*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
*Nisha Pov* I woke up hearing my phone blazing near my ear. I frowned lifting it up and said, “Hello!” “You are still sleeping?” Pavani shouted from the other side. “I am just sleeping and you need not shout at me like that.” I said groaning. “Get up and get ready fast.” She said and I immediately sat up. “Why? Is something wrong?” I asked her frowning. “No! But today there is some prayer for the new house or something. My Mom asked me to call my friends, and I have already called Rajeev.” She replied. “Now?” I asked her looking at the clock to see that it is just 6. “You need to be here at 8.” She replied. “Then why are you calling me at this time?” I asked her whining. “Because I want you to get ready beautiful and wear a Saree. You look really good in that or that’s what I think, and Rajeev will pick you up sharply at 7:30.” Saying that she hung up. I rolled my eyes and started getting ready. If I don’t wear a Saree, then she will kill me for sure so I chose one and fini
*Sudhir Pov* “That is cheating.” Ayesha said, frowning at me. “That is not at all cheating.” I said, moving my game piece near the ladder and immediately got three rows up. “You are cheating with the dice.” She said whining. “It is not my mistake that you are getting eaten by snakes.” I said shaking my head. “So playing snakes and ladders?” Nisha asked, walking to the couch. “Yes! And he is cheating.” Ayesha replied, pointing me. “That’s very bad Sudhir.” Nisha said, shaking her head. “Hey! I am not cheating.” I said, looking at both of them. “Here I will throw the dice for you.” She said taking it from Ayesha and threw it. “Big ladder!” Ayesha suddenly jumped in excitement after counting the numbers, and I sulked in my place. “Play more.” Ayesha urged her. “Actually, I need to go somewhere.” Nisha said guiltily. “Where?” I asked her frowning. “I am going outside to a movie with my friends. It was planned last week, and I think I forgot to inform you.” She replied. “Oh!
*Nisha Pov* “Wake up, Ayesha!” I said waking her up but yawning myself. Today is so cold and it is even clouded. I am feeling so lazy myself, so I can’t say anything to Ayesha for not getting up. “Please, Ayesha. We both will get late.” I said, massaging her hair. “I want to sleep.” She said slowly opening her eyes. “Even I want to but we both also don’t want to skip our classes’ right.” I said yawning. “How about we both sleep early today?” I asked her, and she nodded getting up finally. She got ready while I too started getting ready. I walked downstairs to find that Sudhir is preparing our breakfast. “I would have done that right.” I said walking inside the kitchen. “I know the weather is so cold and Ayesha will wake up late, but you managed not to let her, so I decided to do this.” He explained and continued to make it. “Even I was feeling lazy.” I said yawning again. “Today it is surprisingly cold.” He said nodding. “Oh, no!” I said, looking outside the window after f
*Nisha Pov* “Nisha!” I heard him calling from downstairs because of which I woke up from my early sleep. “What?” I asked, walking outside my room. “I have searched everywhere but I can’t find Ayesha.” He replied. “She is with me and we both are sleeping so don’t disturb us.” I said and walked inside my room. “Why is Dad calling you?” Ayesha said yawning. “He is searching for you everywhere. But I told him that you are here.” I replied, and she nodded while I lay down on my bed beside her. She hugged me and drifted off into sleep. I smiled remembering how she walked inside my room directly when I suggested we take a nap after finishing our works. I hugged her back and slid off into sleep patting her slowly. I woke up again after some time hearing my phone ringing. “Hello!” I said, lifting the call. “We can’t come to India this week.” I heard all too depressing voices of my brother’s. “And I am not going to kill you for that so don’t worry.” I said smiling. “But I want to ki
*Nisha Pov* I woke up hearing the door bell groaning. Who is it at this time? I thought getting up. First of all, what time is it actually! I thought and turned to see that it is only 5am. I am going to get rid of whoever it is. I got up and immediately hissed feeling my feet hit some stool. When did some stool start staying in my room and that too on my side of the bed? I looked around and remembered that this is actually his room, and as he asked I came here to stay. I need to ask him why he wants me to be. Does he want our relationship to make progress? However, he said we are friends right. I thought walking outside the room and tied my hair into a bun. Maybe he wants even more than that from our relation. I smiled a little hoping that the reason is something like that. I am not saying I will be on cloud nine hearing that, but I will surely feel hope again, which I left a few months back completely without a doubt. With that new thought, I opened the door and looked at th
