part 5.
"bhaisaab.. see finally our family is getting complete.. all our kids r here with us.." baba said with full enthusiasm...
"yes I can see and that is why I have kept a small get together on their arrival"...
Ohhh nooo party... being so excited about coming back home It went completely out of my mind that now surely baba would throw a party for us and we have to bear all the drama...
But I never expected this thing coming from Bade papa... sometimes I hated calling him papa.. but do I have any choice in front of maa.. no never...
"but baba.. its not possible I m not feeling well due to all this travelling... jetlag has realy taken over me" I tried to reason out...
In response I got a dead glare from maa.. well nandu was there to save me...
"tara meant if party is today then we both will get realy tired... so bade papa may we keep the party later.."
" do not worry kids ... party is tomorrow and not today... Tara you should listen to the person before reacting..."
Ufff he was so right why I go hyper about everything... now I was feeling so ashamed...
"ooo thank you bade papa for the gesture.."
"you r most welcome.."
Now I have to really learn to be more social from nandu... as she always was... one quality of nandu I always admire was she will never show if she dislikes a person.. she remains as friendly as she can..
I gave a * thank you for saving me* look to nandu.. and as a elder sister she assured me...
"choti maa I hope my parathas r ready" nandu said eyeing towards the kitchen..
"no dear... I wanted to serve he parathas hot so I haven't started preparing.. you both get fresh and until then they will be ready.."
"thankyou choti maa" we both said in unison and ran to our room to get fresh...
As always nandu won the race to enter the bathroom first and I was left behind fuming... no problem till then I decide to get my wardrobe ready..
Things which I left behind here were still there... some clothes.. my books.. and srk's poster ...
I opened my bag and took out the pic of the person I go all gaga over...
MRITUNJAY SINGH SHEKHWAT the eldest son of this house... The only suitable heir of this empire.. as I will describe him...
Elder by 3 years to adi and by few months to yug and rudra... and being eldest he was there to save us all whenever we get into problems...
I was in 9th standard wen we all kids went to see a movie... In the movie they showed how the hero saved the heroin from eve teasing and then they fell in love...
Next day while playing in the garden some teenege boys were checking me out and were passing bad comments on me ... mritunjay came near me and was ready to fight with those boys.. but yug came in between and saved the whole chaos..
And I thought as mritunjay saved me from those bad people so we will also fall in love... what I stupid love story... But gradually I did fell in love...
Sometimes I used to feel that this feeling for him is just coz he cares for me or just coz I m near him.. but this five years of separation did wonders on mind to realize that I was indeed in love with him and I guess he has same feelings for me...
What if he does not feel the way I feel for him..?
"that's not true"I came back from my trance with a jerk to see yug standing at the door...
"I have seen him missing you..."
"he may be missing me as friend.."
" you do not keep valentine cards for your friends on every 14th feb."
I looked at him dumbstruck.. should I believe this...
"tara ..stop staring me like.."
"you r serio..."
I was choking... again I went mum...
" now mritunjay is really going to kill me for this"
"whats the use of all this yug... when I was leaving five years ago he was not present to see me off .. he behaved as if he never cared... "
"you know he was so upset after you went away... he would never let you go if it were in his hands.."
"he should have asked me atleast once.. I was ready to stay back..."
"he very well knew and that is why he never told you... it was baba's decision and he cannot go against it..."
Tears were running down my cheeks.. I was not able to control myself... I was feeling helpless...
"tara you have to trust him... "
"I do yug but he never speaks up"
"it is his inborn problem... As you are back noe.. you have to fight a big battle to take it out from his mouth... and I know you can do this..."
"seriously" I asked between my sobs...
