Neighbours......

Chapter 5

"Kavu, it's mom calling" Sid yells from the kitchen.
"I'm coming" kavya yelled back as she put some lipgloss on her plump lips. Stared in the mirror for a last minute inspection. She smiled, satisfied with how she looked in her short white dress with a silver necklace to decorate her neck. Her hair wavy and soft.
"She wants to talk to you" Sid says as he walks into the bedroom, giving her the phone and quickly walking away.

Kavya takes a deep breath before putting the phone to her ear. "Hello mom" "what's this I hear about you going to party? And that too without Sidharth?" Her mom says sternly.
"It's Nia's birthday mom and Sid has no interest in going" Kavya explains as she rolls her eyes, sprays some perfume before leaving the room to grab her bag. 25 and still treated as if she is 12. She couldn't exactly blame her mother, she was old school, a strict disciplinarian and failed to comprehend modern concepts like 'letting your children live' or 'fun'.
"Don't worry I'll be back soon, Sid is picking me up from the party anyway" Kavya reassures, she stands near the door with her black heels on, waiting for her boyfriend to see her, Sid comes from the kitchen and looks at her. He gives her a small smile "you actually look nice" while nodding. She smiles back as a goodbye to him and shortly hangs up the call.

Sid is picking me up
I'll be back soon
You actually look nice

White lies to ease the mind.
