I need your thoughts on this chapter.
After reading this chapter tell me who do you think is at fault.
Avneet or Siddharth?

9. Is He Mine?

It was evening and they were sitting on the dining table, discussing and chatting about their days.

"Anyways, Siddharth and you,both of you seem to be really...fine with everything?", Jannat asked the question that had been bugging her ever since.

"Well, Siddharth and I had a talk this Sunday, we bumped into each other near the elevators.", Avneet averted her eyes from Jannat's, "It was really awkward but Siddharth suggested we push past everything and not make it awkward. We have to work together now, it would be uncomfortable."

Jannat gave her a look. "Okay, nice.", she said, blankly. Avneet ignored her. She knew what Jannat wanted.

Jannat wanted her to run to Siddharth and tell him, 'Hey, Sid? Remember the baby we were having? Oh yes, the one you told me to abort and I told you I did. Well, I lied. I gave birth to him and look he's almost four years old! You've met him already, you just didn't know he is yours!'

After that Siddharth would slap her and take her son away from her.

No thanks, I'd rather not. Avneet shuddered at her own thoughts.

The conversation after that went awkwardly until Jannat started talking about job hunting. She still did not have a job and she wanted to find one.

Jannat's family was loaded, unlike Avneet's or Siddharth's. Her father and her brother both were businessmen, they owned chains of restaurants all over India.

She did not need to earn but for the sake of passing her time and finding some amusement in life, she wanted to work.

And half an hour later now, they were planning on Ishaan's room.

"I think I'll give the extra room to Ishaan. You know how he's a 'big boy' now and how 'big boys don't live with their Mumma'!", Avneet grumpily complained to Jannat in the evening about how Ishaan had demanded that he needs a room.

It's been two days since Avneet joined Blive. She goes for vocal lessons daily and they are skimping over lyrics for her debut song. They have already taken measures for making her clothes, outfits and accessories and by the next week she's going to have her first ever photoshoot.

She was really excited. She was living her dream.

Jannat laughed. "My boy is adorable", she said fondly.

"he's a brat.",Avneet corrected her, rolling her eyes. Jannat scoffed.

"As if you weren't the biggest brat when you were younger!", she retorted.

"Don't even try!", she warned when she saw Avneet opening her mouth, probably to retaliate, "I was there to witness all of it!

"Okay, fine! Whatever.", she muttered, not denying.

".... before I could even touch! And the damn audacity! She gobbled down the whole damned  plate of pasta right in front of my eyes!"

Anushka hummed, boredly.

"She's such a petty little bitch!"

"Hmm..."

Siddharth pauses to glance at Anushka. "You're listening, right, Anu?", he asked and Anushka hummed again.

Siddharth nodded in satisfaction. "Okay and-"
