PIHU’S POV

It was 11:30 when in landed in Gorakhpur, UP. As soon

as our jet landed we got off from the jet and a sudden

smell of the sand hit my nostrils as the wind blew.

Seems like it rained. I stood there thinking about the

day I left this place 10 years back due to my worst

nightmare. I felt sudden fear rushing down my spine

and I felt goosebumps all over my body when those

words rang in my mind.

“Take off your cloths, I said take off you’re your fuckin

cloths, you won’t understand like this let me do it for

you.” He tore off my cloths and laughed like he won he

took out his belt and started to beat me the hall filled

with my screams.

A sudden tap on my shoulder brought me back to

reality. I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe. “Di

you okay?” asked my brother. “Haan Ansh I am fine” I

replied. “You sure? Should we go to the doctor first?”

he again asked with fear in his eyes. “I am good Ansh.

Nothing to worry.” I assured him.

We turned our gaze towards my manager when he

spoke “Mam your luggage is out and the cars are ready.

Also the cake you ordered is in the trunk of the car”

“Okay then we will take our leave” I replied smiling

when he nodded. We were ready to move when my

brother held my hand I looked at him and tension was

clear in his eyes as he knew the reason why I was lost.

(A/N- Guys Ansh is aware of her past incident that she

was thinking of)

He looked at me with tension in his eyes when I nodded

and passed my best smile towards him assuring him I

am fine. Soon we started walking and reached our car.

We sat and drove off to Singh Villa No one was aware

of our arrival right now that know that we will be

coming tomorrow by afternoon. I wanted to surprise

dadu forgetting my past and creating good memories as

I can’t stay coward and run from this lifetime. I have to

face this one day so why not today. Thinking all this we

reached our house and the guards opened the gate

letting us to enter. I got off the car indicated every guard

to stay quite. I took off the cake from the car and went

toward the house entrance.

“Abee oyee itne teez chalega toh sab jagg jayenge ,

bandar” I said looking at the pace of my brother who

took lighter, candle and knife in his hand. “Aree sorry

mai toh bhul gya ki hum chor hai” he said sarcastically

“Huhh?” I asked being confused. “Bacchon ke samajh

ke bahar ki baat hai yeh” he said teasing me. “Abee suar

tu ek baar cake kaat jane de phir tujhe batate hoon kon

baccha hai yaha” I said warning him. Arguing like cat and dog we reached the entrance of my dadu’s room. I

was about to shout when my brother palmed my mouth.

There stood my entire family outside his room ofcourse

how can I forget that they will also wish him. I patted

my brothers hand asking him to remove his palm from

my mouth.

“Abhii toh pura plan ke aise taaisi ho jate tumhare

wajsh se di”said my brother. “ Abee yaar daar gye the

mai achanak se sabko dekh ke natural hote hai kuch

cheezen” I said defending myself. “Tum kabhii…” my

brother was about to speak when my father interrupted

him saying “Enough you both let’s wish dadu first there

are only 2 minutes to be 12.” I nooded so did my father

then he quick hugged both of us. So did everyone but

they were happy to see me because Ansh used to visit

them more often but I was coming after 10 years.

Soon it was midnight we wished dadu suprising him he

was shocked to see us all and instantly became happy

seeing me with cake. He called me near him hugged me

tight as he missed me the most. I smiled at he gesture.

Soon he cut the cake and having the desert and wishing

dadu once again we all moved to our respective rooms

biding bye and good night to all. I also went in my

room changed into comfy nightwear and went to sleep

preparing myself for tomorrow’s hectic day.

KARTHIK’S POV

When I left from there I went to my family telling them

about our departure, we checked in our luggage and

boarded to our jet and soon it took off. After 2 and half

hour we arrived UP. It was 12:30 when we landed there

so we decided to stay in hotel till we leave for the party.

I already made the arrangements and our cars were

ready we were waiting for our luggage. “Yeh cap kiske

hai bhai?” asked Manik taking everyone’s attention

towards the cap in my hand. “Toda dheree bol leta

chutiye” I murrered near his ear. “Haa bhai kiska hai?”

there came a voice of my Siddhi. “Yeh ek client ne gift

kiya thaa tabse mere paas hi thaa toh socha aaj laga

loon” I said defending myself. “Paar aap kabse gifts

lene lage?” asked Kirti in teasing tone “Jabse tujhe

akala ana suru hue”I said teasing her back.

“Sir all set to leave” came my manager’s voice. “Okay”

I said nodding my head. Soon we left to our cars. All

were tired so almost everyone slept in the car. We

reached the hotel in no time. Our rooms were getting

ready and we were asked to wait in the lobby that

looked classy and comfy.

Some got busy in their phones and some tried to

continue their sleep. Seeing everyone I sighed taking

out my phone sitting on the couch beside Ishana. “OHH

MY FUCKIN GOD ARE WE GOING TO SEE PIHU

SINGH” shouted Ishana on the top of her voice making everyone look at her. “What’s wrong with you fool, you

literally disturbed my beauty sleep” said Rehan “Neend

toh tere abb udege Pihu Singh the leading business

women of the world, the top fashion model is the

granddaughter of our grandfather’s childhood friend”

said Ishana excitingly like she is going to see her crush.

“Who told you that? Dare to say something else she is

my crush I will break your bones.” said Manik. “Abee

woh meri hai samjha. Uske baare mein maine bataya

tujhe” said Rehan “Abee tu chup kar aaya bada who

meri hai sakal dekhi hai apne?” said Manik mocking

Rehan. “Haan roz dekhta hoon aur mere jitna smart

banda who deserve krte hai. Aur tu Ishana ki bacchi

kisne kaha tujhe ki who unke granddaughter hai” said

Rehan. “Yeh dekhea bhai usne apne insta pe unke dadu

ki pic ke saath Happy Birthday Handsome likha hai”

said Ishana. “Aur tujhe kisne kaha ki who humare dad

uke friend hai?” asked Manik in sarcastic tone. “Aree

Amrita Maa showed me a family gathering pic of them

which she told is very old, he is the same man she

introduced me as dadu’s friend.” Said Ishana.

In a blink of my eye Rehan snatched Ishana’s phone

from her hand and moved towards my half asleep

mother and waked her up and asked “Badimaa you

know him?” he asked pointing towards the man’s pic on

Pihu’s Instagram’s story. “Haan inke birthday mein hi jaa rhe hai hum beta” said my mom.

And listening her my cousins were on cloud nine

excited to meet Pihu in real life. I know that she is no.1

businesswomen in India as she herself build her

paradise so I also appreciate her hard work but I never

bothered to see who she is as I have zero intrest in

knowing that still I continued to listen to my cousin’s

and my mother’s conversation. “Bademaa kabse jaante

hai hum inn logon ko kyaa Pihu ne mujhe dekha hai ?”

asked Rehan. “Nahi beta hum sab sath 10 saal se bhi

pahele mile the tb tum bahut chote the aur Pihu bhii ,

woh sirf Karthik ko pehchan skte hai kyuki yeh dono ek

saal ek chote aur bade the aur aksar saath hi rehte the.”

Said my mom.

“Wait is she the one my dadi used to tease with that

little girl for whom I was possessive in my childhood

itself and for whom my heart had feelings for? No

Karthik what are you thinking she must be someone

else.” I question/answered in my sub conscious mind.

“Oh my bad but now she will love me let me meet her

once” said Manik excitingly. “Dekhte hai” said Rehan

in a sarcastic and challenging tone looking towards

Manik.

Soon we got our rooms key and we moved to our

respective rooms while my cousins were still busy

fighting about ‘Who Pihu belongs to’ like seriously I

mean my mother clearly said that she knows only me

still they are calling her theirs like they own her. I don’t know why but I was being possessive towards her I

heart was getting uneven every-time they took her name

and my ears get active to listen more about her. “BUT

WHO IS SHE?” I asked to myself because I was not

sure if she was the same girl who was my childhood

crush, but now I wanted to see her. Shrugging all my

thoughts I took out my phone to check who she is only

to know that my battery is dead. “Yeh bhii abhi hona

tha”I murmured to myself checking-inn my room.

I put my phone on charging and laid myself my the

matress that took me into deep sleep because I was

really tired working all day and travelling.
