A new day!

As said - "new day, new hopes, a new start"

But can it be for me? Can this new day bring new hopes in my life? Can it be a new start for me?

I quickly got ready and went outside for jogging..

I was jogging with my not-so-good thoughts when I remembered about my orphanage.. I decided to visit there..

I quickly messaged Shrey that I can be a little late and went in the orphanage's direction..

I was going to enter in the orphanage when I bumped into someone.

"Ouch" we both said together as we landed on the pavement..

We both stood up..

"Sorry" we said together and I looked towards the person to see..

.

.

.

Rishabh?

Is he Rishabh?

I was standing there staring him...

"ED!!" He called me and engulf me in a bone crushing hug..I was shocked at first but then I know he is my oreo and not controlling anymore I burst out in tears in his warm embrace and hearing 'ED' after years..

As I call him oreo he calls me ED..

I hugged him as tightly as I could ,not wanting him to go anywhere now..

"I thought you will smile seeing me but you are crying" rish said breaking the hug

"I missed you..a lot" I said smiling sadly 🥲

"I missed you too..and more than you" he said taking me in his embrace and kissing my forehead

"Kaha thi tu?" He asked

"I was in Bangalore..abhi 1-2 din pehle hi Indore aayi hu"

"Banglore? Tu toh Delhi mei thi na mom ke saath"

"Haa..Delhi mei thi lekin banglore mei job ki wajah se thi"

"Dadda kaise hai?" I asked him changing the topic

"He is good but miss you a lot" he said

"I missed him too and that too every single moment" I said

"Aaja ghar chal..dad se bhi mil liyo" he said dragging me

We settled down in his car

"So, how's life till now? " He asked

'Very bad..u don't know..I am broken'

I wanted to say..but didn't

"It's good.. you know I have become a designer" I said

"That's awesome" he said

"What are you doing nowadays?" I asked

"Working with dad" he answered

"Waise tune mujhe itni jaldi kaise pehchana? Tu itna change ho gya ki mujhe time laga tujhe pehchanne mei"

"Aisa hai ki meri ED hi itni clumsy ho sakti hai..who loves to bump into others and fall" he answered earning a slap on arm from me

He laughed

"I was joking..meri ED ko pehchana itna mushkil nhi hai..aur tu itni change bhi nhi hui"

"Hmm" I just hummed in response

"Acha bta mom kaisi hai? Delhi mei sab theek tha na?"

"Haa..mo.. mom theek hai aur Delhi mei bhi sab theek tha" I lied

"Tu banglore mei akeli thi? Ya mom Tere saath thi?" He asked

Mei toh banglore mei kya Delhi mei bhi akeli thi.. I wanted to say but I stopped

"Mei banglore mei akeli thi m.. mom Delhi mei hai"

"Ohh Acha.. kab tak hai indore mei" he asked

"Jab tak tu kahega" I answered

"Mei hamesha ke liye kahunga toh ruk jaayegi" he said

"Haa" I said not thinking

"Mazak mat kar..Delhi waapis nhi jaayegi mom ke pass?" He said

Delhi? Mom? Na toh mei Delhi jaa sakti hu na hi Bangalore..

"Haa...Delhi bhi jaungi..lekin mei indore apne friends ke saath hu..aur woh yaha pe khuch jyada time ke liye rukenge.." I lied to him again

"Ohh! Toh theek hai tu hamare saath reh liyo tab tak" he said

"Lekin mere friends?" I asked

"Tujhe hamare saath time spend nhi karna?" He sadly asked

"Nhi aisa nhi hai.." I answered

"Then it's final!" He said smiling

A smile came across my lips seeing him happy..

Maybe this is my new start..

.

.

.

"Dad! I am home" rish announced as he entered.. I remain hidden because I want to suprise dad..

"Madhu Masi.. " he called

Madhu is our maid...she is here since start..me and Rishi calls her Masi.. we don't treat her like maid..she is just like our family member

"Haa Rishi bol kya hua" she said entering in hall

"Dad kaha hai?" Rish asked

"Saheb toh apni study mei hai" she answered

"Ok..ok" he said

Masi turned to leave but rish stopped her

"Masi..woh aapse Milne koi aaya hai" he said

"Kaun?" Masi said

Rishi signed me and I know what I have to do..

Rishi started distracting her and I quickly tiptoed behind her..

Rishi stopped and I covered masi's eyes..

"Masi..mujhe doodh nhi Pina.. mere glass bhi oreo ko dedo" I whispered in her ear..

Masi used to ran behind us with the glass of milk when we were kids and I always tell her that I don't wanna drink it give it to Rishi..

A big smile took place on her face and in a fraction of second I was in another bone crushing hug..my second hug since I woke up..

"Masi! I can't breath" I said and she detached us

"Ishu!!" She called me and kissed me on forehead

"Itne saalo baad yaad aayi hamari..kaisi hai meri bachi" she asked

"Itne saalo baad nhi..Har din aapki yaad aati hai..aur mei theek hu..dekho..fit and fine" I said

"Fit and fine? Dekh toh kitni patli ho gyi.. khuch khaati bhi hai tu?" She scolded me

"Itni bhi patli nhi hu mei masi" I pouted

"Itna Shor kyu ho rha hai ghar mei aaj" a voice came from upstairs intrupting us and I turned my head to see dadda coming out of his study..

My dadda!!

He was busy in his phone..he quickly come downstairs and looked at rish with confusing look.. rish pointed towards me and dadda turned to see me..

I was standing there..thinking that this may be a dream..Finally! I met my dadda..

I was having a big smile on my face and tears in eyes..

"Ishu!! My princess!!" He called and ran towards me to engulf me in a tight hug..

I hugged him and let my tears out in his embrace

We broke the hug and he kissed me on forehead and cheeks..

"Kaisi hai meri bacchi? Aur ro kyu rhi hai" He asked

"I missed you dadda"

"Mere pass aa nhi sakti thi.." he said

"Ha dad..isko nhi aati hamari yaad..indore aayi hui hai aur Milne bhi nhi aayi..abhi bhi mei laya hu isse" rish answered

"Oye chup kar tu.." I told rish

"Dadda..pehli baat I missed you a lot every day.. Dusri baat mei indore 1 din pehle hi aayi hu mujhe nhi pta tha ki aap log indore mei hi ho" I said looking towards dadda

He smiled and again kissed me on forehead

"Ignore kar isse..aur bta sab theek hai na.."

"Haa dadda ab sab theek hai" I said smiling

"Aaja bhook lag rhi hogi na tujhe..aur tujhse bahut saari baatein karni hai " he said grabbing my hand dragging me towards kitchen..

"Aapko kaise pta ki mujhe pancakes khaane hai woh bhi aapke haath ke" I said sitting on the slap of the kitchen

"Mujhe pta hai tujhe mere banaya hue pancakes kitne pasand hai" he said spreading the mixture on pan..

"Mere liye toh kabhi nhi banaye.." Rishi complaint pouting

"Kyunki woh mere dadda hai" I said

"Nhi mere hai" he argued

"Mere" I said little bit sternly

He threw a tomato in my direction which I dodged off..

"Dadda dekho maar rha hai aapka beta mujhe" I complained

"Dad ki chamchi.." rish said

"Rishi!" Dad said sternly but smiling..

"Dadda! Aapne team change karli..abhi toh aayi hai woh" rish whined..

Me and dadda laughed and soon, he joined us.. hum hamesha se aise hi the..

Yeh koi anaath ashram nhi hai joh iss ladki ko utha laaye

I remembered the words said by mom to dad when Dad brought me home..

I stopped laughing thinking all that but jerked my thoughts away..

Nhi ishaani..mat soch yeh sab..

"Ishu..Teri mom kaisi hai? Delhi mei sab theek hai na?" Dadda asked

"Haa dadda..sab theek hai" I don't wanna lie to dad but I have to

"Dadda! Aap hi khila do mujhe..aa" I said changing the topic..

He fed me the pancakes and our time passes with lots of talks and teasing.. thank God uske baad Ms. Gharewal ki baat nhi hui..

We were talking when my phone rang..

It's a call from Shrey..

Ohh no! Usko toh meine bataya hi nhi..

"Ek minute.. yeh call pick karna hai" I excused myself

I picked up the call..

"Care to explain me where are you Ms.ishaani dixit" she said and I could say that she was tensed about me and now angry..Mera accident hua tha na..uss din ke baad se mei late ho jaayu ya phone na uthayu toh yeh pareshan ho jaati hai..

"Will you reply now!?" Her voice came again

"Haa..sun" I explained her everything in short

"I will explain you in detail later on" I said

"Ok..enjoy..but come soon" she said

"Ok..bye" I said

"Bye" She said and the call ended

I moved towards rish and dadda

"Meri friend ka phone tha..woh na bas pareshan ho jaati hai agar mei phone na uthayu toh mere accident ke baad se" I said

"Accident!?" They both said together

Ohh no! Ishaani can't you control your tongue yeh kya bol diya..

"Woh.." I started saying something

"Every single detail I want and dare you lie" rish stated angrily

I told them everything about the accident

"You were in COMA for 6 months!!" They both exclaimed together

"Yess" I bow down my head

"Lekin ab mei theek hu..ek saal pehle hua tha yeh sab" I added

"Aur kya kya hua hai" rish asked

"Khuch nhi" I shrugged

They both looked at me and shook their head..

"Leave all this..let's watch a movie" I said

.......

"Dadda! It's evening..I should leave..my friends are also waiting for me" I said hugging him

"Oye! Tujhe third wheel banne mei maja aata hai kya?" Rish said

"Kyu?" I asked

"Tune hi bola tha woh donno married hai..toh time de na unhe.." he said

"Oreo tu nhi jaanta unn donno ko..mei toh akele aa rhi thi indore..they both don't leave me alone for a minute also.." I said

"Baccha you stay with us na till the time you are here..let your friends enjoy their time" dadda said

"I will talk to them..don't worry and I will pick you up tomorrow..you are staying with us and that's final!! Aur yeh discussion hum pehle bhi kar chuke hai" Rish said

All I could do is nod..

I don't know what I am exactly feeling.. one side I am so happy that finally I met them other side I am sad about my past and what will happen in future if this topic raise again..what will I answer to them...
