Turn Around!
Part-15:
Next Day Morning- (Sunday):
Arjun knocked the mother's door.
Ayesha shouted sleepily, "Coming!"
She got up and adjusted her shirt and hair before went to the door.
She opened the door and asked drowsily, "Wha...t?"as she scratched her head and yawned.
Once saw who was standing there the yawn stopped short and she moved her jaw with her hand to close the mouth.
She shook her head once to throw her sleep away and said, "Sirr!"
"I just came to say to get ready," he said quietly, "Wargade is sleeping now. Take bath before he wakes up!"
"Ok, sir!"
"Wake her up and warn her not to make a sound till the first coffee!"
She nodded and her gaze went to Sakshi unknowingly.
"What? Is she over hearing?"
He asked as his gaze followed her.
But Sakshi was sleeping there soundly on her stomach.
"Right, wake her up after five minutes!"
He smiled and said before left.
As though to make his words true Sakshi did not make a sound till the first, no second, not up to the third coffee.
From 'after that five minutes', Ayesha was still waking her up.
"Sakshi, it's 07:30, now! We are in Wargade's house!"
"Mm..."
Sakshi turned to her side and put her palms under her neck as she started sleeping again.
Ayesha decided to use her last weapon then.
"Good morning, sir!"
"I'm Sakshi, but anyway Good Morning!"
Sakshi said from her sleep.
Ayesha sighed as her last weapon too failed her.
She thought about pouring a bucket of water first then decided to try again.
"Sakshi, see Arjun sir is here! He wants to-"
Before she could finish, Sakshi came to a sitting position like a spring and was trying hard to open her eyes.
"Take your seat sir, she will open her eyes soon!"
Ayesha was telling.
Eventually, Sakshi opened her eyes as she adjusted her night shirt and pants.
She turned her eyes towards the chair and blinked.
She turned to Ayesha and still was blinking.
Ayesha smiled and said, "Good morning, Sakshi!"
"Oh, you ruined my dream, Ayesha!"
"What, a duet scene?"
"More like one! We were going to a bangle shop!"
"Yee, in a dream too?"
"What's shame in it, Ayesha? You ve to purchase some essentials before you start a duet, don't you see that?"
"If he comes here once now, then it'd be a stunt scene not a duet!"
"Why should he come, see, I got up!"
"But he said, you had to get ready!"
"When?"
"When he came here at 05:30 this morning!"
Sakshi looked shocked to the core and adjusted her dress once again in reflex.
"What Ayesha, why didn't you wake me up?"
"He said to wake you after a five minutes time once he saw you sleeping like a buffalo!"
"He said so?"
She asked with a glare.
"No!"
"You could have woken me up Ayesha,"
She got down from the bed and moved toward the bath room.
"But I was trying the same for hours now!"
She was explaining, but Sakshi closed the bath room door behind her.
Ayesha smiled and called me.
"Ayesha, where are you?"
"Why, in our room!"
"Sir is coming there. I thought to call you, but you called!"
"Oh God! Shree she just now woke up!"
"Then you come first, I try to stop him!"
"Good luck!"
Ayesha knocked the bath room door and said to Sakshi that she was going there first and she should come there as soon as possible.
"Ok, got it!"
We were in the hall then as Ayesha came alone and stood against a wall leisurely.
Arjun looked me significantly. I searched seriously the whole hall for Sakshi dramatically and turned to Arjun again as though to say it was accidental that Sakshi was missing in the scene.
Wargade came in with a tray. He saw Ayesha standing alone and leaning against the wall.
Once he saw her, she raised a hand as though to say 'hello!'
His tray shook in terror. Before anything happened to the 'Cutting Chai!', I took the tray from his hands, for the fear that it would end like, 'adding fuel to the already flaring fire!'
I first served Arjun the tea, then took a coffee cup and started pouring coffee into it.
I was filling the last cup when I felt water drops on my other hand.
I casually lifted my head and saw that Sakshi was standing there with Ayesha, before I could sigh in relief- 'Oh God!' I saw her combing her wet hair with her hand.
Everyone in the room including Ayesha, whose face was ghost- pale, was watching her for some time now, I got it.
I could not decide what to do next.
That was when Arjun called my name in a harder tone.
It shattered everyone's trance and I turned to see that I was still pouring coffee into the already filled cup for some time now.
I stopped pouring then and muttered, "Sorry!"
Sakshi said, "Why are you looking at me like a devil, in fact I'm one!"
She laughed dramatically at herself as she flashed a look towards Arjun.
