Frazzled Rose

'Something came up. Won't be able to meet.'

The message got a blue tick, and I tapped my feet on the ground while staring typing... at the screen. I shut off the screen after he sent the thumbs up, and kept it on bed beside me.

I rested my lids and fell on the headboard behind, trying to get the incidences of last night fall into place.

'Here's your Kavya special tea, to release out all your stress.', I smiled at Kavya who marched into the room with tea filled mug in her hands.

Thanking her, I grabbed the mug from her hands and took the first sip and a satisfactory groan escaped my lips. 'Too good.'

A large grin found it's way on her lips. 'Well, how did you know I was low?'

'I have started to know my bhabhi really well. She has been quite silent than usual.', I smiled at her before giving her a flying kiss.

'Kavya, can I ask you something? If you don't mind.' I raised the topic, while enjoying my tea. She immediately nodded her head. 'Yeah sure. Go ahead.'

'How did ma...I mean your mom died?', her face fell, and the colour drained out of her face. I immediately felt remorseful as I saw her aura fading away. 'Hey. I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.'

She gave me a smile the very next moment. 'It's alright bhabhi. It's just that, her mention always wets my eyes. I was really young when she passed away, 7 to be precise. Me and ma were travelling back home from nani's house, and a truck hit our car. The truck hit on the side ma was sitting, luckily I made it, but she couldn't.'

'She passed away in an accident?', she nodded, but it was challenging for me to trust. Who do I believe? Her words or Avyaansh's confessions the night prior. 'Uhm I guess I shouldn't be saying this to you, but a word fell into my ears that she was murdered?'

She scrunched her brows at my statement. 'Murder? No bhabhi, it was a accident. Actually, the truck's brakes were failed, and the driver couldn't control the steering on the busy road with no brakes working. And as far as I know, even he couldn't make it that day.'

'Didn't Avyaansh accompany you to your nani's house? It was his nani's house too right?', she shook her head.

'Nope. He never used to come with us, even when nani and her family used to come, bhai never used to leave his room.', damn this maze was grasping me back more and more.

'Why so?', she shrugged her shoulders. 'You never asked anyone?'

She nodded her head. 'I did. But I never got a answer. Anyway, why are you up with all these questions today, all of a sudden?'

What do I answer her, when I myself haven't gotten any answer to my questions. 'Ahh nothing serious. I was just wondering about her, so thought to ask you.'

She smiled and nodded her head, she seemed convinced. 'Anyway bhabhi, I have my mid semester coming up, and trust me I haven't flipped a page, and now I seriously need to do so. I will take your leave, and since you were home, and I was busy so I invited Esha bhabhi and Misha di over. You can have a good day with them.'

I went all aww over her gestures, I gave her a tight hug before she strolled out of them room, while I enjoyed the last couple sips of my tea. I tried talking to Kavya, if she could help me out of the maze, but she threw more deeper inside. I couldn't blame her though, I shouldn't have asked her in the first place.

Who do I believe? What do I believe? Avyaansh? Kavya? The accident? Or the murder? I can't live the maze anymore like that, I need to talk to you Avyaansh, I have to confront you over this. You can't escape anymore. 'What's troubling you so much, sweetie?'
