Day we met

Chapter 23-New began

"Are you nuts? Why did you come back?" My Dad growled with anger. Today I was supposed to meet her in the restaurant but before meeting her I realized I was doing it because of Dad., when I looked back on my life I realized everything I had done was my dad's decision, I lived in a way the way he wants me to live, and because of this I lost Mia.

" I'm sorry Dad, I went there because you want me to go only because of your willingness. All these days I live by myself according to your plans but not anymore. I want to change myself from this moment." I confronted father. For the past 2 months, I has learned to live for himself.

"From this day I'll live my life with my own rules. I'll do things which I like most. These 2 months have taught me a lot. Do you remember that you taught me that living for oneself isn't wrongdoing, so please let me do things which I want and live as I wish" I confronted my parents. My mom raised her hand to slap me, but my sister-in-law stopped him, like my brother, my sister-in-law always defends us. My parents didn't say anything. I felt relieved after saying that I had been hiding for the past few months. Mia might be happy if she knew about this. My parents are astonished by their son's odd behavior.

Mia isn't in my life but Saakshi is there for me like Mia. I want to share this news with Saakshi, I want to share my happiness with her, so I dialed her number. She didn't answer her phone at first, but again I dialed her number

"I'll call you later," Saakshi's voice came through the phone, cutting off my attempt to share my news with her.

"Are you busy?" I asked, a hint of concern creeping into my tone.

"No, I felt like someone was stalking us recently, so I set a trap for them," she explained,

"Where are you? I'm coming," I insisted, my concern growing stronger. I needed to make sure she was safe, regardless of her protests.

"Don't bother," she replied dismissively, but then she shared her location with me anyway. Without hesitation, I hurried to where she was.

Arriving at the location she had sent, I spotted Saakshi engaged in conversation with a guy. Relief washed over me as I approached them, grateful to see her safe and seemingly unharmed.

"What's going on?" I asked, trying to catch my breath after rushing over.

Saakshi glanced at me, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Oh, hey! I didn't expect you to come," she said, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"You sounded worried, so of course, I had to check on you," I replied, feeling a mixture of relief and confusion. "Who's this?"

"He lives near Dia's house. He's the stalker. He's working as an intern." I cut off her "Tell me who he is?"

"He likes Dia, and he wants me to help him to hook up with Dia" She gave details about him. He's a stranger, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy. Yet I was worried we couldn't judge people by their looks.

"Are you crazy Saakshi? What if you run into someone bad?" I screeched in annoyance.

" Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself," she assured me with a contemptuous smile on her face.

I don't understand what this girl is exactly... Sometimes I think she's strong and mature. Sometimes I think she's vulnerable. I was a bit surprised she behaved like a crazy and childish kid. The more I'm trying to understand her, the more that cracks me up.

"I think it's not a good idea to hook up with Dia" I whispered in her ear. What if Dia comes to know about this, she won't forgive Saakshi.

"Sorry, Mister, we have something to do. Come on, Saakshi, let's go," I intervened firmly, pulling Saakshi away from the guy.
