Hate Turned into Love

Chapter 17

Naisha's POV

I was watching Spongebob on T.V and Aadhira was studying sitting on the dining table.

Just then, Naira came with cookies.

"Girls....see What I made for you both! Come on and eat these fast, as your dad is also a great fan of these cookies", Naira said cheerfully but she slipped as she stepped on a toy, that was lying on the floor.

"Mom", Aadhira exclaimed and dad reached just in time to hold her. But the cookies were spoilt. Dad made Naira stand and assured if she was okay.

"Are you okay Naira?", dad asked concerned with a worried face.

Naira nodded and held her stomach to assure if the baby was fine.

I dunno how the hell do moms come to know whether the baby is fine or not by just placing their hand on the stomach!!

Dad sighed in relief and hugged her tightly. He released the hug and looked at us.

"Who's toys are these?", Dad asked sternly.

"Those are Naisha's", Aadhira pin pointed at me.

"Come on Naisha....how many times have I told you not to leave your toys anywhere! Did you ever imagine how serious accident might have happened?!", dad freaked out at me.

"But dad....these toys were Aadhira's also!!", I complained.

"I don't care who's toys are they! I just want this place clear. NOW!", dad scolded both of us but I felt like he was scolding me only.

I did not take it nicely. "You'll never change!", I shouted and rushed upstairs.

KARTIK'S POV

"You'll never change", Naisha shouted and rushed upstairs. I took a deep breath and felt guilty. I covered my face with my palms.

"Kartik....why are you standing here?! Go to her", Naira scolded me.

I nodded and rushed upstairs towards Naisha's room. I knocked at her door.

"Naisha baby....I'm sorry. I was too freaked out to listen to you. Please open the door", I begged her. Just then, I heard some one  giggling from the other side. I was surprised.

"Naisha", I again knocked the door, suspicious. The giggling grew louder. It was a strange, eerie giggle. I began beating the door.

"Who's it? Who's with you Naisha??", I asked suspicious beating the door.

"Open the goddamn door Naisha!!", I shouted and she opened the door.

I knelt in front of her and cupped her face.

"Why were you giggling Naisha?", I asked her.

"I wasn't", she replied moving her head from side to side.

I looked at her surprised.

"Dad...let's go to the park na", Naisha said and held my hand. I was too engrossed in processing things that I couldn't realise when she started to drag me.

At Night-

Author's POV

Kartik was getting ready for office. Just then, Kajal(his late wife) hugged him from behind.

"I love you", she said holding him tightly.

Kartik was surprised because she was always un-romantic and he could rarely expect this kind of behaviour from her.
