Lost Wife by pokhila (love story novels in english .txt) 📗

        " Wow , your house looks so different , its  more cozy than the last time , I love the new sitting arrangements too  " Panchi  was looking around the drawing room and sat down in one of the comfy armchair in the far end of the room , giving thumsup to Anirudh .

               Anirudh felt  proud , if his sister liked it ....she will like it too after all girls ........

   The other two guys just smiled , they have no idea what look so different to their sister .

    They all sat down , but Anirudh was still looking towards the door ....

          " Are  you having other guests too ?"  Panchi asked him , as he was constantly looking to the main door .

        "  Um , where are the others , masi ma and all .....?" Anirudh can't hold it anymore .

         "  Mom will come to pick us and have lunch late , dad stayed back with Chhaya at home ." Neel said 

           The domestic helper brought some refreshments for the guests .

         " What do you mean .....Chaaya ...what happened to her ?" Anirudh felt his heart  heavy , 

    "  Actually we all got ready to come , even dad .....but while climbing down the stairs Chhaya missed one step she fell down the rest of stairs ,and  sprained her leg , she can't even walk , Mom  gave her medicine for pain but the swelling was really scary , she will have to take rest for a long time ,"

           All his hopes .........crashed  in a minute ......

            Anirudh ,  didn't show any disappintment , after all they came to this place after a long time , main reason to build a big home was he wanted all of them to come here frequently and have a great time with him and his wife after their marriage , one single mistake and all his dreams were shattered , now only regret and regrets only .

               Today  he can feel the pain , penetrating more deep into his heart , it was the taste of his own bitter medicine .

       All four of them had great time , Neel and Sumit  couldn't get enough of PS 4 , Panchi was eating and chatting nonstop about all the things , the sweet and savoury street food was a liked by all . 

       Sumit  was eating the spicy dhokla , he mentioned that Chhaya missed her favourite street foods , Anirudh said he will sent her some with them . The siblings always take care of ones likes and dislikes they share each and everything specially ones favourite food .

             Mrs Roy said the lunch was ready , but they ate too much spicy treats so they declined and said they will wait for Anjali (mom),and will have a late lunch .

        Anjali arrived with Philip , all of them sat at the dinning , 

     "  Where is Arunima's younger sister ? " Anjali asked Anirudh .......

      " I think in her room , " Anirudh avoided all their gaze ......

    The three siblings were surprised to know that there was another soul present in the house and they didn't even see her , where was she ? 

         Anjali  asked Mrs Roy to bring Anu for lunch , the house keeper looked towards her owner for a response , he looked at her and nodded .

     Sumit was first to see her , Anu was not fair like Arunima , but her dusky skin was flawless , she was wearing a grey colour sleeveless salwar , the net chunni covered her bare arms .

       Sumit was constantly staring at her , Panchi kicked him under the table , only then he closed his open mouth and looked at his naughty sister showing her big eyes and laughing .

           Anjali let her sit beside her and her seat was face to face with Sumit .

           She talked very less and replied in short whatever was asked .

          Panchi talked about all the topics a girl usually talk but found their liked didn't match and she didn't even complete her high school  .

             After  a late  lunch  they had late tea ,it was made by Anu , they always prefer coffee but Anu was not aware of it , she made masala tea with ginger and cardamom. Neel Panchi  and Sumit never drink tea ,it was their first time and all of them praised Anu , she felt happy  after a long time .

          Anirudh don't like milk in tea , Runi knows it , he loves green tea in early morning and other than that either lemon or tulsi flavoured tea only . Runi accidently  asked about it in one of the phone calls before wedding  .

        Anirudh  took out his car along with them , a number of food boxes were placed neatly with spoons and paper plates at the back seat . He must see her or he will go crazy ..........

                      Chhaya heard the cars stop at the driveway , Panchi came inside running , 

    She hugged Chhaya " did you miss us  sissy ", she nodded ,

     "  But don't be sad ....... Anirudh will take you for a drive " she said cheerfully .

          All of the family members entered one by one , Anirudh entered last .

          When Panchi said Anirudh will take for a ride she thought on some other day but seeing him ,she got it , it was today , now itself .

       He didn't give her time to change or go to the bathroom for once , Anjali helped her sit comfortably and he started the car immediately and took the road .

THATS  ALL FOR TODAY....
