*Asha Pov*
Next day I woke up with slight headache because of that stupid crying.
After getting ready I went downstairs near the Kitchen to see few helpers are moving here and there totally terrified and making breakfast.
“What happened?” I asked them entering the Kitchen to drink some coffee.
“Our head chef is not feeling well so she can’t cook today.” One of them said and I can see they are worried.
“Is she ok? I mean nothing serious right?” I asked them.
“She just needs to take rest for today.” Another one replied.
“Then why are guys so terrified?” I asked them confused.
“Because Maam, we don’t know what to prepare for all the courses today.” One helper said.
“That’s it. Here I will tell you the items and you just prepare them.” I said asking for the notebook.
They happily gave me one and I wrote the menus for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
“OK. Now you can prepare Breakfast.” I said handing the book.
“Oh God! There is only one hour.” One said and everyone panicked again.
“Hey! It will be easy for us. Let me help you all too.” I said and that’s how I spend one hour with them and prepared the breakfast.
Everything is over and then we heard Aunty saying from the Dining room “We are waiting for five minutes. Where is the breakfast?”
“Let’s go.” I said and carried one item and entered the Dining room.
Then I saw everyone sitting at the Dining table. I mean everyone.
“Asha! You are inside that kitchen until now? We thought you are still sleeping.” Aunty said when I placed the dish I am carrying on the table.
“Actually the Head chef is not feeling well Maam. So we all started panicking because we don’t know what to prepare then Asha Maam told us the menu and also helped us in preparing the breakfast as there is very little time remaining.” One helper said smiling at me.
I smiled back and sat down on a chair little far away from Lucky and his friends.
“Really? That’s very sweet of you Asha. Thank you so much.” Aunty said smiling brightly at me.
“Please Aunty. It’s nothing.” I said and smiled at her.
I turned and looked up which is my biggest mistake because I got two glaring eyes looking at me.
What? Is this also a problem for them?
“Didn’t I tell you Anil? She will be a best Daughter-In-Law.” Aunty said to Uncle.
Oh Shut! Now I understood my mistake. Which was not generally but they just made it to be a mistake.
“Mom! We will leave for beach after having breakfast.” Lucky said saving me.
Ofcourse I am here to not get saved right. Because that’s what happened in the next minute.
“Here ‘We’ means Asha too right?” Uncle asked Lucky.
Lucky turned towards me and smiled. I shook my head slowly to tell him my message.
“Ofcourse Sure!” He replied.
“Ouch!” he hissed in pain. I looked at him confused then I saw Sandy glaring at him.
Good thing Sandy. I too want to do the same.
“What happened Lakshman?” Aunty asked worriedly.
“Nothing Mom! I am fine.” He replied smiling reluctantly.
“I am actually busy so I can’t go with you guys.” I said patting myself.
They all looked at me surprised. All means all six members.
“What nonsense? You are going with them Asha.” Aunty said looking at me.
“But..” I started saying.
Uncle cut me off and said “Do you want to ask your Dad’s permission? Don’t worry I will talk to him.”
I looked at him wide eyed and said “No! I will go with them.”
For the rest of the breakfast I just looked down and ate calmly.
After some time, both Uncle and Aunty left us all alone.
But I didn’t dare to look up and just sat there.
Then I heard some conversations.
“Sandy! Go and call him.” Lucky said.
“Lucky! You know he will not come out of the room right. He is working.” Sandy replied.
“But he will do whatever you ask him to right?” Vicky I guess asked her.
“Yeah! But here we are asking him to come out of his work to enjoy which he never does.” Sandy replied.
I couldn’t stop myself and asked them looking up “Who is ‘He’ here?”
“Didn’t you meet him yesterday?” Lucky asked me surprised.
“I only saw you four and no one was there with you guys.” I replied frowning.
“He is my…” Sandy was about to say but Vicky cut her off and said “He is her Uncle.”
“Oh!” I said and nodded.
I saw him winking at Sandy and Mandira.
I shrugged and got up from my seat to go to my room. I am sure that they don’t want me to go out with them.
“Asha?” I heard Vicky calling me.
“Yes!” I replied turning towards him.
“Can you do us all a favor?” he asked and everyone just looked at me.
“Sure.” I replied nodding him to continue.
“We want Sandy’s Uncle to come with us. But he locked himself and doing his work. Can you call him outside?” Vicky asked.
“But it is better to leave him like that.” I said looking at him.
“Yeah! But we want him to enjoy his life too.” He said.
“Why should I be the one do call him?” I asked them totally confused.
“Because we just want to try it. We are not sure that he will come out now too.” Sandy replied.
I am surprised that she is talking to me normally.
I nodded and asked “Show me his room?”
“Don’t you know it is beside yours? Lucky’s old room!” Sandy replied smirking.
I looked at Lucky in surprise.
“Yeah! I wanted to sleep near my friends so.” Lucky said looking everywhere but me.
I shrugged and started to go towards Sandy’s Uncle’s room. They all followed me.
I knocked on the door and heard ‘Go Away’ immediately.
“Call him by yourself.” Mandira said.
“What is his name?” I asked them.
“Just refer him as ‘Uncle’. If he is my Uncle then he is yours too right?” Sandy replied.
I smiled at her and once again knocked on the door saying “Uncle! Can you please open the door?”
Then I heard nothing. It is totally silent.
I turned towards them to say this to Sandy but no one is standing behind me.
I leaned on the door and frowned not understanding anything.
To my utter horror the door opened suddenly and before I could balance myself it is completely opened.
I shrieked closing my eyes as I loosed my foot and was about to fall. I waited for few seconds for the impact of getting hurt after falling on the floor.
But it never happened. I opened my eyes to see someone holding me.
I looked at that person to see a very handsome face.
He looked at me in shock mirroring my expression. I am shocked because he is not at all looking like some Uncle to anybody.
“You can never be Sandy’s Uncle.” I blurted out not thinking properly.
I looked at him wide eyed realizing my mistake and thought can this day become any better. Please note the Sarcasm……
*Sandy Pov*After Asha called my brother as Uncle we all rushed out of the house and stood on the front porch.When we just stood there calmly we all suddenly burst out laughing.“Poor Asha! I don’t know what will happen to her now.” Madira said giving me highfive.“I still can’t believe you told her that he is my uncle.” I said turning towards Vicky.“Well it is so boring here. So I told her that to have some fun.” He said winking.“I hope your brother will not be too hard on her. He despises the person who ever call him that do you remember.” Lucky said and we all can see the worry on his face.“Yeah! He was a step away from throwing a punch at me but you saved me from him.” Vicky said shuddering.“Why does he hate that word in the first place?” Mandira asked me.“Well we all call him that because he works too hard right. So when he hears it he immediately feels that if our parents are alive he need not work like this at all. In that process he gets the memories of our parents in hi
*Asha Pov*I am fuming would be an understatement of the year.I have many reasons to fume and I can’t just pick one.Few are the way Sandy’s brother treated me. I mean who drags someone like that.I am not his friend. Hell I don’t even know him.Yeah he is handsome. So??And then they discuss about my lacking of knowledge about companies like some debate. Like seriously?I know I shouldn’t talk to them harshly but I just kind of exploded a little. Now I should definitely apologize to them.I suddenly turned back to see all five people following me calmly.They too stopped after I turned. I can see they are thinking that I will lash out again.“I am sorry.” I said looking at them.Everyone just looked at me not saying anything. Then I heard ‘It’s ok’ from Sandy’s brother.To his reply they all nodded and I too nodded with them. Then we started to go near the beach again.And they all acted normally taking to each other.We walked until there are not many visitors in that place. Select
*Asha Pov*At present we all are sitting in the dining room and waiting for the dinner to be served.Why should we? Don’t we have our own hands to do it? I thought rolling my eyes.My phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts. I looked at the caller Id to see it is ‘Rahul’.I glanced at Lucky’s parents to see them busy talking with each other.I picked up my phone and pressed it near my ear to hear “Asha! I have some good news.”“What is it?” I asked excitedly and immediately felt five pairs of eyes on me.I ignored them completely and heard Rahul saying “I got in contact with my friend today. He said that he just needs your certificates and then in few days Visa will be ready.”“That’s great.” I said happily.“Yeah! Now address me where you are living so that he will come there and take them with him.” He said.Then I remembered one thing and immediately said “Oh shut!”“What happened?” he asked immediately.“I didn’t bring them with me. I kind of forgot them at my home.” I replied
*Sandy Pov*For few days we didn’t saw my Brother at all. We would have thought that it is normal and ignore it.But to our surprise we didn’t even saw Asha much.My brother always shows his presence at Lunch and Dinner time correctly every day without skipping but Asha is not attending even them properly.She is skipping them too much. We all are sitting at the front porch.Lucky is very worried about her like too much. I decided to ask him finally.“Lucky! Why are you so concerned about her?” I asked him.Hearing this both Vicky and Mandira too concentrated to hear Lucky’s reply.“Sandy! I had already told you and I am telling you again. She is good person.” He replied.“That doesn’t answer my question Lucky.” I said looking at him.“First of all tell me how I am concerned about her?” he asked me back.“That’s easy. Whenever she tries to skip eating, you ask her to not do it. Why?” Vicky asked him.“That’s because you don’t know her guys. She always skips like that for the past many
*Asha Pov*I am again hiding in my room. That’s what I am doing from that beach incident.And yesterday because of that Prem I had to leave my room. He just threatened me like I am his friend or something.One thing he doesn’t know is I am more stubborn than anyone. That’s why I am ignoring the loud knocks on my door at present.“Asha! Open the door. Otherwise I am sure Prem is ready to break it down.” I heard Lucky saying.“Just ask him to leave me alone Lucky. I will come down later.” I shouted at the door.Finally they left me or that’s what I thought because next thing I know my door is opened.I looked at the culprit and asked “How did you open it?”I didn’t raise my voice because I really want to know the way he did it.“I have my ways. Now come on we all are hungry. We want to eat some food.” He said and I think you already know what else he is doing.Yep! The dragging is still on.“Why didn’t you guys continued without me?” I asked Sandy confused.“I think it is good to eat to
*Prem Pov*I finally completed my work. Now I can spend my time with my sister and see whether Lucky is good for Sandhya or not.Before going down towards living room, I glanced at Asha’s room to see it is locked down like usual.I asked one servant. I mean ‘helper’ where are everyone.I liked the way Asha talked for all the helpers and also showed so much love towards her nanny.And yesterday I can see her pain. I am not saying that I know how it feels because I got my Mom’s love atleast until few years back. But for Asha she never got to know.Now I need to know why she has that eating disorder and also the pain she shows immediately whenever we talk about her dad.I should not forget the way she hates all the business man too.I hope she doesn’t hate me. I thought frowning and reached the lawn where everyone are sitting there enjoying.“Bhai! Finally you are here.” Sandhya said when she saw me.I smiled and sat down on a chair.“Lucky! Where is Asha?” Lucky’s mom asked.“She is in
*Sandy Pov*We all got ready to go to the club and waiting for Asha. Surprisingly even Bhai decided to join us.“We will take single car. It will be easy for all of us.” Lucky said.“You are right. And I will drive the car.” Vicky said and took the keys away from Lucky.He got in the driver’s seat and Mandira took the front seat beside him.Lucky’s parents were just sitting there and looking at us. When Asha came near us she directly stood beside Lucky.She took a deep breath and said “Let’s go Lucky.”Without letting him reply she took his hand and dragged him to the car. He sat in the middle seat and she took the seat beside him.I turned back to see Lucky’s parents grinning like they won something.I shook my head and sat at the other side on the middle seat and Bhai sat behind us.I am so angry at her. Why did she act like that?When we were little far away from the house, Asha asked “Vicky! Can you stop the car?”We all looked at her surprised. After the car is stopped, she got d
*Asha Pov*I woke up next day with only one thought ‘New day and more acting’.I need to find a solution for this. There is only one week and after that I can leave from here like forever.Rahul said correctly in one week my Visa and also plane ticket will be waiting for me at the airport.I got ready and went inside the dining hall to have some breakfast.Everyone is already there. When I entered I saw Aunty giving me a glance at Lucky.I sighed and sat beside Lucky which is opposite to my usual seat.“So what is your plan for today?” Uncle asked all of us.Come on Asha! Show them your acting skills.I cleared my throat and said “Lucky! Will you show me around the area here?”I know I tried it to be my sweetest voice. Hearing this he got startled for a second and said “Sure.”“Yeah! It is a great plan. We too want to look around here.” Sandy said and I can feel the anger in her voice.We decided to walk and not take a car. When we were leaving the house I took Lucky’s hand in mine an
