Chapter 11 [“Family Time”]

Someone knocked at Keya's door.

Keya absent-mindedly responded – "Get in"

Keya got up from her bed when she saw it was Neysa who entered.

Neysa eyes were red and swollen on continuously crying for so long hours.

Neysa ran and hugged Keya. Keya hugged her back.

Neysa- "I was a fool. I even went against you."

Keya- "Do not cry. I am always here to protect you."

Neysa- "Am I not pretty enough? Why did he do that?"

Keya- "The fault is not in you but it is with that jerk. He doesn't deserve you"

Neysa- "I am feeling very bad."

Keya- "You should be happy to get ridden from that monster. He was cheating on you. Any guy who will honestly love you will treasure you like a precious gem"

Neysa- "But why me?"

Keya (jokingly)- "Because you do not listen to your sister."

Neysa gave a faint laughter.

Neysa- "I hate that b*stard".

Keya- "Of course! He does not deserve love. Don't worry we will take care of him"

Neysa- "We? Oh yes, Divit did help us a lot today. I did not thank him properly."

Keya- "No problem, you can thank him later."

Neysa- "How did you know about that place and where Earl was?"

Keya- "Well all the credit goes to Divit. He hired some people to keep an eye on Earl."

Neysa- "He loves you very much."

Keya- "He considers you his little sister. It has nothing to do with love"

Keya smiled knowingly.

Looking at her smile, Neysa said," Yes, I can see that from your smile. I would like to meet him when he is free."

Keya- "You can meet him anytime you want. Just stay happy"

Keya pulled Neysa's cheeks and both the sisters smiled.

Keya- "Do you want to eat your favorite pastry? I will make it for you."

Neysa giggled. She was happy that she got a sister who cared a lot for her.

Both of them went to the kitchen.

Keya took out the ingredients. Neysa happily poured the milk and Keya started breaking the eggs.

Both the sisters made the pastry together. When Ira returned home, she saw her two daughters playing with each other and making pastry.

She was very tired but that warm scene made her feel very happy.

Ira- "What are my daughters preparing?"

Neysa- "My favorite pastry".

And Neysa giggled. Keya also laughed.

Ira- "Is there any special occasion today?"

Neysa smirked- "No, I wanted Keya to serve me".

Keya playfully hit Neysa and said," Whom do you want to serve? Make this yourself then"

Neysa- "No sister, please make this for me, I won't trouble you. What did you bring for us from the market, mother?"

Ira- "Your favorite chocolate"

Neysa smacked her lips and went to Ira. In her market bags, she found her favorite chocochips chocolate.

Keya kept the dough in the oven and came out from the kitchen.

Looking at her, Neysa hid her chocolates.

Keya- "I am not going to steal your chocolates."

Neysa- "But I am going to steal yours"

She giggled, took Keya's chocolates and ran like a ninja.

Keya- "As if I am interested in that chocolate chips chocolate of yours. Mom, you know I don't like chocolates. From next time bring something else for me."

Ira laughed. "Ok, ok but I have bought something for you as well."

Keya looked excitedly at her and Neysa came running from the next room, hiding behind the curtain.

Ira took out Keya's favorite sweet and sour chocolates from her bag And Keya's eyes lit up.

Neysa- "I don't know, why do you like that chocolate. I thought it got extinct. You have such crazy tastes."

Keya- "Mature people eat this unlike you who eat chocochips chocolates like babies."

Neysa made a face and said, "These are sweet unlike your chocolate that is sweet in one moment and sour the next moment like you."

Keya- "This is why I like it."

Just then the microwave oven started beeping. Keya took out the pastry.

She did the icing and filled it with Neysa's favorite chocolate cream.

She also decorated it with little crushes of chocolates because Neysa liked it that way.

When Neysa saw the pastry she got enthusiastic and was very happy.

Before slicing it, she took a spoonful of it from the middle and tasted it.

Neysa- "It tastes so awesome. Wow, Keya. Make more of this for me in the future"

Keya- "You can do it yourself if you want to."

Neysa- "No your's ones are delicious"

Saying so Neysa smacked her tongue.

Ira also had a bite and said," This actually is delicious"

Keya looked at the nibbling Neysa and smiled. She felt happy that finally Neysa was in a good mood.

After the supper, all went to their respective rooms.

Keya dialled Divit.

Divit- "What's up Keya, is everything fine? How is Neysa?"

Keya- "Yes, she is good and wanted to thank you earlier for today. May be, you can take out some time to meet her."

Divit- "Of course, anytime is comfortable for me."

Keya- "She is happy. I made her, her favourite pastry."

Divit- "Won't you bring it for me?"

Keya- "I will bake some fresh one for you tomorrow."

Divit- "Okay then, I will be waiting for the one which you will prepare specially for me."

Keya blushed and bit her nails.

Keya- "Umm, okay."

Divit- "Do you want anything?"

Keya- "What specifically are you asking?"

Divit- "Nothing I just thought, I should give you a return gift if you are taking these pains to prepare pastry for me."

Keya- "Oh! It is no pain. Plus, I don't want anything"

Divit- "Ok then, I will bring your favorite chocolates."

Keya- "No, mom did bring a lot for me, today."

She paused for some time and asked," How do you know my favorite chocolates?"

Divit laughed mysteriously.

Divit- "Ok then, I will bring you your favorite flowers."

Recalling the scene earlier, when Divit bought her her favorite roses, Keya smiled.
