Her pov:
When Anu got back from the shower I tried to talk to her but she ignored. I went to the bathroom and took a good hot water shower. I chose to wear suit today. As the family friends were arriving.
There was only one dressing table in the room so we had to share. I thought now we'll talk. But the moment I reached the dressing table and picked up the comb.
"I'm done getting ready, you continue" She said and went out of the room slamming the door behind her.
God! I have to make it upto her and she needs to understand me.
I got ready wearing a white colored suit. And came downstairs. I saw her cutting some salad. I went towards her and picked up a tomato to cut it.
"I'll see if the dishes are placed on the table" She said moving away.
I held her wrist causing her to stop.
"Whatttt????" She shouted.
"Why are you ignoring me?" I asked I'm the same tone.
"You do not get the right to talk to me like that I'm not the one who hid things from you" She spatted back.
"And you need to calm down and see the story from my perspective. And stop making it all about yourself" I said.
"Making it about myself? Here, I'm thinking how you dealt with all of this and you think-" She stopped in between and said "Leave it" She said and started moving again. I hugged her from behind and said.
"I'm sorry, Anu. I know if you were in my place I'd be the first person you would've told this about. But I never recovered from it. Neither I had the courage to say anything to anyone. Tanu knows about it because that night she saw me getting assaulted"
"And she didn't stop that jerk from coming towards you?" She turned around and said.
"It was too late for it, Anu" I said calmly.
"I'm confused- i-" She tried to say and I cut her in between by saying.
"I'll tell you everything after the breakfast"
"Okay" She said.
Mumma entered the kitchen.
"You both, what are you doing here? You can talk for the whole day but now let's look after the breakfast preparations, girls" Mumma said.
"Yes" We both said to her. And started seeing the preparations.
Guests arrived in some time. And I had to say they were very particular to the time. I greeted both Uncle and Aunty with utter respect. Not gonna lie they had such a fancy name. Mr. Ankush Malhotra & Mrs. Madhu Malhotra.
We all sat on the dining table. And today's breakfast menu was a little fancy than usual. We had pancakes with chocolate syrup above it, the rest was normal breafast Omelette, bread n butter, boiled eggs, salad, aloo parathas, juice, coffee, tea and some imported biscuits.
Dining table conversations:
"So what's your qualification, Arika?" Uncle asked while munching on salad.
"I did my internship in Anurag Kashyap's Corporations while getting my bachelor's degree in Business Administrations" I said.
It's a normal dinner conversation in brown household when the guests arrive. It's the first question they always ask.
"Very good, so what are your future plans now?" Aunty asked while drinking juice.
"Umm.. Right now I'm just exploring my interests, nothing as such in common" I answered.
