Family Is Family 2

Chapter 5

'those streets right before your house never failed to scare me' Abhishik said to Shahrukh when they both stepped down from their cars

'you should be getting used to it' Shahrukh said jokingly

Abhishik laughed then said 'I don't know why Saif didn't come with us!'

'leave him alone, he is a few days away from his marriage party. He must be nervous' Shahrukh said sarcastically when they were on their way towards the house

'it is his loss he is missing the celebration'

Shahrukh stopped and so did Abhishik 'Abhishik can I trust you?' Shahrukh asked

'of course, what is the matter?'

'I know that now you are no stranger. But Poja .. Auntie Poja doesn't know about the new position. We aren't scared of her, but that will lead to some problems and we don't want any problems especially these days... you know Preity's wedding and all' Shahrukh said to Abhishik who seemed not to understand why Poja will be angry or what problems may happen. That's because Amira told him the story from her side, she talked only about herself, Shahrukh and their parents. Before he opened his mouth Shahrukh talked again 'I know that everything isn't clear, it is a long story, but trust me sooner or later you will find out about everything' Shahrukh said and Abhishik nodded silently then they walked again.

'Anarkali' Shahrukh called when he entered the house

'yes sahb' Anarkali said and came towards Shahrukh

'where is everyone?'

'they are at the living room upstairs, Preity ma'am came back and is showing them what she bought' Anarkali said then talked again happily 'Do you know that she bought me a dress to wear at her wedding?'

'oh that's sweet of her' Shahrukh said giving her a big smile

'Abhishik sahb, do you want me to get you anything?'

'no thank you'

'okay let's go upstairs' Shahrukh said. When they were heading upstairs they saw Poja coming down

'oh Abhishik, what a pleasant surprise!' Poja said happily

'hello auntie' Abhishik replied with a big smile

'I am happy to see you more often at our house; after all you are one of the family' Poja said challengingly looking at Shahrukh who kept looking coldly back at her

'of course auntie, you are a sweet family, you just really need to party a little bit more'

'sure my dear, a lot of celebrations are on the way. Don't leave before you take the invitations' Poja said patting over Abhishik's cheek gently, before Poja walks away; Shahrukh saw a look in her eyes to him that he didn't understand, it wasn't a challenging look, nor hatred. It was a look that he didn't understand only at that very time and didn't expect to understand it later.

Shahrukh flinched when Kajol snapped her fingers in front of his face, he was sitting with everyone in the living room but fully absent minded, he didn't know for how long he remained like this before Kajol grabbed his attention.

'are you okay?' Kajol asked and seemed worried

'yeah, don't worry' Shahrukh said smiling, but Kajol didn't feel like and kept looking at him silently 'where are the photos?' Shahrukh asked suddenly
