(Narrator's POV)
Black clouds of tension and drama were on kal Krishna resident as his aunt drank water staring at him and his little girlfriend Radhalaxmi.
He wasn't sure what will happen next second, his heartbeat was growing lowder and faster.He can blood flowing through his veins.
Radhalaxmi who was also feeling nervous slowly grabbed back of his shirt to get his attention.What can she do? She just came to check on him because he was absent.
If she had known he was picking his aunt today, neither she wouldn't have come nor she would be in this mess.
"A-Aunt"Kal called her his tone carrying nervousness and the politeness.
"Hmm?"She gave them a eye, which made both couple a little more nervous.
"Can we sit?"Kal asked.
"Hmm"She looked back at her tablet, scrolling through it for some more minute before ordering them in a low tone.
"Coffee"
"Unh?"Kal unable to hear what his aunt said moved a little towards her.
His right hand holding the softness Radha's palm inside it, tightly enclosed.Giving both of them little comfort and fearless approach towards Kal aunt.
She was carrying aura of the evil mother in law of soap operas.But little they knew about her that maybe she was here some other intention.
"Is that how our family tought to welcome guest Krishna? Didn't you hear me saying Coffe?"She gave earful to his nephew, her eyes not even lifting from her tablet.
"Oh okay"He tried to stood.
"No not you.You miss,"His Aunt looked at her for first time in whole conversation.
Radhalaxmi hesitated, she clasped her hand freeing it from Kal's grip of comfort.
"T-Thank-Thank you for giving me this opp-opportunity."
She left in hurry, her steps forwarding with fear of losing.
Kal's aunt didn't look up for some more seconds, engaged in her work with tablet.
"You are doing the job I specifically asked you not to do."
Kal looked at her, she still was playing with tablet.His curiosity got picked, his voice came polite and respectful towards her.
"What did I do?"He asked.
This time she put down her tablet before giving him eye.This boy hasn't changed even a bit in past month.He was still of full of himself not trying to use his memory or mind.
"Have you forgotten kal?"She asked him back, her tone authoritative.
"No, I haven't !The think is you have told me many thing that I can't do."He smiled."Now, I can't process where did I made mistake."
"Are your ears got defective after dating some girl?"She adjust herself more on sofa like a evil queen of a empire.
"I said Job."Her pitch of tone was high enough for kal to hear and understand that she was angry.
"You were told not to pick fight on your own, but you... little bastard!"She gritted.
"Sorry aunt!"
"What sorry? You killed two person with that rascal friend of yours and to hide it you joined Allies.Do you think I am mad?"
Kal didn't say anything her eyes fixated on ground. "Sorry aunt!"
"I am helping you study here.Remember I agreed to send you here because you promised me to not create facçade here.Yo—"
"Aunty yo...ur..... coffee is ready"Radha came with a tray in her hands with just a cup of coffee on it.
She placed it in front of her, and sat down beside kal just like before.But this time she sensed a changed environment.
"What does your parents do?"Kal's aunt asked Radha.
Radha eyes widened, her eyes filled an unreadable emotions.
She has always wanted to live more with her parents but more she remembered the dark past more she lost herself.She didn't wanted to remind herself to not look at her past everytime someone asked her about her parents.
But little she knew that every human behave same, she smiled giving her best to not remember those dark memory.
Her smile surpressed her emotions, hiding those beautiful misty eyes which Kal has captured after his aunt had asked her.He wanted to hold her in his warm.
But he can't, his aunt was angry on him.One wrong step can put him in dis advantage.He slowly and quietly rubbed back of his hand.
It gave her little confidence before she answered her questions.
"I am orphan"She gave a beautiful smile resembling broken moon."My parents died"
She didn't explain further or she didn't wanted to, because she was ashamed of it.If she can't love Bittu because of her aunt denying her.
Then she would keep it secret from whole world, even bittu.
"Sorry! I didn't knew"Kal's aunt showed a little pity in her voice before changing topic in her authoritative tone."Let's change topic, let me ask you some other question."
"Okay!"Radha nodded.
"Can you coo—"
'ding'
'ding'
Before she can complete her question, a message popped on kal's phone disturbing everyone.
Both woman looked at her, one because she was disturbed when she was interrogating someone and second because she thought it would be her saviour.
Radha prayed for it, her toe finger crossed beneath table which was not noticed by everyone.
Kal took out his phone slowly as he handled their stare by giving a awkward smile to them.
"It's a text"He said.
He looked at down at his phone, reads it carefully.His eyes got narrowed as he reads it one more time this time more carefully.
"Sorry! But I have to go"He stood hastily, a urgency framed in his voice.
"Where?"Radha asked.
"It's an emergency"Kal answered.
"Aunt I am leaving her in your care"He walked towards door."please take care of her"
His aunt who wanted to shout him but controlled herself, she watched kal lefting fastly.
"You can also go if you want."His Aunt spoke.
"Can I?"She asked, it was really good for heart.
"Yes! you can,"
"Thanks,"
It was relief for her, her blood pressure and heartbeat had gone insane because of her nervousness.She was happy that she can leave, she gave his aunt a sweet Goodby before leaving same as kal.
