Her Second Marriage or Second Love

Chapter 28

In College,

Radha was in the canteen sitting alone. When Aayush and Puja came from behind.

Puja: " Hey penny for your thoughts." She chirped taking a seat beside her. 

Radha: " Sorry." 

Aayush: " So?" Radha looked at him in confusion.

Aayush: " Why didn't you came to the pool party yesterday."

Radha: " I don't like going ."

Aayush: " Oh." 

Puja: " Shall I ask you something?" 

Radha hummed.

Puja: " You're so beautiful but why do your eyes tell us as if you're in deep pain. Like you don't have a life?"

Radha kept quiet. Aayush understood her and gestured her to keep quiet.

After college, 

It was evening, Radha was at home studying when the bell rang. She opened the door. It was Chaya. She was wearing the same mask and a black dress. 

Chaya: " Hi!"

Radha: " You here, at this time."

Chaya: " Um actually I was alone at home so thought of spending some time with you." 

Radha: " Ok."

Chaya: " Uh, I can have something to eat please. I'm very hungry." 

Radha nodded yes and went inside the kitchen.

Chaya immediately ran inside Rakesh's room and searched for something. She found Radha's earrings and hide them hurriedly inside her pockets. She rushed downwards and saw Radha still inside the kitchen. She exhaled in relief and put a fake smile on her face and went inside.

Chaya: " Wow the smell is so good. Radha." Radha smiled at her. 

Radha: " Thank you." 

Chaya: " So can you tell me how to prepare it please." She pouted.

Radha: " Um ok." She was confused about her behavior. While Radha was searching the ingredients. Chaya took the knife and put it inside her bag. Once the work is done she started acting.

Chaya: " Oh Shit! Radha I'm really sorry I need to go my parents are going to come home soon." 

Radha: " But just now you..." She didn't let her complete.

Chaya: " Bye Radha I need to go." Radha was totally confused about her behavior. As soon as she came out of the gate. She called someone.

Chaya: " Work is done, Mom." She smirked.

Aunt: " Thank God, I'm proud of you dear. Come home soon we have a lot of work left to do." She smirked.

After a week,

Both Rakesh and Radha were returning home from the office and college. Both of them were silent. It was a red light and they were waiting for the green one. Just a small boy about 9-11 years came towards their car. 

Boy: " Uncle will you please buy this matchbox." He asked Rakesh. His heart clenhed seeing his condition. He remembered his childhood. He too was begging on the streets when his mother died but there was no one to help him. Radha who was busy in her thoughts suddenly came out of her trance looked at the boy. She felt pity.
