Chapter 47 - I'm There For You!!

🍁"And Anyone Who Saw How She Looked At Him Knew That She Was Hooked"🍁

Aashi's P.O.V.

"We won't be late, aunt. I'll take care of Aashi", Noor said following my mom to and fro in the room while my mom was busy arranging her outfits for tonight function.

"No and no. Aashi will stay here with me. She'll help me and Priyanka also need her. They're your friends. Aashi will stay here", My mom replied. My heart sank at her response. Well, this is how things always end up.

Back in childhood also, Noor's parents were a bit chilled out than mine. So, she always has to do a lot of hard work to get yes from my mom for taking me out of my house. My mom's quite conservative or overprotective, you can say. In my opinion, this protectiveness is suffocating too.

"Aunty, I'm going too", Nia who was sitting with me on the bed busy arranging flowers from the basket said.

"Mom, I'm not a kid. I'll manage", I tried to help them because deep down I also want to go. I want to experience the beautiful views and places.

Are you sure you don't want to go for Kabir?, My heart whispered!!

"Don't talk in between", mom said giving me a sharp look and I pouted. She was better at home. At least she let me go out. But here in the different city, she's treating me like I'm five years old.

"Please, aunt. I want Aashi with me. We don't get much time to spend together also", Noor said. I know she's persuading mom because Dhruv asked her to do it. I really miss my old Noor who was always there for me no matter what.

Sighs!!

"Look. You children are way too free. I've a lot of errands to run. Now, let me do some work and don't disturb me", mom said and walked out of the house. My heart sank. I smiled sadly at Noor and Nia. I walked out of the room and exited the hotel lobby. I felt like crying because what's the use of visiting a new place if you can't enjoy the beautiful view.

I walked to the garden. I want to go with the group but my mom doesn't allow me. I walked for some time in the garden enjoying the sunlight. I decided to enter the hotel when everyone will leave. I don't want to feel bad at the sight of them going out and enjoy whilst I'll be left behind sulking. Why can't my mom be understanding for a change?

I was listening to music while walking in the sun letting it's bright rays warm me in the cold weather. I saw Varun walking towards me with a smile on his face. He's one handsome man. Priyanka is lucky to find someone as perfect as him as her husband.

"Good morning Aashi", he said smiling at me.

"Good morning jiju (brother-in-law)", I said removing my earphones and smiled at me.

"What are you doing here? Everyone's going out. You will get late", he said and I felt worse.

"My mom wants me to stay here", I replied taking a deep sigh.

"Why?", He frowned.

"I don't know", I replied shrugging my shoulders.

"What are you doing here?", I asked diverting the topic. I don't like to discuss how much am I missing by not going out? Because I know that very well.
