Chapter 4

*Sara pov*

I was trying to work as fast as I can so I can go home and meet her and her family. But this work is not at all getting completed.

It was already dinner time, I was almost finished. My phone buzzed and I saw that my dad is calling me.

I lifted it and said “Yes dad?”

“When are you going to come princess? We are all waiting for you it’s already dinner time.” He asked.

“Dad why don’t you guys just continue without me, it may take some more time so don’t wait for me.” I replied.

“Are you sure? You can also complete it tomorrow.”

“I am sure dad. I don’t want any pending work so that I can spend time with meghana and her family. So you guys go ahead.”

He sighed and said “Ok but be careful. Call us when you leave the office and please be careful. Drive safely.”

I smiled and said “Ofcourse dad. Bye good night.”

He said “Good night princess.”

I hanged up the phone and continued to do the work. I hope Dad and Mom accept Meghana. Bhai seems like he really love her so I hope he won’t get hurt.

He is very good guy and if she is the one for him then I wish with all my heart that she get my parents acceptance.

*Maggy pov*

Rithesh parents are like so understanding. They are trying so much to get to know me and my family.

I am very nervous. I wish she is here with me today sitting by my side holding my hand and assuring me that everything is going to be ok.

His sister is the one missing at present. They said she got stuck in their office for some important work. I always thought one of my sister-in-law would be Sara and when I meet her tomorrow after getting her address I will make sure that it happens.

Now we are waiting for my future sister-in-law I mean I hope so, to come home so that we can eat dinner.

But when her father called her, she said to continue without her. May be I get to meet my both sister-in-law’s tomorrow itself.

After dinner Ritesh said he will wait for his sister to come home, so me and my brother too stayed with him. We were just talking on general topics.

Suddenly Rithesh asked “Hey Meghana is ‘Megs’ is the only nick name of yours I mean do you have any other nick name like, like ‘maggy’?”

I don’t know why he asked but my eyes went wide but I composed myself and said “Everyone call me only as Megs.”

He nodded. I know it may seem that I lied but I didn’t as I only gave right to call me as maggy to Sara and no one else can.

And from two years no one called me Maggy so I replied him like that. My brother looked at me like he understood.

But I was feeling not good to even tell him this small lie. So I excused myself from them saying that I am thirsty and went towards kitchen but I got suddenly collided with someone. When I looked up I felt like I saw a ghost.

*Sara pov*

I wanted to call my dad when I was leaving but it’s already past 11 so I called my brother informing that I am leaving.

By the time I reached home it’s already nearly midnight, I entered the house.

I am totally hungry so I started going towards kitchen but I suddenly got collided with a person but managed myself from falling.

When I looked up to see the person, my eyes went wide. It’s like Déjà vu.

I can tell she is also in shock. Suddenly I said “Meghana.” Along with my brother who just came near us.

Out of nowhere there is another voice nearing us “What happened Megs? What taking so long for you to drink some water.”

Hearing that voice I couldn’t help but go pale. When he got near us and saw that I am here, he too had the same reaction which I am having now. By looking at him after so much time my breath hitched.

“Hey Sara as you can see she is Meghana.” My brother said pointing at her. I don’t know what to do so I just nodded at her.

Then he pointed towards the person next to him and said “He is her Brother, Ashwin.”

I did the same nodding at him too.

“And guys she is my sister Sara.” He said introducing me.

If their eyes can go any wider than now then they just went.

We all just remained silent thinking how the hell did this even happened in the first place.

“Why are guys so silent?” My brother asked confused.

I cleared my Throat and tried my best to keep my voice in control without shaking and said “Bhai I am tired can I go and take rest.”

“Oh! Sorry Sara I didn’t think about that. You have been working the whole day. Go get some rest. You guys can get to know each other tomorrow.”

I nodded and went to my room forgetting that I was hungry in the first place but I can’t eat any food now.

Forget food I even doubt that I could sleep now.

I got freshen up and lay down on my bed looking at the ceiling and thought about the all memories which returned with full blast after seeing them.

*Flashback*

“He is my brother Ashwin.” She said calmly.

I was shocked would be an understatement, I mean I just talked about her brother yesterday and now she knows that my crush is none other than her brother.

“Wow I mean I never expected that. I am so sorry Maggy I didn’t know that he is your brother otherwise I wouldn’t have talked about him to you at all.”

“Hey it’s ok. I can understand. I am not shocked that you too have a crush on him.”

“What do you mean?” I asked her confused.

“He is popular and he is handsome. So it is obvious that many have crush on him.”

I nodded understandingly.

“And some of my classmates tried to be my friends only so that they can get near to him.” She said sadly.

I felt bad for her, I mean how can one just do that to anyone.

I hold her hand and said “Hey I am sorry about that. No one should act as their friend just for some silly guy.”

She laughed and said “So now your crush is some silly guy ha.”

“Ofcourse not but see you laughed right.”

“Thanks Yaar.” She said hugging me.

“What are friends for? Come on let’s go we are getting late.” I said dragging her towards the entrance.

“Wait! Wait! Don’t you want me to introduce you to him?” She asked confused.

“That can wait. Now let’s go from here.”

“But this is your chance.”

“If it has to happen then it will happen. Now come on.”

She smiled at me and we both calmly started walking. While walking we talked about ourselves. How are the classes and all.

This continued for few days. Passing every day we got more close to each other. Even my parents worry has reduced.

One day when we were both just about going after last period suddenly we heard someone calling ‘Megs’.

We turned around and saw that Ashwin is the one who is calling her but ‘Megs’ isn’t it ‘Maggy’.

In this confusion I forgot that he is coming near us and my heart started beating heavily.

“Hey mom said that she had go to some shop or something and asked you to return with me. As it will take another one hour for her to return and my classes will also complete by that time.” He said after catching his breath.

She nodded but turned toward me apologetically. I smiled and said “It’s ok Maggy, I will go by myself. It’s just for one day right. I will call you later.”

I was about to leave but he asked “Why is she calling you Maggy? You never let anyone call you that.”

I was shocked, “Because I asked her too. Still I will never let anyone to call me that other than her.” She replied.

He saw me for few seconds then he said “Hey you are that girl right to whom I told the directions.”

“Ya.” I told him shyly.

“Hi I am her brother, Ashwin.” He said holding his hand smiling.

“Hi I am her friend, Sara.” I told him returning the gesture trying to control my beating heart.

But when I touched his hand, if my heart was beating higher before now it is beating super higher.

Seeing my reaction Maggy said “Bhai I will stay with Sara for this one hour and I will go home.”

“Ok. Your wish but be careful. Nice to meet you sara. Bye.” He said leaving us.

“Hey Earth to sara.” Maggy said moving her hand in front of my face.

“Sorry yaar just got zoned.”

“You really have super crush on him. I can see very clearly. You are looking at him like there is no one in the entire world other than him.” She said teasingly.

“Please stop it ok. Now tell me why you want only me to call you ‘Maggy’.” I asked her.

“Because you are my best friend.” She said like I must already know it or something.

“Really? You are also.” I said hugging her.

Today is really special I got my Best friend and I talked to my crush.

One Sunday she suddenly called me and asked me to come to her home.

I denied her instantly but she never take no for an answer so that’s why I am standing in front of her house.

I am completely nervous. What if he is here? What if their parents don’t like me?

How stupid Sara, you are acting like as if you are meeting them as Ashwin’s girlfriend but not as Maggy’s friend.

I shook my head and knocked on their door.

A women who is like gorgeous opened the door and looked at me confused then said “You must be Sara, Meghana’s Friend.”

I nodded giving her my hand to shake but she suddenly pulled me towards her and hugged.

Wow I didn’t expected this.

“Leave the poor Child Mrs. Rao. Let her breathe.” Someone said from behind her.

I looked up and saw that there is a man standing there. He looks just like Ashwin.

What!!! I mean Ashwin just looks like him.

Mrs.Rao let me go and said “Sorry dear I was so happy to finally meet you. Meghana said so much about you.”

I nodded at her smiling.

“Wow you are beautiful dear. Where are my manners, come in.” She said.

There I entered their house for the first time.

“Sara….” My mom called me bring me out from my thoughts.

Why is she calling me at this time? I thought and looked to my side to see what the time is?

Wow it’s already morning and my time to get up.

I can’t believe that I didn’t sleep at all.

When I reached down after getting freshen up and going towards kitchen suddenly someone hugged me tightly. Again another Déjà vu.

“Oh! Sara it’s been so long. We missed you so much dear.” Mrs. Rao said hugging me.

From the wetness on my neck I can say that she is crying.

I too hugged her as I missed her so much and released myself from her after some time. Mr.Rao is standing there behind her smiling at me.

“What is happening here princess?” I heard my dad saying from behind me.

“What is going on here Sara?” I heard this from my brother.

I slowly turned towards them and saw that even my mom is there with them and from corner I can see that Maggy and Ashwin are also there.

Now I am Busted!! What should I say to them?
