*Anusha Pov*

"Let me sleep, Bhai." I screamed, covering my face with the pillow, but he continued to knock on the door.

"Why are you torturing me?" I asked, opening the door to which he smiled and pushed me back before entering the room.

"I am not going to sit alone with them to bear their company. You can't escape it just because today is a holiday." He replied, shrugging, and started checking my music collection.

"Then you go and sleep." I mumbled, sitting on the bed.

"Nope! Then he will start giving me a class on how a businessman should spend the leisure days." He pointed out making me grin.

"A businessman is a businessman even in his sleep." I repeated Dad's words.

"Exactly! Now, get ready and come downstairs. Otherwise, I am not going to give you this ticket." Saying that he took out a paper making me scream.

"I didn't get one then how did you?" I asked, reaching near him but he lifted it up.

"Connections! Now, let's enjoy breakfast and in the evening I will even come along with you to the movie." He suggested.

"I can go with my friend." I suggested back.

"It is a night show." He stated as an explanation and left my room while I sighed.

After getting ready, I walked downstairs to see Mom and Dad already in their places and I so I knocked on Bhai's door on the way to which he immediately opened the door. We both walked downstairs and took our places in the dining area.

"Did you talk to the client?" Dad asked looking at me.

"Yeah! He is ready to listen to our deal." I replied, taking the bread slice.

"Are you ready with the deal to show the client?" he asked, turning towards Bhai and all he got was a nod.

"Tell him to be proper at the meeting and get this client somehow." Dad said looking at me.

"Dad! He is best." I assured him, but he just shook his head and continued to have his breakfast.

"It's a good thing you woke up early. We need to go shopping today." Mom suddenly said making me frown.

"Mom! I can't come today and what is the need?" I asked her frowning.

She looked at me like I said some very bad joke, but she shook her head in the next minute in disappointment.

"That's why I asked you to attend the kitty parties with me. Anyway, we need to upgrade ourselves with the fashion developments. And you are really good at telling the proper ones that would suit me." She pointed out smiling.

"Mom! I am actually going out today. And I don't know how long will it take for the shopping." I said with a smile.

"Date?" she asked, smiling and there was complete silence around us with Dad looking at me.

"Anyone we know?" he asked frowning.

"You know him too well, Dad." Bhai finally entered the conversation.

"Really? Who is that?" he asked with a relieved expression.

"Me!" when Bhai uttered that I couldn't help but laugh at Dad's expression.

"Ansh!" Dad warned, but Bhai just gave him an innocent expression.

"You don't know me well, Dad?" he asked with wide eyes and I wish he would stop that because I felt like laughing out loud seeing his drama.

"I am going to work." Saying that Dad stood up and gave a nod to Mom.

"Mom! Don't you think Dad should have stayed at home at least on Sundays?" I asked frowning at her.

"Why would he do that? Work is more important and even I need to meet the charity organization today." Saying that she stood up and walked off in the opposite direction.

"That's a relief!" Bhai said, sighing and leaned back with a relaxed expression.

"Don't you worry that they are becoming even more distant?" I asked him frowning.

"Isn't it a good thing? I can't hear either both of them talking about society or about some new people of our standards." He replied closing his eyes.

"But I had fun today." He added grinning.

"You should have joined the drama school." I said, kicking his leg with mine.

"I wanted to when I was in school, but Dad just said a future businessman never does drama. So, I decided to unleash all that on them." He said winking at me making me sigh.

"Just don't forget about the movie because of one of your dates." I said getting up to which he chuckled.

"Don't worry! Today I am very free with a fresh break up made yesterday, but I can't say the same about tomorrow. Who knows, I may meet someone today night only?" he asked and laughed seeing my expression before walking off.

"God! I want to meet some normal people in my life like completely normal." I said, looking up and walked off to my room to hear some music to forget all this.

*Satvik Pov*

"Stop that nonsense." I grumbled passing the living room, but my Bhabhi continued to watch the television not reducing the sound.

"Why are you scolding my daughter-in-law?" Mom asked, reaching the dining table with a frown holding the dishes in her hands.

"Who will watch a soap opera in the morning?" I asked taking my place.

"Because of the match we both missed it yesterday and you only suggested we record it and watch later." She pointed out and served the paratha.

"I gave a suggestion when you both started fighting with Dad and Bhai disturbing my reading." I pointed back that I was not involved with a match at all.

Before she can open her mouth, we heard footsteps and saw Dad and Bhai walking towards the dining area which means she will go quiet making me smirk.

"Stop that! Who watches soap opera in the early morning?" Dad asked passing the living room and then I heard the television getting switched off.

When Bhabhi walked towards the table, I glared at her, but she just gave a shrug before helping Mom with the serving and everyone took their place.

"I will assume you are coming for tomorrow's meeting." Dad asked but I stayed quiet.

"It would have been a normal one, but seems like we have a competition tomorrow. So, it would be better if everyone is present and be ready for any extra work." He added.

"Do I need to be there? My work doesn't involve presenting the idea to the client." I pointed out to which he frowned at me.

"If any new idea needs to be given, then should we call you and wait for you to reach?" he asked making me grit my teeth but I stayed silent.

"Don't talk about the business having breakfast and that too on holiday." Mom stated making me smile to myself.

She is always in the first step to stop Dad from saying anything to me. Well, the perks of being Mom's favorite, but at work Bhai has it for being Dad's favorite.

"Thank you, Mom!" I said, hugging her when Dad and Bhai left the dining area finishing their breakfast to discuss tomorrow's meeting.

"You can thank her better by doing one thing." Bhabhi offered reaching near us.

"How?" I asked her frowning.

"Every day we miss our shows because of your Dad and Brother. So, we both thought of having a television in your room. You are not interested in it. So, can we?" she asked smiling.

"Why don't you have one in one of your rooms?" I asked them frowning.

"Then they will occupy that along with living room's. Can't you do this for your poor mother?" Bhabhi asked, gesturing my Mom and Mom gave that sad look.

"Fine, Fine! When you look sad, you know that I will do everything." I said, pulling her cheeks and she smiled.

"But I don't want Dad to think I asked this for myself. It is your duty to get one and don't use my name." I added to which Bhabhi promised and I shook my head walking away.

Now, I will not have peace, even in my room to have a good time reading a book. But if it for Mom, then it doesn't matter at all! I thought, smiling and reached my room to finish the important books before the roommate, the television enters my room.

But then I can’t live with the people who don’t like me with peace, right.Well, if a client says the same thing what would you do, Anu?

Today is the last night of me being a bachelor and I need to enjoy it, right?” Ansh said shrugging.“He is just angry that I forced him for this.” Kirthi added.“Not at all! You are completely right about this. Anu and you should stay here in her flat while Satvik and I will go out to enjoy our last night of bachelorhood and we will meet you tomorrow near the venue.” He said smiling and I still didn’t like it.“Satvik! Just for today.” Anusha whispered and I sighed, walking near the door along with Ansh.“Don’t worry Satvik, my friends are giving a party and we are going there. Seems lik

For the past week, I am unable to see her properly with her busy and I can’t just go and talk to her after knowing she will be moving on.“But she already left.” Jay said frowning.“To her flat? I will go there.” I said, moving towards the door, but he stopped me.“No! These three days she is going out and I didn’t see her returning to the flat at all. And she is quite busy with some other personal work I think.” He commented.What? I asked in my head, frowning, not understanding

You made it?” she asked, looking up to which I smiled.“I don’t think it would have been a good thing to poison you with my food when you are ill. So, I asked Kirthi to make it and I just re-heated it.” I replied, shrugging while she stared at me surprised.“What?” I asked her frowning.“If I had asked that question before, your answer would have been simple no. But now…” she trailed off.“Are you complaining that I am talking too much?” I asked and took her bowl after she finished everything.“Until when will you stay here?” she asked changing the topic.“I think your Mom will not miss me that much if I stay three more days here.” I replied leaving the room.She is asking the s

So, I will just go and take the shower. I am feeling too sweaty.”I stared at her even more confused thinking why is she saying that to me, but Kirthi who is standing beside her just mumbled, “Sure! I will be here.”“I will just be back.” Mom said, nodding at me and walked off, literally with a spring in her steps.“What happened to her?” I asked entering the kitchen to see Kirthi closing the dish on the stove with a lid.“What do you mean?” she asked finally turning around.“What do I mean?

It’s just eight and I am still sleeping.” I mumbled and let out a yawn.“I don’t care whether it is Sunday or not, but somehow I want to see you within half an hour.” Saying that she hung up and I stared at the phone in shock.Today is the only day I can stay away from him and she wants me to come there and see him? I mean not specifically, but he will be there, right?Wait! What if he went to his parent’s house? With that question in mind, I got ready and reached near my parent’s place not within half an hour but definitely within an hour.I walked inside and went directly near the dining area as the maid suggested to see

You can stay here you know.” I offered, but she immediately shook her head.“No! I decided long back to never live with the people who don’t want my presence.” She explained and I sighed leaning back.“Now tell me why are you glowing? Had a good rest?” she asked, frowning at me.“Good rest? I didn’t sleep for even two hours.” I mumbled, but she continued to frown.“Then why are you glowing?” she asked,

I asked myself for the millionth time but still don’t have an answer for it.I gave him my answer and he accepted it too, then why am I still thinking about it? I groaned picking out the phone from the bedside table.I need to talk to someone and I just have the right person for it who will not even judge me. However, when she didn’t even pick up, I placed the phone back in its place.What happened to Kirthi now? Is she already asleep this soon? I shook my head and leaned back to the bed hoping she will call me back.Somehow remembering I have work to do, I laid down and drifted off into sleep. But then the memories returned and I ended up ignoring them before letting sleep consume me even though partially.“Mom?”

What was so different with both of us that something like that happened?He smiled at me before answering the congratulations he is getting from the people and I wish I can remove that smile for making me this confused.“Hey! Come on, everyone! We all enjoyed this fest and now just dance away. The floor is looking too empty.” Someone commented and that made everyone move towards it some in pairs and some just individuals.We both just stood away while talking to whoever rea

And I also know we have full capability to win it, but it will be a problem.” He repeated again before glancing at Satvik and then at me.“What will be the problem?” Yash asked with an irritated expression.“The competition is about making an advertisement in thoughts before presenting that to the judges and make them accept it. That can be done only by two people from the four of us. And those two people for sure can’t go together for this trip.
