Aratrika pov
Wow.....
So many people.....
I reached delhi this place is so crowded
Right now I'm waiting for the metroMaybe I shouldn't have refused when they offered to give me a ride
No, I can't do that when they've already done so much
After some time the metro arrived I entered the metro and settled down
Flashback
On the day of my grandmother's funeral, I took on the responsibilities as her only remaining family
She's very mature for her age
Mrs sharma must have been like a mother to her but the child won't even let herself cry
They're all grown up at the age of 16
She's NOT an adult yet, but she'll survive
But she's still a kid.....
Poor thing
That was when Mrs Sunita Thakur my grandmother's former student approached me
I am so sorry to hear that your beloved grandmother has passed away. I know she meant a great deal to you and that you will miss her terribly. I hope that you will be able to remember her with joy and not too much sadness. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm here for you
Come live with me Aratrika. When I was going through a difficult time. Mrs sharma was the only person who helped me. She'll always be my savior and mentor
But...
Before I could speak something, she hold my handsYou may feel like an adult, but you're at an age where you need someone to look after you
Although she was close to my grandmother, she's still a stranger to me....
Is it right to take advantage of her hospitality? What if I'm being selfish?At the very least, it was your grandmother's last wish to watch over you until you became independent
Aratrika will you let me stay by your side?
Countless thoughts crossed my mind. But her warm hands seemed to thaw my frozen heart
Present
Does this mean that Mr Thakur knows about me? he approves?
Didn't she also say she had a son my age?
I wonder what he's like
If he's aunty's son he must be a warm person
I hope we get along
Suddenly click sound grabbed my attention the person sitting besides me was clicking photos of the girl standing infront of her ewww pervert
What? ..... Mister what are you doing
You were taking pictures of the girl in front of you right?
I said it loudlyWhat?!! What kind of......
How dare you try and pick a fight with me?
he shouted at meWait a minute did he really take pictures? The girl asked me
Yes.......
Mister? Show me your phone?
This girl claims to have seen you taking pictures of me!!! She said while looking at me
What? Why the heck would you need my phone?
I can't believe this...... Why would I do suck a thing at my age? Do you have proof???
So show me your phone right now
You....... Out of my way he pushed me with his shoulder and started moving away
Suddenly someone stepped on his foot and he tripped down
Thud!!
Ahhhhh......
Owww my backHey you bastard just what do you think you're doing, standing like that in a crowded subway?
You're the one who wasn't looking, so don't blame it on me.
What...... Th_that......
Oh I thought he was helping us but.....
He kick that the phone towards us...... Wait did he just do that on purpose??
What....... What was I thinking? I have to get off here I ran out of the metro
I started walking and I remember what she said
Flashback
"Our house is slightly far from the station, so it won't be easy to find "
I can ask my son to pick up from the station she said
No no no it's fine I'll manage I said
Are you sure? She said
Yeah it's fine I said
Flashback ends
Maybe I shouldn't have refused when she aked me but I can't be burden on then they're already doing a lot for me
What a picturequeplace
The house look so fancy
Now that I think about it doesn't her husband work look so fancy
Now that I think about it doesn't her husband work at a hospital as an assistant director....?
Her house must be towards the end
Huh?
Isn't that guy from earlier?
Does he live here?
We all weren't sure if he did it on purpose or not....
But after seeing how he tripped the old man and passed us the phone
I knew it was intentional.
He must have been helping us right.....?
How nice of him
He stopped and turn around he looked at me
And then again started walkingAfter few minutes
HEY

What do... You mean?

He yelled at me
