Lockdown

Fuck it.

SOHIT POV

Well...

That went well.
Except, I almost threw the phone that we had in the house and broke it. Thank God for Pari otherwise, none of us would have any means of calling or contacting anyone outside...

And well... She's on a phone call currently. Thinks that I'm sleeping besides her on the bed but, I really couldn't sleep in that state of mind. No matter how much I felt tired, I just couldn't fall asleep. But, I didn't want to trouble her any further either so, I just decided to lay down next to her and keep my eyes shut. And well, there were many thoughts in my mind. Ranging from how guilty I felt to have even thought of leaving her alone to raise our child to planning on how to leave that house in the next 5 days.

Yes, I was going to leave. Not forever. I just, had a few things to attend to in Delhi... Had to give over my responsibilities and duties to Kartik. God, I didn't want do any of it. But... It was necessary... If I wanted my plan to work... I just had to do it.
Had to hand over all my work to them before I came back here and started a new chapter on a fresh page.

Didn't want to do it. Trust me. If it were up to me... I'd never want to give up on my life's work but things just are the way they are.

" Hmm... So, 27th?" She was talking to her brother about his marriage and although the online marriage is a fucked up concept... It's the only one possible at that point honestly...
" Dadi agreed?" She was talking as lightly as possible to not disturb me but also was not ready to leave me alone, anywhere. I guess, I did scare her a lot. But well... It was done now. I could only sigh thinking about it and shift in my place because sleeping in the same place for a long time just to act was just so very... Uncomfortable!
" Hmm... Of course she'd be unhappy. You knocked a girl pregnant and she didn't even get any dowry,"
" Pch, Pari!"
" Accha. Thike. I'll not talk about that," her eyes were not on me but every move of mine seemed to be closely monitored by her because the moment I shifted and managed to sleep on my back, I felt a hand grab my shoulders. Yes, I slightly opened my eyes to see if she was staring at me or not and well, she was staring right at me. Great. I just got busted!

" Exactly. And when are you sending the dancing video ha!? I need to put it all together and-"
" I can't send that Pranav. I told you... Just forget it and put up a video without me na," I thought that she would shout at me for not sleeping... But she just moved herself on the bed and laid next to me, while putting her head over my chest I just don't know how or when but my hands definitely slithered over to her waist and wrapped around it.
" You're my twin sister, yaar. Pari! You need to dance! I'll get dadi to force you if you don't listen to me right now ha!" Her brother was shouting but she wasn't paying any attention to him or the call anymore. She was just looking over at me... Safe to say that all her attention was right at me.
" Whatever. Dadi has already given up hope in me,"
" Pch. Pari!!!! Don't do this!"
" Hmm," yeah. Safe to say that her hands were focused more on playing with my hair and her eyes were focused more on my face and I? I didn't know what to do anymore. Tried to keep my eyes closed for a second but she just began playing with my hair and then, I just couldn't focus on trying to act to sleep at all.
" At least say something! And why the hell are you doing this to me right now. Huh?! You had to dance at my wedding as it is! What is this new nakhra?!"
" Not a nakhra Pranav. I just have a lot on my plate already. Besides, I'm not even there. Just ask Prachi to help you na..."
" Oh no. Definitely something is up. What are you hiding from me?" They were twins... Right? Yeah. Just understood that because otherwise, they seem nothing close to twins. But that one question. It made her look at her phone for once and twist her lips
" Just, something," so, she didn't lie nor did she tell him the truth. Huh? Well. Fine by me. I mean, I didn't know how we were going to break it to her family but... My family already knew so... Yeah, the situation was pretty complicated to be dealt with at that point.
" Pch. Pari!"
" Accha. I have a class now! I'll call you later ok!?"
" Aye! No! You-"
" Bye! Bye!" And she just cut the call over his face before he could say anything else just to turn her head and look at me.

" Woke up?" More like, hadn't slept. But I just nodded my head when I felt her eyes at me and then, she just cuddled closer to me
" Hmm," I should have just let her sleep on me to be honest but, I just had to open my mouth... Just, this idiotic mouth and that idiotic decision that I took!

" Pari..."
" Hmm?"
" I have to go,"
" Umm! Washroom?"
" No. Delhi," I swear she bounced and sat up like a spring the moment I said that. And her eyes? They were so huge!
" WHAT?!"
" Not like forever," so, I tried to explain further
" No. Why do you have to go?!"
" To hand over my responsibilities to Kartik once and for all. To sign up petitions... There are many things I need to do that I can't do from here... And I'll come back too. I promise. Just, 1 week," I held her hand and looked at her in a convincing way but, that was going to take a long time...
