Destiny's Game

Chapter - 13

After being scolded by her father Anamika directly moved to her room, she was disheartened by her father's harsh words while her mother as always was a silent spectator. Instead of saving her she scolded her even more. 

Anamika throws herself on the bed, digging her face in the pillow. Sometimes she just feels like running away from them but she knows it will invite trouble for Ruhana too. They'll definitely blame her for it and Vineet will never bear with that. 

Anamika let out a sigh and dial a number, a call to Siddharth!! After Ruhana, the guy had been her happy place, he understands her so well even if she doesn't say anything. 

Siddharth responds to the call after a few rings. 

"Hii Sid!! It's me, Anamika!!" Anamika acknowledges him to which he responds to her greeting. 

"Hey Ana!! How's you? Or tumhari Di? Wo kaisi hai? I hope tumhare brother - in - law ne mujhe dekha na ho, I don't want agar mere wajah se tumhe koi problem ho!" Siddharth express. 

"Sid!! Tum itna kyun soch rahe ho? Unhone dekh bhi liya toh kya fark padta hai? Bina dekhe kaunsa unko muh band rehta hai jo aap koi khash fark padega!" She grunted. 

"Kuch hua hai kya? Sab thik hai? Tum thik ho na Ana!? Dekho main jaanta hoon tumhari unn se nahi banti par let it be, waise bhi tum kuch din ke liye wahan gayi ho, unn se ladd ke khudko aur apni Di ko udash mat karo." He said convincingly. 

"Mujhe yahan aana hi nahi tha!!" Anamika exclaims. 

"Ana yaar, not again!! I know tum nahi jana chahti wahan par ye bhi toh dekho tumhe tumhari Di se milne ko mil raha hai wahan. Yahan tum unhe itna yaad karti rehti ho aur aab kab wahan ho toh udas ho, not fair!! Ye mat socho ki wahan tumhare jeej hai bas ye socho ki wahan tumhari Di bhi hai jinko bhi tumhe bahut khushi hui hogi." Siddharth says convincingly, for he knows that his girl is not comfortable around her brother - in - law but then she's happiest around her sister. So a little cooperation won't harm. 

"I know par still, but I don't feel good. Bas Di hai issliye main chup hoon nahi toh bhag jaati kab ka!!" Anamika exclaims making a face. 

"Dekha dekha!! Main keh raha tha na isko tumhari fikar hi nahi hai par tum ho ki maanti hi nahi!" Vineet exclaims who entered the room and heard Anamika's last statement. 

Anamika immediately cuts the call, she doesn't want any teasing session over it that too when her parents are around. 

Ruhana gazes at her sister who seems to be upset, clearly their father has shouted over her. 

"Aapko sharam nahi aati dusro ki baat chup ke sunte hue!" Anamika rolled her eyes over him as they approached her to the bed. Ruhana takes her seat beside her and holds her hand, caressing her palm affectionately while Vineet too takes a seat. 

"Aati hai na.. Jitni sharam tumhe mere room mei ghus ke taaka jhaki karne mei aati hai utni hi mujhe bhi aai." He giggled while she just sighs. 

"Vineet mujhe Ana se kuch baat karni hai!" Ruhana told her husband, indicating to him to leave them alone for sometime so that they can converse. 

"Main disturb nahi karunga!" He assured her but Ruhana wasn't pleased and requested him again, Vineet sighs. 

"Tum dono bhi jaane aisa kya baat karoge jo mere samne nahi kar sakte!" He pouts and leaves the room. 

Once he leaves, Ruhana holds Anamika's hand asking her about the matter. 

"Dad is upset!! Unko lagta hai Jeej aapke kehne pe mujhe lene gaye the aur aapko meine kaha. Abhi mujhe itna sunaya dono mia biwi ne aur kal toh apne saath shayad le bhi jaaye fir mera kya hoga pata nahi. Uspe mujhe Jeej pe bilkul bharosha nahi, unhone Dad ke samne kuch keh diya toh fir meri death pakki hai!" Anamika exclaims, making a sour face.
