Chapter 5 : For Shubman, eh?

Song : Just hold on ~ Louis Tomlinson

"Jhans" Rudra calls me from downstairs " Ankita Has come .
I check the time and it's 7:30 pm.

Okay, I finished only 3 topics in the last hour. Physics is ruining my life and I'm contemplating changing my subjects. Nah, Dad always wanted me to be a doctor.

I move downstairs and meet Ankita didi and her husband and Their precious little baby.

"She's so cute" I say touching the little baby's cheeks.

"Yes and she's maasi's jaan." (Maternal aunt's lifeline) Shreya exclaims.

She's so happy.

Everyone is busy enjoying and talking and laughing, while Rudra sits alone in a corner, eyes glued to his phone.

"Rudra Qu'est ce que c'est" what's it?

"Pourquoi es tu assis seul? Venez ici"
Why're you sitting alone? Come here.

"Jhanvi, Je Vais bien." Jhanvi I'm fine. "Don't give me you concerned look."

I look at him again, sternly and he comes.

He makes small talk with our cousin brother-in- law. Then he plays a little with baby Inaaya, before retiring back to his room.

I follow him.

"Rudra talk to me." I tell him.

"Jhans I'm okay" he places his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm not convinced. You act so distant and I'm starting to get worried" I tell him

"ne t'inquiète pas, grande sœur. He suits bien"
Don't worry, big sis. I'm fine.

"Not convinced." I say again.

"Let's watch a movie okay?"

"We can't. Everyone's downstairs. They're family Rudra."

"Jhans you're my only family."

"What do you mean"

"I don't feel like at home. There's this piece of my heart that's missing. I don't know if it makes sense But I don't feel like they're family you know"

"It makes sense Rudra. I feel like it too sometimes but try to understand how lucky we are that we have them"

" Je t'aime Jhans" I love you, Jhans. Thanks for being the best sister ever.

"Et tu es le meilleur frère"and you're the best brother. I smile at him and go back downstairs. Rudra will feel fine after he gets accustomed to here.

After dinner, I go to sleep quickly because I have to wake up early for the class trip.

***

It's 6:00 am and I swear I have never been up this early.

Well, maybe a few times. But not when it wasn't absolutely necessary.

Today it is.

I wasn't able to sleep all night. I just kept thinking about how Shubman came here yesterday. And he's going to pick me up today.

Very very involuntarily I am taking extra effort to get ready today.

After shower, I did my very extended skin-care routine and then my makeup. A bit more than usual, might I add.
