The Invisible String

Chapter 23. Unwanted Guest!

“Bhabhi can I ask you a question?” She says sitting beside me. Horror crepts inside me. What could've she noticed?

“Bhabhi sure? Do--do you--I can call the Doctor with the snap of my Fingers!” She continues

“No. I am perfectly fine.” for a moment I thought she caught me.

“Okay I won't force you!” She mumbled And I frowned.

“Let's do the Karaoke bhabhi” she jumps From the bed. I nod enthusiastically, I couldn't stay sad for long and I am glad about this trade I got from My mother. And I don't even want to stay miserable in between Mehrotra's I shouldn't, they are giving me all the love and care, which I lacked a few weeks ago, and I am grateful For them.

“Which song bhabhi?” Anvi Asked

“Whichever you want to” I don't know what she'd like and her taste in music.

“bhabhi Please suggest One na! I can't bring a nice one right now” she winced and I fell silent thinking of a nice song.

“Um--Dandelions? By Ruth B.” I said hesitantly

“Wow bhabhi It's my favourite one. Wait let me put it for us. Do you remember The lyrics?”

“Perfectly!” I said grinning.

“This is going to be fun” she came Back beside Me.

“Wait, we don't have a mic!” She exclaims.

“We can visualise it” I offered as I curled my palm and pretended we were holding mics.

“Nice but How about this?” She says giving me a hairbrush.

“Ok by me!” I said grabbing it.

We danced and sang! She is so sweet when she dances and how beautiful she sings. We just danced More than a couple of songs and sang through our lungs out. We were laughing at our wrong lyrics And mostly blabbering in a few songs. I didn't stop myself from laughing out loud this time.

She laughed so hard when I danced like a robot. I got to know she wants To do a western dance but she didn't know how to. Even though I don't know it, movies and books have taught me a few things.

“Mia also loved to sing Taylor Swift's songs” I said while taking a break.

“Oh a new Swiftie! We should call her for times like this! We three Swifties would bang the night” She suggested and I nodded in unison while laughing.

This is the best leave I have ever taken. Times like these are something I craved for years. I don't have a sister but I guess now this loneliness Is also filled with Anvi.

And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know?
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know that?
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile

I suggest she do as I say! And she was copying me and I again got lost in the tune of the music and danced freely. I was so engrossed in that, that I didn't realise he was standing in the doorstep and while doing a spiraling round and round I ended up Straight in front of him.
