The next day, Reena left the office after working hours to go her hometown. Jitish wanted her to go by his car but she refused. She didn't know how to explain her family about expensive car and driver. Her family knew she couldn't afford the car with her salary that's why it's better to take precautions than act recklessly. She was already living with him. If her family knew she couldn't imagine how her family react. She knew how she let him understand. She felt sometimes it's good to be in relationship but sometimes its headache.
The driver dropped her at bus station. She sat on bus and purchased the ticket to her hometown. It was already 6 pm. the route was 4 hours long that's why she put her backpack which she packed in early morning on her lap. She told Sheela that she wont be in house for two days. Sheela asked her where was she going in case Jitish asked her but Reena told her that he already knew. Reena didn't tell her more. She knew everyone respected her in this house but they didn't like her that's why she didn't like to get close them. If they remembered their position, it's perfect after listening their thoughts last night.
She put her head on backseat to relax. She was tired because of work. Mr kashyap wanted to minimize her workload since when he got to know she was CEO's girlfriend but she refused. She assured old man that CEO wont do anything if he got to know. Because she felt happiness in work. She is not socialist. She likes to spend alone mostly. Only keeping busy gives her mental relief. If she had not work to do, she will go insane. She was tired today because there was a lot of work. She asked Mr Kashyap for going early and as she expected Mr Kashyap didn't refuse. Because Mr Kashyap didn't dare to be in her bad side because of certain one.
As she was dodging off, she woke up by her ringtone. She took out her mobile from her bag. After looking the screen, She attended the call, "Yeah"
She heard Rohit's voice other side, "when will your bus reach?" Rohit would come to pick her from bus station. She hold her phone in her hand and asked conductor, "Bhaiya, when will be reach?"
The conductor replied, "Madam, in half an hour." She nodded and thanked him. After that she answered Rohit. Rohit replied other side, "Ok sis, I will reach at time. Dont go anywhere."
She nodded, "Ok sir." She smiled and cut off the call. Even there was six years age gap between them but she was close to her brother than to her sister who was only 2 years old from her.
Rohit came by bike. When he looked her, he hugged her tightly, "It's long time to see you." Reena hit on his hand and pretended, "leave me... it's hard to take breath."
Rohit didn't leave her but held her tightly, "Now it's fine?"
Now Its really hard for her to take breath. When Rohit noticed her difficulty, he left and laughed. Reena hit him as much as she could but he didn't feel anything. Reena used to this interact that's why she rolled her eyes. Looking at his smile, She smiled.
Rohit took her backpack from her and they started to walk to parking lot. he asked, "So how is going?"
Her heart skipped from its place. Reena didn't want to lie from her family but she couldn't tell them. She could tell her siblings about him but she was not sure how will they react. It's better to hide from them for now. She smiled and said, "Everything is fine. Nothing new. Tell about you."
Rohit looked at her sister carefully. Since her breakup, She had changed. She suddenly left hometown and started to job another city. Everyone in family was against her decision to go another city but they couldn't make her stay. They thought she came back after few months but two years passed and she was living alone. He didn't ask anything else and replied, "As usual. Let's go home."
Reena thought he found something from her tone but it's good he didn't ask further.
They hopped on bike and Rohit started it. Reena sat on bike after many months. She recalled the memories when Rohit dropped her to college or office. It was good memories when they fought but made up soon.
Reena said in excitement, "Its a long time when I sat on bike. Let's take selfie and upload on status."
Rohit agreed because it was also good memory for him. While riding, Reena took selfie with Rohit on bike and upload on her status with excitement that she forgot about certain one.
Rohit and Reena started to talk about recent moments. After few minutes, Her mobile vibrated with notification. As she saw the message, she stunned. How fast can he react?
She looked Rohit who was riding the bike. She thanked God that he didn't see her message.
She deleted the message and put her mobile in her pocket to avoid his message or call.
When she reached at home, her parents and Ramya was waiting for her and Rohit. Reena hugged her family members one by one and said, "I am coming after changing." It was already late for dinner and they were waiting for her. She went to her room and after changing her clothes, she came back. She packed her own clothes in her backpack in morning. She didn't pack any clothes which Jitish arranged for her. They all were limited edition and Ramya had boutique. She can guess exact price of every branded clothes that's why Reena avoided those clothes. Thank god, She put safely her own clothes for emergency.
After dinner, Mr Shukla went to sleep as usual after asking Reena about her wellbeing. Mr Shukla was not strict father but he has his principal which he wants his children follows and nothing else. Mrs Shukla, Ramya, Reena and Rohit sat on living room to talk about what they missed about eachother. They usually talked on phone but rarely met because of their job or busy schedule.
Mrs Shukla asked Reena with worried tone, "Reena, are you fine? You are looking thin."
Reena looked herself with doubt because after moving with Jitish, she started to eat twice. If it's going on like this, she was damn sure, she will get fat soon.
She looked her mother and said, "Mom, I am fine. I think I gained some weight."
This time, Ramya said, "Nah, you have not gained weight. trust on my sight."
Reena knew Ramya took her job seriously that she would not joke about it. After that, they talked about here and there.
Ramya stood up and went to room. She came out with a paper bag and gave to Reena, "Reena, try it. It should be fitted to you but If there is need alternation, I will do it."
Reena understood it was a dress but looking at a party dress. She was confused why Ramya was giving it at night. She looked at Mrs Shukla, Ramya and Rohit one by one but looking at their faces, she understood something was not good.
She waited they told her themselves but noone was ready to open their mouth. Only looking at her with concern. She had doubt because her family reacted like it for only one reason.
She opened her mouth and asked with irritation, "Anybody tell me what's going on here?"
Ramya looked Mrs Shukla and nodded with ensured. After it, She sat besides Reena and said in low voice, "Actually, Vihan and Molly are going to engaged tomorrow."
Reena understood after hearing those cheater names and said with gritted teeth, "That's why you asked me to come here."
This time, Rohit opened his mouth, "Sis, it was not like it. We all actually miss you a lot. Why did you leave your home because of those cheater when they are living in happy?"
Ramya also tried to make her understand, "Yeah Reena, Rohit was saying truth and if you dont attend the party, they will think they win."
Reena has not any feeling for that bastard but she couldn't digested that they made her fool under her nose. If Vihan asked her to break up or told that he likes Molly, her cousin instead of her, she accepts it without any resentment. But he told her lie and they both hid until she didn't find herself. She couldn't accept it.
When Reena didn't say anything but lowered her head, Mrs Shukla thought she was sad because she likes Vihan till now. But they didn't do anything about this matter. Molly's father was Mr Shukla's elder brother. Molly's father Mr Devendra was rich than Mr Shukla. It was a reason why Vihan chose Molly instead of Reena while he was Reena's boyfriend and Reena was the reason they met both but they deceive Reena.
Mrs Shukla said with hurt tone, "Reena, Dont be sad. You will find better husband than him in future."
Reena looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, do you think I will be sad because of that trash? Now, I saw outer this city and met many good persons. I understood I was stupid that I believed on that man. Dont worry I am not sad. It's just that I don't want to meet them."
Ramya said, "But Reena, we are relatives. We have to face them sooner or later."
Reena knew that she was here and she couldn't avoid it. She took deep breath and stood up with the dress, "ok, I am going to try it." She went to her room and locked the door.
Mrs Shukla looked the closed door with concern. Ramya put her hand on her mother's hand, "Mom, it's ok. She will be fine."
Mrs Shukla nodded and hoped while Rohit said, "Mom, I and Ramya di won't leave her side. There will not be problem."
Mrs Shukla stood up and said, "hmmm, it's already late. Let's sleep now. We have to go tomorrow morning there."
Ramya and Rohit also nodded. After Mrs Shukla, Rohit also left to his room before saying to Ramya, "Look her. If you need me, call me." Ramya nodded and he left.
If Ramya was not close to her sister but she understood her very well. Reena was not sad but felt deceived. Why did Vihan choose to her cousin out of so many girls in this city or world and especially Molly? Thier parents didn't know but Ramya knew Molly and Reena were cousin but they didn't like to each other but treated each other like competitors.
Meanwhile, Reena looked herself in mirror with wearing dress. She was looking different. She didn't use makeup and wear fancy dress usually but it was not mean she didn't know. It's just that she felt troublesome that's why she usually wear simple. She felt relax and comfortable with Jitish because he didn't comment on dressing sense while he arranged her clothes according to her preference while with Vihan..... Reena shook her head and asked, "Why am I comparing them?" She and Vihan were in relationship but with Jitish..... She didn't know what was there relationship and what will happen in future? It was better to not have hope so much.
