Third person pov :
Two weeks have past.....
Dhruv and maira both were sitting in the cafe, hearing the audio, trying to find more about Maya.
' she is really bold and elegant, not like me. She is modern and well- mannered not like me. I am so insecure now. She is beautiful just like a model. '
Dhruv frowned at his mom words. He didn't like a bit she said.
She is comparing herself to someone else.
Maira opened her mouth to say but cut off by Dhrisha who was coming towards them.
"Hey guys, what's happening? " Dhrisha asked.
Dhruv quickly turned off the recording and nervously smile at her.
"You both came here leaving me behind" Dhrisha said with a pout.
"No dhrisha you were with Abhinay so we came here, we thought, we shouldn't disturb your moment " Dhruv said.
Dhrisha blushed and shook her head.
"You should call me atleast" Dhrisha said.
"We were about to call" Maira was cut off by the waiter.
"Here is your coffee ma'am and sir" Waiter said.
They smiled at him, he looked at dhrisha.
"Ma'am you need anything " He asked.
She denied politely and he went.
She saw their mugs, it had half hearts, she looked at both.
"Wait! Don't tell me you both were in the middle of a date and I came in middle! "Dhrisha said glancing at them.
Dhruv frowned but Maira felt hesitated.
"It's nothing like that!" He protested.
This time maira frowned at him.
"Really? " she asked, he nodded.
"OK then, I thought you both were on a date " she said looking at Maira.
Maira shook her head and whispered.
"I didn't confessed till now and he is dense to see my feelings, so just leave the idea of date aside. "
Dhrisha giggled hearing this. Dhruv frowned again seeing the girls whispering.
"Whatever you want to talk, say loudly I want to hear it too. " Dhruv whined
Both girls giggled hearing his whining.
"It's girl talk you won't understand " Dhrisha said and maira nodded.
Dhruv pouted and stood up from his seat.
"Fine Talk! I am going out" he said and went huffing.
"Dhruv! " Maira called him.
He walked out. Dhrisha called him.
"Dhruv! "
"He is angry now." Dhrisha said.
Maira sighed and looked at dhrisha .
They both looked at each other and started laughing.
---------------------------------
Dhruv pov:
I walked out with a pout.
"Girls talk " I said and huffed.
Only girl can talk and what they talk about that, they can't share with me.
I don't understand girls sometimes!
I sighed and I didn't know that I came this far. I glanced up and there it was, I came here with my family.
This market I can never forget that.
I walked inside the market there were so many stores.
I glanced here and there, my eyes fell on the photo studio. I walked towards it. This place held a bitter memories.
I was twelve years old, we were here to click a family photo. I was looking at mom, she was wearing a white Saree with a golden border. I glanced at mom, she was waiting there.
"Ma'am should we click your pictures? " The photographer asked.
"Actually my husband is not here now, he will come soon" Mom said.
He nodded.
After 1 hour he came again.
"Where is your husband ma'am? " He asked.
I glanced at mom, she was nervous.
"He must be in his way" she said and he sighed and went.
Mom was worried, dad told her to wait in photo studio, but he didn't came she tried his phone but it was not. reachable. I squeeze her shoulder
After waiting for one more hour, The photographer came again. She sighed in frustration and asked him to click only our pictures.
So I smiled but mom faked smile.
we went back home, after clicking the pictures.
At the same night, I was playing video games in VR.
I heard some noises so I left my game, and went to check.
I saw from the stairs, dad was coming inside, He was drunk.
"Abhi," she tried to hold him but he pushed her.
She dismissed the servants and they went.
Mom was frustrated.
"Why you didn't came Abhi? " She asked, walking towards him.
Dad ignored her.
"Abhi answer me" She said grabbing his arm. He jerked her hand.
"Don't ever try to touch me with your filthy hands" he said harshly .
I could see tears in her eyes.
"What is my fault! Why are you behaving like this! " She asked.
She grabbed his both hands.
"What did I do? If you didn't wanted to click family pictures then why, why did you left me there! " She said shaking him.
He scoffed.
"You should go and click family pictures with your Lover Dhrisha "
I closed my eyes, I never like to see my parents fighting.
"Abhi! What are you saying? I never loved anyone else except you! " She raised her voice. He didn't say anything. She grabbed his collar.
"I was waiting there for you, you told us we will click our family photo for our son 12th birthday, you destroyed the gift Abhi! He is a child... He was waiting for you...he had so much hope! He wanted to click a family photo together! Together Abhi !! " She shouted.
Slap!
I opened my eyes to see mom on the floor holding her cheek.
"Don't ever raise your voice at me" he said and ran his fingers through his hair.
He slapped mom?! I ran towards her.
"Mom! "
"Dhruv go to your room " Dad said. I shook my head in no.
"I said Dhruv, fucking go inside your room, dammit " He shouted.
I flinched from his sound.
"Dhruv go inside your room, it's husband and wife matter we will solve it! " Mom said. I shook my head.
"please " She said and I walked inside my room.
After that I only heard some things breaking, few curses and mom and dad shouting.
It was a horrible memory, I never like it. It was too much for a teen.
I moved forward and saw a perfume shop.
"Abhi, what do you think about this perfume? " mom asked.
"Put it on yourself, try it " Dad said.
Mom sprayed the perfume on her neck and wrist.
She smelled it, "It smells nice"
"Really let me smell it too" Dad said and he encircled his around her stomach. Her back was touching her front. He smelled her neck, she giggled.
"it really smell good, feels like heaven " Dad said inhaling her fragnance.
"Excuse me dad but A kid is sitting here, maintain your distance with my mom" A 10 years old boy said.
He rolled his eyes at him and she giggled.
"Wow son, thank you for ruining our moments " He said sarcastically.
"Your welcome dad " the boy mocked with a smile.
He huffed and dhrisha laughed.
"He is your son Abhi " she said.
"But still he is a mommy boy" Dad said.
The boy ran to his mom and she hugged him.
That was the sweet moment we had last time. I sighed.
Ring!!!
I saw a unknown number
I picked it up!
"Hello? "
"It's me " A cold voice said.
" I don't know any it's me, wrong number" I said.
I heard a groan.
" It's Avyaan Singh Rathore "
Oh Shit!!!
"Sorry I didn't recognize your voice "
"It's ok" He said coldly.
He should be in South Pole for his cold speaking!
"How is she? " he asked.
I raised a eyebrow but remember the deal.
"She is good and healthy " I said, he sighed.
"Where is she now? " He asked.
"With my friend maira in the cafe." I said as a fact.
" And where are you?" He asked
"I am nearby, in a market" I said.
" What are you doing there? " He asked again.
I glanced at the photo studio.
"Just refreshing some old memories"
"You sounds low " He said.
I blinked my eyes twice.
Is is asking about me?
"No, I just remembered my family " I said and sighed.
" Do you miss them? "
"A lot" I said and smiled at the happy moments we spent.
"So why don't you go and meet them? " He asked again.
My smile dropped, I can't meet them!
"Actually my mom and dad divorced each other when I was seventeen" I said.
"You can meet them separately " He said.
"I can't! My mother is in hospital suffering a panic stroke. My dad won't let me meet her," I said.
"I will talk to him " he said and chuckled.
I didn't know in these days we became this much of friends. But he told me yesterday that he gave me permission to be his friend.
"You can't talk to them" I said and gulped.
"You live in Mumbai Right, I can talk to them" He said.
Oh.... No!
If he gets to know I actually don't live there, he will get suspicious.
"I meant she is not here in India that you can meet him, she is out of India " I said.
"For health ? " I hummed.
" Is there anyone with her for her support? "
I wanted to say you!
You were always there to support me and Mom in our hard times.
"Yes she has her best friend " I said and he hummed.
"Don't worry everything will be alright " He said.
"Trust me everything will be alright soon! "
He said same thing in future.
I chuckled.
"What happened " He asked with a frown.
"Anything else Mr.Avyaan?" I asked.
"Yes, last thing, I got some information about her, after one week I will send you the information " He said.
I nodded.
"Dhruv? " He asked.
I forgot he can't see me nodding "
I mentally face palmed myself.
"I mean yes"
"OK, Take good care of her and tell me everything what she does " He said sternly.
"Aye aye captain!" I said.
I heard a chuckle and I grinned.
"Don't take tension about your parents " He said. I smiled internally
"Bye boss" I said he hanged up his call.
He likes to hang up call on others.
I walked back to the cafe. I was watching YouTube shorts , my shoulder bumbed into someone shoulder.
"Sorry! " I heard a feminine voice .
"It's ok" I said to the girl who was wearing a mask and had hazel eyes.
She nodded and walked away and I went in my way to cafe.
