Daksha's POV:
Leaving Sudha aunty's house, we both soon reached our flat. Aarna went to her room to get freshen up while I kept the food which was given by Sudha aunty for Aarushi in the kitchen when they were returning from her house.
I messaged Rishu, reminding her to eat the food once she would return from her office. After that, I also went to my room and got freshen up.
I was not feeling sleepy as I had slept till late evening. So, I grabbed a book for a quick read to pass my time. While I was halfway through the book, I heard a knock at my door.
Keeping the book aside, I went to open the door and saw Aaru who had changed into her pajamas, standing there with a quilt and a pillow in her hands.
When she saw that I had opened the door, she immediately sprinted into the room and jumped on the bed. She laid on the bed by keeping the pillow under her head and covered herself with the quilt.
After she got settled on the bed, she turned her head to look at me. I was still standing in the same position, holding the door’s knob with a dumbfounded look, not understanding what had just happened.
"Akka, why are you still standing there like a fool? Come and sleep. Why are you behaving like a guest in your room? Don't know when they will grow up. I always have to remind them of everything. I don't know how to handle these girls anymore, " she mumbled to herself.
She patted the space beside her on the bed for me as if she was doing a great favor by reminding me about being in my room and muttered the last part like a mother who got jaded by handling a bunch of ignorant kids.
"Good to hear that you know this is my room," I said with a sigh while stressing the last two words and started walking towards the bed after closing the door.
I picked up the book which I was reading previously and kept it in its original place. After turning the lights off except for the bedside lamp, I laid down on the bed.
"Akka, leave some space for Rishu too. She is going to join us in bed after she gets back from her office. She even insisted on making you sleep in between us, so she will get to cuddle you. Silly Rishu. Always behaves like a child," she said shaking her head.
"You don't need to lie. I know about her very well. She may be younger than you, but she is more mature than you. It must be you who forced her to do it. You are the only one who behaves like a kid in this home and I request you to stop spending more time with her, " I said upon catching her little lie.
"Why should I stop spending my time with Rishu? She is my innocent baby," she asked innocently, not understanding why I was asking her to spend less time with her Rishu baby.
"Yeah! That is the reason. She is too innocent to understand your tricks. So, spend less time with her. Else she might become a little fool like you, or worse, you might corrupt her brain too," I told her teasingly with a strict voice.
