Every step Together

2. Unstable Mind

Third person PoV :

"I have no idea what she is upto but she is behaving all normal and getting ready for the engagement". Rishi informed to someone on the call.

He quickly cut the call watching Tripthi's father approaching him.

"Is everything ok Rishi, I can see you and Alisha a bit zoned out", Mohan Krishna, father of Tripthi asked him.

"No uncle we are ok, but little bit tensed for the day as my sweet sister is going to get engaged" Rishi said those words with great difficulty with a smile on his face so that his Mohan uncle will get no other ideas

His smile seemed a bit forced to Mohan but he let it pass because he have many things to take care of. He quickly rushed away to do other things. Rishi exhaled all the breath he was catching up at the moment and went towards the room his sister is getting ready

"Alisha, How is she doing? Did she say anything?" Rishi asked his wife with a hope. 

"Why do you care Rish? She is behaving perfectly normal and not showing any signs, There is something running in her mind but why should we be worried about her when she is perfectly ready for whatever is coming". Whatever his wife has said now is true, they should not be worried about the happenings around

But he can't stay like that, He can't digest what is happening around and how can his Tripthi who can't hide a single expression on her face is putting up the act of being brave and all smiling? He have no answer for the hopeful messages popping up on his phone from the other side. He definitely can't answer the calls and break the little hope of the person waiting other side He glanced towards the happy photograph of his cousin lying there on the wall in which the smile is real and her eyes held the happiness.

He sighed and  went away to do the important work.

Tripthi's PoV :

"There is a spark in your eyes whenever you speak about something you like or something you have accomplished or something you wish to do, I can see the same spark in your eyes when you are with me which you try to hide as much as possible, but listen to me you have the greatest inability to hide a single expression, your eyes says everything. I will try my level best to never let the spark fade away from your brown orbs".. his words kept ringing in my head

I looked into the person in the mirror who has no spark left in her eyes blessed with dark circles around them, the eyes which always expressed my excitement towards every single thing have nothing to show now except the pain I don't want to show up..

"Akka, can you apply more kajal to my eyes"?

 "Applying kajal won't do any help to your eyes in hiding all the those things you are trying to hide and will further spoil your face when the tears slip out of those eyes," Akka literally whisper yelled at me and went away.

I know she is not at fault, I know no one is at fault. I am the one who should be blamed for the conditions, everyone here wants me to express whatever is running in my mind but I know all the reasons why I should not speak up and accept what is coming in my way.

'Tripthi wow you look very beautiful dear', with my mother's words I came out of my thoughts. I can see my mother smiling happily looking at me. You are really looking pretty, now come down fast we should go to the function hall, with that she went outside asking my Bhabhi and sister to bring me down

My cousins are trying hard to make me blush by taking my fiance name, I just passed a small smile at their antics. Bhabhi and Akka rushed me down and relatives passed their comments to which my ears paid no heed of.

People started going to the function hall," Are you ready shall we start?" Abhi Jiju asked me passing a smile

I gave a weak smile and they rushed me into the car. I can see Akka watching me from the rear view mirror, but I choose not to worry about that, where I have many more things to get worried about, in which the main thing is gaining control over my 'Unstable Mind'
