*Priya Pov*“Di! Calm down please.” Akhila said pleading me.“Calm down? How can I calm down Akhila? I need to pack but I didn’t even start.” I said taking my clothes out.“I think I need a bigger bag.” I said frowning.“Bags must be in store room.” Akhila said.“No Di! There are in Kri’s room.” Ri said looking at us.“Are you sure?” I asked her.“Yeah!” She replied grinning.“We need to be very silent though. She is not feeling well and taking rest right.” Akhila said and I nodded.“Yes Di! We need to be very silent.” Ri said grinning more making both of us frown at her.We walked towards Kri’s room and Ri stopped us to open it slowly. When she opened it, I just stopped in my tracks along with Akhila.“So this is your stomach ache.” I said and Kri jumped from her place.“Di! You scared me.” She said patting her back.“Hi!” Sanjay shouted at us waving his hand.“She is little busy now and she will talk to you later.” Akhila said closing the window.“Wow! That just so felt like hanging
*Priya Pov*“So how are you Mrs.Desai?” Raji asked when we walked near her.“Please stop it Raji.” I replied pleading her.“Then come and get yourself some Mehendi design.” She said moving a little.“Do I have to?” I asked her frowning.“Please!” She replied and I nodded sitting beside her.“Simple one please.” I said and the designer nodded smiling.“So how are you feeling?” I asked her after it is over.“Well actually bored. At the first one I was little excited to know what will happen in next ritual but now it is normal.” She replied and I nodded at her.“Did you even love him?” I asked her frowning.“What? No way! Eww..” She replied.“No need to act.” I said rolling my eyes.“Maybe he was my first crush and all but that’s all. We even led the married life with just that crush and it was so boring. I got attracted to another and when I confessed that he decided we need to get divorced.” She said and I nodded.“You are getting married to the guy you got attracted?” I asked her and
*Bharghav Pov*“What?” They three shouted at me.“What?” I asked them back.“Repeat it again.” Sanjay asked still completely shocked.“I proposed her and she said yes. We are engaged now.” I said sipping my coffee.“This is all a joke.” Kalyan decided to himself and sighed.“What do you mean by joke? What’s wrong with it?” I asked him frowning.“Do you really want us to believe that you just proposed her and she accepted it? No way!” Sanjay said shaking his head.“I agree with them.” Khushal said shrugging.“Ok! Next week on Christmas there is engagement party. You three are welcomed if you believe that this is true.” I said getting up.“Where is the party?” Sanjay asked.“At her house!” I replied.“We need not believe this to enter their house. So we will be there.” Kalyan said.“Today your imaginary girlfriends will tell you the news.” I said walking away.“Imaginary?” Sanjay asked.“Did you guys ask them to be your girlfriend recently after the break up?” I asked him back.“Oh shut
*Sanjay Pov*“Uhmm.. Akhila Di!” I said going near her.“Yes?” She asked turning around from the stove.“Do you guys by any chance have Kritika’s old photos here?” I asked her and she looked at me frowning.“Yeah! They are in my parent’s room we left in this house. Why?” She asked stirring the curry.“Nothing! By the way food is amazing.” I said and left the kitchen when she nodded smiling at me.“Why do you want to even know about them?” Someone asked and I jumped.“Kalyan! Don’t scare me like that again.” I said patting my back.“Tell me! Why do you need to know where the photos are?” He asked again.“I will tell you a secret and don’t tell anyone else.” I replied and he nodded.“Next week it is Kritika’s birthday. So I am planning to do a slide show with her baby photos.” I said and he fumed.“Who gave you that idea?” He asked still fuming.“It is my own idea.” I replied shrugging.“No need to act but tell me is it Bharghav Uncle’s?” He asked and I looked at him in shock.“How do y
*Akhila Pov*I continued to cry holding myself when I felt a hand on my head. I looked up to see Mom looking at me with tears sitting beside me.“Mom!” I said placing my head on her lap.“Don’t cry Akhila! You should have never known about this.” She said caressing my hair.“I never wanted you guys to know.” I said sobbing more.She chuckled and said “We should be the one to that say that line.”“When did you got to know?” Dad asked staying little back from me.“Few months before we came here.” I replied vaguely.“That’s why you came here.” Mom stated and I nodded.“That’s why you made this trip for us.” Dad said and I nodded again.“You both will always be the perfect couple for me and I don’t want any problems to be there between you both just because of me.” I said opening my eyes.“Never think like that Akhila. We never fought because of you.” Dad said kneeling beside us.“Don’t lie!” I said turning away.“Ok! We fought but that was way before dear.” Mom said and I shook my head.
*Akhila Pov*“Bye!” I said waving for Mom and Dad and they waved back smiling.“Let’s go!” Di said and I nodded at her.I sat calmly near passenger seat and looked outside fully knowing that two pairs of eyes looking at me and another pair is doing the same but also taking care of the driving.“I am fine!” I said entering our house finally after nearly one week.“But…” Di started saying and I shook my head.“You guys forgot one thing.” I said smiling.“What is it?” Ri asked frowning.“That I know all this nearly two years back. But you three got to know just one week back.” I replied.“So how are you guys?” I asked smiling.“Very funny Di.” Kritika replied rolling her eyes.“You both just go and study. This is second year guys.” I said in serious tone.“You seriously got Mom’s genes.” Ri said and immediately her eyes widened.“Yes! I got them. I just stole them from her.” I said smirking and they smiled leaving the room.After they left I turned towards Di who has this serious express
Few months later…..*Akhila Pov*“Di! Where are you?” Kritika asked immediately when I lifted my phone.“I am in Mumbai!” I replied taking my luggage out.“What? But you said you will return today. We are in station for you.” She said and continued to ramble.“Idiot! She is joking.” I heard Ri’s voice.“Were you joking Di?” She asked and I saw them looking everywhere.“What do you think?” I asked standing infront of them.“Di!” They both shouted and hugged me.“I missed you both!” I said hugging them back.“Not more than us for sure.” Kritika said.“You said few months but you never said few months means six months.” Ri complained.“They just extended their training.” I said smiling.“Shall we go home? I am tired.” I added and they both nodded.Ri got a driving license so she drove us to our house in Priya Di’s car. We went inside and I flopped myself on the couch.“So how are you both coping up alone here?” I asked after drinking some water.“Priya Di just left two months back right.
*Khushal Pov*“Leave me!” I said trying to make this girl leave my hand.“You promised my Bhai that you will help me right? So keep quiet.” She threatened me.“If your Bhai had not helped me in training then I would have never accepted for this.” I said glaring at her.“Oh shut up! Let me make my plan work.” She said and I rolled my eyes.“You can atleast leave my hand.” I said taking my hand away.“Don’t be rude! You will not burn if I touch your hand so again shut up.” She said pinching my hand making me glare at her more.I walked near the entrance and saw six pairs of eyes glaring at me. I frowned at them and then saw that they are looking at the girl beside me.“What the hell are you doing Bhai?” Sanjay asked glaring.“Sanjay! You know my coach sister right?” I asked him frowning.“So what she is his sister? That doesn’t give you the right to date her.” He replied shaking his head.“Dating? No.” She said before I can open my mouth.“Now act! He is coming here.” She whispered and
