After packing her clothes and stuffs, it's small bag. She told driver to park the car outside the colony. She didn't want any neighbour suspect as they told her mother. When she took out her bag, there was a neighbour lady stood outside her house. When that lady saw Bhavika, she asked with concern, "Bhavika."
She looked at neighbour aunty, "Aunty"
That lady asked, "Where are your mother and you? we didn't see both of you. Doctor told your mother is seriously ill. How is she? we didn't have your any contact number that's why we didn't call you."
Bhavika smiled lightly, "She was operated few days ago but she is fine now. I shifted into hostel that's why I didn't come back. I came back to take my stuffs today. Aunty can you help me?"
She said confidentially, "ofcourse bhavika tell us. I am sorry we couldn't help you before. you say."
Bhavika told, "Aunty, please take care my mom behind me. I have to live in hostel. that's why help me to take care of her."
that lady smiled, "Don't worry Bhavika. we will take your mother. After all, she is our neighbour." She thought and asked, "Bhavika, a boy named Raj came to ask for me. Is he your boyfriend?"
Bhavika remembered, "No aunty, he is my classmate. He is not good in study that's why he asks notes to me. May be, he came for asking notes. what did he say?"
Aunty said, "ohh... he is asking for your number when we told him your mother is in hospital."
Bhavika said, "ok aunty. he might he concern."
that lady said with full smile, "He is so handsome."
Bhavika pursed her lips and didn't say anything. After talking, she left. that lady thought, 'didnt bhavika wear branded clothes? how did she afford? may be, it's fake. but didn't doctor tell her uncle is rich who paid the medical fees for her mother. May be, her uncle started to help mother and daughter. It's good. they suffered a lot in past. now they can leave in peace.'
When bhavika came with her bag, Anil looked and immediately raised his hand to take her bag, "Madam, please give me. it's my duty."
Bhavika was in good mood that's why she smiled, "I am fine. I have habit it." Anil saw first time her to smile. He advised, "madam, you look good when you smile."
Bhavika nodded. When Bhavika reached at apartment, it's already evening. She forgot to eat because of excitement. When Santa mentioned, "Madam are you hungry? may I cook for you?" Bhavika remembered she is hungry.
She shook her head with smile, "No... anything is fine for me."
Santa smiled and served the food to her. She asked, "Madam, you are looking happy today."
She nodded, "Yeah... today I met to my mother. She is fine now. After three days, she will be discharged. and I am going to attend college tomorrow."
first time, Bhavika talked with her that much. Santa was glad to see her happy.
After eating, Santa helped Bhavika to arrange her stuffs which she took from her home.
At night, Nick reported Vijay about Bhavika. When he mentioned that Bhavika took her old clothes from her home, Vijay asked with raising his eyebrows, "Didn't you buy her enough clothes? why did she take old clothes?" He saw himself many dresses into her closet. Even, she didn't touch them till yet.
Nick was also confused but it's normal to take her to old clothes. but rich peoples can't understand that's why he didn't say anything.
Vijay ordered, "order more clothes for her but this time according to her preference. Tell Santa, She will ask her choices in clothes."
Nick nodded and left. Vijay laid on sofa with bad mood. He didn't see his girl since few hours and he already missed her so much. how will he spend whole week without her? May be, coming in another city was wrong decision. He couldn't touch her but atleast, he could see her and tease her little.
But he had to do important work which he already delayed so much. As he was thinking, his mobile rang. he thought it's his girl who called him but when he saw screen. he frowned. He already guessed why his grandpa was calling him.
he attended the call and asked, "What? grandpa."
Elder Rathore scolded him, "Vijay, where is your manner? I am your grandpa. shouldn't you talk with me polielty?"
Vijay made his face, "Grandpa, didn't I call you grandpa? By the way, why did you call me? I am busy."
Elder Rathore got angry with him but he knew him very well that's why he asked directly, "Who is that girl? How didn't I know you are with any girl?"
Vijay frowned, "that busybody told you already. Grandpa, you didn't need to concern. it's my life. let me live according to me. If I lose in business, you can ask me anything. I am hanging up now. I am busy."
Elder Rathore warned, "Don't hang up on me. why are you hiding her from me? Aditya told she is so young. is she not adult?"
Vijay gritted his teeth, "no, She is adult. it's not right time to tell you. When it is, I will come with her. so now, I can hang up."
Elder Rathore ordered, "Take her tomorrow morning to meet me. I want to meet her. I don't want you repeat your father mistake."
Vijay almost lost his temper, "Grandpa, I am not my father. don't compare me with him. by the way, I am out of station for business. I will talk you later."
After hung up, Vijay threw his mobile a side and took deep breath to calm down. He was really angry and he needed to vent his anger.
He thought who offended him recently. he forgot a person. his lips curled and he dialled number, "Nick, I heard there is a party in city and Mr Singh is also attended the party."
"Yes sir" Nick responded immediately. he has to update because of his demanding boss. Especially, he gave order to do before some time ago and work wouldn't complete.
Vijay smiled, "Good... prepare the project paper and arrange the formality to attend me party."
Nick didn't understand why his boss is behind Mr Singh. weren't they rival? why did Mr Singh shake hand with his boss and more over, his boss didn't need to shake hand with Mr Singh. then what did he want to do? forget it. he will get to know soon. he told, "ok sir."
At night, After dinner, Bhavika did study. she already missed her study since one month. that's why she had to do work hard to maintain her grade for upcoming exams. After study, she slept soundly because there was nobody to torture her. She knew her whole week was going to smoothly.
Santa stayed at night because Vijay didn't want Bhavika would live alone in his absence.
the following day, Bhavika woke up with good spirit. She was going to college today that's why she was happy. it's not she likes to study but it's her mother dream that's why she wants it from her heart.
She worn jeans and top for college. She choose sports shoes. After tied her hairs into pont tail and did light make up. She looked herself into mirror. She looked fine. She took her bagpack and ate light breakfast. and left for college.
After reaching college, She took deep breath because she came after one month that's why she was not feeling easy. When she went into her class, her classmates looked at her and surrounding to her.
one of classmate asked, "Bhavika, we heard your mother is in hospital. How is she?"
She said, "she is fine." one by one asked to her. She gave response. When the teacher came, everyone sat on her seat. her teacher asked also asked about her mother. Bhavika was brilliant student that's why her teachers also like her. After class, She rushed behind her teacher when her teacher left the class. Bhavika called, "Mam..."
her teacher stopped and turned back, "yeah Bhavika..."
Bhavika gupled her saliva. She didn't lie into her whole life but she had to lie to cover herself, "Mam... actually, you knew my mother's health condition. my uncle paid medical expenses but we have earn our living hood. and my mother couldn't continue her job that's why I am doing job. and I can't tell my mother otherwise she would be worried that's why I told them that I am staying in hostel. please cover up for me in front of my mother."
Her teacher asked with concern, "If you do job, will not it effect on your study? I know it's hard for you but Bhavika. After one year, you will be graduated. if your grades better, you can get better job."
She smiled, "Don't worry mam. I will work hard and try to maintain my grades."
Her teacher patted on her shoulder, "Fine. don't worry. I will talk to principal about you. There will not be problem for you from our staffs. after all, you are brilliant student and every teacher likes you."
Bhavika thanked her, "Thanks mam."
her teacher nodded and left.
