Naina Singhania

It was Next day in the morning, we all were eating our breakfast in silence and I hate this silence, back at my home it used to be so fun mom and dad always used scold me or make jokes or narrate their stories from college days - how they met each other for the first time, how my mom wrote poetry from my dad, how shy my dad was back during those days and blah blah.

I miss my parents and my home

The breakfast was done he was ready to go his office and khyati was also leaving for her college and from tomorrow even I will be back to work

"Bye bhabhi" khyati said hugging me

"Bye" I replied hugging her back

"I will be back by lunch time" she informed breaking the hug

"I will be waiting" I said with a smile

"Bye bhaiya" she said while giving him a side hug

"Bye" he said "Marcus will be drive to your college" he added

"Ok" she said while exiting from the house

After Khyati left for her college within no time Mr.Singhania also left for his office leaving me alone in this huge house. Back at home my mom kept me occupied with her talks but here it's just me now maybe, I will call her and talk about something. My chain of thoughts broke when I heard my phone ringtone the caller ID read mumma with a heart I immediately picked up the call and spoke

"I was about to call you. How do you always get to know?"

"I am your mom and mom's know everything" she replied

That's true mom's know everything and we can't hide anything from them

"How are you? And dad?" I asked

"We are fine just missing you so much" she replied and I could clearly sense the sadness

"I missing you both too" I replied

"Speak to your dad he is so restless" my mom informed

"How are you, my bacha?" My dad asked me when my mom kept the phone on speaker

"I am fine, how are you dad?" I asked him

"I am the same young and handsome"he replied

"Of Course my Rajesh Khanna" I said with a broad smile

"How's everything there? Is Dhruv treating you well?" My mom asked in a serious tone

"Everything is good here and dhruv is also treating me very well, I am so happy here you don't have to worry about me" I replied

This is the first time I said his name

"When are you going to visit your parents?" My dad asked

"Very soon, my Rajesh Khanna" I replied with a smile

"Enough both father and daughter will continue their talk for an hour if I don't end the call now. bye beta take care" my mom said

"Bye, love you" I said with a broad smile and Hung the call

"Why did you lie to your parents?" A loud voice came from behind

I jumped on my spot due to the sudden voice, I turned back to see dhruv stood there

"W–what did I–I lie?" I stammered

"That I am treating you well and you are happy here" he replied

"That wasn't a lie, I am happy here khyati is an amazing person she loves me and I love too and as per you, Mr. Singhania I don't have any expectations from you " I replied confidentially

He hummed in response and walked upstairs

He came back with few documents in his hand he looked at me and spoke "I forgot to mention my friend said he will be coming home tonight, he wants to visit you"

"Ok" I replied with a tight lipped smile

"Ok then bye I will see you in the evening" he said

"Bye see you" I wished

"I am on the way" she replied

"Come soon I waiting" I said

"Yeah bye see you" she said hanging up the call

After some time I heard a doorbell it maybe sara as I opened the door a man stood there with a broad smile and a bouquet in his hand

"Hi bhabhi" he spoke

"Hi" I replied in confusion

"I am karan, Dhruv's best friend" he replied sensing my

"Oh yeah he informed me that you were coming in tonight" I said remembering Dhruv's words

"I couldn't wait to see you so I am here" he replied playfully

"please come in" I said with a smile

"Here few Beautiful flowers for the most beautiful woman" he said giving the bouquet of flowers

"Oh thank you so much karan these are my favorite flowers" I said with a broad smile

"I am glad you like the flower bhabhi" he added

"I hope you don't mind me calling you bhabhi" he asked

"of course not" I replied

"Do want something tea, coffee or juice" I asked him as he sat on the couch

"No thank you" he replied

"Please you need have something"

"If you are insisting me so much I will drink coffee"

"Good. You seat here i will get coffee for you"

"Let me help you" he said and followed me to the kitchen

Me and Karan were making coffee and there was doorbell sound

"That must be my friend, sara" I informed

"You wait here I will open the door" karan said before walking towards the entrance

"Who is he, naina?" sara asked me entering the house

"He is Karan, Dhruv's best friend" I replied

"But what is he doing here" she asked angrily

"I came to visit my bhabhi" karan answered behalf of me

"I didn't ask you I asked my best friend" she said

"It's ok sara why are you getting angry at him and do both know each other before?"

What's going on between them and how the hell do they know each other and why is Sara mad at him? I have so many questions.

"Long story bhabhi I will tell you some other day" karan said, I could see sara averting her eyes

All of us sat down on the couch and drank your coffee while having a fun conversation.

"bhabhi! I need to go to office or else your husband will kill me and bhabhi you make the best coffee" he said while standing up

"I am glad you liked the coffee"

"bye" he said while side hugging me

"Bye and thanks for coming" I said with a sweet smile

"Bye sara" he wished her but she gave him a deathly glare
