Author’s POV

“Hello Miss Mahi…how are you??” he asked her with a charming smile forwarding his hand for handshake.

She felt something in her tummy as she heard his deep voice and a bright smile broke out on her lips.

“I am fine and you???” she shook her hands with him and asked him with dreaming smile.

“As always fine, what are you doing here??” he asked and gestured her with his hand to sit on chair.

They both sat on chairs where previously she was sitting with her friends.

She smiled and told him in happy tone “I came here with my friends but when I saw you, I waited for you. I hope you don't mind.”

“Nope Miss. Agarwal, In fact, I am glad that you have stayed to see me and even then, I need a help, which only a girl could do, so will you help me?" he asked making her happy that she will get more time to spend with him.

“Yes…but I have one condition” she told him putting her finger on her chin while her insiders were dancing in excitement.

“What???” he asked her raising his right eyebrow.

“Don't call me miss Agarwal. only call me mahi” she purposed with a little chuckle.

“No problem I will call you mahi” he accepted.

“Tell me what you want???” she asked him.

“I want to buy a necklace for someone special and my knowledge is less for all this so will you help me?” he asked her which made her mood fell down and thought “for whom he was buying necklace?? Is he married? No Mahi don't think like that. maybe he was buying it for someone else. "

The man put his hand on her hand which was placed on table, shaking her hand her and asked her "Where have you lost??".

She came to her senses. She looked at him shaking her head.

“Okay then let’s go” he got up from chair.

They both left from there.

Aashi was sitting in the garden working on her project when Janaki came there and said lovingly putting her hand on her head “Aashi is too late you haven't eaten anything yet. Let's eat something first and then work.”

“There's just a little bit of work left, Maasi I'll do it quickly and then I'll have lunch.” She said innocently giving a quick glance at her while fixing back her eyes on laptop.

Janaki shook her head at her and took laptop from her.

“Please… give me my laptop” she whined pouting. She wanted to complete her project first, then lunch but Janaki was not letting her do.

“No, eat first then do your work. if you don't listen to me then I will tell Rajat sir that you have not eaten anything since morning. Then you know that what will happened with you” Janaki threatened her with a glare.

Aashi shook her head immediately with horrified face as she knew what her father would do if he found out she hadn't eaten since morning.

“No….. no….. you won't do anything like that. You know dad, he'll be angry. Okay I am coming with you” she exclaimed raising her hands in air while making best puppy face to melt her.

She accepted her defeat as she knew that she will not leave her alone.

Janaki melted right away seeing her innocent eyes but she didn’t show up on her face as she couldn't compromise on her health

“Hurry up..” Janaki said in fake stern turning around to hid her smile. Aashi pouted cutely but followed her to the dining room. Janaki went to kitchen taking her laptop with her.

Aashi sat on chair in dining table and started playing with plates and spoon.

Janaki came with food and served her. She started feeding her with her hand when Aashi grabbed her hand and looked at her with fake anger.

“I'm not a child anymore. I've grown up. why do you all still treat me like a child? for God’s sake I'm 19 years old and I can eat with my own hands” she pouted like a little girl who was sulking over something.

“I know you've grown up but for me you'll always be the child I've taken care of after your mother left” she said in dull tone while tears started forming in her eyes as she was like a child to her.

Janaki loved her so much.

“Don't cry, I was joking, you want me to eat from your hand, then I will eat from your hand, just stop crying. You are not like my mother but you are my mother” she hugged her immediately.

Aashi wiped her tears and made her sit beside her.

“I am all yours” Aashi said winking at her which made her smile.

“Now open your mouth and eat quietly” she took a morsal from plate and hold in front of her mouth.

“Your wish is my command your highness” she bowed her head down dramatically.

Hearing this Janaki also started laughing with Asahi and she started feeding her with her hands.

The man and Mahi entered a big jewellery showroom. She looked around in showroom to find it marvellous.

The man looked at her with a smirk that how she was looking at the showroom with an awe expression. He didn't even need to ask her to know if she liked it as her face was enough to tell.

“They have beautiful collections” involuntary these words slipped out of her mouth but she shut her mouth when he saw a man in suit standing infront of her.

“I am manager of this showroom, welcome mam and Mr…..” manager of showroom personally welcome them as he knew who the man was. Manager about to take his name but that man told him to keep quite in gesturing. Manager understood his gesture and didn’t not say anything but didn’t leave the chance to get in his good book. He took them to a private room and ordered the best necklace sets of the showroom for them.

Mahi was still lost in herself. she did not understand why she did not like to select jewellery for another woman who was closed to him, she unexpectedly felt jealous.

She couldn’t control her urge to ask him “who is she that you're buying it for.”

He could sense the jealousy in her voice which made him satisfy with his work.

That man said in loving tone to increase her jealousy “she's very special to me.”

She nodded her head giving him tight lipped smile turning her attention to necklace which was infront of the her on the table.

She was feeling low but still she reluctantly started helping him to choose the necklace.

“This one, what do you think??” Her eyes fell on a very beautiful shiny necklace.

That man looked at the necklace “it’s really beautiful”

He asked the manager to pack the necklace and told her to wait outside as he got a call which he couldn’t avoid.

She came out to the room and started looking around but her eyes caught a very beautiful bracelet.

“Please show me that bracelet” She asked the sell girl to show her the bracelet.

It was a beautiful bracelet. Moon and stars hanging in bracelet with the help of chains.

Her lips curled up in smile seeing bracelet. She was sure that Aashi will love it.

She told the sell girl to pack that bracelet.

She came to the counter to make the payment but before she could procced the man came there and said " Add the bill of this bracelet to my bill as well.”

Mahi turned to look at him who was still doing something on his phone. she didn’t want to take that bracelet from him so refused him politely “No… I will pay for it please..."

He looked at her averting his eyes from his phone and said in soft tone but his eyes were intimidated "Take this as a gift from me to help me. "

"No… how can I take it from you and infact it is not for me. I am buying it for my younger sister” she did not want to take such an expensive gift so she again refused

Something flashed in his eyes hearing about her sister but it vanished in a second before she could notice.

"I would like to pay for it. I think you love your sister a lot.”
