Bhavya's POV

I was getting ready for my day, sitting in front of the mirror humming to myself.

"Bhavi naashta ready hai.

(Breakfast is ready.)

"Aayi."

(Coming.)

 I heard my mother shout from the dinning room and I shout back.

Quickly tying my hair in a ponytail I rush to the dinning room.

Mumma and papa are already sitting and having their food. I smile and wish them good morning and have my breakfast.

After breakfast, I go to my room and take my bag and stuff and rush out again.

"Mumma mai jaa rhi hu. Bye."

(I am leaving.)

I say while running outside. I am a little late today.

"Thik hai. Dhyan se jaana. Aur pahuch ke call kr dena. Lunch time par kar lena."

(Ok. Be careful. And call when you reach. Have lunch on time.)

She shouts from behind and I shout an 'OK' back.

My parents are the sweetest people. 

Papa works in a company as a Finance Manager. Mumma is a housewife.

Oh! I didn't introduce myself. My name is Bhavya Sharma.

I am a trained classical dancer and I run my own dance school.

It had been around 3 years that I started this school.

Dance has been my passion since forever. I enjoy dancing and teaching kids the things I learnt.

I found a rickshaw and go to the metro station. 

I have to travel half an hour to reach the school.

I enter the metro and thankfully I find a seat.

I sit down quickly and message my students that I will be a little late today.

Rudra's POV

I reach Delhi and sigh in relief.

I know it won't be long until my family finds me.

I am tired of the same rich and lavish life. Papa won't let me do anything that I want to on my own.

He still thinks I am a kid.

And I want to prove him wrong. I want to prove that I can do something on my own.

I had applied for a job in and MNC for the post of Programme Designer.

I book a cab to the apartment I would be living in.

The owner is a sweet lady. I got her number from a friend. She was looking for a tenant and I wanted to place to stay.

I reached the place and looked around.

The locality seemed nice and the building also looked nice from outside.

I check the address again and take my stuff out of the cab.

I pay the driver and sigh.

Welcome to a new life Rudra.

I take my stuff and move to the apartment mentioned in the address.

Damn! It is on the 3rd floor. Its not like I have any problem with climbing three floors but with so much luggage it gets difficult.

"Kaha jaana hai aapko?"

(Where do you want to go?)

I heard a voice and turned. It was a man of around my father's age.

"Ji wo Mrs. Kharbanda.."

"Achha! Aap unke new tenant honge."

(Oh. You must be the new tenant.)

I nodded and he smiled warmly.

"Hum aapke pados wali building mai rehte hai."

(We live in the building beside yours.)

He said and that's when I noticed a lady behind him. Must be his wife. I somehow joined my hands in a namaste with the luggage in my hands.

He took one of my bags and said.

"Hum Mrs. Kharbanda se milne hi jaa rhe hai. Let me help."

(We are going to meet Mrs. Kharbanda.)

"Arre nhi uncle its fine. Please aap rehne dijiye."

(You please don't.)

"Ye mujhe kamzor samajh rha hai. Bataiye inhe zara."

(He is thinking I am weak. Tell him.)

He said jokingly to the lady and she mock glared at him.

They are so sweet.

He helped me even after me trying to talk against it.

At the end I had to keep quite and we walked to the apartment.

Mrs. Kharbanda was leaving the city to go live with her son.

So I would have the apartment to me.

I kept my stuff and Sumitra aunty, the lady with that man helped me. His name is Ashok. The two are very sweet.

Bhavya's POV

I reached the dance school and touched the first stair of it as an habit.

This is my workplace, my worship place for me.

I greeted the students and we started the routine.

After an hour we took a break of five minutes and then I taught them a few new things.

After this batch two more batches were there.

I got freed at around 5. I finally sit down and take a deep breath.

I have my food because I know if I take my lunch back as it is my mother is going to give me a long lecture.

After that I take my stuff and lock the place. I give the keys to the neighbour uncle. He is a man in his 60s and he opens his shop early in the morning.

I take a rickshaw and go to the metro station.

Since it is peak hours now the metro resembles a local train.

Literally, so many people.

I finally reach my house and take a deep breath.

I don't know why but I feel very tired today.

I go home and directly go to my room and slump down on my bed.

I didn't realise when I fell asleep.

Rudra's POV

We were sitting in my new apartment and talking to Sumitra aunty and Ashok uncle.

"Tumhari family mai kaun kaun hai beta?"

(Who all are there in your family beta?)

Aunty asks me. I smile and answer her.

"Mummy papa bhaiya bhabhi and in a few months another little member."

They too smile and aunty says.

"Toh yaha abhi akele ho?"

(So you are here alone?)

I nod and she says.

"Toh phir khaane peene ke kaise kroge? Khaana banana aata hai?"

(Then how will you manage your food? Do you know cooking?)

I shook my head sheepishly and said.

"Swiggy zomato."

She gives me a 'really' look and turns to uncle. He shrugs his shoulder and she practically orders me.

"Koi swiggy zomato nhi. Bagal mai hi rehte hai hum. Ghar aa jaaya karna."

(No swiggy zomato. We are literally neighbours. Come home.)

I shook my head and start to say.

"Nhi aunty iss ki koi zarurat nhi hai-"

(No aunty there is no need-)

"Arre aise kaise. Mrs. Kharbanda ke guest ho tum. Aur waise bhi roz roz bahar ka khana nhi khaana chahiye."

(How come. And moreover you should not eat junk daily.)

I opened my mouth again but she raised her eyebrows and I kept mum.

She is literally my mother's twin.

She smiled and said that they would wait for me on dinner tonight.

Then they left saying that their daughter would be back home.

I smiled and they left.

I sighed looking at my apartment with a smile.

Nice apartment, nice locality, and nice neighbours.

What else could I want?

I slump down on the bed to take a short nap. 

As I laid down I realised how tired I was.

I woke up hearing the sound of my alarm.

Ahh! Its two hours already.

I got up and freshened up to go to aunty uncle's house.

They invited me with so much love. It would be rude to not go.
