*****************************

I'm having a sense of déjà vu. Me sitting in a corner of a boutique my two other partners going away to I don't know where. Roger standing with his ever so expressive face. The only difference is I'm married.

The boys, yes boys even Jay, all of them went for Boy's day out. Mama was not really happy with us going out since the Reception is tomorrow.

But when she came to know Jay was also going she was so happy saying her son is starting to enjoy his life.

"Anu you want something?"

Yes, Roger kept his word he now calls me Anu.

"Wait! I can't stay here anymore let's leave I'll inform those two and come."

Telling that I went to them.

While walking I could see the duo fighting on something. That's new, they are best buddies they never fight.

It would be something big I guess.

"Sexy this colour is nice right?"

"Di, this one is nice"

Did they fight for this??

They were standing side by side holding two dresses of purple.

"They are both same." I asked confused.

They gave THAT look.

Okay.. maybe not.

"Di this is Iris and this is orchid!" Ananya exclaimed as if I told Damon is Elena's brother.

"I thought Iris is a part of our eyes and Orchid is a flower" I blurted out.

"Orange is a fruit and colour so now shut up why did we even ask you?!" Leah asked frustrated.

"Guess what I'm leaving. I'm fed up. Bye." With that I left without looking back. I knew if I stayed another moment they will kill me with their dresses.

"Let's go" I told and started walking towards the exit but sensing Roger's absence I turned back and noticed him typing away in his mobile.

Something is fishy....

"Roger give me your mobile."

I asked extending my palm.

"Oh...Mam..I me..Anu..No balance yes.

..No balance "

I narrowed my eyes and extended my hand some more.

And for the first time I could see the block of a person becoming nervous and gulping.

He slowly placed the phone on my palm. The messenger app was open

Mam went to talk

A

Yes, she is going somewhere

I was literally fuming, I like trouble??

"Call him!" I said passing the phone to Roger.

He hesitated for a second but seeing my glare he dialled his number and gave me.

"What happened? Is she alright? Where are you guys going?" I heard the voice of my oh-so-loving Husband.

Silence

"Roger....."

Silence

"Adiiii...." I could literally feel him gulping on the other side.

"I want you to stop monitoring me in any way. Am I clear"

My voice barely audible, cold and anger barely concealed.

"Adi it's for your own safety--" He started.

"Are we clear Mr.Shekhawat?"

I never thought I'll ever be able to speak in that tone. He really brings out the worst in me.

"Yes. Take care and if anything happens call me." He told in his own stern voice, but with a quite blend of warmness.

"Bye." With that I cut the call and eyed Roger.

"You heard me no more live telecast." I said shoving back his phone.

He nodded.

"Come let's go" I said and we got in the car.

"Where do you want to go?" Roger asked after settling inside the car.

"First to any mall as in food store we have to buy chocolates" I said planning ahead.

"Chocolates??" He asked turning to look at me.

Do I look like a tyrant who can't eat chocolate? Even though right now it's not for me.

"Just go.. or should I drive?" I asked.

"No..No Mam I mean Anu actually sir told to give this card to you in case"

Roger told taking out another Black card from his pocket.

Sure enough the card which he gave me was with Ananya. Should I be offended that he controls every creak of my life or happy that he cares?

Afterall there is only one life I'll go with happiness. With that I took the card and decided to make him bankrupt.

"You know what? Go to a Children's shop."

With that he started driving. I looked outside the window. The summer holiday is going to end. I could see parents holding their children's hands and leading them through the rush to buy school items while speaking hurriedly and struggling to hold the shopping bags. Kids looking happy and excited to show-off their new superman pencil box or new bag. Some crying for not getting what they want. Some others going for the last outing before vacation ends. Different people different emotions, all under the same sky. Time is passing so is life.

"We reached." Roger's voice cutoff my train of thoughts. We went inside the shop it was not that much expensive.

"These are all same size right?" I asked the salesgirl pointing to a rack of children's dress.

"Yes Mam" The salesgirl answered.

"Pack the whole rack." The salesgirl was really astonished hearing me and trust me I always wanted to say this.

"Wait. Anu one second" now I was astonished, all these time Roger never told an opinion of his own nor he stopped me.

I turned towards him.

"You should buy the biggest size so that they can adjust it and wear

These are small sized ones."

Of course he had a point. So I let him buy the things.

I really didn't know what to buy as a matter of fact. It's true that me, Leah, Rits and Dan visit the orphanage every week but we never had money to buy anything more than chocolates.

But I think Roger is right so I let him buy the rest. We brought plane books, school stationery items and toys.

And sure enough lot of chocolates.

I gave the card to Roger and went to help the salesgirls. Roger called another car since the space in one car was not enough. Then we set off to the Orphanage.

While in the car there was a tension in the air. I knew there was something Roger didn't tell me.

But I just went on to lighten the mood

"Will my hubby dearest go bankrupt?"

And he laughed. For the first time Roger laughed and I joined in.

"You really don't know how rich your husband is?" It was rather a statement than a question and that was true.

I still remember the big bundle of papers I signed. I can only guess how rich he is.

"Doesn't he do charity?" I asked out of curiosity.

"The Pra... I mean Shekhawats owns a line of NGOs which runs schools, orphanages and hospitals." Roger informed.

I was not surprised and I felt happy.

We reached the orphanage. The smile on the children's face was really heartwarming. It felt like I was in an alternate universe. One side there is a world where everyone are in rush for more and then there is this side where the children who have no one to really call their own but still find happiness.

For hours I forgot my problems. Actually I felt I was being paranoid over nothing. I felt I never had any problems. Children are angels.

Me and Roger enjoyed a lot, we played, laughed and finally feeling exhausted I went and sat on the steps nearby. I saw Roger enjoying a lot. I took a selfie from there. Next time I should bring Jay it will be really fun.

After a couple of seconds Roger came and sat beside me.

Again I could feel the same tension between us.

"How did you know what to buy?"

I asked rather casually. But it was anything but casual.

"Maybe the fact that I was one of them and maybe still am"

I really didn't know what to say to him. I don't pity him or anything rather I feel happy that he grew up well and leading a good life.

When I was surrounded by all love and care but still lack in many places. Without these things they grew up, aren't they really strong??

But I just went with the flow. The last thing I want is to make this a soap opera.

"You were an orphan. Because I don't think orphans have sisters. That too a beautiful one." I said pointing myself.

We stared at each other for a few seconds that moment I knew I got a brother.

Hey guys,

What do you feel about
