Sid reached home and changed into night outfit and lied on bed to sleep. But as he laid down, Avu's face came in his mind. His lips curved up into a smile. But soon the smile went as he wondered about her.

Sid's P.O.V.

No one knows much about her here. We don't even know about her family. She just says she live alone. Whenever someone ask about her family, she just changes the topic. She never lets anyone come to her home. She doesn't stay with any of us late. Today also I could clearly see she was kinda worried about something. I feel there is definitely something that she is hiding. Something is fishy about her.

But still her smile, innocence, blush, cute chuckles. Everything about her attracts me towards her. She is a mystery and I would love to solve that mystery. I wish I could read her mind but I will one day for sure.

P.O.V. ends

With these thoughts, sleep took over him. He slept with a smile on his face. Next morning, again the same story. Vibha snatched his duvet and looked at him angrily.

Vi: Iss ldke ki to kbhi neend hi poori nhi hoti. Uthja chup chap

Sid groaned and got up. After half an hour, he came all ready. Vibha was setting breakfast.

Vi: Ashu come. Breakfast krle beta

Sid came and sat on chair. He was eating but same things were going on in his mind as last night. He smiled in between and Vibha noticed.

Vi: (teasing) Lgta hai mereko kitchen ke kaamo se ab jldi aaram mil jaega

Sid: (lost) Hnn

Vi: Tereko roz subah uthane ki tension bhi khatam ho jaegi

Sid: Hnn

Vi: Finally meri ek beti hone ki wish jldi poori ho jaegi

Sid: Hnn...wait what. Aapki beti kha se aayegi?

Vi: Wo to tu btaeyga na

She asked with a teasing smile.

Sid: Mtlb

Vi: Itna bhola bnne ki zaroorat nhi hai. Kon hai wo ldki? Jisne mere Ashu ka dil chura lia

Sid: Ma aesa kuch bhi nhi hai. Aap galat soch rhe ho

Vi: Mein bilkul sahi soch rhi hu. Aur Ashu agar koi hai to btade. Mein bhi jaane se pehle teri shadi dekhloo aur tere bache. Bass phir khushi khushi chali jaungi. Bass ek aakhri ichha reh gyi hai ye

Sid: (coldly) Mom aapko kitni baar kha hai ye ulti seedhi baatein na kia kro

Vi: Achha theek hai gussa matt ho nhi krti. Par beta mera bhi man krta hai iss ghar mein ek bahu ho. Teri biwi. Dekh pressure koi nhi hai. Koi jldi nhi hai shadi ki. Agar koi hai to atleast milwa to de

Sid held her hands in his

Sid: Mom aap maano meri baat sachme filhaal meri life mein koi ldki nhi hai. Aur jis din aayegi sabse pehle aapko btaunga

Vi sighed sadly.

Sid: Achha ok. Ek ldki hai. I mean there is nothing between us yet. It's just that I kinda like her

Vi: (excitedly) Achha. Kon hai?

Sid: Ek employee hai Nigam Enterprises mein aur meri kaafi achhi friend hai

Vi: Chal koi ldki to pasand aayi. To tu kab krega usse propose

Sid: Pta ni mom mein uske baare mein kuch bhi nhi jaanta. Na hi usne kisiko btaya. Sometimes I feel there is some kinda secret she hides. Some pain. I don't know. I am not sure but her eyes show she has gone through something and even is in some pain now

Vi put a hand on his.

Vi: Dekh beta apne dil se poochna. Hmesha apne andar ki awaz sunna. Agar tereko lgta hai andar se ki ye ldki hai mere lie to usse jaane matt dena. Samae tera intzaar nhi krega

Vi picked up the empty plates and left him in his thoughts. Sid left for office with these thoughts.
