Akshita

Chapter 17

"Beta, zara kitchen ke bartan toh dhona," maa ki awaz kitchen se aayi. Tone se hi samajh aa raha tha ki ye kaam talne wala nahi hai.

Akshita ne phone screen se nazar hatai bina hi kaha, "Maa, abhi thoda busy hoon!"

"Busy? Games khelne mein busy?!" Maa ka patience khatam hote hote finally unhone room ke andar entry maari. Haath kamar pe, gusse se Akshita ko dekhti hui boli, "Tu game bandh kar aur ja ke kaam kar. Main yahan akeli nahi hoon sab sambhalne ke liye!"

Akshita ne ek badi si *sigh* ki aur phone side pe rakhte hue she muttered, "Match jitne ke baad kar leti na... kisi ko toh yeh important cheez samajh hi nahi aati."

Room se nikalte waqt uska annoying bhai Abhinav door ke paas khada smirk kar raha tha. "Haan haan, bartan dhone wali gamer girl ban jao ab. Vaise bhi tum games mein kuch kar nahi sakti haha."

"Tu chup reh!" Akshita ne gusse se bola. "Tera muh tod dungi agar zyada bola toh!"

But Abhinav sunta kab hai? Jaise hi Akshita kitchen mein gayi, wo uska phone uthake uska game khol ke uske stats kharaab karne laga. Uske chehre pe shaitani wali smile thi.

"Abhinav! Mere phone ko haath mat lagana, warna--" Akshita kitchen se chilaayi, lekin maa beech mein tapak padi, "Phone ko chhod, ye bartan khatam kar pehle!"

Akshita ka patience already tootne wala tha. Lekin maa ke saamne chup chaap kaam karna pada. Jab tak wo wapas room mein aayi, tab tak Abhinav ka kaam ho chuka tha.

"Guess what, behna? Tere rank ka satyanash ho gaya hai!" Abhinav hasi rokte hue bola.

Akshita horror mein apne phone ki taraf dekhti reh gayi. "ABHINAV! Tu ek din mujhe pagal kar ke hi chhodega!"

Room ka scene ab Tom and Jerry ka lag raha tha!! Akshita ne ek cushion uthai aur Abhinav ka peecha karne lagi.

"Akshita! Abhinav! Dono chup ho jao!" Maa chilaayi. "Akshita, ja ke apna room saaf kar!"

"Main hi kyu? Aur yeh kaunsa rajkumar hai jo kuch nahi karega?" Akshita gusse mein boli, Abhinav ki taraf finger point karte hue.

Itni nagging ke baad, finally Akshita ne kaam khatam kiya aur apne phone ke saath ek peaceful moment enjoy karne baithi. Shadow Slayer online tha. Akshita ne ek match invite bheja aur sigh karte hue socha, "Ab shanti milegi."

Par nahi. Game ke middle mein maa ki awaz phir se aayi, "Akshita!! machine se kapde nikal kr sukha de!"

"MAA!" Akshita literally chilaayi. "Ek din mujhe akela chhod do na!"

Abhinav door ke paas se bola, "Arre wahh, gaming queen ke struggles toh dekhne layak hai!"😂☝🏻

"Bas ek din, Bhagwan, ek din shaanti de do!" Akshita ne cushion utha ke phir se Abhinav pe phenka.

Raat ko bed par lete hue Akshita apne din ke chaos ke baare mein soch rahi thi. Haan, zindagi full of interruptions thi, par apni thi. Aur kahin na kahin, usse maza bhi toh aa raha tha.
