Vidyut pov.....

I have talked to your principal....abhi 20 days ki classes hai phir examination break hoga .....

Exams thode delay ho gye hai elections ki vajah se ......I informed her and she nodded.

I looked at her clothes and realised that she doesn't have much clothes to wear. She keep on repeating these few clothes only.

Kal se attend karne classes ...abhi chalo ....I said to her and she frowned.

Abhi kaha Jana hai  .....she asked me.
Hai kuch kaam tum chalo ....I said and started walking towards the parking lot and she followed me quitely.

I drove to the nearest Mall and she looked at me confused.
Come ....I said and got out of the car .

I walked her to the Ladies section and turned to her .
Apne liye kuch kapde lelo ......I said and she looked away feeling a bit embarrassed.

She nodded and started looking for some suitable dress .
I made a call Lily asking her to schedule my meeting after the lunch hours.

I looked at her who was roaming through the different sections looking confused.
You didn't like anything here ....I asked her .

Mehnga hai yaha sab .....she muttered and I looked at the price tag of the kurti she was holding.
It was just 3k rupees .

I let out a sigh . I know she is finding things costly but actually they are not .
She won't be pick up clothes by herself till tomorrow if she keep looking at the price tags.

Go and sit there..... I said pointing at the couch and she nodded .
I called the reception girl and asked her to show me the latest kurti collection.

I selected all the dresses for her .
The girl sitting there...uske size ki jeans bhi dikhao....I said pointing at Pankhuri who was looking around with curiosity.

Later I shopped for jeans , trousers, some Indian dresses and got them packed.
As I stood near the bill counter she approached me .

She looked at the bill of 85k and widen her eyes.
Sirf kapdo ke liye itne paise karch kar diye aapne ....she looked at me with disbelief and I bit back my smile looking at her reaction.

As I took out my card to pay the bill she shook her head and forwarded her card .

Isme hai paise jo aapne diye the....vese bhi ab mujhe inki jaroorat bhi nahi hai .......she said a bit sadly remembering her mother .

It's okay...ye future mei tumhare kaam aayege....rakh lo .....let me pay for your clothes now ....I insisted but she shook her hand .

Nahi ......aap apne paise waste mat kijiye....mere paas hai abhi .....She said and handover her card to the cashier.

Foot wear bhi le lo .....I said and she looked at her slippers for a moment and then nodded .

She bought a pair of simple slippers leaving all the fancy options.
Ek se kya hoga ....at least 4-5 le lo .....I said and she looked at me .

Itne ka mei kya Karugi... she said and I looked at her surprised.
What kind of girl she is. Sanjana and Vaani would have bought half of the mall by now and she is not buying the needful .

I asked the sales person to pack few more pairs and he nodded.
She paid the bill .

Kuch aur cheeje chaiye toh udhar ladies section mei jaake le lo.....make up and other personal things......I said pointing at a woman store.

Mei yahi wait karta hu .....I said to give her some space in case she wants to buy some personal things.

Nahi mujhe nahi chaiye kuch bhi ....she denied looking away .
Am I making her uncomfortable.

It's okay nahi chaiye toh bhi ek baar dekh lo jaake ...mujhe ek important call karni hai .....I made an excuse and she nodded entering the store .

I pretended to be on a call when she looked at me and then walked ahead .
I sighed.

I don't know why I am doing all this. But I really want to help her out or she will slip into depression.
Sometimes I feel that we are selfish that we are using her knowing her mental state. But the implant has been done before her mother died.

I would have not forced her to go for it again if it didn't turned out succesful. But she got pregnant and now I can't do anything about it .

So I am trying to help her . I Wish Sanjana would have done this  but she is so much obsessed with her New York project that she won't compromise it for anything.

She had to go after 5 months but then only 3 months will be left for delivery and she should be here to take the responsibility of child after he or she is born as Pankhuri will leave after the birth .
So I suggested her to postpone it but she pre-poned it .

She came out after some time and I noticed a small bag with her but pretend to be unaware of it as I don't want to make her uncomfortable.

Would you like to eat something....I asked as it was around 2 pm but she shook her head.

Kyu.... medicine nahi leni kya ....I asked her.
Aapke ghar jaake kha lungi kuch .....she said and I nodded..

The whole ride back to home was silent. She was staring outside and I was focusing on the road .

I remember about the day her mother died.
She was half conscious while doing the last rites and then blacked out .
I was the one who give the fire to the pyre and completed the rest other things as she has no one else.

When she gained her consciousness back that day after reaching home she turned into a crying mess and the doctor has to inject her to make her sleep.

I don't know after that day I just couldn't get her that image out of my head.
She refused to eat anything and was on saline for initial few days .

I shrugged all these thoughts away and looked at her who was has now fallen asleep.

I just don't know where she will go after 8 months.
I hope Mom really found a good match for her who is ready to accept her .
She won't be same after giving birth to a baby .

Now I feel guilty for making her Do these things. She is just few year older than Vaani and is going through so much at such a young age .

We reached home and I shook her a bit waking her up .
Thank you...she thanked me and I nodded.

I had my Lunch with them and then came to my office.... thinking about Pankhuri....
