Out Of Sight, Always In Mind!

Chapter 3

Keya's POV:

We were sitting in the backyard of the Ahuwalia's . Mr. and Mrs. Ahuwalia have always been a family to us. They had been very supportive in all our sad times.

The three girls Manya, Tanya and Aanya were just like sisters to me.

We were enjoying the barbecue.

"Yummmmyy, uncle..!!"

I said completing my fifth chicken leg.!

"We’ve missed all this so much." Krish agreed.

We were having a great time..

I was sitting with Manya and our mothers on the huge lawn chairs and eating delicious chicken and burgers. While Krish, Tanya, Aanya and our fathers were enjoying grilling the amazing food for us.

Krish and Aanya were doing nothing more than fooling around and making a mess. They have always been the mischievous ones whenever there was some get-together. Aanya being the youngest of us all always received the pampering and Krish treated her like a little sister. We all did actually.

I was about talk to Manya when she got a call.. She picked up immediately..

"Hey hi.. " she said.

Pause.

"Yeah no problem.. I've revised them twice.. You can have them."

Pause.

"Yeah come over now if it's possible for you"

She said "ciao" and hung up .

"Work!" Manya said looking at me. We talked on random stuff before she excused herself to go inside the house.

I know I wasn't supposed to, but I was really curious to know who she was talking on phone. Because when she saw that name flashing on the screen there was a very quick change of emotions on her face. Confusion. Anger. Relaxation.

"Excuse me ladies! I guess I need to use the washroom" I announced and decided to go in.

I entered through the kitchen and as I neared the door to the living room I heard some voices. Deciding to eavesdrop, I stopped near the door. It felt so illegal.!

"Here you go.. These are the files" said Manya.

"Thank you so much" replied the unknown voice.

It was a male.

"Any celebration inside?" he asked..

"Oh yes.. Keya n Krish are back.." answered Manya ..

"Oh wow.." he said happily as if he knew us very well..

"Do you want to join us? They would love to meet you."

"I would love to. But I need to read these files before I meet the boss tomorrow. Thanks though"

"Oh fine.. Maybe next time.. "

Manya said disappointedly..

"Yep sure.. Sweet dreams.. Enjoy the night.." he said and I guess he was leaving.. But he was walking slowly.

I decided to peep in through the small window.

He was near the main door with Manya right behind him. He turned around and looked at Manya in a way which I couldn't describe.
