I am not sure where I left off
I will begin with this chapter since its been so long
All for time pass as I like to say
Discordant Stories
"Will she live here now?" Nihar mumbled almost inaudibly
Neel nodded confidently
And then looked away just when he realized Nihar didnt want Suvechha living with them.
Amma was in the living room with Aadhya working on a puzzle
Suvi was putting away Aadhya's clothes in the room Neel said was going to be hers
The house was so quiet you could almost hear a pin drop
Suvi cleared her throat to make a sound
Umm.. mmm still no other sound
She missed her IP Extension apartment and Tai and her loud blare of television
Amma peeked
"Kya khayengi raat ko beta?" she asked with a gentle smile
"Kuch bhi kha lene ka" she smiled warmly
"To phir theek hai hum karhi aur baingan ki subzi bana lenge" Amma smiled back
Aadhya too stood in the doorway looking intently
"Aai mee ithe jhopato?" she asked worrying
Suvi blushed not knowing how to break the news
"Arey yeh kamra to hamara aur aapka hai" "Hum aapko khoob saari pariyon ki kahaniyan sunayenge"Amma hugged her and picked her up as Aadhya burst out crying
Neel rushed down the hallway
"Kya hua Amma?"
"Arey kuch bhi nahi, aap itna kyon ghabra gaye?" she was smiling
Aadhya slid down Amma's hold and ran to her mother's

"Chaliye inko kya pasand hai hum banayen" Amma was still hopeful
"Sheera" Suvi said softly
"Woh to bohoth aasan hai" Amma smiled

"Why is she crying?" he asked
"Umm.. isko tumse story sun ne ka hey" Suvi smiled slowly
"I dont know Marathi stories" Nihar said primly
"She can understand English" Neel supplied
Nihar was not happy to hear that
He turned and walked away
He sensed his father trying to force the young girl on him
"Jao beta" Amma whispered
"Nihaar" Neel sprinted
"I know what you are doing" Nihar accused with big fat tears in his eyes
"Nihaar!!!" Neel looked distraught, hugging him
"She was only my school friend... now she is not" he refused to say she was his step sister now
"She cant still be your friend" Neel offered hugging him tight
"NO SHE CANT... NOT WHEN YOU MARRY HER MOTHER" he was frustrated and speechless all at the same time
he pulled away from his Dad's grip hitting a window, and stopping
