*Nisha Pov* It is exams time for both of us and I am sitting beside Ayesha while she is studying. I am also doing the same but opened my mobile when I saw that I got a message from Pavani. ‘I am scared!’ that’s what she messaged with terrified emotions. “Study now!” I messaged back. “Study!” I heard Ayesha said patting my book. “Sure Madam!” I said bowing and continued to read. “What are you doing?” I heard him asking and looked up to see him standing near the door. “Studying!” We both replied but I just did in a whisper. “Dinner?” He asked, walking towards her. “I had!” She replied nodding. “Go to sleep.” He said looking at her. “Exam!” She said whining. “So? Write how much you know. No need to study this much.” He said closing her books. “I want to!” She said, opening the book. “Sleep, Ayesha!” He said, shaking his head. “No! I want to study.” She said stubbornly. Wow! She definitely has my qualities. I thought and stopped myself from smiling. “Ayesha!” He said in a
*Nisha Pov* “We are going to a party and you are not saying ‘No’.” Pavani said rushing towards me walking out of her exam room. “No!” I said smiling and then turned to walk. “Oh, come on! You need to come.” She pleaded. “Did you forget about Ayesha?” I asked her frowning. “No! But you said your Mom was in the town right. So she will take care of her.” She replied. “They will return today evening sharp at 9.” I said, shaking my head and smiled when Rajeev walked towards us. “9 right! Then I promise you that you will be at home before 9.” She said pleading more. “Pavani! Don’t ask like that.” I said groaning. “Please… please...” She continued to plead, and I finally said, “Ok!” “Yes!” She said shouted, and few people glanced at us with funny looks. “She is just happy that she wrote the exam well.” Rajeev said, and the stares reduced. “I wrote today’s exam worst.” She said, rolling her eyes. “Who cares? This was our last exam for this year, and we should just look forward to
*Nisha Pov* I walked inside the house and saw that Mom and Aunt are waiting for me. I glanced to their sides to see even the luggage is packed. “I am sorry I got late.” I mumbled walking towards them. “You are not late.” Mom said, smiling and I nodded. “Ayesha?” I asked them frowning. “She had her dinner and is sleeping now.” Aunt replied, and I nodded. “We will go now. Otherwise, we will miss our train.” Mom said, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Will you both be fine to go alone?” I asked her worried. “Yes! We will be all right, and the station is near to this area right. We already called the taxi.” Mom replied. “I will note down the taxi number.” I mumbled, looking around the house. “Are you ok?” Mom asked, coming near me. I stared at her and hugged her saying, “I am!” “Looks like our taxi is here.” Aunt said, and I walked near her releasing Mom. “I miss you too Aunt.” I said, hugging her which I have never done in recent years. “Hmm...” She whispered patting my back
*Sudhir Pov* I just stood there in shock until the washroom door is closed. I started moving out, but I was again pulled back inside by her. “Woah! Where are you going?” Sanju asked, glaring at me. “Where do you think I am going?” I asked her back and released my hand from her hold to go again. “Are you mad? You can’t go outside.” She replied scolding me. “Didn’t you see who actually saw us? I can’t even think what must be she thinking of me.” I said looking at her. “I know! And that is pretty bad, but you can’t go outside.” She ordered. “But I need to explain that it is not what she thinks it is.” I said reasoning. “He will kill you and me if he sees you outside. Wait for some time.” She said pleading. “What is he doing here anyway?” I asked her leaning on the wash basin. “Why would I know?” She asked back calling someone. “He is your boyfriend so you should know.” I replied. “Must be for some new news or something.” She said shrugging. I stared at my watch and saw that
*Sudhir Pov* “You called me?” Sanju asked entering my cabin after knocking on the door. “Yes!” I replied, looking away from the system. “You need to go to my home.” I said, and she raised her eyebrows at me. “Why? Did you guys fought yesterday or what?” She asked frowning. “No! You have to go and tell her that I am not cheating on her.” I replied. “What are you doing here without clearing that misunderstanding with her?” She asked glaring this time. “I told her! I told her that I was not cheating on her.” I replied sighing. “What did she say?” She asked, sitting before me. “She said ok.” I replied, still frowning. “Ok?” she asked. “Ok!” I replied. “I will just go and talk to her.” She said getting up. When she left I continued to carry out my work and just hoped she will clear everything. I don’t want to be some cheating guy when I hate anyone cheating in the first place. *Nisha Pov* “I am bored!” Ayesha said yawning. “Tell me about it.” I said yawning back. “I want t
*Nisha Pov* “So how was your day today?” I asked Ayesha when she returned from the camp in the evening. It’s been one week since she joined the camp and also for me since I joined cooking classes. “I drew a cake.” She said and immediately opened her bag. “It is beautiful Ayesha.” I said, looking at it. “Let’s place it on the refrigerator.” I said, and she nodded smiling. We both walked to the fridge and placed the paper on it using the magnet. We both smiled seeing it. “You should draw so many that it will be difficult for us to open the fridge.” I said looking at her. “Then where will we keep Ice creams?” She asked frowning. “You ask your Dad to buy another one.” I replied, and she laughed. “What did you learn today?” She asked, and I smiled at her. “How to make a cake.” I replied, and she grinned at me. “Make one for me.” She pleaded with those eyes, and of course I couldn’t say no to her. “Ok! Will you help me?” I asked her, and she nodded excitedly. I took all the co
*Nisha Pov* “Is your hand ok now?” That’s what he asked entering the house. As for me, I am reading some magazine sitting on the couch. I looked up and replied “It is fine. It’s been one week, so it healed properly.” “If you want more aloe vera gel, I can bring it from my room.” He said looking at me. “No! I am fine and the bottle you gave me before is enough.” I said, and he nodded. “You are not going to cooking class right?” he asked, sitting on the other end of the couch. “No, as you specifically said I shouldn’t go there until you say." I replied sighing. “Good!” He said and stared at my hand. “Why are you terrified of burns?” I asked him frowning. “Nothing...” He replied shaking his head. “Ok!” I said shrugging and continued to read the magazine. “Where is Ayesha?” He asked, and I turned to see that he is looking around. “She is in her room doing some task, she got in today’s camp.” I replied and again continued to read when he nodded. “I am terrified of those from t
*Sudhir Pov* After a few days, I am finally sitting work free on the couch watching a cricket match. Even though the workload reduced than the last year it is still piling over so much with the new clients and new projects. “Boring!” Ayesha said, sitting beside me. “Shall I put cartoon?” I asked her. “Yes!” She shouted excitedly. “Boring!” I said and continued to watch cricket. “You are mean Dad.” She said, and I glanced at her to see her pout. “And you are mean Daughter.” I said smiling. “Why?” She asked, frowning. “You are not letting me read any story to you from the past few weeks.” I replied shrugging. “If you can read me a story today, will you put cartoon?” She asked smiling. “After a few minutes I will.” I replied and turned to watch. “But I will not be here.” She whined. “Why? Today is Sunday, right?” I asked her frowning because I thought she has a holiday for camp. “Ayesha! Shall we go?” Nisha asked her walking towards us. “Where are you both going? Did I mi
