Her patience

3. Meeting / introduction

Author's POV

Since the guests were coming to see her today, see went home sooner than usual, bidding Vishal farewell. "Don't worry, if you don't like him, just reject him, don't think of an excuse, you not liking him is an excuse itself." Vishal lectured her before she went home.

She reached her home, entering the living room, her mom saw her, smiling she said," go freshen up and change into a saree, I have put that on your bed with some minimal jwellery. They'll be here in half an hour."

Ishika sighed and nodded, making her way towards her room. She saw the saree and jewelleries on her bed, her bedroom was small but enough space for her. A queen sized bed, a huge cupboard in front of it, balcony attached to right, and bathroom attached too and a two recliner sofas and round coffee table on the left side of the bed.

She smiled down on her bed, holding the saree. She was still contemplating about if the man coming to see her is good enough, should she say yes or no!! Because she liked Aakarsh but he is out of her league. Sighing and whining again she went to the restroom to freshen up.

Her mother has put picture of the man on the side table of the bed, which she didn't see.

Aakarsh really didn't want to go to see some girl, he'd just ruin her life. How can someone even handle his DID. That's impossible. Telling his family that he has DID, would be like talking to a rock. They'll just toss it off saying, that he is stressed and has anger issues or he has some work problems so he should rest enough and he'll be fine.

Only he, his assistant and his friend knows what he's been going through, he couldn't be able to control himself, he didn't know at start what was happening to him, it was like a blackout for him at start, he couldn't remember what he did in the half of the day. When he talked to his friend, be suggested going to psychiatrist, then only he found out that he has DID.

He had a hard time accepting it and accepting them. He didn't how he behaved or talked to people. He only knew when his friend recorded him when he was having a personality of a kid, just for fun and showing his friend that how cute he was behaving like that.

Poor soul was hella embarrassed of himself like that, then again he can't help it, so he asked his assistant to record him if he behaved unusual of himself. Then he knew about other personalities room. And after that he used to keep a diary for them. He writes whatever he wants to say to them and put it in a noticeable place. That's how they communicate.

When the kid version of him, AARU communicated with him well, there the other two did not at first. One opened up after sometimes, but that one raged, dominant and scary personality of him just mocks at him. He doesn't write often but still, Aakarsh does warm him not to do anything reckless, it's not like he can control the personality. It was he, himself. He found out many reckless things when ARSON, personality take in him did.

Sighing he went out of the his room, ready in a checkered gray suit, hair half slicked back and some strands falling over his forehead. He went down the stairs to meet his whole family in the living room smiling. Those smiles are genuine enough, but it suffocates him.

They love him and adore him, but it went to a level that they don't really understand when he's saying something serious problem, like his DID and the reasons for him not getting married. He has already told them that no one can handle his 'anger issues or stress' as they liked to call his mental disease.

"Let's go. Kitna pyara lag raha hai mera bachcha." His mother, Rupal kissed his forehead and placed a kala tika behind his ears.
(My son looks so lovely)

He smiled looking at her, the smile that rarely comes out to his pretty and slightly chapped lips except when he is playing with his w year old nephew, Anish, his cousin Aarav and his wife Shivangi's son. Don't mind him, he loves his family but despise them for not understanding his situation.
