KAIRA FF: ♡♡ PYAAR KE LIYE ♡♡[✔]

《21》

SIYA'S POV

All of us Goenka kids were playing ludo in the living room. Just then, dad came back from office. He handed over his bag to Naira.

"Hi babe", Nidhi came from the bedroom and hugged dad.

"Hi", dad replied releasing the hug.

Dad looked at us and walked towards us.

"What are you guys doing with so much concentration?", dad asked approaching us.

"Daddy", Ahana climbed on dad.

"Yes....my baby. I missed you so much", dad said kissing her forehead.

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"You guys continue...I need to finish my homework", I said getting up and walking towards the stairs.

"Siya wait", dad said from behind.

I turned back.

"I have a surprise for you all", dad announced.

"Yeahhhh....surprise", Ahana started dancing.

Dad chuckled.

Dad kept an envelope on the table.

"What's this babe?", Nidhi asked.

Naira came from the kitchen.

"Ticket to Maldives", dad announced.

Everyone else's face lit up except mine and Aatish's.

"Why?! I'm going to boarding school....so is this a celebration that I'll be out of the house?", I taunted.

Dad looked at me surprised.

"I'm sorry but I'm not -", dad interrupted me in between.

"Oh come on Siya!...why do you always take everything negatively?....I thought we should have a family vacation before you leave the house....that's Why I planned for this", dad explained me calmly.

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not interested....I'm not going", I declared.

"Neither me", Aatish continued.

Everyone became silent. Dad was getting impatient, it was clearly visible.

I and Aatish went upstairs to my bedroom.

------------------------

NAIRA'S POV

Aatish and Siya walked away.

Kartik sighed and walked towards his bedroom. Nidhi followed him.

Ahana tugged on my skirt. I looked down at her.

"Aren't we going to Maltives?", Ahana mispronounced.

I chuckled and bent in front of her.

"We are sweetheart...now go and eat your dinner with Sahil bhaiya....Sahil...take her", I instructed Sahil and he walked away with Ahana.

I need to explain these kids!

I climbed the stairs and went to Siya's bedroom. Siya and Aatish were playing carrom.

I knocked on the door.

"Can I come in?", I asked.

"Yes", Siya and Aatish replied.

I walked in and sat beside them.

"If you're here to take dad's side then we are sorry, we aren't going to listen", Siya said aiming for the queen.

I sighed.

"Kids....look at me...Please ", I requested them.

They stopped playing and looked at me.

I sighed.

"See kids....don't be too hard on your dad...he has already been through so much", I explained them.

"And what about us? We aren't torturing him wantedly...it's just our reaction to his action", Aatish said.

"He has never felt sorry for us. He never thinks about us. He only cares and thinks about his girlfriend", Siya continued bursting out all the anger built up in her.

"It's not like that Siya...He cares about you...He loves you all so much...you are just unable to see his love because of the anger you have for him", I again tried to explain them.

"He always scolds me...He is sending me away to boarding school to get rid of me...He slapped Aatish....He has totally changed", Siya protested.

"He is not Siya....He is not changed..He is your same old dad whom you loved so much...he's sending you away to boarding school...there must be some valid reason behind it...he can never send you away for no reason...do you know? The previous night he seemed so distressed...He was talking about you the whole night.....when Siya was little she did this, she did that....it wasn't easy for him to make such a big decision....and after he slapped you Aatish, he regretted it alot...I know all this because I was there with him through all this....Please don't punish your dad like this....He doesn't deserve it....give him a chance to prove himself", I explained them trying my level best to make them understand.

They looked at me with their big brown eyes.

"Please", I requested them.

They continued to look at me.

KARTIK'S POV

I was in the study sitting in front of my laptop to cancel the tickets. I thought it will be a nice family trip, but all went in vain. I was about to click on cancel that Aatish and Siya entered.

I looked at them.

"What's wrong?", I asked them.

"We are ready to go to Maldives", they said in unison.

Whoa!!Where did this come from?!

"Uh....Okay...fine", I couldn't find words to speak.

"When's the flight?", Aatish asked.

"Day after tomorrow", I replied.

They nodded and walked away.

I got up from my seat, completely surprised.

Miracle!

Just then, I saw Naira passing by.

My miracle maker....

I caught her hand and pulled her towards me, pinning her to the wall.

She was surprised by my action. There was an inch distance between us. Our noses slightly touched. We could feel each other's breath. I was again lost in her mesmerizing dark brown almond shaped eyes. Those rosy lips.....

Just then, there was a 'ting' on my phone.

Bloody notifications!

Our intense eye lock broke and we came back to our original positions. Naira adjusted her dress and looked up at me.

"Uh...I'm So sorry...I didn't mean to-", I stuttered but she interrupted me in between.

"It's okay", she replied.

"By the way....thank you so much", I continued.

"For what?", she asked.

"I was about to cancel the tickets but you made everything alright. Thanks for making Siya and Aatish understand Naira. I mean....you do it so easily? How do they listen to you so easily, without any tantrums....they are never so sympathetic towards me", I complained.

"Explain them in their way. They are teenagers. If you scold them, they'll surely do the opposite things", Naira explained.

"How do you know so much? I mean....is this knowledge free of cost or should I pay?", I joked.

Naira chuckled.

"Come on....the dinner' s ready..let's eat", she said.

I nodded and followed her.

PRECAP: THE TRIP STARTS....
