Hearing two soft knocks on the door of my room,  I turned around to meet a pair of black eyes filled with emotions and questions. Netra Didi. "Can I talk? ", she asked. Why did she need to ask? We used to be best of best friends once. "Sure... ", I allowed her in. "U know what... Ur eyes are the same like my closest cousin sister Alia Singhania... And your nose is also very similar to her", settling herself, she said. "Yes... But she is dead... ", I said reminding her... Rather myself... Not to make any mistake to expose myself out. "How do u know? ", she raised brows at me. "Everyone does... ", I replied. "Should I share a secret? ", she asked. "Why not? ", I assured her to go ahead. "She ain't dead... She is alive", she said and my heart throbbed against it's rib cage in an attempt to break it. "W... Wh... What? ", I fumbled. "Yes... She ain't dead... But as she ran away from the marriage... I took it up and if anyone would get to know that Alia had run away... Then there would be a great spoilage in our reputation... So my family mustered up a lie in front of the whole world... And that little brat never showed up... I still wonder where she is... How she is... Because I want to thank her for giving me the best life ever... ", she said and it forced the tears to show up on my waterline and a gentle smile to tug up on my lips. "Just think that she is here... And say it... ", I advised. "You know what... U share the same vibes as her...", she said and again there was a rise in my heart beats... Nervous! "It happens sometimes... ", I replied. I got up from my place and headed towards the washroom. "Alia... ", I heard someone call me and I responded back. I didn't know how but I did. She smiled a smuggy smile and whispered near my ears... "I know it is u Alia... ". Freeze...
Geez...
What did she just say? Am I day dreaming? "Don't be surprised... Look at the mark beside it earlobe... It is what u had during ur childhood days.. Remember? ", she asked and I nodded my head. She engulfed me into a bone-crushing hug and I responded back with enthusiasm. I could say that she was literally crying. "Just look at u... U have turned out too... ", she searched for the right word and I completed her... "Fat? ". "Yeah.. Fat! ", she complemented. "I know... Every one says the same thing", I monotonously said. "You have changed a lot! ", she exclaimed. "Tell me something I don't know... ", I said. "He loves you", she said with a wink. Freeze for the third time. "W.. Who? ", I stuttered. "Darshan... Who else? ", she asked. " R u kidding me?  He loves Prakriti and he is ending up in marriage with her... ", I said in 'duh' tone.  "God! I was just joking and u took it seriously? ", she asked. "Oh god... U took the hell life out of me! ", I muttered and she laughed monstrously. Insane! I threw a pillow at her and she retaliated. In between our fight Danish and Darshan came in and both of them got a victim of it too. "Danish... Move.. I am going to kill her today! ", I said in a frustrated voice. "Whoa... Whoa... It is a marriage ceremony not a death ceremony... ", Darshan dramatically said. Defeated I sat back on the bed while she approached me. "Need something? ", she asked comforting me. "Don't say about this to anyone... ", I said. "About what? ", she asked. "That I am the Singhania daughter", I replied. "Are u insane? We need to disclose it and u r denying me to? ", she screamed all of a sudden from low whispers. Darshan and Danish gave each other confusing looks. "Didi... Please", I tried to calm her down. "Okay... But say me why? ", she pleaded and I requested the boys to allow some privacy. "Didi... U r my best friend.. I won't keep it a secret from u that I love Darshan and-", she screamed in between causing me to jump off. "Di... Don't scare me... Listen to me... ", I said and she nodded. "Actually I do love him but he loves my step-sister Prakriti... If she gets to know about it she will be left heart broken... I know how that feels... Please do this much for me... ", I pleaded and she seemed to think for a while before giving in. "Thank you", I muttered as I squeezed her into a bone-crushing hug.
