Chapter 65
I walk towards the entrance of the park where my destiny awaits me. Okay! Too dramatic, I believe. Dhruv told Eleanor that we are supposed to meet here, in South Central Park and I agreed. I like parks and Greenery and especially the water bodies, if present. Someone can certainly suggest that I go to a beach. I love beaches too. But beaches have a lot of sand. I don't like sand. Hence, park it is. Or maybe a house pool.
I see Dhruv looking ahead at the lake and the sun shines over him, making his straight face glow. Strangely, he is not wearing any formals but a brown hoodie with grey pants. Hmm. I rarely see him in casuals. What is up with him? I chose to wear casuals too because you can't be spotted wearing a dress in a place like this. Well, whatever his reason is, I'm just glad he chose this place.
I stand next to him. "Hi." He looks at me, his eyes scanning my look. It kind of makes me feel self conscious of m

One cannot say what life brings and certainly, my life is giving me hurricanes to deal with all of a sudden. With a lot of pressure in my head, I thought that my problems were only external. But never did I believe that I have a word problem. Like, how can I say 'okay' just like that to Dhruv's proposal. I swear I had a lot to say. Like a literal essay. Yes, it is that lengthy and I can tell because one entire page of my diary is filled with the explanations which are supposed to be my speech in front of him tomorrow."What are you doing?" Laila asks as she closes the door behind her."Mi is a student." Sonia says in her cute voice and Laila's eyebrows furrow. She looks at the diary in my hand."I didn't know that you journal your feelings." She scratches her dumb head."Ugh! No. I don't. And this is not my feelings…" I look at my disgusting handwriting wh

Eleanor stares ahead,with her chin resting on the junction of her interlocked hands. "Hmm. This is interesting.""You don't say." I flip the paperweight."Any particular reasons you were able to pick?""Nothing that I could seriously comprehend. He said that he wants me to genuinely like him." I shrug."That is strange. Mr. Saxena has been a very indifferent man to people's emotions. But then again, he chose you at a first glance when on the contrary,he is known for rejecting sugar babies in the call of a day." She says, her fingers getting back to their typing routine on the keyboard."I don't know. He just said it and it didn't seem like a lie.""He wouldn't lie about something like this. It is a very serious matter. Can be more or less considered as a direct proposal of affectionate interests. If the media gets a

The next day, I woke up from my bed and waited for Eleanor's call. She informed me earlier that Dhruv has planned another date between us. I don't mind that and I will be getting the pay, so that's what really matters. But other than that, what keeps revolving around my head is the memory of what Dhruv said a few days back. Whatever he meant by it, for some reasons, it made me feel good inside. I don't know if I am just being stupid or not. Because Dhruv's expressions appear very genuine and a person like me who is a walking lie detector did not catch a thing in my brain device.Sonia sleeps peacefully in front of me and I smile at her. Her health has automatically turned better after she came here. I cannot take her to a doctor right now because I don't have the money,but once I get this month's cut, I will make sure to give her a check-up. It is more because I am worried what kind of things Udipi made her consume. The mere thought of it mak

I look at the man sitting beside me through the corner of my eye. I usually don't feel like a pervert, checking out guys but this one is exceptional. He is really good looking and I can't help but steal some glances. Is he the one assigned to look after us? Hmm. He is wearing a formal black suit under a white shirt and a red tie. It enhances his blonde hair that is short and has a neat cut. I can tell he is from here."Hi! What's your name?" I ask in a jolly voice but all he does is stare out of the video and does not respond. I grunt. Such arrogance. Nowadays, I can see people worse than Dhruv on the street including him. Not even a name? That is straight cut rudeness!"Don't worry, Meera. He is very professional with his work. It is more because of beautiful women being Sugar babies, he keeps his voice to himself. Or he knows he will drift away." David says from the front seat."Oh. I be

Dhruv does not revolt for once when I pull him towards another ride and then another. He strangely remains silent and there is no hint of him being angry. And I feel powerful. Since Dhruv did not make any contact with me but rather I did, it does not break the clause of the contract. Not that I am interested in holding his hand or anything. He just looks a bit pale and lost in this amusement park which makes me come to this assumption that he is not used to living like this. And rides nauseate him. Plus, blondie here is in no shape to take care of him. He looks like he is lost in his own world and hardly pulling through."You should have told me earlier that you don't like rides." I say and he flushes."I—they are childish. I don't understand the concept of enjoying something like that." He defends and I chuckle."Come on. They are not that childish. But I do respect your point. Not
Being His Chapter 71
The journey to my house is peacefully silent. No one makes a noise or tries to start a conversation. And strangely, it does not feel required at this moment either. Dhruv looks past his side of the window without spilling a word. I do the same, but my thoughts are more or less focused on our moment on the Giant wheel. It felt too magical to be true. Did I fall asleep and dream about it? I don't know. The mixed emotions induced from the incident render me silent and blondie behind... Well, he does not even fall into the context. No one can tell that he is sitting behind our seat.Dhruv was sceptical about taking him along because it is weird. But since rules are rules, he had to. I seriously don't get the concept of having someone like him with us to keep a watch. What are we? Five year old kids? Though the fact that we went into an amusement park, and Dhruv bought a bag full of potato chips proves the above statement. He offered to give both

"You know what happened??!!!" Lai screams and squeals to the extent that I have to close my ears shut. These are the times I feel my future will be deaf, if not blind."Stop it! First of all, how would I know? Secondly, you are screaming too much! If Aunty hears you another time, the fate of your day will be spent in the hands of scrubbing dishes and cleaning the floor. Do you want that?"Laila gasps. "Yeah, yeah. You are right. I just got one day to relax. I can't do household work." Her eyes grow wide and look in space."Exactly, my point. Now spill all the details, from head to butt. Did any guy try hitting on you?" I wiggle my somewhat existing eyebrows. If Eleanor and her torturous team of hell did not fix, I would have to question their entire existence resting on my forehead. I have to give them the credits for that. Farming eyebrows in barren land is not an easy job.&
Being His Chapter 73
Dhruv calls me at night, after I go through the net to look for a job for Laila and we come to the conclusion that she should try out teaching nursery students because she loves kids. He tells me about her next date which is tomorrow, which unfortunately also collides with the day Laila is going for her first job interview. Now, knowing this girl, I cannot leave her alone on her own. Or else the interview staff will kick her out in a second. So I came up with a plan."Uh, can we make this a bit early this time?" I ask and squeeze my eyes in anticipation of what his reply would be."Early? But why?" He asks from the caller's end, and clear disappointment reflects in his voice."Eh... it's because one of my friends has an interview tomorrow so I have to really go with her. It is really important for her future." An exhale comes from the other side and there is a moment of silence. A silence that s
