Happy birthday my darling kushi❤️ Khushworld1234

This shot is dedicated to you

"Papa. Ask your second wife to give me a break at least on New year" Neha told her father huffing in anger

Her mother... No!! Stepmother, she decided, because there's no way this woman is her mother

No mother treats their children this way.

Only evil stepmothers do!!

And the poor Cinderella that she is, is suffering under her evil step mom

They should have named her Elle.

No!! All cinderellas are named Elle. She ought to be different

They should have just named her Cinders!!

Wah!! Cinders Bhatia

And she could have waited for her Prince charming to come riding in his white horse to rescue her from this house where she is ill treated

Oh!! She can imagine Zi- Zi coming in his Cheru to save her and she would put down her long hair from the tower top so that he could climb up??

Neha frowned lightly

Wasn't that snow white who put down her long hair???

If it was snow white, who was that stupid girl who ate the poisonous apple the wicked witch gave her.

How could someone be so careless as to eat something from a stranger

Okay!! If the wicked witch had given the stupid girl a pizza, she would have understood.

"Second wife??" Uday Bhatia ,her father frowned

"Yes. My mother died giving birth to me na?? You shouldn't have re married. It would have been awesome if it were only you and me" Neha said as she sat next to her father who was having a can of beer and her father shook his head

"You didn't tidy up your room yet??" Poonam Bhatia came from the kitchen and stared at her with hands on her hips

Evil step-mom alert!! Screamed Neha's brain

"I just came home today and she's already making me do work. I only stay for two days na papa" Neha said looking at her father with puppy eyes which always managed to melt the man's heart

"Poonam. Let her be!! I will clean up her room tomorrow"

"Aur bigaado usse. I have a headache and I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too late Neha" Poonam warned and went off to bed (Yeah! Keep spoiling her)

The father daughter duo sat in silence for a while

Neha sneaked glances at the drink in her father's hand several times

"Papa?? You want some pickle??" Neha asked and her father

"No. There's beef fry. That's enough"

"Papa?? You want soda or water??" Neha again asked

Uday Bhatia rolled his eyes and extended the beer can towards her

"Me?? Uh no papa" Neha said with a sheepish smile to which her father rolled his eyes

"Try" he said and Neha took it peered into it

"Shouldn't I pour water??" Neha asked

"In beer??"

"No?? Okay" she said and took a big gulp of the beer

"Slowly"

"Give me that beef" Neha ordered and her father extended the plate towards her

She took another two gulps merrily

"It tastes good huh??" Uday asked

"Haa papa. Very good"

"Don't make a habit of this" Uday Bhatia murmered

After another two gulps Neha let out a shrill cry shocking her father

"Neha. Chup. You momma will wake up"

"Evil step momma" Neha corrected in between her crying

"Yeah. The evil step momma can be a very evil wife too sometimes. So don't make noise"

Neha continued crying

"I did a big fraud papa" Neha confessed shocking her father again

"What fraud?? What did you do??"

"When I was in school. I used to change my marks on the paper to get your signature. For that last biology exam I got only 9 marks. I added a 2 in the front and made in 29. I fooled you papa" Neha confessed crying and her father laughed and pulled her into a hug

"It's okay. You can make it up in the next exam" Uday said and Neha stopped crying

"Really papa??" She asked

Uday nodded and Neha smiled

"Papa!! Some people do love marriages!! Is it wrong??"

"What wrong?? It's their wish" Uday said off handedly

"Really?? It's not a bad thing then??" Neha mumbled t herself dreaming about her zi zi

Uday frowned seeing the dreamy look on his daughter's face

"But you shouldn't do that. Papa will find the best guy in the world for you. You are my darling baby na??" Uday asked hugging his daughter

Neha cried again

"I have been cheating you papa. You are such a wonderful papa and you love me so much and here I have been cheating you for so long" Neha cried

"Cheat?? What cheat??" Uday asked in horror

"There's a big crime happening in this house" Neha said

"What crime??"

"All your hard earned money is being stolen here papa. It's getting stolen. Momma steals them when you are in the shower or when you are out. I sometimes help her when she offers to buy me chocolate. I'm sorry papa" Neha cried making Uday laugh again

"I know that darling. Where do you think your mother gets money to buy you things" Uday said and Neha scrunched her nose in annoyance

"Oh ho!! So this Neha Bhatia's words doesn't have any value in this house!!" Neha stated standing up from the couch taking the plate of beef along with her

"Where are you going??"

"I'm going. Now I know I'm not the step daughter. I'm in fact the adopted daughter. That's why no one values me" Neha said and walked to her room still dizzy from the alcohol effect

****
Same night in Delhi

Kushi dragged her sleepy brother out of the flight towards the immigration area

They had landed in Delhi at midnight and as soon as they switched on their phone, it started binging with messaged and calls

It's the twins' birthday and they had runaway from home to Delhi

There was no particular reason for running away. She simply wanted the adrenaline flow she usually gets by doing outrageous things

She had their luggage packed the day before and had loaded it already in her car and had woken her sleeping brother and dragged him out of the house without even telling him where they were going

Vansh being the sweet and lovely brother that he is, followed his sister. He would do so even if she is dragging him to the hell

Kushi would have loved to go to Delhi alone, as she wasn't very keen on her brother accompanying her for the purpose of 'protecting' her

But they had never spent a birthday away from each other and kushi simply couldn't do it

"Momma must be worried sick finding us missing" Vansh said seeing the hundreds of missed calls on his phone

They must have come at midnight to wish them and found the twins missing

"They will get over it" Kushi said and as soon as she said it her phone started ringing and it was her kauvii maasi

She attended the call

"Where are you?? Why is your phone switched off?? Why do you always have to give us heart attacks??" Kavya went on and Kushi rolled her eyes

"What use in giving all those heart attacks. You are still alive" Kushi said coolly

"You stupid girl! Where are you??"

"In Delhi. I'm to join the institute on Monday" Kushi said

"I know. You two were supposed to go on Sunday with your parents" Kavya said

"What's the fun in that" Kushi asked

"If you want fun you should have gone alone. Why did you drag my vanshu along with you. I wanted to spend his birthday with him" the stupid kauvi said and Kushi's blood boiled

Vansh is her brother and only she has the right to spend the birthday with him.

"Tough luck. He's all mine" Kushi said and hung up

"Now what??" Asked a still sleepy Vansh

"To the apartment brushman bought for us. I stole the key from their room yesterday" Kushi said and they hailed a cab to their new apartment

Once they reached the apartment Vansh walked straight to the bedroom all set to continue his sleep

"Vansh!!" Kushi stopped him

Vansh turned around and kushi came and gave him a tight hug

"Happy birthday Vanshu boi" Kushi said making him smile

"Happy birthday my darling Kush"

Hola gals

How many of you were waiting to know what happened in Vedant Mansion 🤪🤪

I just couldn't help the sadistic pleasure I get in keeping you all waiting

And the father daughter scene in this shot is from a Malayalam movie named June. Ever since I decided to pair up Neha and Zian and thus making Neha a lead character ,this scene have been playing in my mind. I hope you enjoyed it

And last but not the least!! Finally Kushi is in Delhi

Time for some drama 🥳🥳

I'm a little anxious about writing Zahir Kushi story... Because there's a lot of expectations on the couple and I'm not sure whether I could meet up with those. Still I would give my best

Please do vote and comment

Love you guys ❤️
