The whole dinner I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I will have to spend a day with Kain Bhaiya, who clearly disliked me the most. I even tried to get the day swapped but it didn't work out. Dad said a harsh 'no' to my face. Talk about getting rejected. Huff.
How am I gonna spend a whole day with him?! It would be a nightmare. Thoughts like these haunted my mind throughout dinner. Once alone I had the time and space to analyse the situation, as a result of which, I was full on panicking. Then I told myself to calm down and think about all the pros and cons present.
Okay so cons first!
-Kain Bhiaya hates me.-He was glaring at me the whole time because he was obviously against the whole idea of spending time with me.
-He is one of the most scary ones.
-He would probably bully me more when we're are alone.
-Also I am damn scared of him. So, it's not like we will get to know eachother even a bit.
Okay so these are the cons but what are the pros? Ummm. Nothing. Nothing?
At this thought I felt like crying again. So, I had to go though all of this for absolutely nothing. I just wanted to curl up in one corner of my room and die. Like seriously, why does this always happen to me?
The night was terrible, I couldn't sleep a wink. I guess, it was because I was in a new place and wasn't used to sleeping there. I got up from my bed and got ready for the day. I wore a white T-shirt paired with loose pants and white sneakers, then went downstairs to eat. There I met nobody at the dinning table. So, I thought that maybe I was early but then a voice from behind scared me to death.
"Baba everybody already ate. You were tired that's why nobody bothered you." I turned around to come face-to-face with a old woman, maybe in her late forties. She was wearing the househelp uniform so I got an idea of who she was. She gave me a kind smile so I returned the gesture. Then she went ahead and served me my breakfast. I ate while she arranged the dishes in the dishwasher. We made small talk till Kain Bhaiya came and ordered me to be ready in 10 minutes.
So, I shoved everything in my mouth and then went ahead to change. Wearing a simple black straptop which showed a bit of my stomach with a black skirt that went down to my knees. I paired it with my watch that Naana had gifted me and simple earrings. While leaving the same sneakers on I went downstairs again to see Kain Bhaiya sitting on the couch, waiting for me.
Once I was infront of him, he lifted his head to look at me. His eyes sweept across my outfit and he frowned.
"Go put on a brazer or something." His tone wasn't hostile but it was still stern. I opened my mouth to protest but he bet me to that.
"No arguments. You will do as I say or..." I didn't let him finish as I dashed back to my room and put on a black shirt that I stole form Naana. I kept three buttons undone, so that my top was still visible. I ran back and his time Kain Bhaiya got up, ready to leave. So, I took it as a sign that he didn't mind my outfit now. I went after him but when I was about to sit in the front of his car, he stopped me and told me to sit in the back. Meanie.
The drive was silent but I was not bothered in the least as I was too busy enjoying the view outside. Well until we stopped midway, as I turned around to ask Bhaiya what happened I saw someone else getting in. The new passanger was a girl who kissed my brother's cheek, I realised soon enough that she must be his girlfriend. I couldn't see her face from my seat but the girl noticed me and turned around.
She was really pretty. Like really. Though the moment she looked at me her smile turned into a frown.
"Kain you said it was gonna be just us and now you bought some other girl. Also someone who looks 10." She whined and my eyes widened. I was about to give her a formal introduction, maybe also a piece of my mind about how she was the one wearing clothes that looked like they were meant to be worn by some 10 year old but Bhiaya beat me to that.
