Rishab brought one hand on her waist and pulled her close to him, so close that he could sense her breath on his chest.

Rishab started caressing...

8 years ago - I am here, standing in the hospital among people telling us what led to my elder brother's death. Listening to Anirudh talk about Samaksh's Accident was devastating. Samaksh, was drunk and got into an accident. Anirudh told us how while returning from lonavla, Samaksh's car overturned and fell into the valley. The body was so disfigured that we couldn't even look at it.
My parents are doctors and I know I will be following their footsteps, but my brother was different. He wanted to become a businessman and he had all the capabilities to do so. Our neighbors, Mr. Singhania always praised my brother for his sharp wit and used to say he would achieve great heights.
But this one stroke has left us all so wounded. I know I cannot cry today, or ever for that matter, otherwise who will give strength to mom and dad.
Days passed but the void could not be filled. My parents decided that we will be moving to Delhi, far away from this haunting place.
Today- I was jolted out from my thoughts by the doorbell. I looked at the clock and thougth who could be here at this time, before I could think of something I heard Rishabs voice , "Pia ! Pia are you there? I need some help!".

I didn't know what to do. 'How could I forget the dinner with investors was tonight, No one is at home, how will I cook ?'
Only one name came to my mind ,'PIA!, I am sure she wouldn't mind cooking and helping me out with this'
I go over to her place and start knocking, ' Maybe she is asleep, lets try one last time' . "Pia ! Pia are you there? I need some help!", I try to scream so that she hears me. "Rishab just give me a minute", Listening to her voice gave me peace. 'Finally!'
When she opened the door I saw her looking at me with so much confusion on her face, she was looking such a big dork in that oversized tshirt and her pjs. "Rishab what happened?" , and I explained to her the whole situation. She was more than happy to help me.
"You know I love cooking so much......I will definitely help you, tell me what do you need me to cook?" She did not even take breaths in between.
'She talks a lot, how will I keep up with her', I smile looking at her talking with no care for anything around her. 'She is something else' I thought to myself while opening the door of my house for her.
