“Mai Ghar aa gyi” I shouted in the hall. “Kyun aa gyi kisne kaha tha ?” Agastya said being annoyed.

{ I am back home }

{ Why did you came, who asked you to come ?}

“Kyunki ye mera ghar hai isliye or tune kyu sade hue tamatar jaisi shakal bana rakhi hai” I said with my hands resting on my waist.

{ Because this is my House and why have you made your face like a rotten tomato?}

He just shook his head in annoyance. “Diiii.... aap usko choro or mujhe ye question smjha do!!” Shivya said with a pencil in her messy bun. That's when I understood that they have their Maths Olympiad tommorow.

That's why aggu was making faces. Because he doesn't like distractions. I just hummed and sat on the sofa solving her question.

After solving her query, I took my bag and headed towards my room where I saw Mumma coming with plate in her hand from Rudraksha Bhaiya's room.

“Mumma!!” I said hugging her. “Oh, you're back, go and freshen up , dinner is ready. ” Mumma said. “Mera mann-- Mann se keh do baad mein nautanki karega abhi chup-chap neeche aa jao” Mumma interrupted in between before I could complete knowing I was denying.

I was coming back when I peeped inside Arya Bhai's room he was busy solving his chemistry workbook. What happened to all of them?? I just shook my head.

At dining table

Mumma served us food. Us means only me , papa, chote papa, bade mama, chote Mama. Later on mumma, choti ma ,badi  mami , choti mami also joined us.

Today everyone was studying. Arya Bhai has a test in chemistry tommorow, Lakshi di and Rudraksha Bhaiya had their first presentation in college, Agastya and Shivya were preparing for their Maths Olympiad and Yatharth and Aarav were preparing for their English Elocution tommorow.

They all had their dinner before me. Kya matlab ek mai hi Bina kisi kam-kaj ke baithi hun. Avyansh will also have his test tomorrow. I didn't knew about it or I would have denied for coffee. I wasted his lot of time.

When I went to the hall, everybody was sitting there because Papa had called. I gave the bottle of oil to choti mami and sat beside her. She was applying oil to my hair then Papa said with an uninterested look “ Tomorrow by evening my sister is coming after 5 years.”

My anger fumed hearing this. Everybody was looking at eachother. “Whyyyy Papa??? Did you forgot what she did ?” Rudraksha Bhaiya said.

“No Rudraksha, she just want to meet us , she says she's missing us, I know she's lying but still. I can't deny to her. I promised your grandfather to look after her.” Papa said trying to convince Rudra Bhaiya.

I know he'll convince him. “That doesn't matter if you have forgotten it or not. But I haven't, She's not coming here at any cost.” I said. “But Aady--No means No. You're denying her. End of the discussion now.” I interrupted in between not letting him complete.

I know he hasn't forgotten anything yet. But he's doing it for the sake of the promise given to my grandfather. I'm his daughter and it's my prior duty to let him get hurt.

She was the reason we left Bengaluru. Where I had a lot of memories and my marshmallow too. If she hasn't done that we won't have shifted to Delhi.

“ No Aadu, we need to say her yes at any cost yk. ” Mumma said pointing at my Choti Ma,Chote Papa, mama and mami which is noticeable by me only.

I understood what she meant. Even if we deny she'll come and put all the blame on my mother and them, then create a nice scene here claiming that her brother forgot her because they did some kala jadu on him.

I don't want her to create any scene. Because I don't want lakshi di, Aarav, Shivya, Yatharth to get hurt because of her.

“Ok, let her come but I won't be quiet if she says something nonsense.”I said and moved towards my room.

I opened the door and my eyes went to the box which I got from the restaurant.

I sighed and opened the box. I opened the letter and read

“Perhaps the person you are looking for has already came or is going to but in a twisted way.”

Is this letter referring to someone?? Who's gonna come ?? Maybe Marshmallow.

I kept it in my diary safely and grabbed my headphones to soothe my ears. I opened Spotify and played Ye tune Kya kiya.

I opened my eyes. I didn't knew how time flew this faster. I checked my phone it was 11:46 pm.

I went outside just to see everyone has drifted off to sleep except for Rudraksha Bhaiya and Lakshi di because the lights are still on. I know they're not sleeping.

I made my way towards kitchen. I made Ginger tea for Rudraksha Bhaiya and Lakshi di. As they must be tired. Perfection is something bhaiya loves and neither he'll sleep himself nor let di until his presentation is perfect.

I knocked on the door. “Yes, come in” I heard Bhai. Their eyes were fixed on the door. I entered inside with the tray and saw di rubbing her eyes and yawning.

“You're still awake?!” Rudraksha Bhai asked. “No..I was asleep but I woke up and thought that since I am up now, I should make tea for both of you.” I lied because I was not sleeping but busy listening to music.

“Awww... you're shoo sweet, mela baccha. Kitni acchi hai tu , tune Mere baare mein itna socha or yek ye hai sone hi nhi Jane de raha” Didi tried to say it in her baby voice giving side eye to bhai .

“Ho gaya tera, toh chai pee or kaam kar. Aadu, yaha par rakh de or jaake soja.” Bhai said but di asked me to convince him through her eyes. I sighed and said “ Bhai let di, go and sleep and you too. It's too late.” He tried to say “Aadu par -- Pleaseee ”. Fine go.

I smiled playing with his hairs which only I was allowed to touch. “Tujhe nhi lagta, tu iss kutte par jyada pyaar luta rhi hai” di said fuming in jealousy with Bhai.

{Don't you think so, you're showing too much love to this dog }

“Chal..Chal” Bhai said. He kept his head on my lap and I slowly massaged his head. I didn't use oil or he'll screw me.

After few minutes, he opened his eyes. “Aadu, what did Aleena Miss said that day?” He asked. Tears immediately covered my eyes. “Nothing Bhai she was just humiliating as always.” I said and his face fell.

I know he can't tolerate anyone talking to me in this tone but Aleena Miss is a different case.

Soon Bhai drifted off to sleep and I also came back to my room and slept.

Next morning

Today, I won't go to school as I need to go for shopping with everyone for our special guests.

I went inside the bathroom and had a quick shower. Today I wore pink kurti with floral design on it pairing it with white plazo. I kept my hair open and applied sunscreen.

Everyone was going to leave soon. They were having their breakfast. It was poha for today.

Everybody was gathered in the hall after the breakfast. I wished luck to all of them.

But I saw Rudraksha Bhai approaching me and bending on his knees. He touched my feet with his forehead, followed by Arya Bhai, Agastya, Yatharth and Aarav leaving me in tears.

“Bless us to do our best!!” Rudra Bhai said smiling. It was not new for me but special as always. They are practicing it since childhood. They used to touch my feet on every occasion, no matter it was small or big.

I just wiped away my tears and smiled widely. I was scrolling through my phone when suddenly incidents from tomorrow flashes my mind.

What was going on between Arya Bhai and Zoya? Why were they holding hands? I thought to talk about it with Bhai.

“That chemistry teacher is so foolish!! How can he give that question when he didn't taught about it?” Arya said the same thing for the 100th time.

“Bhai tu sunn bhi raha hai mai kya keh raha hun ? ” Nhi  I said.

I was finding Aadya in the cafeteria but she was nowhere to be found. “Aadya nahi aayi hai kya aaj?” I finally asked him. “Nhi woh aaj humaari kaleshi bua aa rahi hai to woh mumma ki help kar rahi hai ” he said.

“Oh, ok then give these physics notes to her. Actually I took it to complete my previous work.” I said. I don't know why but I wasn't feeling good.

I wanted to talk to her. About what even I don't know?? But still I'm desperate to talk to her but why???

Yes, I know what I want to. This question is still lingering in my mind. Is something bothering her or it's just me thinking too much.

“Btw what's going on between you and Zoya?” I asked noticing him admiring her. “Umm.. what do you mean by between me and her. There's nothing between us, It's just she's my sister's BestFriend so I know her. ” he said stuttering.

“So why are you stuttering?”
