Tere Liye .....

chapter 8

Pankhuri pov....

I sat on the couch in the hall of their big Mansion.
They are ultra rich people and I felt out of place sitting in between them .

Beta tum thik ho....his mother inquired and I nodded at her.
His sister was looking at me from the time I have entered.

You are so pretty and you have long hairs too .....will you share your hair care routine with me please.....she said all of a sudden sitting beside me and I looked at her petrified while others chuckled .

Jiii vo_ mei _ I stuttered feeling odd .
I think we should let the child rest ...she might be feeling uncomfortable with this sudden attack on her .....His father said and I mentally thanked him .

Come Pankhuri...I will show you your room ......Sanjana said and I nodded.
I came upstairs with her and she showed me a room that lies in between her room and Vaani's room .

Why they have to keep me in between...don't they have any spare room in some corner so that I can live there peacefully.....I thought.

Everything around me is lavish and scream luxury but didn't gave me a homely vibe .

Home should be a cozy and comfortable space but this mansion looks like a Hotel will servants working around.

Aapke ghar mei niche koi room nahi hai kya ...I mean baad mei mujhe problem hogi na upper niche aane mei ......

Although I don't have any problem with this room ....but if you have any spare room downstairs.....I said .

Hmmm....you are right but I thought to keep you close so you don't feel left out ...she says and I gave her a small smile.

We came downstairs and she showed me a guest room whose balcony opens into their garden and it felt really nice.

This place seems better and I can avoid that man too .......I thought.
Sanjana left asking me take some rest and freshen up .

I kept my bag in the closet and arranged my 5 pair of clothes along with my night' suits.

I took out a dupatta of my mother and felt emotional missing her.
Please wake up soon maa ....I don't feel good without you.....I prayed keeping her Dupatta close to my hrart and inhaling her essense that is the only source of peace I have at this moment.

I layed on the bed covering myself with the Dupatta and felt asleep in no time as I was really feeling exhausted.

I woke up hearing the knock on the door and looked out of the window to see that it has turned dark .

I opened the room and it was Sanjana....
It's Dinner time ...come join us ....she said and I looked at her nervously.

Aap mera khaana room mei bhej Sakti hai .....mujhe aadat nahi hai asse khane ki I told her and she smiled and nodded.

Okay ....I won't force you to join us. Make your self comfortable first ..she said and I thanked her .

A helper named Rani brought me food and my medicine and I thanked her .

I ate the food in silence and blinked my eyes remembering about the time my mother used to feed me with her own hands.

I chocked on the food and starting coughing.
I realised that I didn't have water here in the room and continue to cough.

Everyone might be eating their food and would get disturbed seeing me coughing in between so I didn't go around and rubbed my throat trying to sooth the itching in my throat.

Suddenly the door opened and he entred the room .
What happened...did you ate something you are allergic too ....he asked and I shook my head trying to say something but coughed hard .

He shouted for a helper to bring me water and made sip some and I finally felt better.
Sanjana and others came too and I felt embarrassed.

Kya hua beta .....thik toh ho tum ....His mother asked me worriedly and I nodded at her .

Vo kuch nahi Aunty Jiii khana atak gaya tha aur Paani bhi nahi tha ....I am sorry.....aap log disturb ho gye ...I said and she shook her head.

Beta isme sorry jesa kya hai ......bahar aa jati ....Paani maang leti kisi se ......She said and I nodded at her.

They all left except him and I waited for him to leave too but he was looking at me folding his hands on his chest.

Maa Bane vaali ho tum.....don't act childish and it will be better for you if take proper care of yourself....or I will have to keep a care taker for you too who will stay with you .....He said and I looked away .

Take your medicine on time....he said and then left making me huff ..

Iss Hitler ke bache ko jaman dena bhi world war 2 se kam nahi hai ... 
Thik hai ....ho jata hai ....ab bache ke liye meri jaan hi lega kya ....I muttered shaking my head and had my food and medicine.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face and I again got back to my sleep...

Next morning......

I woke up in the morning hearing the chirping of the birds ...well that's new as earlier I used to get up listening to the loud horns and noise of the people.

I rubbed my eyes and realised that where I am and why I am here ....
Good morning baby .....it's our 2nd day today.....hope you have settled well inside me .....I giggled at the thought and then walked to the washroom to get with my morning routine.

Well I am missing my mother but I won't cry now..... crying is not a good sign.... Instead I will pray for her to get well soon ....

I brushed my teeth untill my gums start to bleed and then washed my mouth.
This washroom is as big as my room back home .....

These rich people just need to put the money in everything....there are so many taps here....2 would have been enough....

I took a bath shrugging the thoughts away and got ready in my usual clothes.
I combed my hairs and put them in a braid so that they don't get tangled.

I wore my sandals and came out of the room gathering all my courage.

It was quite early and I didn't see any house member.
Only the servants were doing there work ...

You need anything ma'am ....One of them asked .
Jiii.... kitchen kaha hai ....mujhe ek cup chai  Banani hai apne liye ....I said and he looked at me awkwardly.

Ma'am you want to have tea ....you can ask the cook .....That servant said and I frowned.
Chai ke liye konse cook lagte hai ....aur vese bhi mujhse sirf maa ke haath ki ya apni banai Hui chai pasand hai .....

Nahi mei khud bana lungi....aap mujhe bata do kitchen kis aur hai .....I asked him again and he finally led to the biggest kitchen I have ever seen in my life.

I acted normal although I was completely mesmerized inside .
I look at the stove and the chimney and lights over it ......

I started to make a tea for my self and here they have diffrent kinds of tea but I choose a simple one .

I sat on the sofa and was enjoying my morning tea in silence when I found him ascending down stairs wearing joggers and T shirt.

Bhagwan....subh subh darshan ho gye rakshak ke bas ab ye mere muh na lag jaaye aake.....I prayed to God closing my eyes and when I opened them he was standing in front of me eyeing my tea .

Chai kyu pi Rahi ho itni subh mei ......He asked me making me frown .
Chai pine ke liye hi hoti hai .....I said and he sighed.

Pine ke liye toh baaki cheeje bhi hai ........you know that you have to maintain a healthy diet .....juice hai ... smoothly hai .....lekin tumhe chai chaiye hai subh ke 7 baje ....he said scolding me .

Kya hua hai Vidyut.......subh subh kyu uss bechari ko daat Raha hai .....his mother came to my rescue.
Daat nahi raha tha Mom .... I was just asking her to opt for healthy drinks early in the morning.....he said ..

Chai bhi thik hai ....let her eat what she loves .....you don't have to force feed her things she doesn't like..things would not work out like that ......she said to him .
