In India.
Vaidehi stood at her still near her door as she saw the scene unfold in front of her.
Her father stood with her favourite box of chocolates and was about to scroll through her laptop whilst munching on the chocolate.
Her brain stopped working for a millisecond as she realized that, she forgot to close the mail.
The packet of chocolates that was on his hand fell with a thud and he moved back started. Suddenly, her brain realises that, he will see the mail that she got from LD fashions and with that though , she made a run toward the laptop.
So, her sloth like brain came up with the best idea and she made a run toward him and jumped in front of him like a cat.
Startled, he quickly threw the box on her bed and took a step back in defence.
" What are you doing here papa? (father) " Vaidehi narrowed her eyes and looked at him in suspicion.
He father–Kishore laugh nervously ,"I– I was here to–to ask about mum yeah.. I was her to ask about your interview."
Vaidehi's eye widen at the mention of the word interview.
"So, tell me how did it go? Did you get any reply from them? " Her father asked curiously.
"Yes! It went well. And results wel–" Vaidehi words were cutoff but a assuring part on her head by her father.
"I know you will tell me as soon as you get to know about it. After all I am your the most favorite. Well not most but at least second favorite. First one is obviously your grandpa." He said the first happily but ended with a lip tight smile as if he was jealous.
Vaidehi chuckled but felt extremely bad for not telling about this news–of her getting of her getting selected to work for LD Fashions in New York.
Her bright face instantly fallen at the thought of hiding such a big news from her father. The one whom she loves the most after her dadu(grand father) Well not just her father but from everyone. But she also knew that this isn't the right time to reveal such a big thing to her extremely over protective family.
She need a nice solid plan to make them agree to this.
She sigh as she realized the blunder that she did back in dadu.(grandfathers room) She now have bribe those two devils with extra food and chocolates to support her.
She made a face thinking that and light tap on her head bough her out of her reverie.
"Whom are you planning to kill in your mind, eh? " Her father joked.
"No one!No one ,papa."
"Okay, if you say so. I came her to tell you that. Don't worry whatever results might be but we will always be there for you. If not there try somewhere else ,okay? " Her father put his hand on head and smiled at her warmly.
Vaidehi felt lump form her throat. She hate's crying so she quickly hugged her father tight and hide her face on his chest.
"Hey, my bacha(kiddo) don't cry. You are my strong girl." He said cocooning her in his arm.
"Who is crying? I never cry!" Vaidehi's voice shook as she press her face and tried to wipe tears in her father shirt, still hugging him tightly.
He laughed and said, "You used to do the same when you were a little girl with running nose. You have grown up so quick." He felt emotional as he patted Vaidehi head with one hand and from other wipes a traitor tear that escaped from his eyes.
"I will miss you, Papa. " Vaidehi whispered and almost started crying at the thought of staying away from her lovely but weird family.
"Is it even right to go there? " she thought to herself.
But that sane part of her mind kept tell her that it's the right to do. This is a once in a life time opportunity and she won't get it again.
Breaking the hug she smiled weakly at her father who in return keep a hand on her head and kissed her forehead and walked away with a smile.
Suddenly she felt that a strange turmoil –Whether to go or not?
She saw herself in the mirror and she saw a girl who want to work, wants to experience things on her own.
"What did you just do back there Miss, Vaidehi Aggarwal!?" Vansh and Sanvi both entered and slammed the door shut.
Vaidehi, who was still looking at the mirror , jumped and almost fell on bed startled.
She glared and both of them.
But they stood still seeing her slightly red eyes.
"What happened, Vaidu ? Did you cry? " Vansh can and stood in front of her curiously.
"Vaidu di and crying? That sounds pig flying! Which is totally not possible." Sanvi said in a teasing tone but Vansh's glare shut her mouth but looking at Vaidehi, she knew that she definitely cried.
"Tell us ,Vaidu. Tell us what happened?" He side hug her and ask us in a soft voice.
"It's nothing guys. I am fine." She said with a weak smile.
"You better start spilling it out before I go and eat your favorite chocolate. Do you want me to do that? " Sanvi stood with hands on hips as she tried to threaten Vaidehi.
"Eat it. But don't forget the consequences that will come your way." Vansh said to Sanvi teasingly this time, to lighten Vaidehi mood.
But she again gave a smile that didn't reached her eyes.
"Is it about what happened in grandpa's room? We really don't mind Vaidehi, why are you thinking like that? What happened to you?" Vansh said in a serious tone but seeing tears shine in Vaidehi eyes he instantly knew that it was something more.
Even Sanvi was stunned for a second but she quickly went near her and hug her tightly and soon joined by Vansh.
"How am I going to leave there without you guys? " Vaidehi voice trembled as she hugged both of them more tightly.
"Hey, hey, look at me." Vansh broke the group hug and took hold of her hand and made her sit down, he eyed Sanvi to bring a glass of water, which she bought quickly and gave to Vaidehi.
"I can live without you guys. How will I do all of it? " Vaidehi said and looked at both of them with a soft smile.
"I have never seen you like this ,Vaidu di(sister). Why are being negative about it suddenly? Do think that way. You will do awesome. " Sanvi tried to cheer her up.
"Vaidehi you are a strong girl. And it's not like you are going there forever. We will make them understand don't worry. And don't feel bad, we won't leave your side even if you want us to. This is once in a life time opportunity when you, my little sister totally deserve it." Vansh said with an assuring smile and side hug her followed by Sanvi.
"Now don't think much and leave it on us, we will come up with some perfect plan. " Sanvi cheered and bought a packet of chocolate and divided it and popped it in Vaidehi mouth.
"What is the next plan? What's cooking on that almost empty brain of yours?" Vansh smirk said while munching on the chocolate.
"Yes, what's cooking?" Vaidehi asked with a curious look.
"Buttering 'em with kindness." Sanvi smirked and replied.
