Ananya's POV~
I woke up when I felt something on my cheek. I saw my Ayu wake up and hold my dress. Austin is trying to move Ayu away from me.
"See Ayu... You have woke up your mom," Austin said. Ayu looked at me with puppy eyes.
"It's okay,beta," I said.
"Sorry..I tried to stop him", Austin said.
"No..It's fine..", I said.
"I will freshen up and come..Will you look after him?", I asked Austin.
"Sure..", he said.
I freshened up and went to the room. Austin is playing with Ayu in the bed.
"Ethan bhai is coming for dinner right?", I asked him.
"Yep...He said he will be there in 2 hours", he said.
"Great...Ayu..Badepapa is coming here..Shall we get ready?", I asked while spreading my arms. He giggled and came to me.
"Who is coming?", Austin asked being puzzled.
"Ethan..", I said.
"You said something", Austin said.
"Ohh..Bade papa", I said.
"Yeah..What is it?", Austin asked.
"Children call the dad's big brother as Bade papa and Dad's small brother as Chachu in India", I said.
"Ohh.." Austin said.
"Ayu... Let's get ready", I said while caressing his cheeks.
Austin looks cute while being puzzled. I laughed thinking about his facial expression.
After making Ayu ready, I asked a maid to look after him. They both went to his toy room.
I wore a jeans and a top. I put my hair into a pony tail. I just applied a little make up.
When I was wearing my nupital chain, Suddenly, Austin back hugged me. He placed his chin on my shoulder. I shivered in his embrace. He slowly left me and made me wear the nupital chain. He turned me around and applied vermilion on my hairline.
I smiled at his action. He placed a kiss on my cheek. My face was red. I just looked down.
"Shall we go downstairs?", I asked in a low voice.
"As you say", he said while teasing me.
I just went outside of the room immediately.
"Hey..Wait for me", he said but I just smiled and went off.
When I went downstairs, I asked the head maid to place the dishes on the table. Then I saw Austin is coming with Ayu downstairs.
Soon I heard the door bell. I immediately went to receive them. I am excited to meet them.
I saw Ethan is standing with a smile. I saw a timid girl standing beside him. She is wearing a small frock. She is looking too cute. She is just looking down.
"Hii bhai", I said to Ethan.
"Hii", he said.
"Please come inside", I said. I flashed my tooth smile to the girl. She smiled back.
"Hii", I said.
"Hii", she said.
I made them sit on the sofa. I asked my house maid to get some drinks.
After we had some drinks, Austin and Ethan said they have something discuss.
"Hey...It's family time..", I said.
"Anu...Just for half an hour...It's important", Austin said.
"Yeah Anu", Ethan said softly. I felt happy because he meant it when he said he would be taking care of me like his sister. I smiled.
"Okay... You guys should be downstairs by 30 min," I said.
"Okay," Austin said. He placed a peck on my forehead and left with Ethan.
"Hey.." I said while sitting beside the girl.
"Hi.."he said.
"You are Korean, right?", I asked.
"Yeah", she said being shocked.
"naneun hangug-eoleul jogeum al-ayo(I know Korean a little bit)", I said.
"jeongmal(Really)", she said being shocked.
"Ottokeyo?(How do you know?)", she asked.
"Drama", I said.
"Ohh...", she nodded cutely.
"yeo..n..g-eole..ul asin..ayo?(Do you know English?)", I asked barely forming a sentence.
"Yes...I know", she said.
"Wow...That's great!", I said.
"Yes..", she said.
"So..I am from India..", I said.
"Ohh...You are so pretty", she said.
"Thank you..but you are so pretty", I said.
"You can call me...Unnie(Sis) if you want", I said.
I saw tears filling her eyes. I was shocked.
"Hey...What happened? Why are you crying? Sorry if I said something bad..", I said while wiping her tears.
"No..I don't have anyone...", she said while hicupping.
"Thank you for the comfort which you have gave unknowingly", she said while hugging me. I patted her back while smiling at her.
"Thank you, Unnie", she said.
"Huh? No thank you for Unnie...I just want hugs", I said smiling. I patted her cheek.
She smiled.
"Okay...We forgot the most important thing", I said. She looked at me confusingly.
"We didn't introduce ourselves..I don't even know your name", I said smiling.
"Yeah..", she said.
"So My name is Ananya..I am from India. I am married to Austin for 10 months by now", I said.
"Ohh", she said.
"My name is Lee Sooyoung", she said.
"Aigoo..Sooyoungie", I said in a Korean accent. She smiled.
"So how do you met Ethan?", I asked.
"Unnie...He...is...", she was about to say something but got cut off by Ethan.
"What are you guys discussing?", I heard Ethan bhai's voice.
"Oh you guys came..", I said while getting up. I saw Sooyoung is gripping my hand tightly.
"What happened, Sooyoungie?", I said while caressing her hair.
"Unnie..", she said.
"Ethan bhai...You didn't tell me how did you meet her?", I asked.
"Mm...We met in a restaurant", he said briefly.
"Okay..", I said.
"So..Let's eat..", Austin said.
"Yeah..Let's go..", I said.
"Unnie..I will come with you", she said while holding my hand.
"Yeah", I said being confused. Ethan bhai is glaring at her. Austin just stood with blank face.
When I went inside to the kitchen. Sooyoung is still tightly gripping my hand.
"Sooyoungie..", I said while taking her hand in my hand.
"Unnie..You don't know who are they?", she asked while trembling.
"What do you mean?", I asked being puzzled.
"Unnie..They are mafia..", she whispered.
"What?", I exclaimed while being stunned by her revelation. The plate fell down from my hand.
I saw Austin and Ethan coming to the kitchen hurriedly.
I saw Austin and Ethan in disbelief.
"Anu...What happened?", Austin said while coming near me. I took a step back seeing him.
"What happened?", Austin asked again while about to caress my cheek. I flinched and took a step back.
"Don't come near me..", I said while being scared.
"Unnie..", she said and hugged me.
Austin looked at Ethan. Ethan is looking down and glared at Sooyoung. I made her stood behind me.
"You...Come with me..", Ethan said while coming to Sooyoung.
"No..I won't come with you..", she said while hiding behind me. Austin just silently watching everything without speaking a word.
"Austin..Is it true? Are..you r..really..mafia..?", I asked while trembling. Tears came out unknowingly
"Anu..Listen to me..", Austin said.
"Austin..Just yes or no", I asked him.
"Yes..", he said while looking down.
"Bhai..", I said while looking at Ethan.
"How could you hide this thing from me? How could you do this?", I yelled while looking at them.
They just look down not saying anything.
"Anu..I was..about..to..", Austin said but I stopped him by using my palm.
Ethan was flaring in anger. He came towards me and dragged Sooyoung who is behind me.
He slammed her on the wall. He grabbed his jaw.
"You...I said to behave right?", he asked in a cold voice. I pushed Ethan bhai and took Sooyoungie with me.
"What is it, bhai? Why are you behaving like this?", I said while looking at him.
"Sorry bro..It's my mistake..", Ethan said to Austin. Ethan glared at Sooyoung.
Ethan just went off while breaking the glass vase.
"Sooyoungie..Come. I will show your room", I said while taking her to guest room.
"Anu...Atleast..", Austin tried to speak but I didn't even listen to it. I ignored him
I took Sooyoung to guest room. When we went to the guest room, I made her sit on the bed.
"Thank you, Unnie..Thank you so much", she said while hugging me.
"I was really scared. I don't know what to do. He is really ruthless. He blackmailed me. If I didn't go with him , he will kill my friends ...", she said and started crying.
"Shh..It's okay...I will not let anything happen to you or your friends..", I said.
"Thank you, Unnie..", she said.
"Take rest ", I said while patting her hair.
"Hmm", she said.
After talking for some time, I went out of the guest room. I went to our room. I saw Ayu is sleeping. I just went and laid on my bed.
Tears started rolling down from my eyes. I was overwhelmed. He is mafia...This happens only in movies. What does he do? Oh my God!! What is happening?
I was trembling thinking, does he kill people? My tears are flowing continuously from my eyes. How do I deal with this?
When I was engaged in my own thinking section, I felt Ayu's hand on my cheek. He started wiping my tears. He looked at me being puzzled. I wiped tears and took him in my arms.
Ayu kept his hand on my face. He just wrapped his hands on my neck.
My world, My life is with me, holding me together.
