THE BROKEN STAR ✔

CH6. THE TOUGH PERIOD

THE LIVE INTERVIEW

Joshi : People fake scenarios to get sympathy.
(He looked at her with a smirk. She smiled and raised her eyesbrows at him.)

Joshi : I mean many people do. But our Annie is not one of them. Right?

Annie: Before I continue, I would like to show you a clip. This is the clip I was recording for memories on that unknown station. Luckily, I forgot to off it. So it has recorded everything.

Annie showed the clip. The clip was telling them the same story which she has told them. So, Annie was really not a betrayal. Joshi's eyes melted after he saw her running and begging her sister to save her.

Annie took her phone back. She took a deep breath before she continued...

Annie's POV

21 feb, 2018
6 a.m
Krishna Temple.

It's been a complete day since I've been thrown out of the house. My stomach was aching now. I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. I was awake whole night. I stayed here at Krishna Temple last night.

I needed something to eat or else I will pass out soon. So, I decided to go to Kaki's tea stall. The one I used to go before. I remember when I used to sing for her. She has always appreciated me. She was a lovely woman. It's been many days since I've last visited her. I didn't have much money. I decided to go there by walking.

6.30 a.m.
Kaki's Tea Stall.

"Chotu, what happened to my eyes?" Kaki asked her son as soon as she looked at me. She was always this dramatic.

"Aayi, are you okay?" Chotu asked.

"I'm okay. But someone is going to get a slap by me." She said looking at me.

"Kakiiiiii" I went and hugged her.

"Do you even know how much I missed you? Where were you lost these days. Never thought of visiting your Kaki once atleast." Kaki said with some emotions. I don't have any relation with her. But still she had loved me everytime.

"Kaki, I was busy in improving myself. Remember I told you that I'm registering my name for Hustles." I reminded her. She nodded. "My registration got approved. And two days ago, I went to mumbai for auditions." I told her excitedly.

"Oh my god Annu. Congratulations. We are so proud of you. I knew it. And what about the result of audition?" She looked so happy after hearing it.

"The results are tomorrow. Let's hope." I smiled.

"Annu, are you okay? Please answer me correctly." Kaki asked.

"I'm totally fine Kaki." I told her.

"Such a bad lier. What are your bags and guitar doing with you then?" Kaki suspected. I looked down.

"What happened Annu? You can trust me." She told me. I nodded. "Before you start, let me bring something for you to eat. You look so exhausted." She said.

She made me eat properly first. Then she asked me to explain. We were having tea together inside the stall. I needed to pour out everything. So, I told her whatever happened in these few days.

"Annu, I am speechless now. I don't know what to say. How can a sister do such things? And your parents, how can they trust her so easily?" Kaki was upset.
