Ravi's PoV
I just gave Anni a pat on her head once we entered my room. I'm so proud of her. She did the right thing. She stood up for herself. But I'm now scared of her post-shock reaction. She is holding up better so far.
"Ravi! You are not telling anything that happened now to uncle." she said.
She is not going to cry? Surprising!
"But anni we have to let him know." I told her. She is misjudging the seriousness of this situation.
"You want him to feel bad? I can handle your brother's tantrums. After all, I have handled my baby sister all these years. Besides, me and your brother have this agreement where we won’t take up the matters to elders." She said,
"Anni! Just now I thought you were a feisty and fierce girl. But now you are proving to be Dumb." I can't let this slide under dad’s knowledge. If Smirthi has come here after everything she has done, then she is not to be taken lightly.
"Ravi please understand. I want your brother's love. He can't deny your dad if he asks him to lead his life with me. But I don’t want that kind of life. I don’t want him to compromise his life. Remember I told you all to give me 3months time to gain his love? I'm asking for the same now. Wait for it Ravi. Trust me!"
"I trust you, anni! But we should let dad know about Smirthi's arrival. It will be for our own good. He may stop the bad things that come our way or at least he will be our moral support."
"Mmmmm you may be right. You tell him that she showed up and we turned her away. You are not telling him what exactly happened." she demanded.
"What? you want me to lie to my dad? That's a sin anni!" I tried to make the situation light.
"You can do that sin for me, bud!" she said smiling.
My anni is definitely a different kind of girl. I trust her completely on kicking my bro's ass. Sometime ago she was all scared and crying. But now she is all confident and laughing. She is behaving like nothing has happened a while ago. I think she is a bit crazy. But I like her so much.
D's PoV
After a chit chat with Ravi, I felt all better. I am going to try my best to turn his attention to me. I will not give up until the 3months are over.
Go, D, Go! You can do it. Grab your hubby's throat and ask him to love you.
Shut up! Let me first see him.
I went down to see what's happening. Rishi was sitting on the couch and Smirthi was nowhere to be found. I took the coffee and warmed up for Rishi. He looked troubled and a hot coffee can do magic to your confused and tired brain. I placed the coffee near him on the table and sat near Rishi on the couch and called Ravi.
"Ravi! Come here. Bring your phone".
Rishi just turned to look at me. I winked at him and pouted my lips at him giving him a flying kiss. He gave me that unbelievable look and turned away irritated.
“Drink that coffee before it turns cold again.” I told him that he neglected me deliberately.
"Here anni! What happened to your phone?" Ravi came from his room.
Rishi glanced at me again and with a small smile I told Ravi, "I dropped it and it broke!"
"You broke your new phone?!" he asked horrified.
"Yes! and my darling hubby here has promised me with a new I-phone on the latest version. He is going to buy me tomorrow!" I eyed Ravi and he played along.
"Wow! Did my bro say you should use things only from him??!! That's so nice anni!? Awww! So romantic" he added.
"Shut up both of you, idiots" Rishi just barked at us and went to our room.
When I called my uncle, he said he's almost home. We had dinner together. But my stupid husband said he is not hungry. I told Ravi to tell mama about what happened when I'm not present. He may tell him after I leave to our room now. I bid good night to both of them and went to my room only to find the room empty.
Where the hell did he go?!
THE SECRET ROOM! I should find it. I went into the dressing room and started opening every door. There is nothing so far. When I tried opening the last door it was locked. Locked? I mean who locks the wardrobe door? So, it must be it. I knocked it and waited. No answer. I'm not going to let him be at peace.
How dare he ask me to apologize to her? The worst is he didn't even let me explain. He can’t escape me. I knocked again and there was no answer again. Irritated, I went out. Ravi came in after knocking with a glass of milk for my hubby.
"Where is he anni!?"
"I don’t know. He is not here. Did you tell mama already?"
