Her

Key to Everything

Naini POV

When I returned to where my friends are sitting I overheard them whispering to eachother and I eavesdroped on them.
"Well I think we should show her" Tristi said...
"I agree but now is not the time... She is already having a hard time accepting that he is back plus her brother is in ICU right now" Shailu sounded a bit frustrated by the fact that Tristi is persistent in showing me something... I decided they'll tell me when the time is right so I went upto them and sat on my seat.
"Ok so... We need to talk. But not here, follow me to the back" I say and we went to the back where he is in the room so I stopped right outside the door and stopped Tristi who was about to open that door and said
" No! First we need to talk before you see what's in the room"
"Okay. Go ahead" Shailu said.
"This plane is not Vikky's. This is Reyansh Rana's flight and he offered it to us because we needed to travel as soon as we could but according to a rule he also needs traveling with us... He is hiding in the room since we got into the plane. I out of my curiosity open that door and found out about it.... And I may or may not have accepted to speak with him after my brother gets stable." I said all of it in one breath. Both of them were first shocked then their expression turned to understand and lastly smile. They both just nodded and went back the the seats and I was also returning when
"May I suggest something if you don't mind?" Mr. Rana asked.
I nodded.
"Vikram has already booked your hotel so can I take all your things there so that you all can go and visit Nihal first before you get some rest?.. it will be easier that way " he said. Even though he didn't voice it I heard the silent message 'I don't want you to stress yourself '. And I felt overwhelmed so I just nodded and left.
"What took you so long," Tristi asked me as I sat in my seat
"Our luggage will be taken to the hotel directly we can go visit my brother first and then go relax in our rooms the check in hotel booking has also being done." I said
"Okay" she replied.
Then I glanced at my parents who were sleeping in eachother's arms. Then sent a silent prayer to God asking to keep my brother safe.
"Naini ?" Shailu called me.
"Hmm?"
"Why were soo upset when you found out he shifted all his companies to our city just to be with you?"
"Shailu, for me him leaving wasn't the actual problem. It was him not speaking with me or giving me a reason... If he had told me that he'll come back for me I would have happily waited but he didn't tell me. He decided on his own and never bothered to ask me what I want. For me Communication is the key to Everything and he didn't communicate.. I still am upset about it. Cause I know I still love him but my trust in him is gone because he didn't communicate and I don't want to live with a possibility of him leaving me again "

"Communication is the key to Everything " they both said it at the same time like they just realised something. So I left them to think about it and open my laptop and sent a note to Alex my tech guy to get all the information on the attack done on my brother cause I want to kill them with my own hands. After Alex said it'll take him 1 hour gather the information I close the laptop and started re-reading my book, then I laughed at the irony in the story of both mine and Ava Chen's
