Chapter 88
"Are you for real?" I scowl at him and he hides his smile under his hand. He was seriously asking me about marriage? Marriage!?? Was he proposing to me? And why do I feel so good about it? Damn it!!!!
"Meera, eat your rice child. It will get cold." Aunt Suru says and I nod my head.
"Yes, Meera. Concentrate on eating." Dhruv adds in tune and I give him another scowl. He appears to be enjoying teasing me very much.
I take a spoonful of rice with paneer curry and put it in my mouth. The paneer immediately melts in my tongue and the curry adds up the requisite spice. A moan escapes my mouth and both Aunt Suru and Dhruv look at me.
"She likes it." Dhruv tells Aunt Suru and she smiles.
"Yes, it's really good. The quality of the paneer is amazing." I say and take another spoonful in my mouth.
"I made it myself." She

"You know what? You should work in mystery films. You will single handedly kill people with your suspense.""Yes, I know that. But I am happy with my business. Thank you very much. Now, let's go. If the digestion starts kicking in, you will feel sleepy and then we won't be able to have our trip.""Fine." I move up from the seat and we walk out of the mansion, with Blondie trailing behind. We all settle down inside the car and Boris starts to drive. Fifteen minutes later, we enter a residential area. Why are we here? A huge metallic black gate stands in our way and opens with a noise that startles me. The car moves inside and I look through the window to find several high-rise buildings. By the look of it, this place looks pricey and more or less a complex project. The land around stretches as far the vision goes and there are at least three separate parks, and one big swimming pool. Definitely fancy. The car moves a

"But maa! Meera has her own place now. Also, she has to work for long hours which means Sonia has to stay alone in the house. All alone. How unsafe is that for a little girl?" Lai asks and Aunty blinks. I guess she is able to get the point across Aunty's head. I also agree with it. I have to meet Dhruv, which will make Sonia stay alone in the house. Talking about my place to live, yes I took the house and now I am going to live in it. Surprised?I was surprised too when I made this decision. The house is very expensive and something I know I would never be able to earn on my own even if I sell my organs. That's how costly the villa is. I had searched it up in Google and all the data had my head spiralling. I wanted to hit Dhruv with a bat for buying me such an expensive thing. If he really wanted to give me a house, a small, average-prized house would have been okay. Damn, I would have even lived inside a hut. But no, he had to buy such an ex

"Woah! This is…" Laila's jaw hangs in the air as we enter inside the villa. "This is crazy! I mean, just looking at the house from outside takes my breath away."Sonia runs inside and her head moves around frantically, taking in the surroundings. "Sonia, be careful. Don't fall." I tell her and she nods her head obediently."Oh my god! There is light in the staircase." Lai adds and runs towards it to witness the miracle with her own eyes."Ahem. I believe someone told me that it is not possible." I tell her while putting my luggage down."But...how is this possible?" She looks back at me with wide eyes."We live in the twenty-first century. Technology is far advanced. Only because you and I haven't seen these kinds of things doesn't mean they don't exist.""Yeah, right. Does that mean Dinosaurs also exis

The doorbell rings and I close the fridge door to go fetch it. I reach to the living room to find Sonia opening the door with her hands. She was adamant that she had to do this job. But I wonder who it is since she looks up and kind of freezed in her place. I walk over to her and look outside to find Dhruv standing with a teddy bear in his hand. I don't know whether to feel shocked or laugh at the scene. He told me yesterday that he wants to give a visit. I told him to feel free to come today since Lai has gone to that crazy nursery school for her job, and it's only me and Sonia. I had intercepted that they would meet each other, but I had no clue they would meet in this way.Sonia runs behind me and peeks, holding my dress tightly. I pat her head. "It's okay baby. He is–eh–a good guy." I don't understand how I should address him in front of her. As a friend? Is he a friend? I don't think so. Is he a boyfriend? The thought makes m

My face remains stoic as I let Laila even though I wanted her to live outside for the day. Like, what the fuck is happening? Why is everyone literally hell-bent to join the party today? And most of all, why the hell is Laila doing her moonwalk again? As said, she throws her bag on the floor and does the moonwalk all the way to the living room and then sings Taki Taki in wrong lyrics. I join her before she freezes in her spot as she witnesses two people sitting in the living room looking at her with wide eyes.She regains her composure and clears her throat. "Eh...Hi.""Hello Miss Sharma." Dhruv says, his beautiful but wide eyes telling me that he is still not over the shock of what he saw a few seconds ago.Lai gives a nervous chuckle. "I didn't know that you came today.""I just came a few minutes ago.""Oh, oh. Nice, nice. Make yourse

We talk for a while and I honestly get somewhat sad with his divided attention. When he and I are present, he gives all the attention to me. And now there is Sonia and Lai, who is literally not stopping with her waterfall of questions. But his concise answers give her the idea that he is not a person to talk that much. I don't mind my little Sonia spending her time with him. She looks very happy and I am happy about that. But sometimes I feel like I cannot talk or crack jokes with him in private. Or just have him stare at me like he usually does. Why am I thinking all of this? Why do I even want his attention in the first place? Ain't I being just too selfish?Dhruv doesn't spend much time with us since he has work to do. Why? He moves up from his seat and even though Sonia tells him to stay a little longer, he refuses politely, patting her head. Maybe the reason I am jealous is because Sonia has the freedom to be touched by him and I don't.

I gasp at her words. "What! But why?""It is because even if you show your love, not telling it means not considering it at all. This will give the next person the impression that you care for them but not anything more than that.""Wait a minute, love? I don't—" I hesitate. I don't love him, right? Love is a deep word to even start with."Leave it. Let's get some food. I bought some vegetables from the market. Can you make something out of them?""Hmm. Bring the packet here." She brings the packet before I start putting the vegetables on the kitchen island and see what I can make out of them. Yet my head revolves around what Lai said a few minutes ago. Will I lose him if I don't tell him my feelings?***********The next day, Eleanor calls me to her office very early and I give Lai the responsibility to take care of Sonia.

Dhruv's POV"Boris, make sure my suit is ready for today. I will be home by four in the evening." I tell him and he bows his head. I have told Sia to get my schedule ready today. I had plans to take Meera out,but thanks to my family, it is all ruined now. Yet, I am glad that I still get to spend my time with her. I had told Eleanor about the change in plans and she agreed to do all the arrangements. Though I don't have a clue on what arrangements she was talking about because Meera needs none. A beauty like her can bewitch people with anything. I loved her choice of wearing a saree when I took her to meet my family. One of the things I love about her. She knows what she needs to do. I don't understand why she keeps telling me that she is not good enough to earn a luxury like the one I have gifted her. A woman like her can make anything stand worth millions. She has the brains for it. I need to show her how smart she is. And how brave.
