Jahnvi's POV:-
"Yeah! That was really fun " Bondi exclaimed and three of us joined her in laughing.
I, Samar, Anirudh and Bondi were sitting on our terrace, chit chatting. We all have decided that we will have a visit to my and Bondi's house. It's been so long that we haven't met mumma and papa.
"Hey let's play a game" Samar said.
"Hmm.... Which game? " Anirudh asked him.
"Let me think....... " Samar said thinking for a game and all of us also did the same.
"Truth and Dare! " We all said together and laughed.
"Okay let me bring a bottle! " I said and brought a bottle for tossing it.
The game started. I spun the bottle first and it landed on Samar.
"Truth or dare? " Anirudh asked him.
"Truth! " He answered.
"Did Jaanu irritates you? " Bondi asked him and I also waited for him to answer.
"Ummm.... Yes a lot! " He said and earned a pillow hit from me while the another couple laughed.
"Ouch! Jahnvi. That hurts! " He whined.
"Now that hurts? And what you said about me? I irritates you? " I said sarcastically.
"Of course! " He said and I glared at him.
"Just wait and watch " I challenged him while he gulped in fear.
"Okay, okay, let's continue. " Anirudh gained everyone's attention and we again started playing. The game was going really fun and interesting before the bottle strike at me and I was asked the most unexpected question.
"Jahnvi why did your and Bondita's surname are different and still you are sisters. " Anirudh said and Samar also nodded curiously. I glanced towards Bondi, who was also look at me in horror.
"Anirudh I have already told you that what our relationsh-" Bondi was cut off by Anirudh.
"Of course I know what you told me but it was half truth and I need to know the full truth. "
"But Anirudh does that matter? "
"It's ok Bondi! It's enough. We have hidden this truth for a long time. Now I can't hide it more. " I said as I was so frustrated hiding this truth.
"But Jaanu-"
"Bondi please! "
She sighed and half nodded at me. I turned towards Samar and Anirudh, who were looking at me waiting for me to say anything. I took a deep breath and started.
Flashback
15 years ago......
I was coming from my summer vacations with my parents to Mumbai. We were so happy but this was the last time I was being happy with my parents. We were riding in our car with me and mumma at the back seat and papa on the passenger seat at front. Everything was going well when a truck hit our car.
My whole world went upside down. The accident was so fatal that whole car was crushed. Hopefully mumma have caged me in her arms and pushed me on the floor of the car, to avoid any glass pieces enter in me but still I got some minor injuries. I looked upwards and my tears won't stop. The scene was so horrifying. Mumma's whole body was covered in blood with glass pieces embedded in her skin.
I slowly came up and saw papa's dead body, laying on the seat. Tears made their ways through my eyes. I tried to shake papa and mumma but they would not wake up. I saw a crowd outside and a couple pulled me out of the car. I cried and cried, trying to hold mumma and papa's hand but it was of no use. They pulled me outside and ran far away from the car and then.....
BOOM!
The car exploded. "Mumma Papa!! " I screamed and cried loudly. Everything started blacking out and I collapsed there.
I slowly tried to open my eyes and found myself in a hospital. My head was spinning. I tried to recall everything that happened and then the realisation hit me. Mumma. Papa. Car. Explosion. I was an orphan. My parents were gone. They were gone. Forever. I was alone.
Uncontrollable tears started flowing down my eyes. I started crying loudly and the same couple, who saved me, came running with the doctor accompanying them. The woman hugged me tightly and patted my back while I cried in her embrace.
"Shh... Shh.... We are here. Calm down! Calm down! " She said softly and my cries turned into soft sobs. After few minutes when I totally calmed down she broke the hug and made me lay on the bed and patted my forehead while sleep engulfed me.
The couple who helped me was none other than Neeraj uncle and Ankita aunty. They took me to their farm house where they were living from few days for some business works.
"Don't be scared and think it as your home. " Neeraj uncle said, kissed my forehead and went with Ankita aunty. In the initial days I didn't talked to them much. I was still in shock with my parent's death. Nightmares would haunt me every night. The dead faces of my parents were imprinted in my mind.
Even though Uncle and Aunty tried to make me feel comfortable but still at the end of the day I was an eight year old girl who lost her parents and was living with some strangers. Strangers? Well to be honest, I never felt uncomfortable near them, in turn I always got my parent's love from them. Few days passed and my life became a hell! I was not able to sleep. The nightmares never let me sleep. I was not able to express my emotions. Neither I wanted to cry nor I wanted to be happy.
After some days they took me to their Mansion where I met Bondi and Kartik dada. We shared a nice bond till our childhood and I also overcame my nightmares and moved on. I have accepted Bondi, Kartik dada, Neeraj uncle and Ankita aunty as my family.
Everything was going well until we grown up and understood what is our life. Kartik dada started hating me and treated me as an outsider. Often time I may cry after Kartik dada would say something harsh to me but Bondi always pacified me. Days passed, months passed and year passed. I was habitual of Kartik dada's taunts and scolding and a great thing is that I felt it strange when he didn't scolded me.
And that's how me and Bondi became friends cum sister!
Flashback ends
Tears welled up in my eyes remembering the dark truth of my life. I looked at the trio and they were also in tears. Samar hugged me tightly while I cried on his chest. Bondi and Anirudh too hugged me.
"Sorry Jahnvi I didn't wanted you to recall your past but.... " Anirudh said with guilt evident in his eyes.
"It's ok Anirudh! I myself was very tired to hide my truth. " I smiled at him.
"Okay now stop crying and let's enjoy. " Bondi wiped her tears and picked up the empty bottle. "Continue? "
