Chapter 18
"Svetlana?" Alia asked, "Who is that? Russian Mafia?"
"No." Meera chuckled as she walked to the couch in her cabin and sat down, "Mama told me about her, She has been the Oberoi's enemy for years. I guess it makes sense that she is the one behind destroying Oberoi Industries."
"So....she is Indian?"
"Yeah Svetlana Kapoor."
"Wow...what a name her parents gave her, just hearing it gives Villian vibes." Alia joked. "Anyways hat are we gonna so now?"
"Well for now...nothing. She isnt even in India, so we cant do anything. But I have taken all the nessessary precautions."
"She sounds dangerous. I mean, she isnt even in the country and she still did so much?"
"Yeah and-"
Ring! Ring!
"One minute," Meera answered her phone.
*Phone Call*
M: Hi Ma
A: Meeru are you busy?
M: No not much, why?
A: I was thinking, why dont you and Alia come have lunch with me? My treat, I got a job.
M: Really ma? Congrats! You're right, this definetly calls for a treat. Will Mama and Mami be joining us?
A: No, your mama is busy with his boxing practice and Neha has lots of other work to do so it will just be the three of us. Meet me in the Cafe infront of Mishti's school, I saw it just this morning.
M: Okay, we will be there...
*Phone call ends*
"What did Annika Aunty say?" Alia asked.
"Ma got a job. She called us both to have lunch together."
"Oh wow! Thats great. Lets go then."
**********************************
"Ishaan, we came here this morning. Is there no other place in the worl that we always end up coming here?" Pihu asked annoyed, "Even the Cafe owner probably knows us by our first name now....he is probably thinking See, Ishaan & Pihu are back."
"So what? Its helping their business, anyways the Chicken sandwitch here is so good, and Im hungry. Lets go in." Ishaan started to drag Pihu inside when she stopped him.
"Wait, look there! Isnt that Meera Di and Alia Di?" Pihu pointed to the patio area where Meera & Alia were sitting with Annika eating and talking.
"Oh yeah! Lets go sit with them!"
"Arre wait na! They are sitting with someone...but I cant see the person's face." Pihu moved a bit closer trying to see Annika's face which was blocked from their view by Meera who was leaning towards the table and laughing. Once Meera leaned back in her chair, Annika's face became visible and Ishaan & Pihu both gasped.
"Oh god....ho.....how...how is this possiblei?" Pihu asked in shock.
"GGGG..G...G...GHOST!" Ishaan got ready to bolt from there only to be held back by Pihu.
"Shut up....there is no such things as ghosts, this is....this is Badi Ma." Pihu replied looking back at the lady who's picture she always saw in her Bade Papa's room, who's stories she had heard from her Ma, Papa, and other family members, "But how?...Badi Ma passed away so many years ago. We all know this then-"
"Thats what Im saying...this is a ghost, Badi Ma's ghost!"
"Ishaan if she is a ghost then how is Alia Di & Meera Di having lunch with her?"
"Its.....Oh yeaahhh! And I forgot that ghosts dont come out during the day." Ishaan replied making Pihu smack her own forehead in defeat.
"The question is, if Badi Ma was alive then where has she been? And how do Meera Di & Alia Di know her?" Pihu asked.
"Lets find out."
"How?"
"By spying." Ishaan replied, before Pihu could stop him he took a menu and while hiding his face went and sat on a table near Meera & Alia.
"Ishaan!" Pihu whisper yelled. Sighing she also took a menu and hid her face while walking to the table Ishaan was sitting at. "Ishaan...I do not condone this! This is wrong, we cant just spy on people like this."
"Then what are you doing here?" Ishaan whispered back with a smirk.
"Shhh..." Pihu chose to ignore Ishaan and they both tried to listen.
"Its great having lunch with you two after so long." Annika smiled.
"I know, so sorry aunty that I couldnt come to pick you guys up from the airport that day." Alia replied.
"Thats okay Alia."
"Oh Ma, you didnt say what job did you get?" Ishaan & Pihu's eyes widened in shock as they looked at eachother when Meera said Ma.
"Dance teacher, I will teach little kids dance....I've done that before so its good." Annika looked at her cellphone to check the time, "Oh look at the time, I should get home now"
"Ok. Bye Ma." Meera hugged Annika as they got up their seats.
"Bye Aunty!" Annika then got in an auto and left.
"Chal, hume bhi office jaana chahiye." Meera told Alia.
"Badi Ma is alive?" The girls looked at the table beside them and saw Pihu & Ishaan sitting there.
"Pihu! Ishaan! you...what are you two doing here?" Alia nervously asked.
"Badi Ma disappeared 25 years ago, and you are 24 almost 25...means you are Bade Papa and Badi Ma's daughter....our sister." Pihu asked with tears in her eyes. "Meera Di, you knew this?"
"....Yes." Meera answered.
"Badi Ma was actually alive all this time-" Ishaan said.
"One minute...what do you mean Ma was alive?"
"When did Annika aunty die?" Alia asked confused.
"25 years ago, thats what we have always been told..." Pihu replied. "Why didnt you say something?"
"I'll tell you." Meera then explained the whole situation Pihu & ishaan.
"I want to reunite Ma & Paa, I want to be able to call my Dad Papa, I want to see my family complete....Ma is really angry with Papa and I dont know why..... If everyone in Oberoi Mansion finds out who I am then Ma will find out that I am lying to her. So please...Pihu, Ishaan...please promise me you wont say anything to anyone."
"But Di...."
"Please." Pihu & Ishaan looked at each other and sighed.
"Okay Di, we promise." Pihu replied.
"Pinky promise?" Meera held out her little finger. Smiling Pihu & Ishaan both hooked their little fingers to Meera's
"PINKY PROMISE!" Ishaan & Pihu both say and then hug Meera.
"You know, I always felt a sister wali feeling whenever I am with you, now I know...its cause you really are our Di" Ishaan said.
"And I am so happy, finally I have a sister otherwise between these three brothers, I was the minority."
"Pihu you are still the minority, 2 sisters and 3 brothers." Ishaan smirked.
"Actually its 3 sisters." Alia replied.
"3? How?" Pihu asked.
"Saahil Mama has a 6 year old daughter...Mishti."
"I have a question." Ishaan put of his hand. "Saahil Mama, is Choti Ma and Badi Ma's brother right?"
"Yeah..."
"So technically he is your, Dev bhai's and Pihu's Mama...what should Jai bhai & I call him?"
"Ishaan, you and Jai can also call him Mama....I really dont think he will mind." Meera laughed at Ishaan's concern.
