Anshika's POV :

He is no longer a fatty - I know you can judge me that I am body shaming but I totally think it's not wrong to a call a fat person fat - It's the truth. I am not criticizing him after all. I am just giving him a name that suits his personality.

He is currently siiting on the sofa across me crossing his one leg over the other - like he ownes the place - but technically he really does.

His hair looks like they have not met comb for years.He has a clean face - no beard and a medium complexion - neither too dark nor too fair . He is tapping something on his phone with a bored expression.

This transfirmation from the chubby boy I remembered to the leaner, taller version didn't impress me - it just made him more smug.

Aunty left to prepare something to eat for me asking him to talk with me until she returns but he didn't even bothered saying something to me like I wasn't worth more than a glance.

A few minutes passed like this - he staring at his phone and me remembering all the events that happened to me since morning. Then I decided not to think about my parents and so I shifted my focus on the room I was sitting in.

It was very clean with a wooden floor and blue coloured walls. A photo hung on the wall - Sumit along with his parents - Swati aunty and Raghav uncle.I again felt like I couldn't breathe but suddenly Aunty came in the room.

"Sumit, Why are you busy on your phone? Chat with Anshika. Get to know her better. " She arrived with a plate filled with

samosa in a hand and a tray in which three cups of tea were placed.

"Don't mind him Anshika. He is just like this. Always busy either on his phone or with Anant. "

" If he had not gone to his relative's house for this week, I would have been at his home. I would not bother returning here. "He said without taking his eyes off his phone.

" Sumit. Speak properly. Where are your manners?You can't speak like this to her. She is your elder sister...I mean like your elder sister "Aunty said snatching his phone from his hands.

"You want me to be happy on the fact that you cancelled our trip to Manali because she was coming to stay here. I was so happy but all my plans were ruined because of her arrival."

"Is this what I taught you? Say sorry to Anshika .Now. "

He didn't liked my presence but it wasn't me who wanted to come here. It were my parents. I was hurt by his words but from his perspective he was maybe right - but it is not good to speak to someone like this on their face - but still I said, " It's fine aunty. He does not needs to say sorry. I understand. I too would have done the same if I were at his place. "

"He needs too, Anshika. Say sorry ,Sumit"

"Sorry" He said barely whispering and then grabbed a samosa and started eating. His mouth was now filled with it- he is still that food lover fatty.

Aunty then settled down on the sofa too.

"Anshika, you do not have to think at all that I am facing any kind of problem or that I don't like your presence. He is just a nuisance - don't mind him. I always wanted a daughter too and now I have one - you. And if you think I feel burdened then it's not true at all and why should I even feel burdened. I don't even have a change in my routine or something like that . The maids are incharged of doing all the work so you can never be a burden to me in any possible way."

"Yes auntie" I replied faking a smile.



It has been a week since I came here and fatty - he is no longer a fatty so I think I can't use that for him anymore. So Sumit and I are living in the same room with two different beds because this house has been renovated recently and aunty told me that other rooms are filled with old stuffs that can't be used.

He was too furious on this decision but couldn't do anything.

I have started bonding with them. Aunty is actually quite cool. She never gives a typical mother vibe. I usually don't like other's company but I have started liking her company.

But that Sumit - he is just some walking nuisance. We both try to avoid each other but when forced to talk by aunt - we have no choice.

During this week I came to know that he has a neighbour cum friend 'Anant' who has gone to his relative's house because of a marriage.

They both are close - very close as described by Swati aunty. She told me that Raghav uncle - Swati aunty's husband - and that Anant's dad are business partners and Swati aunty works at their own company as Raghav uncle's secretary.She took a ten days leave and decided to work from home leave so that she could bond with me.

That boy - Anant was returning today.So this nuisance - Sumit has been happy - too happy since morning because he has found someone to whom he could finally complain about me.

It's noon. I am sitting in the backyard.

Suddenly Sumit came carrying a bottle of coke. He has a mischievous grin on his face as if up to something.

He approaches me and hands me a bottle."Take it.Since you will stay for two months and I can't even do anything about it. So with this bottle of coke I am signing a peace treaty with you"

I really doubt his intensions but I take the bottle and open it and

BAM

"It's so easy to fool you with just some mentos dipped in a bottle of coke.You know what happens when you trap Mentos in Coke? Pressure, girl. Boom. Just like how you came in my life."He was laughing shamelessly.

"Seriously.You are so much cheap Sumit.Then here take this. "

I rush to throw the remaining coke in the bottle at Sumit but he bends down immediately and....it hits someone else - a boy.

"What the hell!"

"I am so...so sorry... I didn't mean it... really. "
