vengeance of deception

Chapter - 2 ( Updated )

Prerna, who slept on the floor last night, wakes up.
She sees a tea cup being kept aside which makes her smile " Arjun ! " She stands up and walks to the restroom where she gets fresh and comes outside.
Her eyes are searching for Arjun. But on not seeing Arjun anywhere, she sits on the couch and takes the cup of tea in her hand. She is about to take a sip just then she hears some strange sound . She senses someone's presence in the room. She puts the teacup aside, stands and starts looking here and there.

" Who is behind the curtains ? " she asks loudly as she sees someone's shadow.

" Come outside ! I said come outside or else I'll call the police ! " she is afraid but she doesn't show.

Someone comes from behind the curtains. It's a 10 years old boy. Prerna is looking at him astonishingly " Who are you ? And what are you doing here ? "

She walks toward the kid.

" I'm Sid ! " The little boy is very afraid of coming near Prerna. Prerna walks towards him and sees at the balcony height from where he was hiding.

" Aren't you afraid of falling, Sid ? " she asks.

Sid is staring at her " Even if you have to give life for such a beautiful girl, it will not be a big deal. "

Prerna smiles and caresses his hairs. " Are you trying to flirt ? "

" If you are considering praising a beautiful girl as flirt then it's not mah fault " he says.

Prerna laughs " Sid, how did you get here ? And how long have you been hiding here ? "

" Just 1 hours ago . Can I ask you something ? "

Prerna is looking at him with love " Ask ! "

" Why have you been crying all night? " he asks

" Ohk you're caught ! You have been here the whole night ( she caresses his cheeks) you shouldn't be here ! Your parents must be worried for you ! "

" No, I don't lie to anyone . I came here only one hour ago. "

" Then how do you know that I've been crying all night ? "
She asks curiously .

" Often, mumma used to cry all night and her eyes get swollen in the morning and the same way your eyes are swollen . " he tells her with a sad face.

" Don't you ask your mother the reason behind her crying ? " she asks.

" Of Course not ! Because I know this already and I can't make her more sad by pinching the same question. "
He clarifies.

" You're behaving like a teen ! " Prerna wonders on hearing such things from a kid.

" Actually, my father is suffering from cancer . That's why we're here. "

On hearing this. Prerna's eyes get filled with tears. She makes Sid sit on the couch comfortably. " Everything will be fine soon. "

" The doctor asked me and mumma to always make dad happy. And I need your help in this . "

Prerna is suspiciously looking at the boy and wondering how she can help his father.

" my help ...? " she asks.

Sid gets up from the bed and comes in front of Prerna, sits on his knees and gets a ring out of his pocket.

" will you marry me ? " he pulls the ring in front of Prerna.

Prerna emphasizes the ridges on her forehead " This is how your dad will recover ? "

" Actually, I found this in my dad's Personal diary that he wanted to see me marry the most beautiful girl. But I didn't like any girl before I saw you last night. "
