“Nandettaa, Nandettaa, please come here. There is a problem. Help ".
Anu called him.
Anand felt worry in her sound. So, he ran towards her. Then she made a puppy face and touched his shirt's buttons. That means she have done something stupid and need his help or she is going to bribe him for something.
In a childish musical tone she started,
" I know my Nandoos is so handsome, so sweet, so lovable and you are the best brother in the world".
He confirmed then that she really wanted something from him.
" Yah, I agree. But can you tell which brand's soap now using? So much bubble. Why are you soaping me like this?"
He questioned her.
She took a deep breath and said,
" I forgot to bring our gift to Bride groom.”
"What?”
He shouted with shock.
Bride and groom are already sitting there. It is the time for everyone to give gift to them. Yesterday he did pack a gift for Deepak and gave to Anu and told her to bring it with them that day.
"Sorry ... sorry ... sorry. I forgot to bring it Nandettaa. You can beat me, scold me or you can take my Chocobar from fridge, but please don't scold me now. We can settle this matter at home. Please go home and come back with the gift. You need only fifteen minutes to reach there. Please, please".
She begged him.
Seeing her face he wanted to laugh. Because his princess rarely beg like that.
With a mix of anger and laugh he said,
" Ok I agree. But one condition. When I reach home now, I will take your chocobar. Otherwise when we reach home later you will directly go to the kitchen and will eat it. I know my devil sister very well".
She agreed. So, he left to pick the gift.
When he reached the parking lot he felt somebody was following him. So, he turned back.
Again, that witch Deepa.
"Oh... Anand, if you want you can hit me now. You won't get a chance again. I am here to say a good bye to you Anand. I know we won't meet again. Good luck for your future. I wish all happiness in your life, especially I wish happiness to your sister."
She turned and walked away. But still I felt a cunning smile in her lips. And I had a gut feeling that, everything now she wished had an inner meaning. Was she really wishing us happiness or really planning something behind us?
Anand drove to the home, unaware that dark clouds were rolling in and a torrential downpour was waiting at home just for him.
Anu entered the hall with relief.
Suddenly, Kiran's message came on the phone.
It's a song.
She nervously searched the crowd for a face she had never seen before.
Anand drove the car, hoping to get back as soon as possible. But he was out of luck. There was a big block on the road. It looked like an accident had happened.
Unable to move anywhere, Anand lay there in the traffic block.
After half an hour the car somehow moved.
But another obstacle awaited Anand.
Anand drove as fast as he could. But, unfortunately the tire was flat.
