Ridhhant's POV
She knows. She knows about my nightmares.
One day I'll have to tell her the reason too, but I'm afraid to relive them in bright daylights.
I let out a sign and went to freshen up. Wearing a casual dress I went downstairs to see Olly roaming in the living room like it's his place.
Wow.
I saw Naina making breakfast, when does she wake up? "Good morning Bhaiya." This girl!
"Good morning," I huffed with a frown and she laughed. As much as I love it, should have been for another reason.
I walked up to her and stood behind, playing with the ends of her hair, "People call Honey or Baby to the person they like or love while you call me Bhaiya. Wow."
She turned around with a grin while mixing the vegetables with a spatula, "Honey Baby are old and cliché, cliché in a bad way so Bhaiya is my word." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Need any help ma'am?"
"Make coffee for both of us?"
"Tea?" I offered.
"Fine, let's drink tea."
"Point of appropriation, let's have tea."
"What the- Fine, let's have tea." She poured and I pinched her nose while laughing and she blushed at that too.
"The royal tea made by Ridhhant the great is here ma'am." I announced in a broad voice. "Shuth uph!" She said in the same way she did yesterday.
We ate our tortillas and had tea together. "Wait! We got a date right? But we ate breakfast! I forgot!"
Wait we had a breakfast date.
"Shit." I muttered.
"Movie will work Bhaiya," She said with a grin and I gave it an agreement.
"So let's close the curtains and the turn off the lights bhaiya!" Ugh! I did as she said while she went to her room to get blankets.
I was walking towards the sofa, "Wait!" She shrieked and I turned around, "What?"
"Not on the sofa, floor. On the carpet. Please?" She said with her puppy eyes. She knows the way to fulfill her heart.
"Okay." I said with a shrug and we curled up in her blanket. Her scent. I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and she rested her head on my shoulder.
"What movie?"
She wore a smirk, "The Fault in Our Stars."
"Holy Eggshells! No."
"Whyyy?" She whined. "We will read the book together at nights Firefly, I don't like the movie much." I said with a pout.
"Aww you look so cute!"
"Shut up, I am hot not cute." I said recovering from my pout very soon. "Whatever sails your boat. But please movie, please once Ridhu."
Ridhu.
I went rigid hearing the nickname my Maa have in. I gulped audibly when her screams and cries came before my eyes and I realized I was shaking, on the verge of a panic attack.
"Ri-ridh? I-shit...Hey calm down. Breath Ridh.
Look at me, look at me Ridh." I heard a voice and I did.
"Count with me,
One."
"O-one"
"Two"
"Two-two"
"Three"
"Th-thhree"
"Four"
"Fo-four"
"Five"
"Five.."
