Sandhya Pov

"Adhya I don't have space in my bag can you please adjust these in your bag?", Said Pihu while forwarding some of her clothes towards me,

"Who told you to shop too much when you have shortage of space?", I scolded her,

"Please Adhuu only these clothes, you are my bestest friend please", Pihu said while using her buttering tricks,

"Your tricks won't work on me", I said seriously,

She sat down on the bed beside me and squeezed me in a bone crushing hug,

"Pleaseee........", She said while continuously stretching the word please,

"Aacha Baba thik hai rakhti hu mera kaan ka parda mat phad", I finally agreed,
("Okay I will keep them don't damage my eardrums")

"Thank you so much", she said and pecked on my cheek,

I shook my head on her tactics and continued to pack my luggage,

We will be leaving in three hours, I have completed almost all my packaging only the last moment preparations are left to do but Pihu and Sonia both lazy bees have just now started to pack their bags and struggling with the space,

'Knock knock', someone knocked on the door,

I stood up and opened the door,

"Mom is calling Adhya Di in her room, if you are Adhya Di then go to Mom's room but if you are Sonia Di then please inform her", informed one of the twins,

Well, I am not the only one who is struggling to recognise the true identity of twins,

"It feels great when the feeling is mutual, for your kind information I am your Adhya Di and you?", I said,

"It's Kush now I can understand how everyone feels around me and Luv", he said while I giggled,

I went towards Kareena Aunty's room while trying to think the reason, why she is calling me?,

Because of my accident I didn't get any chance to talk to her alone everytime someone use to be around me,

I knocked her room's door and she instantly replied,

"Come in door is not locked",

I twisted the knob to open the gate and went inside, I noticed Kareena Aunty is folding some clothes while Rahul uncle is doing something on the laptop,

"Come Sandhya sit down", said Rahul uncle and gestured me to sit down on the bed,

I smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed,

Kareena Aunty picked up all the folded clothes and kept it inside the closet,

She sat down Infront of me and grabbed my hand while Rahul uncle also shutdown his laptop and focused his attention on me, both of them seems tensed and nervous, why? I am confused,

"You know Sandhya when your mother was pregnant she was not in her true senses, she was just like a living robot who only eat and sleep, I took care of her and make sure that her twins are healthy and safe, I used to feel that the babies are mine and I am their mother, I always wanted to treat them as my own kids and shower all my love on them,

But when she delivered the infants I didn't get the opportunity to shower them with my love, to save them from Ranga I had to leave them, so unwillingly I dropped them in an orphanage", Kareena Aunty said,

I listened carefully, I don't know why she is saying all this again?, What's their motive?,

"When I came out of Ranga's grasp Rahul came in my life, we got married and after sometime I got pregnant and when I got to know that I am also carrying twins I thought God has returned me my babies whom I had lost", she said and her eyes filled with tears,

"You know na? me and Rahul always adores you and always wanted to adopt you but that Bansal never allowed us?", She enquired and I nodded my head,

"I won't waste any more minute and come straight to the point", she said while looking at Rahul uncle, he nodded his head in approval and gestured her to go ahead,

I am still confused, what's going on in their minds?, Kareena Aunty took a deep breath and said,

"I want my baby back!, I am glad that one of my baby is in safe hands but my other baby she is still struggling and alone, I want to adopt you Sandhya, Will you give me the honour of being your mother?"

The moment she said that my heart became heavy with happiness and soon the excessive of happiness started coming out of my eyes in the form of happy tears,

I nodded my head in approval, she wide spread her arms and gestured me to give her a hug,

I immediately lean forward and hugged her tightly, I felt peace, I always wished my parents to be like Rahul Uncle and Kareena Aunty and today God fulfilled my that wish,

"I also want to hug my daughter", said Rahul uncle while pouting sadly,

I smiled and stretched out my one arm towards him, we have a trio hug,

I can't express my happiness in words, I was never alone in my life, Raj uncle's and Karuna Aunty's families were always there for me but the feeling of having my own family was always missing but today I got that also,

Form now on I don't have to skip the option of mother's name and father's name while filling up any form,

From now on if someone will ask me my surname then I won't have to answer 'I am an orphan' because today I got my own family, my own parents and my own surname,

From now on I am not an orphan, I am Sandhya Mittal daughter of Rahul Mittal and Kareena Mittal,

"What's going on here?", Enquired one of the twins while coming inside the room,

"She agreed?", Enquired the other twin,

Both Kareena Aunty and Rahul uncle nodded their heads in approval and the twins highfived eachother in excitement,

"So it means now you are officially our sister", they said and I nodded my head,

"Yeah", they said happily,

"Okay boys now don't trouble my daughter and help her in packing", said Rahul uncle strictly,

"No need uncle It's already done", I said,

"Uncle? Who's uncle? Remember few minutes ago I adopted you, so from now on I am your Dad not your uncle, understand?", he said and I nodded my head,

"Yes, similarly like that I am your Mom not Aunty", she said,

"Okay Mom, Okay Dad", I wishpered and burst out crying hard,

I can't handle this much of happiness so I let all my emotions to flow out in the form of my tears,

Mom hugged me tightly and Dad patted my back to sooth me,

After crying for sometime I composed myself and wiped out all my tears, I broke the hug and smiled,

"You fine?", Enquired Mom,

I nodded my head in approval,

"Come with me I want to show you something", she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room,

She took me towards one of the spare room of the house and open the gate,

"Tan..ta..dan welcome to your new room", she said,

I looked at her confusedly she nodded her head and encouraged me to get inside,

Hesitantly I came inside but I can't see anything because lights are off, I was going to turn around to enquire about the light switch but before I can do such the lights turned on and my mouth along with my eyes turned wide,

Straight Infront of me there is a huge portrait, it includes all of us, I am standing in the middle, both twins are on my each side while Dad is on the right corner and Mom is on the left corner, the interior of the room is just the way I like, their is a big queen size bed in the middle, the walls are painted with the combination of white and pink colour, there is a white fluffy soft carpet placed on the floor beside the bed, there is a huge window having pink colour curtain,

"How's it?", She enquired,

"Awesome", I replied,

"I am glad you like it", She said,

"Like it? I love it", I said and hugged her tightly while she giggled,

"If you want you can modify it the way you want", she assured me,

"No it's perfect", I said,

"Me and Rahul have organised this room for you we wanted to show you the moment you come back but you showed up with your twin sister and I started blaming myself and became sad after that you saw me crying then I told you truth and then you met with an accident, so, the circumstances didn't allowed us to show you your room, but when you agreed to be my daughter I can't control myself and dragged you here without wasting any more minute", she said,

"Sonia, Sandhya, Pihu", shouted Saurya Bhaiya,

The moment I heard his voice I became sad, I don't want to leave,

"Mom I don't want to go", I said sadly,

"Don't worry just few months more, after your final exams we won't let you stay away from us", she said,

"But my MBA?", I said hesitantly,

"As you know the best MBA college is in this city and I know you will definitely get admission in the best one", she said,

"I hope so", I wishpered,

"I know you will beta", she said confidently,

I came back to my old room grabbed my luggage and came downstairs, Pihu and Sonia were already waiting for me inside Saurya Bhaiya's car,

I gave goodbye hug to Mom, Dad, Luv and Kush, and came out along with them,

I noticed that there is an alteration in sitting arrangement now Pihu is on the passenger seat beside Saurya Bhaiya and Sonia is transferred to the back seat with me,

Saurya Bhaiya started the engine and begin our journey, I waved final goodbye to everyone,

During journey I shared the news of my legal adoption with them, they all became very happy for me,

After nine hours finally we reached my hostel, I came out of the car, Bhaiya took out my luggage from car trunk and handed over it to me, I bid them goodbye and went inside,

I am feeling so tired the moment I entered my room I changed my clothes, lied down on the bed and falls in deep slumber,

'Tring Tring Tring'

"Urrrrr!" I groaned and covered my ears with my palms,

'Tring Tring Tring'

"Arrrr!", Irritatedly I woke up because of the continuous ringing of my cellphone,

"Hello", I said in a sleepy tone,

"Good morning sleepy head", someone said,

"Who are you?", I said irritatedly,

"Your loving Dad", he replied,

I sat down instantly and checked the caller ID, it shows Rahul uncle, I have to change the name of caller ID I reminded myself,

"Sorry Dad, I was sleeping I didn't checked the caller ID", I apologized,

"It's okay Princes, now go down there is a surprise waiting for you", he said,

"Surprise?", I wishpered confusedly and a yawn escaped from my mouth,

"Yes, surprise now go down soon", he said I stood up wore my flipflops and started going down,

I didn't found anything which seems like surprise,

"Dad Are you trying to mess with me?", I said strictly,

"Why you saying that?", He asked,

"Because there is nothing called surprise available here", I said,

"Oh! go out you will find out", he said,

"Hmm", I hummed and came out,

My eyes became wide and my lips spread in happiness the moment I saw my Scooty parked Infront of my hostel,

"My Scooty", I shouted happily,

"Yes your Scooty", said Dad,

"Where is the key?", I enquired,

"I will give you the keys only in one condition", he said strictly,

"Condition?", I enquired,

"Yes, you have to promise me you will ride it safely and won't hurt yourself again", he said,

"Okay done I promise I will take care of myself", I said instantly,

"Then here is your keys Mam", someone said,

I turn around and the world around me disappeared, Akash is standing in front of me with my Scooty keys,

I think, I am dreaming, 'focus Sandhya focus' I said to myself and ignored him,

"Dad where is the key?", I asked,

"Oh hello! Am I speaking in Spanish?", Said Akash,

I looked at him confusedly, I went closer to him and nudged slightly on his shoulder with my forefinger to assure that he is actually standing here and I am not hallucinating,

Oh God! My finger didn't passed across him which means he is real, my eyes became wide,

"You are real?", I blurted out,

"What do you mean by I am real?", He said while looking at me weirdly,

Oh shit! He is actually here,

"Beta, Akash must be somewhere around you with your keys", said Dad,

"Yes Dad, he is here, I will call you later", I said and hung up the call,

I noticed Akash folded his arms Infront of his chest and started smirking, I need to control my emotions,

"What was that real thing?", He enquired,

"N..n..nothing", I answered hesitantly,

"Hmmm", he hummed and smiled brightly while looking at me amusedly,

"What?", I said while raising my eyebrows questioningly,

He started coming closer to me while my heart started thumping madly, I clutched my cellphone tightly to hold myself stable, I tried hard to maintain eye contact with him but the intensity of his gaze is so strong I broke the eye contact and started looking everywhere except him, suddenly I felt he is leaning on me as if he is going to kiss me I closed my eyes ready to feel his touch, I can feel the constant movement of my chest because of continuous pounding of my heartbeat,

"You look cute in PJ's", he wishpered on my left ear instead of kissing or touching me,

The moment his warm breathe made contact with my skin a wave of electricity rushed on my entire body, I blushed and lowered my head to hide the redness of my cheek,

Oh God! He can also compliment me like a normal human being, why he choose to say like this?, he doesn't have any idea how badly his close proximity effects me and my entire body,

Akash grabbed the wrist of my right hand and lifted up little higher, I became confused, what he is going to do now?,

He placed the keys on my palm and then went away,

I stood there on the same place for sometime to get normal and steadied my heartbeat,

"One day he will be the death of mine, he don't have any idea what he does to me", I wishpered and came back to my room,

Soon, I finished all my morning chorus had my breakfast and then left for college on my Scooty,

I collected all the notes of those classes which I have missed from some students and came to the library to study,

_______________________________________

Time passed away I studied hard for my final exams with full dedication, today is my last exam after that I will return back to my family and stay with them, it's been three months since I came back here,

Education is my first family, I won't leave it ever until and unless I achieve something in my life,

After that Scooty encounter I and Akash never talked to eachother, it's not like I am avoiding him I was busy doing my exam preparations, he also never tried to contact me maybe he is busy on impressing that girl,

I got ready, visit the temple to take God's blessings and then left for exam center,

I came out of the exam center having bright smile on my face, I came back to my hostel room and started packing all my stuff because finally I am leaving this hostel and going back to my home 'My own Home' ,

As today is my last day here in this town so, Pihu and Sonia decided to visit and help me on my packing, they must be here any minute,

"Hi Twinny", shouted Sonia,

"Hey Adhya", shouted Pihu,

"You are late now don't waste my time and start working", I said strictly,

"Okay Mam", they said in unison and then we all giggled,

"Adhuu I will miss you a lot", said Pihu,

"Yes Twinny we will miss you", Sonia said sadly and back hugged me,

"Awww! I will also miss you both", I said and stretched my arms gesturing Pihu to come,

She understood my gestured and hugged me tightly from front, all three of us started shedding tears but I composed myself,

"Hey I am not going too far you can visit me anytime", I said to enlighten their mood,

"Hmmm", they hummed sadly,

They helped me to pack my things, soon all my stuffs are packed and I am ready to go, tomorrow morning Dad is coming to pick me up,

Me, Sonia and Pihu along with Saurya Bhaiya went to have some famous street foods of this town which I am going to miss very much,

We ate Pani Puri, chat and Chole Bhature then they dropped me back at my hostel,

_______________________________________

Dad had called me that he will reach here at 9'o clock now the time is 8'o clock, I checked all my packed stuff for one last time to assure that I kept everything without leaving anything behind,

I am too excited, finally I am going to live my life as a normal girl with my loving parents and brothers, yeah!,

I heard the sound of car horn and rushed towards the balcony, it's Dad's car, I started running and came downstairs,

"Dad", I shouted excitedly,

"Princess", he said with equal excitement and hugged me tightly,

We loaded all my bags on his car trunk with the help of some hostel staff and left for my hometown, my real hometown where I will live with my real parents,
