Mausam POV:
Today I woke up with a huge smile on my face. Because I received a good morning message from Karan.
I took bath and changed into a white floral sundress. I have already texted him the address. So getting ready I went to kitchen. There was a sticky note on the fridger's door.
Going to a business partner will be back by 4.
My brother has left me a note. He could have tell me. Loosing my appetite I wore my cardigan and slung my canvas and locking the door I left. I hailed a cab and told him the address.
I don't know when my brother will stop hating me. I thought of the time when my grandmother told me the reason behind his behavior.
When I was born. My brother Ananta was 5 years old. It was a premature delivery and my mother gave birth to twin children. Me and my twin brother were in a critical condition and unfortunately he died after 3 days. I survived but was kept under observation for weeks and my mother was so vulnerable. She was not able to take care of herself let alone me. So my maternal grandmother took Ananta Bhaiya with her. After 2-months when mum was back to her good senses papa called him to come back but he refused.
He thought that they are happy with me so they have abandoned him. He was a child and misunderstood the situation. Though I know that he had realized his mistake now but still he thinks I took something from him.
I don't blame him. May be if I were in his shoes I would have reacted the same way. And he really do cares for me. But he feels insecure. He don't love anyone because he thinks they will abandon him again...
"We're here mam." The voice of the driver broke my thoughts.
"Oh." I climbed off and paid him.
"The Dal coffee house." I read out the cafe's name. Its a cozy and homey cafe. It gives a beautiful view of the lake outside the town and the mountains. It surely is not the Dal lake but its beautiful.
As soon I entered the cafe I spotted him seating over an empty table. I walked towards him. He was staring at something. Its good that he is not looking at me right now otherwise I would have blushed red.
"You're looking beautiful." He said without turning. I stopped on my heels and my mouth was hung open.
"H..how? You haven't seen me yet!" He pointed his finger in front of him. Then... I saw the large mirror polished window with my clear reflection on it in front of him.
Oh my sweet!! He was staring at me!
"Please sit."
"Huh." I was so flushed that I didn't notice that he was standing beside the opposite chair and was waiting for me to sit. " yeah... Thank you. "
"So.. How are you today?"
"Am good."
"Don't seems to me like that. Is something wrong?"
"Noo... Its just Bhaiya."
"He still have problems with you?"
"Yeah.. Though he don't hate me that much now, but still, we never talk."
"But he loves you."
"I know." I smiled that other me and my parents someone also knows my brother.
He called the waiter and we ordered pizza and coke. We talked about here and there. About our days when we were together and when we were not together.
His and my phone started ringing together.
"Akshay" he said.
"Shruti" I showed my screen. And received the call. He also received his call and went to the window.
"Hey."
"How was your study meeting?"
Study!! "Went well." I lied.
"Lier. I know he's with you. Your location is same."
"What? You tracked our no?"
"I didn't do it. I forced Akshay to track your numbers."
"Meany."
"I'll be at your place in evening for investigation about your.... Study meeting. Enjoy."
"Nonsense. Bye."
Good now she has Akshay to do the things she wants to do. She's a little gadget freak and always does something wrong.
I saw Karan coming back it means Akshay also has hung up. We sat for 10-15 more minutes then left the place after paying the bill.
"See you tomorrow at college then."
"Hmm sure. Come I'll walk you to your car."
"Mm.. Actually I came in cab. After that accident maa is not letting me drive myself." I said sadly. Because I have to walk to the main road for getting any public transport. When I looked at him he was smiling and his eyes were glowing.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked.
"I got the chance to drop the pretty lady... again." He replied cockily.
"Cheesy much." I said but hopped on his car.
The drive was comfortably silent until he started asking questions.
"So... You are going to the prom?"
"Yeah."
"Uhmm with.." He was interrupted by my the ringing of my cell. I saw it was mum calling me.
"Hey mum! How are you and dad?"
"We are good. But where are you?"
"Mm mum I just came to meet a friend."
"We are waiting outside."
"You are back. I'll be there in 10. Love you." I hung up the call then and turned to Karan. "They are home."
"Good. I got the chance to meet them finally."
We soon reached my house and Karan pulled his car in front of my house. My parents were standing on the porch looking angry.. Why?
