" Why god has to be unfair with good human beings.I don't understand his logics sometimes "
Happy reading.....
"How do you know ? I remember I didn't tell you I am from Mumbai yet ", I asked him when he was about to step forward. He abruptly stopped with my voice and turned.
"It's not a big deal cara mia , I guessed it by your language slang"
"Oh you are so intelligent Abhi , I am impressed ", I tapped his shoulder appreciatively.
"Come I will help you to get the bus ", he said whilst taking my bag to carry.
"I have to wait for Abhiman , It's so important and urgent Abhi "
"I told you he is out for three days , where will you stay until then ? "
"I will stay in any near hotel "
"There are no hotels near here, you have to travel long to get any hotel and I don't think you can adjust in this village cara. It's better you should return back to Mumbai and come when he is back"
"I can't go back Abhi , it's very important like life and death matter"
My words shocked him that he looked at me blankly.
"What's that cara ? "
"You know him closely ?"
"Yes , he is my friend .Whenever I come here we used to hangout and share things"
"Will tell you slowly but now I need rest please find any solution for my problem. I know you would get idea surely ", I pleaded genuinely.
I never pleaded a single person for help throughout my life and I am doing right now !
Great Mihra !
He opened his mouth to say then interrupted by a female voice from far away.We both turned our gaze in that direction .It's a girl of my age in saree type dress and her hairs were so long reaching down her waist unlike mine short. She had big hazel eyes mixture of green and brown. She was beautiful with fair skin but not more than me.
"Bava ..(cousin )"
Her face lit up like thousand watt bulb as she approached Abhi.She held her skirt in her fists and ran in our direction. There was a small paper bag too in her hand.
Oh my how she was running in that outfit ?
"Nuvvu em chestunnavu ikkada maradals ( what are you doing here ?)"
"Nenu mee intiki velli vastunna , nuvvu akkada kanipinchaledu . Amma cheppindi ikkada unnavani , anduke ikkadaku vaccha Bava ( I went to your house and you were not there.I asked my mother and she told me that you are here, so I came here ", she chirped but calmed down instantly when her gaze fell on me who was standing beside his Bava whatever she just told. I heard that word only , the rest was like gibberish for me.I didn't understand even a word but it felt like familiar with the language my mom used to speak in my childhood. It's Telugu and I don't like it back then so I told my mom to not speak that language ever again and she stopped using it eventually.
"Evari ammayi ? ( Who is this girl ?", She asked him something looking at me and he waited for a second then replied.
"She is Mihra ..Mihra Kapoor "
Oh she was asking about me who I am and he said my name. But her face became dull abruptly as she heard him saying my name.
"Oh .. hai ", she forced a smile on her lips and I greeted with the same smile.
"Hai "
"She is Nisha my cousin ", Abhi said.
"Enduku vetukutunnavu nannu ha?( Why are you searching for me ha ?", he asked her diverting her dullness.I didn't know why she was upset exactly.
"Adi nikosam ointment teccha ( I brought ointment for you )"
"Are you mad ? Why did you need to go so far alone? Now I get it why you disappeared suddenly this afternoon. ", he said a little bit loud.
"Sorry Bava , yesterday I saw you wincing while sleeping so I thought to bring this "
She said sadly bending down her eyes and I didn't understand what they were talking about exactly.
"Oh don't make sad face Nisha , please don't repeat this again understand "
"Hm"
"Now go to home , Atta(Aunt) must be looking for you"
"Hm"
She turned to go , she was really looking so sad.
"Wait mardals (cousin)", he stopped her by her hand.He took the paper bag from her hand and ruffled her hairs playfully.
"Thank you "
His simple thank you brought a big smile on her lips. They seemed so close to each other but I wasn't happy. I don't know fucking why I was not happy. May be seeing them and Sirish absence made me sad.
"Won't you come for dinner ?" , She asked him hoping dancing in her eyes.
"No , today I am tired so much , will come tomorrow for sure. Say mama that the new technique is worked successfully, we can give it a try now"
"Really , Nanna will be happy. Okay bye good night"
She peeked down at me ,"Bye Mihra , will see you later ",she said sending a sweet smile , this time it was genuine.
"Bye ", I nodded my head.
After she left , Abhi turned to me like what next.
"If you don't mind , will you give shelter to me this night",i asked him expectantly.
"You mean you want to come with me to my home ? Are you kidding me ? ",he was genuinely surprised.
"No Abhi ,I don't know anyone here except you ,so consider like a request please. You know what , I haven't pleaded anyone for help till date ,not even from my own boyfriend "
Was it needed to spill your boyfriend thing ? - subconscious smack
Oops it's just out !
"You have a boyfriend ?", he asked me all shocked.
"Yes , what's new in that. Well leave that thing , first take me somewhere where I can atleast drink some mineral water and have shower please ",I folded my hands too and seriously I don't know what's wrong with me.
He didn't say anything just nodded his head and asked my bag to carry. I resisted but he said he would do it as I was already hell tired to even walk.
Oh no how can I walk without shoes ?
"Abhiiii ", I was horrified looking down at my feet.
"What happened ? Are you okay ?",he inquired looking around me worryingly. Was he worrying for me ? But how can he worry for a girl who just met few hours ago.Was this guy really that much nice ? Was he also belong to that too good to believe books?
"How can I walk without shoes ?"
"Oh it's about that ?? you just scared the shit out me cara mia ",he rubbed his temple gazing me coldly.
"Sorry "
What happened to me ? Ha seriously I was pleading , saying sorry and doing requests.
What's all this ? this wasn't Mihra !
"Simple take out new shoes from your bag , I guess you are already carrying spares with you . Aren't you ?"
"How do you know ?"
"I can see your matching earrings, bracelet, handbag , clips and shoes. Everything you like to wear matching things , am I right?",he asked calmly but not meeting my eyes.
"I have to appreciate , you are so smart Abhi "
He handed me bag and I pulled out new shoes.
"Now we should leave from here, it's getting dark ",he said taking my bag and I followed him.
It's just a silent journey , he was walking ahead and I was following him step by step with my eyes glued to road not wanting to happen the shit again.My legs were aching bit but it's nice feeling walking under the night sky through the narrow green fields with open cool breeze caressing my skin which I never experienced in my life.
"Hey I forgot to ask , what about your parents ? Is your family big ?"
"No I am only child , my parents left this world in my childhood"
"Oh I am sorry ", I said immediately feeling very sad while trying to catch his pace.I felt very bad for him, atleast I have my mom but he had no one with him.But still Abhi how can he be so composed and good all the time.
Why god has to be unfair with good human beings.I don't understand his logics sometimes!
"You are really great Abhi ", I said smiling at him while trying to peek his face though it's covered but I can see his shining coffee eyes.
"No , I am not cara ",he said concentrating on the road.Why was he not looking at me ?
I became sad , I don't know why.I lowered my head watching my shadow and I noticed passing people looking at me weirdly.I remembered Abhi words , immediately my hands reached my top to pulling it down to cover my thighs. Oh god why it had to be so difficult for me ha. Can't they mind their own business , was it necessary to gawk at me.
