Rhea's POV

After my sneeze attack, i make my self comfortable and sleep yet again...

*Dhum*

A loud noise breaks my sleep...i see vivaan picking up his laptop from the  floor

"Thanks for breaking my sleep", i speak

*silence*

"Mr. Vivaan i guess god has given you mouth", i speak

*silence*

"Hello???!", i shout this time

"God has not given me useless time to spare like you...
So please shut your mouth up", vivaan shouts back

"Whats going on in your mind", i ask not able to hold back
Why is being so sweet?

"You will know soon", vivaan replies coldy and leaves the room

*~~*

The house has been decorated beautifully to welcome the guest arriving for reception

The aroma of great food is spread all around...it makes me hungry already

I have been asked to wear a beautiful red sari and the jewellary gifted to me by vivaan's mother

I apply kajal and a hint of lip gloss
I wear the beautiful bangles given to me by mom
Wearing it makes me nostalgic
Mom....

"Aree tyyar ho gayi (you got ready)?", asks vivaan's mother

"Yeah", i reply softly

"Kuch hua hai tenu (has domething happened to you?)", she asks concerned

"No....", i try to hold back my tears

"Mein tenu tab se janti hyun jab tu 3 saal ki thi.....isliye mujhse jhoot na bol (i know you since the time you were 3 yrs old....so stop trying to lie to me)", she exclaims

Unfortunately i break down infront of her and my tears start to flow ....

"Apni bebe ki yaad aa rahi hai? (You are  missing your mother?)", she asks

I simply nod....She hugs me and wipes my tears while cupping my chin ...
A slight smile escapes my face
But then seeing her sad face i get concerned

"What happened mom", i ask

"Kuch nahi (nothing)", she replies

"Aap bhi mujhse jhoot nahi bol sakte (even you cant lie to me)", i reply sternly

"Woh....beta...neeche aaja sab tera intezaar kar rahe hai (actually....daughter.....come downstairs everyone is waiting for you)", she replies avoiding looking at me

"I call you mother....so i need to know...or else i will feel you do not consider me your daughter", i reply

She holds my hand....she makes me sit beside her....few drops of tears roll from her eyes

"Beta....doctor ne kaha menu jyada din na reh gaye hai (doctor has told me that i do not have much time left to live)", she speaks slowly

"Dont say ---", i try to speak but she cuts me in mid

"Vivaan mujhse bahut juda hai...kabhi kabhar uski bahut chinta hoti hai....beta mere jaane ke baat vivaan toot jayega....tu uska bahut khyaal rakhna....abeer ko bhi tujhe hi sambhalna hai.....abeer ko toh yeh nahi batana ki mujhe abhi bhi cancer hai (vivaan is very much attached to me...sometimes i am extremely worried about him....after i die he will be shattered....you have to take good care of him....you also have to take care of abeer...abeer does not know that i still have cancer)", she replies

"Mom....i...----", i try to speak when abeer enters the room

"Gf.....mom.....come downstairs!!", abeer calls us

"Yeah comming", i reply

I hug vivaan's mother tightly....she is an angel....why god wants to snatch us away from her....
It will shatter all us into pieces....Abeer is still just a college student....it will take him years to being back to normal....and vivaan....well its even scary to think ....
If naina's dead can affect him so much then what will he do when his own mother leaves him...

I reach downstairs to find all the guest looking at me....vivaan comes next to me (him mother makes him stand next to me)

I look at him and then look away...

"You will know soon"

What is vivaan planning?
Is he planning something horrible?
I cringe as i try to visualise that extreme ways in which he can kill me...
Because it seems like a dark silent night just before a stormy night....
