An Unexpected Life Companion (Completed) Watty's 2024

Chapter 20

Diya POV

Vikram works as a professor with the same college for about 5 years right now. I mean how did Aunty fail to mention either of us that the other one is going to be in same college with them ? Aunty was definately having her own share of fun through our situation.

Me: Vikram, Aunty knew you work there and I would be studying there and yet she never mentioned it to either of us. 

Vikram: You know that is what was going on in my head, do we confront her or 

Me: Lets act like we dint even meet today, she would be eagerly waiting for our reaction today, lets not give her that. 

Vikram: That would be a right revenge

We both reached our mansion and as expected Aunty was waiting for us with Zyra perched on her hips. We walked inside, passing a smile to each other. I took Zyra from her and showered her with hugs and kisses while she was kicking her legs in anticipation. Vikram did the same and we three had a group hug.

We handed Zyra to Aunty to go freashen up and Aunty looked dissapointment, she must have expected her share of fun but we were acting pretty neutral while she was trying to ask us about our day and we casually ignored that question and diverted the topic.

After going to our room we giggled at her expressions and went down for our snack. She served us hot tea with sandwiches. While we were relishing the taste she observed us curiously.

Aunty : So guys how was your day today ?

Me and Vikram both together : It was great

Aunty : So what happened 

Me: I had my classes, met my professors

Aunty: Oh you met all of them ?

Me: Yeah all of them, Vikram was great today as our professor, the rest were all fine too

Aunty: So, you were okay with him being your professor ?

Me: I already knew I was going to meet him in college, we already talked about this, it was pretty casual

Aunty: When did you know ?

Me: On our first night, we had very deep conversations that day. I mean it was special night for both of us

Aunty: Oh come on enough with the "all is good talk", I saw you coming down in middle of the night to pick up Zyra and I saw Vikram sleeping on the couch. I thought that it will be fun to see your guys reaction when you both face each other for the first time, you would talk, you would communicate and finally you will learn something new about the other person. I just assumed that through this silly tiffs you both have you will communicate more openly because that is when you both actually open up, I am sorry you guys.

I walked up to Aunty and I hugged her fondly

Me: Aunty, we just got married, we are in the process of understanding each other. With time everything will sort itself out, believe me. You dont worry okay ??

Vikram: Aunty, you have been my mother since my own mom died, I love you and I respect you, so you dont have to feel guilty for this, you genuinely want us to be happy, we understand. Just give us some time.

Aunty: Okay, I am sorry guys, I dint mean to interfere or judge. You both are the most sorted people I know, I just dint want you sad okay ?

Me and Vikram : Okay

That night when I was applying the lotion on my hands, I remembered Aunty's words. She is right, we have to overcome the awkward phase and become good friends that is how we would even be able to communicate well. Vikram came out of the washroom, and gave me a smile, he was about to lay his pillows and blankets when I stopped him.
