Diya's POV

" Kaha ja rahi ho, Dee?" (Where are you going, Dee) Chhoti asked me.

" Kuch Kam tha, Chhoti." (Have some work, Chhoti) I said.

" Main chaloon apke sath? Mujhe na suffocating feel ho rahi hai." (Shall I come with you? I am feeling suffocating here.) She said.

" Rehearsal per nahi Jana?" (Won't you go to rehearsal?) I asked her.

" It's at 11." She said.

" Actually, meri office k kuch Kam tha. Woh aur bhi boring hai, tum aur bhi suffocating feel karogi." (Actually, it's my office work. It's more boring and you will feel more suffocating.) I said to her. There is no way I am going to take her to meet Shagun. I will deal with her alone.

" Thik hai main Whitney ko phone Kerti hoon mujhe pick up kerne k liye." (Ok, then I will call Whitney to pick me up) she said.

" Asher ko call kerke bolo tumhe pick up kerne k liye." (Call Asher and tell him to pick you up) I said.

" Kyun Dee?" (Why Dee?) She asked me.

" Romeo hai na woh tumhare, isilie." (Because he is your Romeo) I said to her.

" Sirf play Mai hi hai Romeo. Sach Mai thori na hai?" (He is my Romeo just in play, not for real. Is he?) She asked me.

" Who knows!!! I shrugged.

" Main janti Hoon. Nahi hai woh Meri Romeo." (I know he is not my Romeo) she said.

" Future koyi nahi dekh sakta, Chhoti." (No one can see future, Chhoti) I said. She sighed.

" Main dekh Sakti Hoon, Dee. We don't match each other." (I can see, Dee. We don't match each other). She said.

" Kisne bola?" (Who said that?) I asked her.

" Mujhe paata hai." (I know that) she said.

" Tumhe yesa kyun lagta hai?" (Why do you feel like that?) I asked her.

" Kya Dee!!! Just compare us two." (What Dee!!) She said.

" Yaha Compare kerne k kuch bhi nahi hai. Main tum logo ko compare kyun karoon?? Or Are you two rival for a reason? (There is nothing to compare. Why will I compare you two?) I asked her.

" Nahi Dee. Yesa kuch nahi hai." (No, Dee. Nothing like that) she said.

" Phir?" (Then?) I asked.

" Buss yese hi, Dee. We just can't be the thing." (Just like that, Dee) she said.

" Kyun?" (Why?) I asked.

" Usko dekho aur mujhe dekho. Hum match nahi kertay." (Look at him and look at me. We don't match) she said.

" Dekha dono ko hi, isilie bol rahi hoon." (I have seen you both, this why was asking) I said.

" Phir yesa kyun bol rahi ho?" (Then why are saying like that?) She asked me.

" Kyun ki tum dono perfectly match Kerti ho." (Cause you two match with each other perfectly.) I said.

" Nahi, Dee. We don't." (No, Dee. We don't) she said. I sighed.

" Ek reason to dikhao." (Show me a reason at least) I said.

" Mere pass hazar o reasons hai." She said.(I have A Thousand Reasons Why I am saying that) I said.

" Kya reasons hai?" (What are the reasons?" (Kya reasons hai?) I asked her.

" Dee, jao tum late nahi ho rahi ho?" (Dee, go. Aren't you getting late?) She asked me.

" Bolo, Chhoti?" (Tell me, Chhoti) I said. She sighed deeply.

" Look at his family then look at mine. I don't even have a complete family. Lol." She said sarcastically.

" Yese maat bolo, Chhoti." (Don't say like that, Chhoti) I said.

" To kaisy boolon, Dee? Yeh sach hi to hai." (Then how will I say that, Dee? This is the truth only.) She said. " Yehi sach hai. Kuch bhi match nahi kerta." (This is the truth only. Nothing matches) she said.

" Chhoti, family matter nahi kerta. Hum tumhare family hai na. Jo tum mean ker rahi ho woh to kabhi family thi hi nahi." (Chhoti, family doesn't matter. We are your family. And which you mean family that was never ever one.) I said.

" Mere liye woh mar gaye." (To me he is dead) she said. " Mere or mere maa ki life mai abhi unki koyi jaga nahi hai. Kuch bhi nahi hai woh. Kuch bhi nahi." (There is no place for him in my and my mom's life. He is nothing to me. Just nothing.) She said. I sighed deeply.

" Ok, Chhoti. Relax." I said. She sat down there and I sat beside her.

" Main Saab kuch bhool ne ki koshis ker rahi hoon, Dee. Saab kuch. Suna hai Mr. and Mrs. Chauhan k do bacche bhi hai. Aarushi, Aarav. Kehne ko to Bhai behen hai meri kabhi sakal bhi nahi dekhe ab tak." (I am trying to forget everything, Dee. I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Chauhan has two kids. Aarushi and Aarav. If I think then they are my brother and sister. I have never even seen face.) She said. I got shocked.

" Tumhe kaise paata?" (How do you know?) I asked her.

" Dadi ne phone Kiya tha ekdin. Unhone hi bola." (Dadi called once. She told me.) She said. "Unhone bola tha k photographs send karenge lekin Maine mana Kiya unko." (She said she will send photographs of them but I forbade her) she said and sighed. I hugged her tightly.

" Main thik hoon, Dee. Mujhe kuch nahi huyi. Main maa ki tarah gaalti nahi karungi. Main ek peaceful life chahti hoon, Paisa nahi." (I am fine, Dee. Nothing happened to me. I won't do the same mistake as mom. I want a peaceful life not money.) She said.

" Tum sochti ho k maasi ne unko paiso k liye choose Kiya tha?" (You think maasi chose him for money?) I asked her shocked.

" Nahi, Dee. Maa kabhi yesa nahi karenge. Main bol rahi thi k mujhe paiso ki jaroorat nahi hai. Main yese hi khush Hoon. Life ko complicated nahi banani mujhe. Main or maa. Hum kush hi to hai." (No, Dee. Mom will never do something like that. I was saying that I don't need money. I am happy like like that. I don't want to make my life complicated. Me and Mom. We are happy just like that.) She said.

" I won't tell you anything regarding that anymore." I said and she nodded.

I thought Vikram Chauhan still have some fatherly feelings for Chhoti but I was damn wrong. He doesn't have any. No. Not at all. And Shagun!!! I just don't have any words to describe what she has done here. I don't know how a witch look like, Shagun. I don't know. But I one thing I am sure of that they looks like you. More like you.
