Kiyah 


This is my first time experiencing what it really meant to have an awkward silence while eating breakfast !, even when i was eating alone, it didn't felt this suffocating ever. it was me, saira and my two uninvited guests, who sat down to have breakfast on my dinning table. it was more like saira was having her breakfast and three of us sat to accompany her with cup of coffee in our hands each. yes it is arnav's second cup, i think he really like coffee made by me.

" why did you went to old haveli ?" ansh directed this question towards saira. i could see saira stiffen under our gaze.

" ah..... i feel ........i heard that you had repurchased it and wanted to take a look of a place where our entire childhood was spent" as saira finished her sentence, i could see ansh's expression soften visibly. then again there was that silence, oh my god ! i really can't bear it anymore

" oh, its quite late , wow i didn't even notice" i said looking that clock, trying to make them realize that it is not a public place to chill for how much time they want but my own house and this house owner is really not that friendly to want any of you to stay even for a second more.

both ansh and arnav look at me for five second with blank look and then look away as if i didn't just said to them to get out in polite way.

this fuckers! they are really best friends, cut from same clothe.

" yes, it is quite late, we should go now" saira said as she must have look how my face turn ugly as i was sending daggers to both males in the room. she is really a sweetheart. she got up and really drag both of them out of house, arnav walk out straight without looking back whereas ansh look back at me with reluctance in his eyes as he reach the door, i quickly averted my eyes and look at my slippers. i heard footsteps of walking away and look back to see only saira at the door.

" sorry for the trouble kiyah, i didn't know that......" saira started out nervously as she look at me with concern filled eyes.

" actually its alright as i really didn't know what i would have done with your drunken self yesterday if not for them being there " i sincerely comforted her as i know its not her fault.

" so.... friends ?" she asked with wide eyes.

" of course " i laughed and she sighed in relief. after saira telling me to stay in contact and that in the future she will show beautiful places in the city to me, she left.

i locked the door and turn around to look at my now empty house, it gave me mix feeling so decided to call home and also my brother to relieve my boredom.

Next few weeks, my life return to normal routine with planning drafts, socializing with my colleagues and going to site once or twice and i didn't encounter saira but she was still in contact with me saying she will come to find me but when? that i don't know and i am really busy that i didn't even ask her.

today i am flying back to city A for ashi's engagement. it has more than three months, i started working in city R and because i wanted to take some days off, i have been too busy to even spare time for my lunch, it was hectic but effective as i finally submitted my draft this morning before my departure. ashi and her partner both wanted to do their engagement in city A as both their parents and relatives live there, my parents are also invited and so my mother is responsible for my outfit. one of my biggest dilemma was solve and i can happily and with relaxed mind spend next four, five days with my family and friends. as soon as i reach the airport gate after my flight landed, i saw my brother waiting for me.

" you are late, do you know for how much long i had to wait for you" karan complained when he spotted me coming towards him with that grumpy face of his but still took all the bags from me.
