CHAPTER ONE
ANUSHKA
"Wake up you sleepy head!" Devyani mumbled in her sleep as she could barely hear someone trying to break her out of her peaceful slumber.
Anushka sighed as watched her older sister trying to wake up the girl who slept like rock. Peeya would giggle when Devyani tossed around and would slap Alka dreamily, not enough to hurt her.
Well hello to those of you who do not know me, I am Anushka Shastri who is way too calm and collected as my sisters like to describe me. Well okay maybe I am, but someone has got to gear up and act mature for these girls I call my sisters. You do not need my description do you? It is the same old, black hair and brown eyes. Typical!
Enough about me now let me introduce you to my sisters. There is Alka didi who is a cheerful enthusiast and a desi filmy girl. She is very sweet and a prim and proper caretaker who we desperately need.
Then there is my youngest little doll, Peeya who is also known as Guddu. She is a little bundle of joy and happiness, so innocent that it would even put a baby to shame. If there is one person who no one can go up against then it would be her.
Last but never the least is the girl lying right over there dozing off as if she has hours to spare. Devyani is the queen of her own wishes and demands. She would keep secrets and her boosted confidence would make her the first one who would be ready for a fight.
Right now we are supposed to be up and get going with our packed bags to Delhi. Yeah you heard it right; we are going to a totally new place with totally new people. I wonder how we are going to cope. We have heard so much about the place that sometimes I am not sure whether I still live here in Kanpur. Sareen uncle, the best friend to our father, has even made arrangements for us to stay with him in his mansion. He is filthy rich I tell you, something that would need a lot of getting used to.
"Uh, just five more minutes please." Devyani drawled and snapped me back to reality.
"Okay didi I agree, you have to get up now or we will miss our flight." Peeya added shaking the sleeping girl.
Devyani paid no heed to our request and just tossed over in her half sleepy state. I shook my head in annoyance but smirked none the less. There was only one thing that would work now.
"Devyani you just have fifteen minutes for your makeup. You do not want to look like a ghost do you?" I called out teasingly and that did the trick. She shot out of her bed and ran straight for the bathroom slamming the door shut behind her. This left the rest of us giggling at her antics.
DEVYANI
I bounced up and down in my seat as Alka didi attended dad's call after every fifteen minutes. It annoyed me sometimes how he would worry over us, we were not kids for goodness sake. But I never complained, he was the only parent and all he had was the four of us. Peeya looked excitedly out of the window while Anushka tried to calm me down but in vain.
"Madam, please switch off you cell phone as it is time to take off." An air hostess requested and Alka didi bid quick farewell to dad and hung up on the phone. This lady smiled and left, she was pretty I thought. Huh, but I am prettier I smiled smugly flipping my hair.
The next hour and a half passed in a blur but it was not boring. My eyes were glued to the window as the person on the microphone went on about the temperature, happy journey and all that stuff. This place was amazing. Not poor or traditional kind of place but somewhere I dreamed to grow up in all my life.
This place excited me. I sprung up and was the first one to get off the airplane as I dragged Peeya out with me.
"Nice place." Alka didi smiled and pulled down her shirt awkwardly. I inwardly laughed at the uncomfortable expressions on my two elders' faces. This morning I had forced them to change into something more modern instead of their boring suits.
Alka didi wore blue skinny jeans with a button down green shirt tucked in and held by a thin neon green belt. She wore ballet flats with a cute little bow on top. Her makeup only consisted of nude gloss and kohl with mascara with her straight hair pinned up in a half bun. Anushka was harder to convince but still I got her to wear black skinny jeans with a colorful tee shirt and blue flip flops to go with it. Her pink glossed lips were pursed as she tugged at her silky long hair flowing down to her waist.
Peeya wore her white and red sundress and I wore pink pants and black top with ruffled sleeves. Ah, it doesn't matter what I wear, I'll look beautiful anyways.
Loading our luggage into a cab that had been pre booked for us, thanks to Sareen uncle, we took our places in the backseat. The driver had already been directed as he drove through the wide roads letting us enjoy the beauty of this new place.
The ride was silent and everyone was lost in their own thoughts. I wondered how our new house would be, or better yet, mansion. Sareen uncle lived in one of the posh areas of Delhi and with the perfect family. From what I have heard, he has a shopaholic wife with whom I'm sure I'll get along very well, and two amazing sons. One of them being 25 and the other was 22 years of age.
Poor Peeya, she would still be in the eleventh grade being 17 years of age. And Alka didi has already completed her college life two years back and now is 25 years old. Anushka and I have just an year's gap, her being 21 and me being 20, but we would be together through the university life.
The car came to a sudden halt, making me jerk and hit my head against the driver's seat. Before I could yell at him he ushered us out of the cab and unloaded our luggage in front of a huge house. When I say huge, I mean huge.
The fencing was high and held a beautiful metallic gate that curved into intricate designs. It was like one of those that you see in a movie and immediately fall in love with it. Looking past the green fence we gazed in awe at the fresh green grass and lush trees that bordered the fence. It was not a park rather a well maintained garden with bushes of exotic flowers. A cobblestone pathway led to the steps of the huge mansion. The majestic cream colored walls stood tall, casting a shadow as the sun lowered into the horizon. It had three sections to it. The one in the centre was wide and while the other two flanking its sides were long and more and covered more of the garden. It was not one with sloping roofs rather it was the one with a flat terrace. There were so many huge glass windows that glinted as the sun glared down them. A huge dark wooden door with big metallic handlebars marked the entrance to the grand house.
"Pinch me someone, I am surely dreaming." Alka didi fanned her face and sighed dreamily. I looked back at the massive house lost in a trance. Even Peeya stood there like a fool at the doorstep just staring at the house. Finally it was Anushka who stepped up and rang the doorbell.
The deep chimes echoed around the house and we stepped back. We could hear heels clicking against the floor as the person neared the door. More footsteps shuffled around the door and we held our breaths in anticipation of what awaited us as the polished door finally opened to welcome us in.
There you go, the first chapter! Now if someone would be kind enough to tell me how to update this story and post the next chapter then I would be grateful. Please review and tell me if you like it or not. Also there will be twists in the story one of them being this filthy rich Sareen family. The drama in this story is not boring, trust me it will be different and will make you wish that our daily soaps could be like this. Have I gone too far? Nah! Please comment or review or PM or whatever. Thank you!
