Chapter 17

Nisha POV:

Three days,its been three days and Mia has not uttered a single word to me.Do I seem that bad of a mother?All she does is talk with her father,Skype call with her father and talk about her father to Meera.Today is Monday and I have no idea how I am going to wake her up and send her to school.This is going to be truly difficult, truly.

I went and sat near her in the bed and removed the duvet carefully. She did not seem to move a bit.Such a sound sleeper like her dad.Hell,everything is just like her dad,that anger ,that personality almost everything.

"Mia,get up its 7 in the morning.You have to go to school" I said in a soft voice and I placed a hand on her smaller one.She did not move.Is she still sleeping or did she want to ignore my presence. I'm not going to give up that easily.

"Mia, princess" I carded my fingers through her soft curls. She swatted my hand away. OK, she is awake but she clearly hates me because she thinks I'm the one who separated from her father.In her father's language,I am the devil.

"Mia,baby please listen to me...." I pleaded with her.She cannot skip school today as she already skipped a week .

"Mmph,go way" she mumbled through the sheets.

"Mia you are making this difficult for me,please darling wake up.We can even have you favorite breakfast today"

"I hawte ow...." She mumbled in a sleepy voice.Already Mondays and Mia don't go well together.Now with this hassle, I'm clueless what to do.Someone please help me.I groaned at put my hands in my face and sighed.

Suddenly the duvet moved as Mia got up and went to brush.She couldn't reach the paste but she did not even bother to call me.She wanted to do all by her own,the only reason because she was angry with me.

I went downstairs and started preparing breakfast . It was already half past seven and god alone knows how I am going to get Mia ready for school. I packed her favorite lunch,sandwich and chips. Where is my life saver when I need her? I called Meera and put her on the speaker.

"Hola my dear cousin, how was London?" Her cheerful voice was too much to handle on Monday mornings.

"Meera, I need you now.Please don't give me any excuses.I know you always pick up the kids but now I need you immediately." I panicked.

"Woah there, what crawled up your pants?" She asked.I heard Adhi shouting in the background that his socks were missing.I knew she is busy but sometimes when Mia decides to be stubborn, Meera's magic always works with her.Then that day will become "Attack Nisha Day". Thank God I have her three floors down.

" Meera,Mia is not talking with me"I sighed.

"Till today??I thought she was angry with you only for the time being"

"She is not even looking at my face, Meera.According to her father I am the devil,so Mia doesn't talks with devils.She is not even responding to my questions.I had to force feed her all the three days.I don't know what to do .My head is going to burst if she keeps on doing this.I'm sorry that I interrupted you but I need your help now.Nothing else"

"Calm down girl, deep breaths." I heard her door slam and Adhi was blabbering something in the background.I ended the phone call and went up to check if Mia has bathed.Nope,she was sleeping again.I wanted to pull all my hair from my head one by one.I was on the verge of tears when I heard the door open and Meera's loud voice echoing through the flat.

She came to my room and saw Mia sleeping.I gave her a hopeless look and left the room.

"Comeon baby let's get you ready,Aunt Meera is back with a bang" I heard Meera's voice and a quiet giggle before I stepped into the shower and allowed the cold water flow through my body.At least this will release some stress I'm going through.

When I came down to check up on them Mia was sitting with Meera eating her breakfast cereal and watching power rangers. Seriously? Power rangers early in the morning?Why is the whole world hating me?

I went in front of the television and switched it off.Mia got up from the high chair and went to fetch my phone to call her father.What a good habit he has showed her.

"Mia you are not calling your father until you finish your breakfast" I stood in front of her and picked the phone.

"You not wewing me watch pow" she pouted and crossed her arms.

"So,what do you expect me to do?" I asked.

"Nisha,you can be little more polite" Meera carried Mia and fed her the remaining cereal telling her stories about superheroes.I ignored them and looked through my appointments as I gave Alice a day off.

"I heard you have a new neighbor Nisha and he is hot" Meera stated.

"New neighbor?" I don't know.This is new.No one said about this to me.The floor where we are staying is the top two floors conjoined together like a pent house. There are only three flats and I heard one was unoccupied.I don't know about the new neighbor yet.

"Oh,who is that?" I asked.I am not the person to go mingle with new neighbors and have tea with them.But I'm polite enough to know who they are.I have loads and loads of work currently and I'm not in the mood to hear about this new neighbor gossips.I'm not a gossip girl either.

"I also don't know who he is,but he must be pretty famous to get this flat.I mean the flat opposite to yours definitely costs my lifetime earnings.My neighbor told that the receptionist saw only their agent and not the person who is going to be living in the house.But from what she has told this person better be a Mc hottie or Mc Spicy or I'll kill him" she finished her ramble.

"And I still wonder if you are married Meera" I smirked.

"What a married woman shouldn't appreciate other men.Learn to appreciate beauty Nish,in whatever form it is" she smacked the back of her head and took her keys.

"OK hobo,bubye.I'm taking these troublemakers to school see you in the evening" she shouted.Can this girl never learn about a concept called Inside voices.I am beyond frustrated now.Not even a bye mummy from Mia,awesome day!

Just a few minutes later someone knocked my door.I held my head band in my mouth and shouted "coming". I ran across the mess Mia has made and opened the door to face the next shock of the day.I just can't believe this is happening.I dropped my headband and my I opened my mouth unable to form any words. This world clearly hates me,no doubt.

Sebastian Vettel is my new neighbor and he is standing with a stupid smirk in front of my flat.

" Is this the way you welcome neighbors Nisha Kapoor? "
