Anvika reached the cafe in 15 minutes. Snehal was already waiting for her. She parked her car and went towards the cafe.
" What's the matter?? " She directly asked taking her seat.
"Dude can't I just wanna meet you without work?? " Snehal got annoyed.
" If you don't have anything to say... I'm... "
" Oy oy fine.. I've already ordered coffee for us. Did you go to meet Avnish??" Snehal interrupted her and asked cautiously.
" Yeah... "
" What did the doc say?? "
" No improvement "
" Oh.. Okay... You haven't had breakfast yet??"
" Nahh..."
" I'll order sandwich for us??.. It's already noon... You should've eaten. "
" Yeahh so nagging... "
Snehal glared at her. The waitress arrived with their coffee. Snehal told her to get sandwich for them. After ordering they both started drinking.
" Oh btw I'll staying at yours for a few days" Snehal informed her.
Anvika asked" Had a fight?? "
" Ahh annoying.. "
" Yeah annoying. " Anvika said rolling her eyes.
Snehal looked at Anvika for a while and asked cautiously " Umm Are you going to the old mansion ??? "
" Yeahh... How do you know??? " Anvika raised a brow.
" My Ma told me. "
" No wonder you wanna stay at mine. "
Snehal clicked her tongue and winked at her. Their order arrived.
After eating they both went to Anvika's place.
" I'll come with you?? " Snehal asked cautiously. She was very afraid to talk regarding this matter. Because she knew if Anvika exploded it will be her death.
" Ummm?? "
" I mean I'll come to the Kapoor Mansion with you? " She wanted to state it in assertive way. But it sounded more like a question.
" You.. Okay. " Snehal was relieved when Anvika agreed.
In the evening they went to Kapoor Mansion.
After getting out of the car Anvika hesitated to go inside. " Anvi let's go. "
Anvika just hummed her and stood in thd same position.
" Anvika C'mon let's go. " Snehal dragged her inside.
Bhavya aunty was happy to see her coming home after so long " Child you're finally home . " She said with tears.
" Now now don't cry ain't I here. " Anvika hugged her.
" It's good that you're here... It's good. "
Anvika smiled at her" All the preparations are done? "
" Yeah... I was just waiting for you. "
" Okay then let's go. "
Anvika, Snehal, Bhavya aunty and other servants all went to the living room. The mansion was very big.
In the living room there was big picture occupying 1/4 of the wall in the middle.
In the picture their were 4 people. A man in his early forties sitting on a grand sofa looking stern but a small smile on his face. Beside him was a gentle woman around the same age as him. She looked very elegant and classic. Beside her was a beautiful girl in her teens smiling sweetly. Beside the girl was a handsome boy in his Twenties. Both men placed a hand on the women shoulder protectively.
She remembered asking her father why he selected this picture for the wall. Her father looked at her brother. Her brother smiled at her patting her head he said " We both are men and the pillar of this family so it is necessary for us to protect you both. "
