A Mischievous Gutsy Girl.

Chapter 74. 'The Chit-Chat During The Inner Shakiness.'

"Just remember one thing, Krish-Kavya," the siblings look at Nikita with all of them as she says, "Please don't misunderstand Mom-Dad. We are not in their shoes. We can't understand what they went through while doing all of this just to keep you and your twin safe. I hope you understand what I'm saying."

Krish sighs deeply slumping his shoulders and looks down. He chews on his bottom lip before looking up at her and saying, "You guys did not talk to them for so long. I hope I can atleast take my time. . . . . " he trails off before finishing with a slight lopsided smile, " . . . .Big sister."

She smiles brightly before saying, "Sure, Little one."

"I did not know Nikki will be able to handle him." Nishant mutters from the doorway. He has been listening and watching them with Kirti, Vihaan, Tej, Mrityunjay and Trisha to make sure things don't take wrong turn. Abhishek who has been observing everything silently, leaves quietly.

"She is growing up." Vihaan says and wipes the corner of his left eye.

"When did she grow up?" Tej comments licking his lips blinking back his tears.

Kirti and Nishant look at each other before she rolls her eyes and drags the brothers with their sleeves saying, "Don't act like my Grandmas. Let's go. Give them space."

"Come on! I'm not that younger." Krish says rolling his own eyes while Nikita argues, "No! You are! I'm two years elder than you and 1 year than Kavya."

"I'm not going to call you Di(Elder sister) for that." Kavya says rolling her eyes.

"None of you have to. But he is our Baby brother he has to accept." Nikita teases. Kavya winks in reply.

"Ugh!" Krish groans while Kavya chuckles as the two leave for inside.

Their friends sigh before smiling to each other. "Give it come time. It's gonna be fine." Varun says to Kavya, Ayaan and Sumit who nod offering small smiles.

"Come! Let's have something to eat or the info you guys got will not digest easily." Advik finally speaks up earning chuckles.

On the Roof :

Nishi was looking at the sky. Like always, she feels a need to calm down. She could hear the voices continuously trying to talk to her. Her heart was restlessly thumping in her ribcage and soul? She didn't know when the pain started gripping her throat again making her feel the need for more air in her lungs. She could see a movie being played in front of her eyes while breathing gets heavier with each second,

"Whel al my palents? Al they dead? Ol they left me becoj I tok too muchh? बोलो ना Pappy!"

[ "Where are my parents? Are they dead? Or they left me because I talk too much? Tell me, Pappy(Grandpa)!" ]

"Your Nanny is no more, Nishu! She is no more! She left your Pappy and you alone! She left us alone! She left us!"

"This is your family. They're your parents and he is your elder brother, Vihaan. Vihaan Bhaiya. Your Vihu Bhaiya."

"Your Pappy is no more, Sweetie. I'm sorry."

"इस पर किसी का साया है, बाबुजी!"
