the great transformation

** chapter 26 **

 I and Meethi were walking down the lane 

" we did amazing right " she was so excited . 

I left early from house along with her to finish this job and it is done right . They infact loved our work and asked whether they could assemble some of our painting in the inauguration function of their new gallery . It was a good news indeed . 

" Yes . .." I said . Though I was happy, there was some tension about the encounter with him in the morning

" Yes ... Just yes... Pragya. Are u for real ? We have got such a big offer!!!!! and just yes ?" she was really annoyed with my behaviour and it was visible in her eyes . 

" I am so happy Meethi . But  something is running in my mind right now and it is making me feel restless . " I said to her . 

" okay .... " She said . Sometime i feel  so blessed to get such an understanding friend like her .  Or may be she knows very well that I will not spit it out today and definitely  not right now . 

Anyway we all have a best friend with whom u cannot have secrets . She is one the among that kind .

" Okay listen . Maan and Purab are shifting to our house . "  I informed her . 

" Wow . That's great . I wish i was also a boy . But all fate . " she said rolling her eyes . 

" Thank god I got you " she ran finding her two wheller in the parking area . Seeing so much of bikes over there I remembered how much i have craved to ride a bike . Adhvaay once taught me to ride with his bike . I started the bike he was sitting behind me . We went out of our house into the street . Reaching the end our street, my confidence went a level  up and i raised the speed . But unfortunately, i lost my balance and we both fell down . The best part is, after falling down down instead of blaming me for my fault , Adhvaay was cracking jokes about me scaring the people who were coming through the road . Good attempt brother ... Wow... Those days ..

" Come on .What are you doing there? Come here and sit down . Don't you want to go home ?  " she said taking the bike from its place and moving towards the exit . 

" No Meethi you go home . If you drop me it will take a long time for you . And it has been a quite a long time taking a walk . If I start from here i will reach in fifteen minutes . Anyway no one would be there now I will rather go slowly ." I said to her . 

" You sure . ? Ooh now I get it!! You are  planning to dump me and call your romantic husband , asking him to drive you home from this lonely lane .... A ROMANTIC DRIVE with a ROMANTIC HUSBAND  ... Aren't you ? " she said in a husky voice . 

I can feel the tension around me even with the mention of his name . 

" No I AM NOT !" I said folding my hands near my chest marking that as the end of the conversation . 

" Okay fine then girl . Bye ...." she said and drove away . 

I started walking . The best thing about walking is most of the time you think something and the nature reduces the tension around you . 

I was wondering . Why am i doing so much to him ? Why ? 

Why I wanted his friends back home and live with him ? May be they mattered to me . Or may be they mattered to Abhishek more and he matters to you my subconscious said to me  

But do he matter to me ? before finding an answer for that question another part of my heart asked me Y NOT ?

He separated me from my mother but managed to reunite us again by inviting her home .
