Me+You=We

Crossing paths!

Ajey's POV:

I was sleeping peacefully when I was suddenly woke up by someone banging loudly on my door. I was irritated so I ignored it and tried to sleep again but the banging didn't stop so I had no option rather than to open the door of my room. I groggily woke up from my king sized bed and went to open the door.

When I opened the door I was forced into a bone crushing hug from my big brother willy. He is one of the best brother everyone desires of. He is 23 years old and is running one of my father's business. we are rather like best friends than brothers. We never hide anything from each other and he never forces me to do the things I don't want to do. He is my life savior too. Every time he saves me from the wrath of my parents.

He hugged me for a long time. I was squeezed in his well toned muscles. I no longer could bear it so I said;"Ah! It hurts leave me". But instead he squeezed me more. I was so angry with him, first thing he spoiled my morning sleep and second he is irritating me by capturing me in his hug. I struggled hard and he finally released me and said;" Punu! how can you be so careless and drive recklessly if anything would've happened to you I wouldn't have been able to survive. As soon as I heard about your accident I rushed from London to India leaving my important meeting. How can you be so childish". P.S. Punu is my nickname I know it sounds girly but this is my name given by my dear Anu and only my few chosen person can call me by this name, even my parents aren't allowed to call me by this name.

I am the apple of an eye of my brother. He loves me more than anything.

I just ignored my brother's concern in DUHHHHH! tone, because of which, in return, I got a smack on my head from him and I screamed in a dramatic way, saying;"It hurts you just smacked me on the wound that I got from the accident". Fear crossed his face and he apologized for hurting me. I just smirked and he understood my drama and smacked me twice this time.

He then dragged me inside my room and told me to get ready. I was not in the mood to go anywhere and refused straight, but instead of accepting my denial, he dragged me inside my bathroom and told me to take a shower. I had no option left rather than to listen to him, so I did as he said,because I know him and his bossy nature. So I took a shower, entered my closet and wore a V-neck formal black T-Shirt with a pair of jeans ripped on the knees and black Nike shoes.

I walked out of my closet only to be greeted by my brother's smiling face. I just got more angry seeing him smiling, so I arrogantly asked him;"Where are we going?". His smile got broader and he cheerfully said;"Annanya is here in the town. She is helping her grandma in the cafe. So we are going to meet her now. And also we haven't met Dadi(Grandma) in a long time. I so miss the coffee made in her hands". Then I understood why he spoiled my morning sleep.

You may be wondering who Annanya is actually. Annanya is Anu's sister and my brother's finance. She is 21 years old and was studying fashion designing in Paris. She has recently come back for vacation and is helping her Grandma in her cafe. My brother was not able to meet her because of his important business trip to London. So now he is back he cannot spare a second without meeting her.

Willy grabbed my hand and dragged me down the parking and stuffed me in his black G-Wagon and started to drive at a boring speed. You may be wondering why my brother is driving at this normal speed. It is because he believes safety is the most important thing.

After almost a decade, we finally reached the cafe. As usual, Dadi(Garndma) was sitting at the cash counter with her big round glasses on. As soon as she saw us, her face lit up and she came running towards us and gave us both the bear hugs which gives us the warmth that we seek, for every time. She then released us from her hug and, most importantly, pulled my ear because I hadn't come to meet her for around 4 months. She pulled my ear and dragged me to the lounge area and said," Punu, why didn't you come to meet me all these days? I'm angry with you. You really don't value me much nowadays because I'm an old lady and I'm not beautiful like before."

I just smiled and stared at her. I really missed this old lady. Seeing me smiling, she again added,"Why are you smiling? Do you really think I'm not important in your life?"

I smiled more widely and said,"Dadi(Grandma), You know right what value you got in my life. And another thing I didn't come to meet you all these days because I was busy with my project. I'm sorry and, most importantly, my ear hurts. Ahhhhhhhh! It hurts hurts hurts."

After my and Dadi's short interaction, we sat on the couch and started talking about all the things that had happened in each other's lives. Dadi( Grandma) then said," Oh! Punu, I forgot to say something. We hired a new staff here. And you know coincidentally, her name is Anu too. She hasn't said much about her life, but I just know that she ran away from her house and was homeless with no money and nowhere to go. At first sight, I only felt a different kind of bond between us. She felt so close yet so far away. I felt as if Anu had entered my life back again. Her face, her voice, her nature, her aura, her smile and the way that she behaves with others feels so familiar with our Anu. I really miss my child Punu. I miss her badly. I know you don't like to either talk or listen about her. But I can't stop myself from thinking about her."

Dadi( Grandma) was shedding tears while talking about Anu. I know even after 14 years no one is able to forget about Anu. So, in order to change the mood, I jokingly said," So won't you show me your staff Anu. Let me see her who dared to scratch the old wounds of my Dadi( Grandma)."

Dadi( Grandma) glared at me and said,"Don't mistreat her, she is not like your one-night stands. She is different. Wait, I will call her."Dadi( Grandma) picked up the landline at the end of the lounge and called the kitchen room saying," Anu my child, can you please bring one hot chocolate and one lemon tea to the lounge room."

Then, after around 4-5 minutes, the same girl I had encountered on the day of my accident and who was the cause of my accident came inside with a tray of lemon tea and hot chocolate. Seeing her, my blood boiled to another level but I couldn't misbehave in front of Dadi so I made a poker face. She kept the drinks on the table and left. But I have to admit seeing her I felt some familiarity. I quickly brushed off this feeling and started to talk with Dadi(Grandma). After some time, Dadi(Grandma) returned to the cash counter and I started to wander around the cafe. And then, out of nowhere, I went through the kitchen where my brother and Annanya were having a full make-out session. I cleared my throat and said," Get a room guys".

They quickly parted and I could see Annanya blushing and my brother was glaring at me. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. I then turned around and walked towards the book-self to pick a random book and read. I was thinking if Anu was alive now we would be so very happy. Seeing my brother and his finance together pinches me somewhere in my heart. I don't show it but it hurts. It hurts way too much. While I was in my own wonderland, I suddenly collided with someone.

When I looked down, I saw the same girl, Anu, who had collided with me and the drinks she was carrying spilled all over my shirt. I got frustrated, nobody ever dares to insult the great Ajey Malhotra. She was around the height of my shoulders with her petite body that perfectly fitted my arm. No no no! What am I thinking? I pushed that girl rudely and said ," How dare you?". She fell flat on the ground and suttered,"I'm so sorry".

Then I arrogantly said ,"I know girls like you can do anything for money. You are just seeking an opportunity to gain my attention. You are a slutty b***h. You are the one because of whom I nearly got killed last time. If you really want attention, then come with me for one night and please me. If you are able to make me happy, I will shower you with money".

Before I even finished talking, the most unexpected thing happened. A shrill pain ran down my cheeks. She slapped me and ran away crying. She f*****g dared to slap me. No one has ever slapped me. I was for once caught for the moment.

She hurt my ego badly and now I will not be easy on her. She will get the worst punishment ever. I will not let her go away with it this easily. She will never rest in peace for her life. She will see what slapping the great Ajey Malhotra will cause her. Tsk!Tsk!Tsk! Just wait and watch Anu, just wait and watch what slapping the Great Ajey Malhotra does to you.
