Siya
"When I was your age, Kaya, I used to get better marks, " Sunny taunts her after she told us that she
failed today's test.
"Don't fool me, Sunny, you just used to blackmail teachers to get the better marks, you never even
wanted to study in the first place, "
Both rolled their eyes together in ignorance.
"Rani. That Rani told you this right?" Sunny asks, glaring.
"No one tells me anything, it's your dirty deeds that cannot be hidden, " She defends, crossing her
hands.
"I know that bitch, I rejected her and that's why she spread this rumor of me around the college, " He
muttered, annoyed.
"Don't you dare to call her bitch she is my friend, alright?!"
"Yes, of course, what else I can expect!"
"What do you mean??"
I wanted to interfere in their senseless argument but I was enjoying it, they look so cute while fighting
like two babies arguing over a piece of chocolate.
"Adah?" Maa sa's voice echoes in my ears, looking at where's the voice coming from I saw her,
descending the stairs.
"Maa sa, why are you here? You should rest or Karan sa won't like it, " I said, walking towards her to
give her support to come down to the living room.
"Is Karan here?" She asks out of the blue.
"No, Mom, brother is at the office, " Kaya replied on behalf of me, to be honest, after what happened in
the morning, I didn't even meet him for once.
"Then let me roam around, I am way too tired and bored just sitting on my bed but Karan is too
stubborn to see this, " She says as I helped her to sit on the couch.
"Actually, this is a good idea, it will make you feel fresh, " I said, she smiled at my words.
"Indeed, but I heard you guys fighting over something, " She Says, gazing over the angry birds.
"Kaya got fewer marks in the test, " Sunny stated, smirking at Kaya to annoy her.
"Mom, It just-" Maa sa cut her off.
"Kaya, you should study hard like Karan I don't want you to be Sunny, " She said, making everyone
laugh as Sunny shot her an annoyed glare whereas Kaya stuck her tongue to him.
"Mom!" He chides when a maid comes into the living room, taking our attention.
"I am sorry to interrupt but a taxi is standing outside of our palace, " That maid said.
"What, why?" We asked in unison.
"I don't know, he said he was told to drop a little girl here, " She says, confusing us.
"Wait, I will go and see the matter, " Sunny said and wandered off.
"I will also go, " Kaya stated.
"Adah," Maa sa called me, "You should go and check what's is wrong, I don't trust these kids, "
I nodded and followed them, finding Sunny was talking to the taxi driver.
"Sir, Mujhe sirf yeh kaha gaya tha ki yeh choti si bacchi ko yeha chordene, " The driver said, indicating
to the little girl who was sitting on the back seat, unbothered by what's happening out here.
(Sir,I was just told to drop this little girl here)
"Lekin hum nhi jaante iss bacchi ko, bhai aap sayad galat address pe aageyho, " Kaya spoke, in the
matter-of-fact manner.
(But we don't know her, you must be arrived at the wrong address)
He looks at girl and then us, "Yeh Suryavanshi palace he hain na?" He questions.
(This is Suryavanshi palace, no?)
Sunny nodded, "Haa par-" I cut him off. (Yes but)
"Bhaiya, aap vo bacchi ko yeha leke aao, " I told the driver, he gives me a short nod and turned around
to get the girl.
(Brother, please bring the girl over here)
A sunny glance at me, baffled, "Bhabhi sa, it's clear that none of us knows her then why you want to
meet that girl?!"
I mirrored his expression but with more annoyance, "Sunny, she is a little girl, it's our duty to help her,
we can't just leave her with that driver, at least we can ask if she knows who sent her here, " I told him.
He nodded in understanding.
"I agree with Bhabhi sa, we will ask directly to her, " Kaya joined.
The driver returned with that girl in his arms, she was sucking her fingers cutely, she had big shiny
brown eyes as her hair was tied in mini pigtails. I indicated to the driver to put her down as I leaned to
her height.
"Hii, " I said, extending my hand for a handshake but she looked between me and my hand in
confusion.
"Hello, baby, do you want chocolate?" Kaya asks, patting her head gently when she didn't react to our
talk Sunny spoke.
"Kaya, bhabhi sa, I think she can't understand us, wait let me try, " We both nodded, getting up,
allowing Sunny to try his luck out, he embraced the little girl in his arms.
"Meri choti is jaan, batao Sunny bhaiya ko ki aap kon ho, kaha se ho?" He asks in a baby tone, making
Kaya and me giggle.
(My little life, tell your Sunny brother who are you and where are you from?)
Still, no response, "Kuch toh bolo, " Sunny says to her, irritated. (Say something) Suddenly, she wiped
her fingers which were deep in her saliva on Sunny's shirt.
"What the-" Sunny trailed loudly with the hint of disgust in his tone, making that girl cry by his voice,
"Bhabhi sa, handle this girl, " He hands her over me, scared by her sudden cry.
I patted her back and shake her a bit in my arms, as a result, she stops crying and holds my dress
tightly, hiding her face on my chest.
"What we'll do with her?" Kaya questions, glancing at her, tired of trying.
"Let me try for the last time if she didn't answer we will hand her to the police, they will find her parents,
"
They both nodded in agreement.
"Baby, who are you, and who sent you here?" She looked up to my face when something flickered her
eyes as she understood me.
"I want to meet Karan, Uncle Daniel sent me, " She finally spoke, we three shared a look in
puzzlement.
Why a little girl wants to meet Karan, is she Daniel's relative?
"Well, why? and who is Daniel?" She again ignored Sunny's question.
"He's Karan's bro best friend, he came yesterday when you were gone somewhere," Kaya explained to
him.
Sunny mouthed 'Ohh'
"Since we know that Daniel has sent her here to us and she has a work with Karan then we should
take her inside the house, " I said, turning towards the baby, "What's your name?"
"Eshani," My heart stopped beating when I heard her name.
"Yes, let's go, " Sunny said when that driver stopped him.
"Bhai mere paise?" He questions. (Brother, what about my money?)
"Ohh haa, kitne hue?" Sunny asks, removing wallet from his pocket. (Ohh yeah, how much)
"8000 rs, "
Sunny gives him a questioning look, "Bhai, issko kya mumbai se yaha leke aaye ho, ki itna paise
hogaye?!" (Bro, did you bring her here from Mumbai that you are charging so much money?)
I took Esha inside with me and Kaya followed us, leaving Sunny to deal with that driver they were
arguing over something but I ignored.
"Nhi, Hotel grand dupes ke saamne se uper se bacchi ne, galti se susu bhi kar diya tha taxi mein, toh
uske kapre aur meri car ki nayi seats ke cover, dry cleaning ke saat, aur usko burgur, coke khilaya
pilaya alag se, " He explains.
(No, I picked her from Hotel grand dupes, but she mistakenly pee in the taxi so I had to buy her new
clothes and new seat cover for my taxi, plus I had to do dry cleaning as well and I also feed her burgur
and coke)
Sunny sighed, annoyed, "Alright, "
