Karan
I woke up early because of the noise in the house, I glanced at the watch, it's only 6:30, and who decided to ruin my sleep??
I annoyingly left the bed and made my way to the living room, finding Esha was running here and there and Siya was after her with a glass of green juice in her hand. Every maid was silently giggling at them when they saw my furious face. They instantly went to do their work.
"Esha! Stop it now! Drink this!" Siya shouted at her.
"No, Mommy! I won't!" She was again running in the opposite direction when I caught her from her waist, not letting her go this time.
"Daddy!"
"Thank you, Karan, for catching this little roadrunner, " Siya said, walking towards her.
"Daddy, leave me fast!
KaranI instantly hurried from my office after my sister Kaya informed me that mom's health has been critical and they took her to the hospital. She was fighting cancer for the past 2 years and she is in the last stage, doctor has warned us earlier about this, "Your mother hasn't much time left." Like a month ago.When I reached out of the hospital, my brother Sunny was waiting for me in the lobby, we quickly ran to the staircase because elevators were run out of order.Surely the elevators chose the best timing to test my patience and anger when I am in rush to see my ill mom.Finally, we reached in front of her room, taking a deep breath, I headed in, finding my mom on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face whereas my father and sister were sitting beside her, holding her hand."Maa." my voice came out as an audible whisper, all eyes turn on me but I smiled weakly when
SiyaLaying my novel aside on the bed, I came downstairs to the living room, after hearing my parents shouting at each other whereas my twin sister Adah was standing at the corner of the room, crossing her hands around her chest.I took the last steps slowly, observing the situation."What happened?" I inquired, catching their attention on me.My dad sat on the sofa, annoyingly while Mom gave me a worried look. "Ask your sister!" Dad said.I move my head towards her as I called her name in short form, "Ady?""It's nothing, Siya, our parents got a bad habit of making a fuss out of nothing." She responses with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.Mom shot her a glare, "You mean to say, we are the one who makes a fuss? huh? and what you think you are doing?!' She exclaims."Tell me, what on earth I've had done wrong, Mom? I just wa
Siya"Now, it's time for makeup," My mom's sister Reshma aunty says, showing the bag filled with makeup products."No, aunty, you know na, I hate the heaviness and taste of makeup a lot.""I am not telling you to eat them, also you have to look like a fairy today, it's your wedding.""So what? Ain't I am looking fairy enough already?!" I argued."No, you are not, ""Aunty-" She interjected me."If you love your aunty you will use them."I sighed defeated, "FINE."It's been a couple of weeks since I am preparing myself for this day, I never knew that I am not able to choose the man whom I want to marry, no one cares for my opinion, thanks to my sister, she runs away because she is a girl and I stuck here at her place because I am a girl the difference of thin line between us is she only thought about hersel
SiyaMarriage was almost done since we both took the seven vows around the holy fire pond as he tied the mangal sutra around my neck with sindoor between my hair partition, not knowing if we were going to fulfill them or not."We will miss you," Sanaya said with a sad smile on her lips."I will miss you too." We shared a hug."Make sure to visit here regularly, after all, it's your home." She added.I smiled, "I know.""Karan son, please take care of our only daughter, we have grown her with lots of love and care," Dad spoke, taking his hands in his.What dad meant by only?Karan gives an assuring squeeze to dad, "Don't worry, Kamal sir, your daughter is in safe hands.""Thank you so much.""And, Adah, you remember our talk, right?" Mom asks me in a hushed tone.
SiyaLast night I may have fallen asleep faster out of my tiredness but I slept in the position of big animals who are forced to sleep in the small cages. Sleeping on the cough was surely the worst choice I made in a while. It has given me a stronger ache in my neck, arms, back, and legs, in short, everywhere.Stretching my arms to release some of my pain didn't help much as I got up, freshen up, and off to the living room."Bhabhi sa woke up early." Sunny stated, seeing me, Suddenly I got a neck ache. When I moved my head to glance at him, I squinted my visions in pain."Are you okay?" Maa sa asks."Yes, I guess," I replied.
SiyaHe didn't even compliment me when he got to know I made all the food. How rude. But thanks to Adah di, she taught me western desserts. I remember during our summer vacation, we used to make crazy food and always ended up, messing around the kitchen and our dresses. I chuckled, recalling those sweet memories.Sitting on the sofa, I picked up a random magazine that was on the teapoy. It's some sort of celebrity gossip story filled with nonsense. I tossed that aside in a duh way.I don't like gossip!Didn't they have any good novels to read rather than magazines and newspapers?Sighing, I on the tv, and except for the news no other channels are ther
KaranAfter the delicious night meal, I am feeling very heavy already, I seriously need to do the gym.Pulling out my jacket and losing a few buttons of my shirt, I sat on the bed comfortably yet relaxed. Mom directly made me sit at the dining table as I arrived, for dinner not even letting me change properly. But it was worth it.I checked my phone, 500 missed calls, and 100 messages from Rhea, regarding why I didn't invite her to my marriage, and why would I? If she would be there she must have made some kind of ruckus to break my marriage, for no reason.Dang, I didn't even invite her to my reception too. Even though Mom reminded me about her, I purposely avoided giving her my invitation card. I will be ver
SiyaWe came home a couple of hours before Party started, all the maids and butlers had already arranged everything."What you wish for, Karan sa?" I asked in a whisper tone. Realizing he was quiet throughout the trip yet he didn't even utter a word about any wish whereas we talked like crazy about it in the car."I didn't wish anything." He simply replied."Umm...why?""My previous wish is still pending, so I stopped believing in it ." That is all he said before Kaya interrupted us."Bhabhi sa, I need your help," Kaya said, pulling me to her room. Whereas others went to theirs, to get freshen and changed into something appropriate."What is it about?" I questioned."I am confused about what I should wear, I have so many dresses, gowns, and blah, blah." She replies, opening her wardrobe.In the morning, I
