Chapter 7: chapter 7

Yamini was overwhelmed by her friend's surprise given to her. She mentally thanked god for giving her such friends in her life. She was in deep thoughts when she felt someone calling her name.She immediately came back to her senses and found Puja calling her "Yams... what happened what are you thinking...cut the cake now"She obediently nodded her head and took the knife from Puja's hand and chopped the cake while Puja and Darek sang for her. After that she at first fed the cake to Puja then to Darek. She finally asked Puja "So this was all your plan hah...dinner and all?" Puja nodded her head and replied "And who could else be... I very well knew that you'll not agree to celebrate your birthday and moreover surprising you wasn't my plan it was all Darek's...he wanted to do this for you so he asked my help and the way he told me to do I did"She saw him and again thanked him "Thank you so much Darek for doing this much... I never expected you would come here just to surprise me""Oh common Yams....it's not a big deal and moreover I was craving for this moment since when. It's been so long since I haven't seen you guys and this Puu she was literally blackmailing me to break this relationship if I don't show up this month...so you know" he said while giving a sarcastic smile towards Puja.She rolled her eyes over this while Yamini got surprised she narrowed her eyes towards her and asked "Is it so Puu? You literally blackmailed him?"She made a grumpy face and replied "Ya ya whatever..now please you both don't start making a fuss out of it""Hey I'm not making any fuss" he said while making faces. Yamini smiled at their cute fights and when she saw that their arguments were not stopping she came like a peacemaker and said "Stop it guys... don't forget it's not our house it's a public place. What will others think...so chill"They agreed and after that she ordered dinner for evryone and told them that she will pay for it as it's her treat. First they did not agree but gradually they had to give up before her stubbornness.They were done with their dinner and then they came out of the restaurant while Puja went along with Darek and Yamini came back to her place.She entered inside and found her food already being served on the table. She understood that her maid surely must have arranged it. She bit her tongue for her stupidity and said to herself "shit I totally forgot to inform aunty about dinner...now surely she will get angry tommorow"Shrugging her thoughts she went towards her room and got freshen up for her bed. Before sleeping it was her daily habit to read some books and today also she was doing the same when suddenly her phone ranged.She got confused as who could that be and that also calling at this hour. She quickly picked up her phone from the table and saw that her family lawyer from India advocate Vishwas was calling her. She thought in her mind "Vishwas uncle...why is he calling me now...umm let's see"Without wasting anymore time she picked up the call and said "Hello Vishwas Uncle"From the other side a deep voice came "Hello Yamini beta...how are you?"She replied with a soft smile "I'm fine uncle...how are you? And did anything happened?"He replied " Yeah beta I called you because I wanted to inform you something related to you ancestral house there in Bhopal"She asked with a serious tone "Yes tell me what is it?"He said "Beta after you went some local people were keeping an eye on your house as they got the information that nobody stays there...so recently they tried to occupy that place and even they have filed a petition claiming that house as theirs and due to that a case has been filled so for that I need you to come here once with all the documentation of the property papers of that house"She got astonished hearing this...she wasn't able to understand what she should reply still she said "But uncle I have work here I just cannot come here all of a sudden and morover you know very well so much happened there...so I don't want to go there anymore"He got disappointed hearing this still he tried his best to convince her "But beta....you just cannot let go of this house like that only...you know right beta how much struggle your dad did to build this house can you let go of your father's last memory like that?" She became speechless hearing that, for a moment she remembered about her father while tears made their way inside her eyes. She was lost in her thoughts when he said "Beta..look you're also like a daughter to me and your father was my very good friend. I have seen him struggling so much to build everything just for you and your good future. I also admit that whatever happened was all disastrous but beta you'll have to let go of your past someday or the other. Please beta just for once you come and try to save the last thing you have here and rest I assure you victory will be yours. No one can snatch what is yours but for that you'll have to come here with all the proof otherwise I'll not be able to save anything. Please give it a thought" She just hummed in reply and then said "Okay uncle I'll let you know my decision by tommorow""sure beta...okay then you take care goodnight" he said while she replied "Same to you too uncle.. goodnight" after that she disconnected the call and thought in her mind "What should I do? Should I go back to India? Have to discuss this with Puu tommorow..."
