Side Effects Of Love💞

Chapter 32

Bala POV

"Yes, it has been almost 4 yrs since I met Avani akka, I lost her phone number and eventually lost touch with her. I wish I could meet her. "

Bala was lost in her thoughts, her life turned dark once Avani moved away from her life, her mother felt that Bala can pick any bad habits from colleges and didn't allow her to attend one  Instead home schooled her.

Bala was writing the given homework and frankly she didn't understand a word .

Bala unconsciously drew few curve lines on her notebook and again off-track and landed in her dreamland.

A place where she was just around people who genuinely care for her.

A pang on the door was heard which made her drop her pen on the ground.

Bala anxiously went and opened the door only to witness her mother frightened.

Bala stared blankly at her mother and raised her eyebrow.

"Akash...is married"

Bala scratched her head and questioned who the girl is.

If it is Meera , she needs not worry much but who else can be that?

"Her name is AVANI!! If at all she's the one who taught you classes in 10th, we're done, we're DONE Bala!!!!"

Bala rolled her eyes while she gently patted her mother's cheek.

"Why are you scared? If he's getting married to anyone, it's his choice leave it to him and his family, you seem to be more afraid than me eloping "

Bala's mother glared at her and caught her ear.

"Bala, grow up! Your Attaya is the bank for us, your dad never sends money, if her house is in trouble then ultimately, we're in trouble too.Just hope that the girl isn't your Avani."

Bala's mother phone got a notification, weirdly from her father, it was a photo.

Her mother squinted her eyes and  leaned forward to look at the photo only to scream.

Indeed, it was the Avani who's photo they never wanted to watch.

Bala was neither happy nor sad instead emotionless.

Apparently had no idea how to react, deep down she's happy for both but the aftermath isn't appealing.

Bala stroke her eyebrow with her finger.

"Maa, leave . "

"Ho..w can I Bala? I can assure you, they used to meet at our home. Now my brain has given a clarity why that Akash used to come to our home twice in a week just to meet that girl"

Bala's mother was hitting her head badly and Bala tried her best to stop and console her.

"Bala, promise me , that you'll act as if you know Avani , chi I mean you don't know Avani."

"Amma, is it needed?"

"It is!"

And she against her daughter's will took her promise.

At AVANI AND Akash's HOME

"Akash, I wanted to ask you something."

"Tell me my queen !"

Akash said dramatically while braiding her hair.

Avani looked at the ceiling.

"I just...wanted to know about your take on kids."

Clearly, Akash over heard her and no response came from his side.

"Akash.... Tell naa"

"What should I tell? Avani don't act like a kid!"

She shushingly repeated the question once again and alas! He couldn't here.

Akash tilted his head and bent forward, where he kept his head in the crook of her neck.

"Stop murmuring baby, you're only allowed to  scream not to mutter."

Avani moved away while she grabbed her chin and faced him now.

He was sitting on a chair and she was on the ground.

The sun was ready to visit his home and they were ready to welcome the moon and  drowse in the moonlight in the embrace of one another.

"Let's have Kiddos!!!Do you know how badly I want one? "

Avani was clearly screeching and looked into his capitavating eyes and made him hypnotise by her puppy eyes.

"Avani, don't you think, it's tooo early? I mean can't we wait for a while enjoy ourselves a bit?"

Avani took his palms and kept his warm hands around her cheeks which were already heated up .

"We've known eachother since more that 4 years and as of now, I'm just fed up with us, make me pregnant, I'll give birth and take care of  our little one. "

Akash  chuckled and gave her a smooch on her face.

Avani pushed him back while groaning.

"You have just one work to do and here, you're procrastinating and making things worse!!"

Akash threw his head backwards in laughter and asked her to come into his arms and willingly she gave her stubbornness and moved in.

Avani saw his geniue smile which reached his eyes too!

"It's a YES from my side but first, lemme cast my vote !"

By hearing the beginning words Avani clapped but instantly paused.

"Cast your vote? Obviously to your mother, wouldn't you?"

"Ofcourse, I wouldn't cast for her! "

Akash got up from his chair and moved outside the bedroom.

Avani got up too and ran behind him while cursing the curtain which was blurring her vision.

She pushed the curtain back and walked behind him.

He settled on the sofa.

Avani had no clue about why he's opposing his mother's ideology and political party.

"Akash, if you're comfortable, answer me ,why would you not support her?"

"Isn't that one least thing you could do to your mother?"

Akash took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Avani neither I'm interested in politics nor in the so-called development my mother did. Everything is the same. Nothing progressed. I would rather vote for someone who's her opponent but not her."
