The doorbell rang. It was around 11 AM in the morning.
"Kiana, beta, dekhna zara kaun aya hai?" Her mother Sarika said.
Kiana went to receive the door. She opened the door and got surprised to see Abhishek standing there.
"Bhaiya ap? Aandar aiyen..." Kiana stepped aside giving him space to enter the house.
Abhishek greeted Raka and others. His eyes wandered around the house. Everyone understood whom he was searching for.
"Di apne room mein hai. Nikli nehi hai room se." Kabir said while buttering his bread seeing Abhishek's desperate eyes.
Abhishek went towards her room and knocked on door. He heard a voice from inside asking who was there.
"Kreya main hu." Abhishek yelled enough for her to hear.
Hearing Abhishek's voice, she rushed towards the door like a lovesick puppy. She fixed her hair and composed herself but didn’t open the door. She leaned against the closed doorframe. Even though, she knew it was Abhishek, she thought to mess around. So she asked, "Main kaun bhai?"
"Arey yaar, main hu, Abhishek." Abhishek said in a desperate tone.
Even though, he couldn’t see her, Kreya kept a hand on her mouth to control her laugh.
"Itni subah subah kya karraha hai?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"Maharani ji, yeh apko subah lagrahi hai? Douper ho ja rahi hai." Abhishek said.
"Abbey kyun aya yeh bata. Vashan mat de. " Kreya said.
"Darwaza toh khol." Abhishek said.
"Kholdenge. Aap batayein pehle." She replied.
"Kitni ziddi hai tu yaar. Tujhe bahar le jaane aya hoon." Abhishek said.
She cleared her throat. "Date pe le jaa raha hai?" she playfully said.
"Waisa hi samajh ab nikal room se. Saradin valu ke tarah padi rehti hai room mein." Abhishek said.
"Tu bhi kam nehi hai panda." she said.
"At least cute hu." He said smirking.
"Valu hoon na? Dekhna kha jaungi." She said.
"Pehle room se toh nikal. Phir kha lena aram se." He said.
"10 minute ruk." she said and went to her washroom and got ready. When she was getting ready, her eyes caught up her mask and the scar on her face. She stared at her mask in her hand for sometime then took a deep breathe and kept the mask in the drawer and smiled at herself in the mirror. She got out of the room and went towards living room where Abhishek was waiting for her along with her family.
"Shall we?" She asked gaining their attention. They looked at her but this time, she didn’t wear her mask. She didn’t hide her face. There was a smile on her face instead.
