Us Being Us (A Darshan Raval Fanfic)

IV. The Scoundrel is Hanging at my House (Part 1)

Darshan's POV:

"Darshu..."Ma called as she came into my room. "Haan, Ma. Kya hua?"

"Bachha, your dad and I are going out of town for a week. You are going to be staying at Aisha's place. Okay?" She informed as she ruffled my hair. "No. Not okay. Main us chudail ke saath nahi rehna. Bohot irritate karti hai. Ma, why can't I just stay alone?" I groaned. "You are going there. And that is final," she said rigidly and walked off. I sighed as I got up to pack my clothes.

Aisha's POV:

"Aisha. Darshan is going to be staying with us for a week. Uncle and Auntie and going out of town. He will stay in your room," Mamma informed as she walked into the kitchen. "Mamma... I don't want to live with that scoundrel. He is so disturbing. Jackass... And Niu is also coming home. Her parents are not gonna be home for two days. They are going to Jaipur for work." I snapped. "Aisha. He is staying with you. Niharika can also come. In fact, one of them is here," she said as I walked up to the door. "Niu... thank god, it's you. I need to talk to you. Chal mere room mein." I pulled her up to my attic bedroom (refer image). "Kya ho gaya?"

"Yaar, Darshan is staying with us for a week. His parents are going out for a week. Mar gaye yaar."

"Koi na. We will be as usual. Dance around, paint shoes..."

"Do our homework. Wo baki hai. Abhi khatam kar dete hai. Darshan aane ke baad saara time jhagde mein chala jayega."

"Main change karke aati hoon. You start."

I gave her a thumbs-up as she walked into my bathroom. I started on my Math homework. I hated it but it was easy (sorta). Niharika walked to my bedside table after we finished our homework and picked up the photo frame on it. "Yeh kaun hai tere saath?? Aisha? Gabbu and Ishu kaun hai?" She asked as she walked up to me. "Darshan and I," I said without looking up. I was checking our answers. "Abe saali. What will Darshan think if he sees this?" She smacked my head. "I am an idiot. De idhar." I ran up to my storage ottoman and put the photo frame in it. Niu played some music and we started dancing. After around six songs we heard a knock. "Come in," I screamed. "Hi. Where do I put my bag?" Darshan asked with a blank look. I took his bag and put it in an empty shelf in my closet. "What is Niharika doing here?"

"Hanging out for the weekend," I replied blankly. He walks into the bathroom to change. I whispered some insults related to Darshan in Niu's ear and we burst out laughing. "Why are you laughing?" Darshan asked as he stepped out in a sleeveless top and shorts. "For the heck of it," Niharika wheezed. "You're still wheezing. Really?" I asked as she started laughing again. I raised my eyebrow as I chewed on my lip to stop laughing. Darshan looked at us as if we were crazy. "What up?" I asked as I looked at the devil. "Kahan phas gaya." He sat down on my recliner and picked up a book that said 'Gabbu and Ishu- Our Memories.'
