Priya's P.O.V.
I go into the building and went up to the floor where Rahul's office was.
"Bhabhi?" Anandi's face was in confusion.
"Hi, Anandi!"
"What are you doing here?" She questions.
"Uh-Rahul wanted some help around in the office, so I stepped up," I answer.
Anandi raises an eyebrow. "Bhai asked you for help?"
"No, I threatened him into accepting my help," I say.
"That sounds more realistic." Anandi laughs and I nod along. She takes in the saree I put on. "You look beautiful!"
I beam at her and twirl around to give her a little bit of a fashion show. "Thank you."
"Any special reason?" She probes. "Going out on a sexy date tonight?"
I laugh at her words. Me and a date. I haven't been on one in three years. "No. It's Babuji's birthday. And he always loved seeing me in sarees."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Anandi sends me a sympathetic look. She knows how much I've suffered after Babuji and Aishu's death.
"How was the date?" I ask to break the awkward tension and Anandi breaks out into a small smile.
"It was fun!" She tucks a piece of her hair behind her ears but then her smile dips a little. "Was it bad that I was having fun?"
She was feeling guilty about having fun with a guy that was other than Siddu.
I shake my head 'no' and place a hand over hers. "No, it's not. You're allowed to date other people. Especially, if Siddu is not taking any action to ask you out officially."
Anandi's mood dips even further. "He's not taking any action? Even after I went out on the date?"
I sigh. This conversation was going to take longer than I expected. I motion for Anandi to take me into her office and she does. When I get there, I close the door behind me.
"He's not exactly rushing to go talk to your brother," I tell her honestly. Siddu might be someone that I consider to be a brother but he was being stupid right now. I wanted Anandi to be happy. And she doesn't deserve this half-in, half-out bullshit.
Anandi's eyes fill with tears but she tries hard to not break down. "I was expecting him to do something, you know. I thought he would get jealous and go and tell Rahul Bhai. He didn't even bat an eye when I told him that I was going out on a date. He told me to have fun. It's like he doesn't even care."
"He cares Anandi," I come in defense of Siddu. I know he cares. I know he loves her. But, for some reason, he's just not going to Rahul to make things official between him and Anandi.
