When paths collide again

2) STALKER!!!!

why did you keep following me? He shouted

......?? I'm confused idk what to say

What!!! Me.. Follow.. You?? I asked
Wait do I look like a stalker

Seeing as you got on the same metro as me ... Did you follow me from school

How does he come up with such absurd thoughts?
I was staring at him Cluelesly
Well........ He is quite attractive......
But still, isn't he being a bit arrogant?!!!

I wasn't following you..
I'm going home I said
Home???
Where I'll be living

He frown at me
He glance and tilt.....

You're saying that you live here???? He said while raising his one eyebrow

How..... Can someone be this rude??
Although I'm dressed more modesty than him.
I can't believe to erase any sense of gratitude I had

There are only three houses remaining at the end of this street
And I know who lives in all three of them
How about you go first ?? He said..

Fine be that way......
Never mind
I started walking I can't keep aunty waiting

Step step step..............

I think I'm at the right place I thought while looking at my phone screen

Is it.....
This one

It's very big I said in a low voice
Bigger than any other house I've passed

I feel someone presence behind me I turn around to see him
Why is he still here?
Just try to ignore him
I reached to ring the door bell

DING DONG

Hey he shouted

He pushed my hand back

What the hell are you doing he again shouted at me

What.... I said
What am I even doing

What is wrong with you? You're going so far as to ring the door bell? I thought I'd seen the last of that stalker but now it's you?
Do your parents knows that you're doing this? He said

What???
Ugh!!!! What did you just say?!!!
I don't understand why you're...
I was interrupted by aunty's voice

Oh my, did you two arrive together? She asked

.........?
Ma'am....?

I'm so confused rn wait...... Could it be...
Noooooo

Arath and Aratrika this must be your first time seeing each other she said with a beaming smile

Arath? I was told that her son's name is arath.......

You're telling me that she's going to live with us he asked aunty

Yes you know this already
I've told you countless times that Aratrika will be arriving today....... So it means that you haven't been listening to your mother have you??

She's a girl, I thought it would be a guy... He said

Didn't I tell you that she was a girl from the very start? What's with your attitude when you clearly haven't been listening to me?
Don't forget that we are in front of Aratrika
Are you going to embarrass your mother like this she said

Let's get you settled in first, you must be exhausted she said

Oh sure

I glanced at him and walked inside

Not what you were expecting right?? She asked

Huhh!!!

He acts like that from time to time because he's our only child but he's not a bad child
No I shouldn't use that as an excuse when you're turned out so well she said with a smile

I know he's my son, but even I get annoyed with him sometimes. It's because he doesn't act his age as she said

Ohh so she knows (￣∇￣)

Still he helped me out of a difficult situation I said

She gasped!!!!! What???? Arath helped you?? She asked

Well, it's not that he helped me indirectly........ I said awkwardly

What's gotten into him? He's not the type to help someone
I won't say he's say, but he is just different especially towards people
Maybe he fell for you at first sight .......just kidding
she said

I bet you everything that he didn't I thought
Click!!!!! She open the door of room in which I'm going to stay for next 2 years

Here we are...... This is the room that you'll be using from now on.

I wasn't sure what color to pick... But I hope it suits you what do you think? She asked

I'll be living here for the next 2 years....

I love it... I said
Ever since the day of the funeral, I feared that aunty might regret her decision to let me live with her family. But it turned out I was worried about nothing.......

Thankyou for everything. Thankyou so much!! I said with a bright smile

I'm glad you liked it. I look forward to having you in my home Aratrika she said while going out of the room

I changed my clothes and started unpacking my bags

Did I unpack everything??
Ooff finally I'm done!!!!

. Mr thakur is away on business trip, so I won't see him for a while....

I'm confident that I'll get along with arath
The problem is....

I remember his words "Do your parents know that you're doing this"

Sigh!!! I walked out my room....
.

Not again I saw him I need to talk to him I need to get along with him as we are going to stay in the same house...

He looked at me and turned around and started walking towards his room

Wait!! I said

He turn around and look at me with a questionable look

Aren't you going to apologize?? I asked

Whattt!!! He said

For treating me like a stalker it was your fault for making such assumptions

I end up saying it
I'm not holding a grudge against him........... but still I should get an apology if I'm going to live with him for 2 years

Where does your confidence come from, when you're practically living off of us?
You want me to apologize? I've never had to do that in my life. Let me give you a piece of advice

Know your place, freeloader, are you really in a situation to be demanding an apology from me?

And don't forget to keep your mouth shut at school

I hate having to deal with more than I need to
he said and marched towards his room and slam the door of his room

Seriously!!!!!

Is he really their biological son????

I can't believe I have to live with someone like him
It's not looking so bright
