Chandini's POV

Out of reflex action I caught the hand of the lady before me and steadied her to stop her from falling on the steps. I was observing her from the time she entered temple, the smile intact on her face just like yesterday. When she exited the temple, I too followed her just because I thought I could get a glimpse of him, his charcoal grey eyes. She seemed to be losing balance , I supported her towards the foot of stairs and made her sit on the bleachers.

After calming herself for few minutes, she turned towards me with that pretty smile of hers.

"Are you okay now?" I gave her the bottle of water taken from my car. Well, Kavya is keeping track of me so she was the one who called for another one of Dhore's car since my old one was in mechanic shop

"Thank you so much dear, I was okay minutes ago but suddenly I felt sick. If not for you, I would have been left with a broken rib" she jested at me holding my hands.

Just seeing her smile would make anyone smile, such a contagious smile she has. An involuntary smile broke on my face.

"It is okay. I am Chandini Sawant"

"Anumithra Rao.I haven't seen you earlier in this temple dear. Are you new to this place?" her voice held the fondness which I have never experienced before.

"Uh, no and yes. I was actually away for my studies, back now to my birth place for few days Di." I was shocked at myself for calling someone with a relation, after my ma there was no one who could fill in the space as my relation. Buaji is far different story, out of respect I call her that. She never had that liking towards me nor me towards her.

"Don't look perturbed Chandini, you can very well call me as Di. I am always a proud Di having two caring brothers, now I got another caring sibling to add to the list." The mention of her brother shifted my thoughts to certain 6 foot male. Out of curiosity, just to confirm if she Arjun's sister I asked her with fake mocking tone "Have you come alone Di? Why didn't your caring brothers accompany you? Are they that busy?"

"Ah, don't ask me, I am much good away from those dumb heads. My Husband is busy in one of his cases, Adi said he is going for a visit on our branch of hotels, and my bachu said he need to get some car delivered from mechanic shed. Oops, you will be confused with my blunt replies right?" she cutely scrunched her nose and continued " Adi is Arjun's, my bachu's friend, though he is an outsider for others for me and Arjun he is a brother from different womb ,they together own A2 group of hotels across Mumbai. My husband is a busy psychiatrist."

"You should be much more careful now Di, do not come out without any one by your side." my protective side barged out of me.

She looked at me for answers. "Your radiant face, the instant action of your hands shooting up towards the tummy during your fall made me think you should be having a good news and a lil bunny in your stomach. Isn't it Di?"

Her smile grew big and she caressed her stomach "I am not yet sure Chandini, I need to check with a gynec. I don't wish to raise hopes of my hubby and brothers so I didn't bother coming alone here today"

"Di, if you don't mind I can accompany you to check-up and whenever you want someone by your side you can call me"

Looking hopeful at me she questioned like a child "will you now?"

The tight grip on my hands brought me out of my thoughts. I glanced around to see Di having a wide smile, gynec prescribing medicine and instructing her on DO's and Don'ts. Once outside of gynec room, she hugged me before I could congratulate her for the lil bunny.
