[Aditi]
After waking up in the morning, I decided to prepare the break fast. It was some 5 in the morning. So I took the vegetables and started cutting them. I was in the mid of my work when I heard aunty say, "Arre beta.. What r u doing? ". "Aunty, woh.. I was preparing the break fast", I replied. "But u don't need to do this.. ", she said. "Aunty.. U all have done so much for me.. So can't I do this much? ", I replied. She smiled and nodded. I was done with it at nearly 6.30. I made myself a cup of coffee and drank it. "Beta.. U will have ur breakfast in a few minutes then why r u having coffee now? ", aunty asked me. Why everyone's eyes were on me?! "Aunty.. Woh.. I.. Have a habit of it", I said fumbling a bit. "She doesn't has any habit of it.. It is her breakfast", I heard Darshan saying it loud. Why did he have to wake up now?! Oh god!! "Beta, u woke up so early today", aunty said. "Yeah maa.. I was having some assignments to complete so I decided to cross check it. And maa.. Don't listen to her.. She is a very bad liar", he said. I felt embarrassed and went away from the place. I went to Mike. Of course, when I don't want anyone, the only one whom I require the most is Mike. "U know everything about me Mike.. What more shall I say u?? U know right how much I fear closeness, attachments and love.. I can't afford them at all.. I am not made for love..", I said with tears in my eyes which eventually rolled down my cheeks. He just came and licked my face. I smiled a bit and took it in my arms. "But when I am with u, Rajesh or Darshan.. Nothing bothers me.. But I have to get out of here.. I can't bear another heartbreak ", I said feeling a lump in my throat. I just sat there for several minutes when my phone rang. I picked up the phone. "Adi.. Where are you? R u still angry on me for what I said?? I am sorry for it.. Please come home.. Maa is so worried.. Please...", he said in a long stretch. "Relax Darshan! I am not angry on u.. Nd is aunty more worried about me or you? ", I asked playfully. "One must learn how to win conversation and read minds from u", he said and for the first time in the day, I. E,  in the morning I laughed. "Don't worry.. I am with Mike.. I am coming back in a moment ", I said. He cut the phone. I bid bye to Mike and went home. As soon as I stepped in Aunty approached me, "Beta where were u? I was so tensed.. R u okay?? Sit here and have ur breakfast". She said it in a long stretch and didn't bother to give me a chance to speak. She took my hand and made me sit comfortably on the dining table and served me food. While I was exclaiming not to give so much of it, she just kept serving more. Indian moms, u know!! I looked at Darshan once. He was smiling seeing all this. I was grateful to him for giving me a life.. A real and happy life, which I never thought I could regain. He owed me so much. But all I could return was nothingness. Here they r showering me with all the love they have and I can't return anything. "Where are you lost at times, beta? ", I heard aunty say and I replied, "Nowhere". "Start eating ", she said. At first I was doubtful if I could complete the food or not. After all it was prepared by me. "Maa.. Today the food tastes so different.. It's so good", Darshan opinioned and I smiled like a fool. "After all today it was made by Aditi", I heard aunty say. "Oh really.. Adi u know how to cook also? ", he raised a question mark face. "Yeah.. I know how to cook food also and how to implant them on ur face also", I snapped. "Why do u always say about beating and hitting me? ", he asked making an innocent face. "Coz u r my friend ", I didn't realise what I said. Suddenly aunty who was looking at us smiling, saw my hand. "Aditi what happened to your hand? ", she asked and Darshan also shifted his focus towards me or rather my hand. "Nothing aunty... While I was coming back.. There were some thorny bushes.. So my hand got brushed and a little cut", I said shrugging. "Oh.. U should have said it earlier.. Wait.. I am bringing medicines", she said. "No aunty.. At first u have ur breakfast then u will do what u want", I said and she just smiled. She sat back and we all had a calm breakfast. I once used to have such breakfasts which lasted just for a few time. Now it all came back, again.....
