Ashlesha's Tries

Next Morning

Today is Sunday so Aisha was helping her mother. Both mother and daughter were preparing breakfast together, which was Rajeshwari's favorite.

"All the parathas are ready, just keep tea on the gas with ginger and cardamom." Ashlesha said to Ayesha while roasting the parathas kept on the pan.

"Mummy, I think that in the last report of grandmother, her sugar level was high, so should I make tea without sugar for her?"

Aisha ask her mother while pouring tea leaves in the tea pan, but then Hitler's grandmother's voice came from behind.

"Well, who are you to not put sugar in my tea? My daughter-in-law takes care of me, with what relation are you doing all these things? Who told you that you will make tea for me?"

Without listening to Ayesha, Rajeshwari lashed out at her and started telling lies to the poor soul.

Seeing such attitude of her mother-in-law, Ashlesha started getting very angry but she remained silent considering Rajeshwari's age.

When Ashlesha did not say anything, Ayesha quietly went out of the kitchen and locked herself in the room.

Somewhere Akhil was also getting angry but what could the poor fellow do.

"Mom, why are you after Ayesha? Why are you punishing her for a mistake that the poor girl has not committed? For 27 years, that poor girl has been yearning for your love. But you... you always tell him something or the other. What was she saying wrong? Did you listen to her properly as to what she was saying?"

Rajeshwari could not believe after listening to Ashlesha, her daughter-in-law who never spoke to her in a loud voice, a Today that daughter-in-law was fighting with him for her daughter Ayesha.

"Ayesha loves you the most in this house but you don't even look at her. Sugar level was high in your last report, so she was making tea without sugar for you."

Saying this, Ashlesha also came out of the kitchen and started serving breakfast on the dining table.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Ayesha child, come and have breakfast quickly." Ashlesha calls Ayesha but she does not respond.

"Ashlesha, my doll is in a bad mood right now, talk to her after a while." Suddenly Ashlesha hears the voice of her late husband Rajbir.

"Rajbir, you are here somewhere, aren't you? I know you can't see your doll sad, so you have come to help me to chill Ayesha's mood, right?" Ashlesha suddenly started talking to herself when the door of the room opened and Ayesha came out.

"Come on, let's have breakfast. I have to go out for some work then," said Ayesha setting her wrist watch.

"Are you going somewhere?" Ashlesha asked Ayesha worriedly.

"Yes, I am going to Keerti's house. We haven't met for a long time, so we just made a plan for today."

After having breakfast, Ayesha came out of the house where her friend Kirti was eagerly waiting for her.

"Hello darling how are you?" Keerti asked hugging Ayesha loudly but seeing her tense face she understood immediately.

′′ Let's go ′′ Ayesha said while diverting the topic.

In no time both the friends reached a mall where there was very tight security today.

And why not, after all, India's most handsome young boy had come to Mumbai's famous mall today.

"Baby tell me which of these two dresses should I buy?" A beautiful girl standing next to him asked him making the next face.

"Keep both" the boy replied in a chilled tone.

′′ Ok ′′ that girl started jumping excitedly that's why two more beautiful girls entered the mall.

One of them was Ayesha and the other girl was Kirti.

"Ayesha, listen friend, please draw a picture of me." Keerti told Ayesha.

So today once again Ayesha was about to meet her boss who was watching her from the top floor.

"Bitch, I will kill you now. In the last one hour, you have made me take 23 photographs. " Varun was surprised to hear this from Ayesha.

"Don't you feel ashamed? If you had said all this in front of your boss, then you would have definitely lost your job." Keerti made fun of Ayesha and said

" By the way Aisha I have heard that your boss is very handsome. Is this true?"

Poor Keerti had asked in the normal course itself that it is a saying, isn't it, she took the name of the devil and the devil appeared

“Yes miss, you have heard it right infact I am very dangerous too” Varun replied to Keerti from behind.

Suddenly, hearing Varun's voice, Ayesha started looking here and there like a mad person.

"Who are you looking for?" This time Varun appeared in front of Ayesha and the ground slipped under Ayesha's feet.

"Mr Malhotra you! I mean what are you doing here? I mean are you following me?" Ayesha tried her best to bring confidence in her voice so that Varun could not smell the fear sitting inside Ayesha.

Recently, Ayesha heard about Varun from the employees of the office that Varun very easily finds out the thoughts of the person in front of him.

"Why? Can't I enjoy my Sunday? Is Sunday only for the employees and not for the boss?" 

Actually Varun had not talked so openly with any girl till date. But don't know from where the sun came out today

Varun was talking to Ayesha so frankly as if they were best friends and were busy teasing each other.

"By the way Mr Malhotra you should not waste your time like this, I mean you should go and give your valuable time to your boyfriend"

Varun remembered yesterday's incident as soon as he heard the line from Aisha's mouth about boyfriend, how Ayesha had called him and his friend gay.

" listen Miss Bedi you should not interfere in my personal life and anyway I expected from you that your mind would be till here, that if boys are friends then definitely they both ... Well leave it, I don't have time to waste on you." After saying this Varun left from there, Aisha said while lip-syncing, "doggy, bloody son of owl."
