Mrs koala bear came a shoot me a dazzling smile."Hi... thanks for coming..come in" she smiled again." Uh.. would you like to have some coffee?" She was showing me hospitality now."Okay...that's it we are going to a doctor" I confirmed. She is being really wierd I mean we don't have civil conversations and this is scary."What? Why I am fine" she defended bewildered."No y
Rakshit's pov"What!!" Drishti was surprised to know this...at this moment I just want to runaway and not talk about this but I know I better finish this for forever."It's a long story" I scratched the back of my neck feeling nervous all of a sudden."Oh just spill it, will you? I have had enough of your suspense...and I am sure you don't want to provoke me into hitting you with something" she had an annoying expression and was looking for something to hit me."Well I am not a fan of domestic violence....you know..""RAKSHIT FREAKING SHERGILL...just spill it or else I am calling mom and complaining that you made me cry" she pointed a finger towards me threatening the life out of me."Alright... alright" I raised my hands in surrender."Where do I start from...uh..this is more difficult for me than I thought" I muttered and then hea
Riva's pov Today was so exciting...It was my most happy day... I am so happy because I met mom today! Yes..I met mom. When I and drishi mami went for parent teacher meeting today...I was scared that my friend diya and Maria will know about my truth that I don't have parents. I know I should'nt hide it from my friends because grandma says you should never lie specially to those who are close to you. But I couldn't tell them because I always feel upset when they speak so much about their parents. How much they love them...what they do on holidays and how they spend their birthdays. I was sad and couldn't tell them that I do nothing like that as I don't have parents. So today when I and drishi mami went to meet Ms Martha, my class teacher...she said she wanted to talk to drishi mami alone so I went outside leaving the two to talk.  
"oh my god.... Rakshit ..Rohan! Where were you both?" I asked astonished to see their shirts all crumbled and dirty."You should ask that question to your husband Mrs Koala bear" Rohan said then sat on the sofa making himself comfortable."Rakshit... where were you?" I gave him my undivided attention to seek a proper answer."Out" he gave me a monotonous answer."Rakshit!" I glared as if asking him to elaborate."Fine..." he huffed then continued "we might went to talk to the boy who was being the disturbance yesterday on our first date" he sighed."Yeah...if you think talking means punching the shit out of him then breaking two of his ribs plus his nose in a freaking ICU where he was already admitted... surely we talked" Rohan answered with sarcasm dripping down from his voice."You Did What!!!" I asked him looking at him incredulously.
Drishti's povI sent Riva school and now I am learning cooking from veena aunty our housekeeper...she told me about everyone's likes and dislikes even though.... I knew about Mr Shergill's due to our little chat between the dance that day.I cleaned my hands after preparing for lunch and I heard my phone buzzing...I looked at the caller ID and smiled."Hey...had lunch?" He asked"No..I just prepared it now...first I'll serve to mom..then I"ll have mine""Alright then I"ll call you after you have your lunch...yeah that would be right..I should hang up" he muttered to himself."No..no..tell me what is it?you sound nervous""I was..th.. thinking that maybe I and I mean we..""He wants you to ask you for a date" Rohan screamed from behind and I laughed."Can't you just keep your mouth shut...I was trying here" I co
Drishti's povSo...we had a long long movie day...yes "day" because our little munchkin asked Rakshit to complete a dialogue from her favourite movie Frozen every time when the movie ended and when he was unable to answer... which was twice Riva played the movie again...so we watched this animated movie thrice... yup you read it right."My goodness don't you both have any work to do tomorrow" my mother in law entered and sweetly shouted.Currently we all are sprawled on the sofa like dead people not caring about any manners."Mom... thank god you came please take Riva with you inside...I am fed of this stupid movie" Rakshit went towards mom and whispered..but I could hear.She nodded in agreement."Riva...come on doll we need to sleep now... don't you want to go to school tomorrow" mom said in typical mom accent."But grand ma..I am not s
Drishti's pov"Good morning" I heard him say.My head was pounding as if I had a bad hangover but that was not the case.I saw Rakshit standing beside me with a cup of coffee... I guess."Good morning" I muttered not finding any strength to reply due to last night's embarrassment."Here... coffee" he handed me my coffee... while I just stared at it."It's not poisoned..you know. I can check for you." Saying that he had his cup in his hands and took a sip then sighed in relief."No harm you see" he stated dramatically and I rolled my eyes.Then we had our coffee in utter silence but a comfortable one."Want to talk about it?" I heard him ask.I exactly know what is he talking about..my mother that forbidden topic for me.But now I feel I have had enough keeping this inside me for year
Drishti's povYou...you should have died the day I gave birth to you.You are the disgrace to family...I so knew it you married the man because you got pregnant before marriage.Can't believe we didn't know about your relationship.I told your coward of father to not allow you so much of freedom but that idiot couldn't be man enough to stop you.Do you even realise how much our reputation will fall because of the stunt you pulled.You are a characterless girl.Get lost....I disown you.I cried cried and cried... bringing my knees close to my chest...I continued to weep...as long as I can.Her words...her words... pierced my heart as thousands of needles would."Di..you should go back." Jia patted my hairs as if I were younger one here...I nodded as words could'nt come ou
