*Neville Pov*

"Deep fry all of these." She ordered yet again and I just stared at the quantity of Roti's made from dough which seems to be enough for the whole lane.

"Why to deep fry these, Aunt? Can't we just do them like normal without much oil?" I asked, to which she as usual glared whenever I gave a suggestion.

"It's been nearly one month since I have been trying to teach you, but still you didn't learn a thing." She said and I stared at her with shock.

"You taught me? When did that happen? Was I sleeping?" I asked, feeling tired like from the past week and not in the mood for her lies.

"When will you learn to talk with respect to the elders?" she asked with tired voice but I didn't back down.

"When I get that in return." I replied, to which she again glared before turning on the stove.

"In half an hour everyone will be down for breakfast and I need them ready." She said before walking away and I sighed walked near to the stove.

What is going on in my life? I should be sitting in an office planning for some construction, but here I am doing something for which I am not even getting some recognition.

No one says a word at the dinner table, but eats everything. It was not better than before with the behavior of any of them towards me.

I know that I should care how Yash and I am there with each other, but I know it is difficult to stay in the house completely without much better attitude from any one of them.

I really should start searching for some job if I am going to stay here forever. I can't do all this every day no matter what, when my heart is not into them.

I want to say all these with Yash but he is busy himself. I don't know when her parents will return and when he can stop meeting her.

If her duty was not there then he could have returned early and we could have got enough time to spend. Even Nic is busy with her work as she needs to leave again soon.

And my Dad still didn't stop calling me like I didn't stop hanging up his calls. Why will I even talk to him?

Why does everyone try too much to be great after doing a mistake? Don't they know that they could have been normal from before itself to not have much tough time.

My Mom and Dad are really alike and maybe that's what made them separate. To top of all this I can see many drama's.

The drama of my step-dad and Mom is literally making me crazy to keep quiet in their matter. If you like someone then you should say it right? What will you get hiding it?

I sighed and immediately gasped when I felt so much oil falling on my hand. I turned off the stove before staring at my hand in shock.

"God!" I mumbled and rushed near to the water turning the tap.

"What happened? Why is everything not finished?" I heard Aunt's voice and turned to see Mom and her walking inside.

"Oil fell on my hand." I replied to which Aunt snorted.

"We all got that experience. It will be fine in a few minutes and finish everything." She said and started walking away but stopped when Mom just stared at me before moving towards me.

"Bhabhi! I think Bhai may need you." Aunt said and walked away but Mom walked near to me.

"Is it burning? Was it too much?" she asked and I held my shivering in control trying to suppress the sensation.

"If you are really concerned then why didn't you say anything when she was ordering me to continue my work?" I asked to which she frowned but started moving towards the cupboards.

"She hates us, Neville. I know she will not place any boundaries and wished that all this had not happened." She replied and still continued to search.

"What do you mean?" I asked her frowning and bit my lip feeling the first moment of burn across my arm.

"I was not against Yash and your relation for any reason other than that Kalyani will not leave you alone for the reason of being my daughter. And also because I know Yash will not move away from India and you have to stay here itself. No one can adopt to the new places and will get problems. I didn't want either Yash or you to get hurt because of any reason." She explained and walked near to me.

"Why are you allowing her to hate me? Aren't Mom's supposed to protect the children?" I asked staring at her and took a breath not wishing to cry before her for any reason.

"I wished to do it with all my heart but the mistake is on my side. I know I can't do anything and she will not listen no matter what. The situation may get worse than this." She said and moved to hold my hand but I shook my head moving away from her.

"I don't want your concern which you show hiding from others. If you really care for me then do it before everyone." I said moving towards the door.

"Let me put something on the area. Just please let me do it." She pleaded but I turned towards her.

"There are people here who doesn't care to stand for me and will do this too by themselves." I said walking away and rushed towards Yash's room.

However, I stopped when I saw him getting down the stairs. I rushed near to him and stood before him.

"Yash! I need your help." I said holding his hand.

"Not now, Nev! I need to go and meet Kiran." He said checking some papers in his hand.

"But I really need you." I said tightening my hold ignoring the yet again piercing from jealousy.

"This is really important, Nev. We will talk after I returned." He said and folded the papers.

"My hand got burned, Yash. I really need your help." I said not being able to keep the irritation out of it.

"That's it? Go and apply some ointment there, Nev. I am really getting late." He said stepping away and started walking towards the door.

"Yash!" I shouted but he just waved at me shouting back that we will talk in the evening.

I don't know why or how but the tears started flowing like some barrier just broke which I constructed with hard work.

You shouldn't cry! You are not supposed to cry! I thought brushing them away with one hand and felt the burning sensation increasing more and more with each second.

I rushed out of the house and towards Grandy's house before shouting for her. When I saw her sitting on the floor doing something with flowers, I fell near her and hugged her tightly.

"Nev! What happened, dear?" she asked, but I cried more hugging her.

"Oil... fell... on my hand. It is burning and... and it seems to be silly for everyone." I replied and cried more to which she tried to console.

However, I didn't stop until I felt something being put on my hand. I turned to see surprisingly, my Granddad is applying something which seems to be giving me cooling effect.

"If we apply it continuously, it will reduce and the burning sensation will go." He said and the tears that stopped didn't stay like that anymore.

"You care for me too." I said wailing and hugged him.

"You will be fine." They both assured me and I just laid my head over Grandy's lap and Granddad stayed beside me only taking care of my wound.

*Yash Pov*

"Did he left?" Kiran asked the moment I reached near the table.

"Yes! I never thought he would really check on us like this every day until I reach. Where did your parents find him?" I asked, sitting in the chair.

"He is just doing what he was asked." She defended and I chuckled.

"I forgot that he is your crush." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"Did you bring the papers?" she asked and I nodded passing them.

"Thank god! Now, these will help me in too many ways, of which one would be the end of these meetings everyday." She said sighing in relief.

"Thanks for finding this information. I know this is not your area, but I also know you don't like that much to come here and meet me." She added and I waved her off.

"It's not like you are not a good friend. But Nev does not like all this and I am glad all this finished before few days." I said and she nodded before calling the waiter.

"Everything would have been fine if she had known about my own love life I mean about the crush." She said sighing.

"Yeah! And I still don't understand why did, you made me promise not to tell her mainly." I asked frowning.

"Because I was feeling so shameful. I mean she is so strong and daring who said by herself that she loves you before you, but here I am sitting back, making my crush itself search for the marriage proposals." She said sighing, and I laughed.

"Everything is fine except for my Mom's torture on her. I don't know when will she accept or will she never." I said frowning.

"You both stay at the same house, right? Why don't you tell your family that she is pregnant and they will make sure that you both are married within a day if possible." She advised and I laughed at that.

"Nev will never lie no matter what and is always straightforward." I said and immediately frowned, remembering a few words of hers when I was coming here.

"What happened?" she asked frowning.

"Does the oil falling on the hand burns too much?" I asked and she nodded.

"It is unbearable and we have to take many precautions otherwise anything can happen to the skin along with infection." She replied and I immediately stood up.

"What happened now?" she asked, frowning more.

"Nev said her hand burned, but I was so in a hurry to come here and give papers so that I can give her happy news of me never meeting you except she wishes. So, I kind of said to just put some ointment and didn't give any heed to her words." I replied and took the bike keys.

"Then hurry to your place and you have been a great friend. Hope we will meet some day if ever it is possible." She said and I nodded, giving her a small smile before rushing towards the bike.

What have I done? I should have listened to her words and I just hope she is fine with not much wound.
