“Vo me baad me batauga abhi aap jao mujhe sharam aati he” he said, turning his face. ramu kaka nodded his face he said. “Nauntanki” and he started to walk.

“Ramu kaka” akaay called out. and ramu kaka turned. before he can do anything. akaay came and hugged him tightly. lifting him in the air.

“Jadoo ki jhapi leja tu abhi” akaay was singing and when he put ramu kaka on ground he held hands of ramu kaka and started to dance making him dance too. ramu kaka put his one hand on head and the other hand on waist. and started to shake his waist.

“Waah kya thumka maar rahe ho ramu kaka” akaay said while dancing. Meanwhile, Rishi heard screams a few minutes ago and he came out of his room and went to akaay’s room. but what he saw was his jaw dropped on the floor.

‘is ghar me sab pagal he’ he said to himself after picking his jaw from the floor. Both Ramu kaka and akaay were dancing. they were in their own world and they didn't notice riishi. Then suddenly Ramu Kaka turned and saw Rishi standing in the door.

Ramu kaka paused. his hand was one on hip , one in the air. He freezed. seeing this rishi raised his eyes brows. and akaay was still dancing like crazy. ramu kaka noticed and elbowed him. akaay turned still dancing.

“Jadoo ki jhapi. leja tu abhi kya hua kaka. nach kyu nai rahe ho. ja…aaaaaahhhh” akaay screamed seeing rishi. and when he realised he covered his mouth with his palm. The good timing of the speaker stopped again.

“Tum dono ka jhaad fuk karva na padega. kisi pisach ka saya he tum pe sayad” rishi said. in disbelief while looking at ramu kaka and akaay.

“arey papa hum toh admi he. hum par pisach thodi ayega. chudail hogi ya fir koi bhootni hoge mere piche.” akaay said almost laughing. but stopped and covered his mouth again realising his mistake. and close his eyes for a brief moment in regret.

“dekha mujhe pata tha. kal hi baat krta hu kisi ache baba se. dono ke liye.” he turned and was about to walk.

“par papa” akaay said and rishi stopped in place he turned to akaay. Rishi folded his arms on his chest. akaay was about say and again. The speaker started to make loud noises.

Aaaaaahhhhhh this time all three screamed in unison.they looked at each other face in horror.

“baba pehle toh tum usse band kro” ramu kaka said. akaay nodded his head and went to the speaker and turned off. akaay turned and looked at them. rishi’s hand was on his chest. Ramu Kaka's face was horrified.

Pregnant silence was in the room. Ramu Kaka started to walk out of the room. Rishi cleared his throat. ‘Kisi din yeh heart attact dilvayega’ rishi mumbled and left the room. Now akaay was alone. He didn't do it twice; he just went to sleep.

Next Day

Author Pov

It was 9:55 am in the morning. Anantha was walking on M.G road streets. She was excited for the date. but she didn’t have any girly dresses and if she wore them it would reveal her scars. She feels ashamed of her scars.

She wore black shirt. dark blue jeans. mask on. and hair open she already has soft curly hair. She didn’t do hair style or anything. cause she doesn't know how to. She tried while watching videos but she didn’t have much time.

She didn’t put on make -up. guess what she doesn't know that too. She wants to do girly things but couldn't. She doesn't feel pretty. She thinks if she puts that stuff men will come for her. She envies other girls for knowing everything.

And when she grew up she never had any reasons to get ready or do girly things. but now she has a reason. hoping she will learn everything eventually she leaves the house.

She saw me on the other side of the road. There was a car. Thar Roxx. That Roxx. A man was sitting on the bonnet of the car. in black jacket, grey shirt and jeans. and black shoes folding his legs he was sitting looking so good while waiting for her. anantha stopped in her place.

Akaay. her mouth whispers his name like a need. like she needs him to breathe. and like he heard her somehow akaay turned his face towards her. time stopped for a second. His dark brown eyes met her light brown ones.

He smiled and waved at her. She waved back. She was about to walk when he signaled her to stop. Why? Why did he stop her? He doesn't want her to come. her face became pale from this thought. and she stopped.
