MANAN- Strings of love

3. Help

 Thanks a lot for the numerous vote and comments. I want to thank all the people who followed me and the one added my story to their reading lists. 

 "I did not tell your grandfathers to create some shit contract!" I yelled causing Navya and Aliya to look at me, like I have grown two heads. "I know that, those grandfathers died before I came into this world." Aliya said and Navya rolled her eyes. "Then why are you here?" if she did not come here to complain,  why did she come here? Every stranger who comes to my house is to either complain how I am so loud?, how I disturb the neighbours by my terrible singing?, how Shikha beat shit out of their kids? I wonder how not even a 7 kg girl beat the 15 kg boy double of her age? I need to....... Ahhh I am out of topic, now concentrate.

 "Aliya, let me explain." Navya said once she finished her coffee. "Nandini, my sweet little soul sister, I need a very small favour. I know you have the heart of......" I cut off her "Cut the bullshit and come to the point." I said and I knew this tone of hers. "Can aliya stay here for some days?" she asked. "How many days?" I asked, as I had to increase the amount of grocery, milk and other things if she is staying.

 "She may stay for a week, or a month or a year, or two years, or...." I again cut her off. "Please don't tell me she is some criminal who wants to hide." I said with my eyes wide. "No No No .....hell No!.. I am not a criminal. Actually, if my father finds out that I am here, he will force me to marry Manik which I don't want. We all had a plan to make this marriage fake. We all decided that Manik and I will be married for a year and then we will divorce, but I got the shock when the contract stated that if we divorce each other then the legacy will go to the villains." she said gritting her teeth. I was about to ask her what did she mean by that someone interrupted me. 

 "We will definitely help you." I saw the one who voiced it. This girl can never stay poking her nose where it doesn't belong. "NI, these are the guys we helped. I like this guy. What is his name?" Shikha asked Aliya. "He is Kabir." Aliya said enthusiastically. She started explaining when was the time she took this pic. 

  "Oye!, you have school!" I said and was heading to get her dressed, but sometimes I wish I did not have to forget some important days like Sundays. "Today is Sunday and I am spending my time with two wonderful ladies and you go to your parlour as you have the highest customers today." she said and ran to the 'two wonderful ladies'.

  I got ready and was heading out, but Navya followed me to which I was confused. "Navya this is Sunday?" it was a question than a statement. "My asshole of a boss who is my crush has asked me to come to his office." she said and I wanted to ask the most important question. "You are an accountant, how can he call you?" I was really surprised she did not yell at the guy for destroying her off. "What can I say? he is my boss whom I should serve tea and do all the peon works for him. I am more of a PA than an accountant. Once I had dared to shout at him which resulted in over time and he threatened me to give a black mark in my profile." she said with a crying face and headed to her two wheeler. 

  "Is Kabir your boss, aka crush?" I asked to which she nodded with a sad face. "God help you with your boss, but if you want my super, fantastic, mind-blowing, smart, amazing ideas then please do ask?" She gave me a hesitant smile "I want save myself from my boss's torture not get tortured Nandini. So bye, have a nice day." she said and drove off. Free fantastic advises have no value. I sighed and headed to my parlour.

  The day Sunday is loved by everyone but I hate it. On Sunday and Saturday I will get to know the real population problem of India. I haven't sit a bit after six pm but now the time is 12:00 when I reach my home and I only got to sit on my two wheeler. I entered my sweet home using my key. I heard some voices which were from kitchen. I looked there and saw a very tensed Aliya who was about to cry any minute and Navya who was beside her consoling. 

 "Can I help you? I know Aliya, I am not your friend, but you can share with me." I said with a smile. She smiled admits of all the tears gathering inside her eyes. "My boss was really sounded angry today. Aliya's father is tapping everyone's phone using the help of his friend who works in police department. Even my phone is tapped as I am her friend. She wants to contact her boyfriend, aka Druv and tell about her whereabouts, but now it is not at all possible." Navya explained all this and my super brain started working.

 "Don't worry, I will help you. Tomorrow I will go to your boyfriend and handover my cell to him." I said and brought the hand set which I used to use at the start of my career. " I have dual sim in my cell. I will give you one sim and you put this into this handset till we get you a better cell. I will ask your boyfriend to call you to this number and you can talk with him." I said and Aliya hugged me with repeated her thank yous. 

  "I cannot believe I am saying this, but I think this idea is not bad." Navya said to which I gave her a 'don't-lie' look. "Fine, your idea is fantastic." she said and went away yawning. I have to prepare for the meeting.
