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
*Khushal Pov*I woke up when I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Akhila looking at me with a big frown.“Why are you frowning?” I asked her hugging her more.“We need to get up. It is past 9.” She replied and tried to remove my hand but I didn’t let her.“Khushal! Can you please let me go?” She asked smiling.“Ok!” I whispered and immediately got up.“Go!” She said looking at me.“Where?” I asked her frowning.“To your house.” She replied and started searching for a dress.“No!” I said drifting off into sleep again.“Ok! I will leave the room.” Saying that she walked inside the washroom.I sighed and got up but didn’t leave the room. I checked my mobile to see few missed calls from coach.“Hello!” I said when he lifted my call.“You didn’t practice today.” He said and I frowned.“How do you know?” I asked him frowning.“Your voice is not strained.” He replied.“I just woke up.” I said walking towards the balcony.“What? You know you have a match in a week right?” He ask
*Akhila Pov*“What are you doing here?” I asked when I opened the door.“Well you said we can talk in the evening right?” He asked walking inside the house.“I thought you will be angry and not talk to me until I talk to you.” I replied walking into the living room where everyone is already there.“Angry? And on you? You are not joking right Di?” Ri asked smirking.“Why?” I asked her confused sitting on the floor near them.“Well do you know whenever he get angry on any one of us, what we do?” Sanjay asked and I shook my head.“We just say your name.” Kalyan said and stared at him in confusion.“What used to happen when you guys say my name?” I asked him frowning.“All his anger would always be thrown outside within a second.” Jiju replied.“Really?” I asked them smiling.“Stop it!” Khushal said placing his hand around my waist and I chuckled.“Di! Will you make some sweet today?” Kalyan suddenly asked.“Is there any special today?” I asked him.“No! But I missed eating some amazing s
*Ritika Pov*“Bhai is not in this room.” That’s what Khushi said when I walked inside her room.“So? I came here to meet you.” I said shrugging and sat beside her.“Tell your stories to someone else.” She said rolling her eyes.“Why do you think that I am telling a story?” I asked her frowning.“Well tomorrow is Bhai’s birthday and I am sure you are here to surprise him.” She replied smirking.“In the first year I wished him normally and second year I kissed him as a gift. And now…” I trailed off smirking.“Eww.. eww.. don’t say anything. Get out of my room.” She said getting up.“But I came here to stay for the night.” I said looking at her frowning.“You just gave me a stupid picture in my head so get out.” She said shaking her head.I laughed and walked outside her room then walked towards Kalyan’s room. I flopped myself on his bed and he looked up from his books.“I told you to stay in Khushi’s room right?” He asked frowning.“She threw me out.” I replied innocently.He looked at
*Priya Pov*“You know what?” I asked him walking inside our room.“What?” he asked looking up from the papers.“We need to go for a vacation.” I replied.“You are really spoiling me Priya. You know right that I don’t want to go to college after returning from a vacation with you.” He said shaking his head.“But it’s been nearly one year since we went to one. We will just go to your Mom’s house but in a train.” I said smiling.“It is a long journey in train.” He said when I sat on the hand of his chair.“That’s the plan Mr.Bharghav. It will be like meeting her and also our vacation.” I said smiling.“Why are you so happy?” he asked smiling.“Because I am feeling happy.” I replied shrugging. “I am tired after correcting these papers.” He said turning towards me.“Hmm… what should I do?” I asked smirking.“You know what you should do.” He replied pulling me into a kiss.When he started to drag it to somewhere, I shook my head saying “First promise me that we will go for vacation.”I
*Akhila Pov*“What happened?” He asked encircling his hand around my waist from behind as I stood in the balcony lost in my thoughts.“Nothing!” I replied leaning back.“You are upset.” He whispered in my ear.“Just for their teasing.” I said closing my eyes.“No! You were looking upset even before that.” He said turning me around.I slowly opened my eyes and sighed saying “It is just silly.”“Nothing is silly if it is upsetting you and you need to share it.” He said and I smirked.“When did my silent Khushal started talking such sense words?” I asked encircling my hands around his neck.“It’s been one year since we have been dating. You are still surprised?” He asked moving making me move with him and in minutes we both just started doing slow dance holding each other.“You always surprise me.” I replied smiling.“I think you have done a great job changing the topic. So now tell me.” He said and I frowned.“You will not leave it right?” I asked and he shook his head.“It’s just that
*Priya Pov*“So you will return after few more days?” I asked Akhila.“Yes Di! And I have a surprise for you.” She replied and we hanged up the phone.Hearing the door bell I walked towards it and opened it to only hear “What are doing here opening the door?”“Mom!” I whispered looking at her.“I will scold you later but for now congratulations.” She said hugging me.“Congratulations to you too.” I said when she released me.“You should rest Priya.” Dad said side hugging me.“I am just three months pregnant.” I said smiling at them.“Where are these two?” Mom asked when we walked inside the living room.“These are holidays right so they went for a movie.” I replied hiding the fact that they went to two different movies with their boyfriends.“Where is Bharghav?” Dad asked.“Hey Dad!” Bharghav said walking inside.“Did you bring all the fruits?” I asked him and he nodded smiling.“Good! You should eat lots of fruits and even take only good food.” Mom said smiling.“When will Akhila ret
#STILL IN THE PAST#*Third Person Pov*Priya wants to bring all her toys back with her but her Mom didn’t want her to bring all the toys as there are a few already at home. So, she continued to stare at her toys and chose one after the other with her silent sister beside her.However, when they heard her Mom’s loud voice, her sister rushed to the door while Priya ignored it as she heard it many times already.She sighed choosing a few she really likes to play with and then took the ones she found her sister glancing at even though all she held was the doll that their Mom held before.“I want to bring these, Mom.” Priya said choosing half of the toys and waited patiently thinking her Mom will ask her to remove a few more.“Okay! Let’s go him!” She smiled hearing those words from her Mom and walked towards her sister to hold her hand.“Dad! Let’s go home!” Priya said smiling at her father who smiled at her before leaning over to kiss her cheek.“I will put your clothes and toys in the c
#PAST#*Third Person Pov*“You do know that you can’t let Priya stay with me forever, right?” She closed her eyes hearing her Mom’s words.“I know, Mom! But… but I can’t let her stay here and witness all the fights, Mom.” She whispered leaning back on the chair.“It’s been two years already. Do you think Priya will be happy by seeing you once a week? And that too you both never come here together. Just imagined how it will be for her.” Her Mom pointed out.“And all you can do is forgive him. It’s been three years and you are still blaming him even though he is remorseful. I didn’t see anyone regretting their actions like my Son-in-law is doing. Also, he is working so hard and your financial position is also really good now.” Her Mom continued.“I will come to a decision soon, Mom.” Saying that she cut the call and brushed her tears away.She knows that she has been avoiding this decision for the past two years and want to end it at once but thinking about her daughter who has to live
*Akhila Pov*“She doesn’t like staying in pain like this and even wished to not go through the time limit which we both went through. However, she is going through more than us.” I mumbled not able to see her in pain like this.“Tell me about it. Did you text Khushal to come directly to the hospital?” Di asked and I nodded at her.I texted him while Di said she will wait for some time as right now Bharghav must be on stage as per the itinerary.As we both continued to stay in the room while Ri finally took a small nap, my phone started ringing.I frowned seeing the coach’s name and picked it up asking, “Will it take longer for the match to finish, coach?”I asked that thinking maybe Khushal left instructions to keep me updated but all I heard was a rushed voice from the other side and I heard the words that scared me.“Khushal is hurt and we are bringing him to the hospital where you are right now. I need a family member to do the formalities and so I called you against his wishes.” I
*Sanjay Pov*“Sanjay! The agent called me asking whether we can do a small concert as we have a week’s time before the next destination in this tour.” I glanced up from the music sheet hearing those words from my band member.“Why did he call you instead of me?” I asked frowning before taking out my phone.I am the leader of the band and it’s not that I want to have power but the agent generally talks to me about these plans.So, when he suddenly called the drummer instead of me, it doesn’t click well and I know he will not feel to hear such words from me and so I couldn’t help but mutter those words.“Even I got that doubt and he wanted me to discuss with others but didn’t mention Kri or you. When I mentioned your names, he went silent.” I frowned more hearing those words.“Maybe it is time to change the agent or maybe even the company.” He added and I sighed nodding.Recently, after I talked with the company about letting Kri take a rest after this tour, the company started acting u
*Khushal Pov*After stopping the alarm, I rolled over to hug her feeling lazy to get up. Why did I set the alarm for this time?I sighed pulling her body closer to mine and she calmly patted my hand on her stomach in her sleep making me smile.“Awake?” she asked in a whisper and I kissed her cheek before nodding at her question.As I snuggled closer, she sighed saying, “I almost forgot that you have a match today. Priya Di reminded me yesterday night.”“I got tired and slept off early and didn’t remind you.” She nodded at my words but yawned in the next second.“I am so tired!” she whispered while I sighed hugging her tightly as I wish I can do something to not let her get tired like this.With Rithika’s situation, she is taking care of her according to a schedule Priya Di and she planned as Kalyan is busy with matches during this time.“Need to go?” she asked turning around in my hold to look at me.I nodded leaning over to kiss her forehead and she smiled before snuggling more into
*Akhila Pov*"What's with this weird atmosphere?" Bhargav Jiju asked, sitting down beside Priya Di while she pushed the breakfast container towards him in silence.Actually, except for Khushal we all are sitting here, but a huge silence is surrounding all of us. He shrugged to himself before starting to eat while none of us didn't even take a bite even after spending ten minutes by sitting here."Are you both still fighting?" he finally asked, glancing at Kri and Sanjay."Yeah! And that too in silence." Ri replied, rolling her eyes."Do you have any problem?" Kri asked, frowning at her finally saying a word."Yes! Because you both are being complete idiots." Ri gestured the couple who is having a silent fight for the past two days."Ri! Didn't we all decide to never get involved in the couple's fight? You can show concern, but not like this." Di warned her, but she just shook her head."They are really being idiots, Di. Look at Kalyan and I, we always fight expressing ourselves and en
*KalyanPov*"Do not disturb me, Kalyan. I am trying to study here." Ri shouted pushing me away as I sat behind her and hugged her tightly while she was sitting on our bed."You are just always studying. We finished our studies long back right."I whispered in her ear while tickling her waist which doesn't have any effect at all as usual."That's because this is civils and not something else. You all have some profession to do and I am just idle." she mumbled in a dull tone."Hey!What are you even saying?" I asked turning her around."Yes! All my sisters are doing all the work while giving me time to study but I didnt got qualified in mains." she whispered sighing."Is this my Ritika talking? Many people fail at the first step and you know it right?" I said giving her a small smile."Yeah! So, now let me study to pass this time." she said pushing my hands and did I say again."Fine! Do your study in our room and chat with your sisters when you are studying. You just forgot me." I said m
*Priya Pov*"I am dying to meet them." I said looking at the passengers walking outside the airport."Yeah! Both our houses just got so dull after they left." Akhila said holding her Daughter."Don't go there, Ram." I said pulling him back before he gets slip away from my hand."He is really energetic." Akhila said looking at him with a smile."I still can't believe that they just extended their honeymoon to one month." I said shaking my head thinking about our sisters."Come on Di! Kalyan had to play a few games in that time and even Sanjay and Kritika had a few tours with their band. So they did a right thing by extending it." She said smiling at me."Yeah! I just hope Ri didn't get any bore there with those three doing their work." I said frowning."Actually, I get to learn a few things about boxing so now I can try to defeat my darling Khushal Jiju." We heard a voice from behind us making us shriek in terror.We both turned to see those four monkeys standing behind us with grins.
#After two years#*Priya Pov*“Wedding was amazing right?” I asked Bharghav removing my ear rings.“Yes! And you looked beautiful.” He replied standing behind me.“And you took care of everything like a big brother.” I said smiling.“But not more than you three sisters though.” He said hugging me.“That’s true!” I said grinning.“So where is our dear son?” he asked looking around.“He wants to play with his one year old sister.” I replied smiling how he doesn’t leave his sister who is Akhila’s daughter and is just six months younger than him.“Can Akhila take care of them properly without stress? I mean they both have not much age difference.” Bharghav said frowning.“She took care of the twins when she was just nearly three years.” I said rolling my eyes.“She even joined nursery one year lately saying she needs to take care of them.” I added.“Do you know Sanjay still teases Khushal saying he married someone older than him?” Bharghav said chuckling.“She is just few months older.” I
