Chapter 6

khushi marched into annika's room and knocked on the door thrice and she screamed while crying

Annika: go away, leave I don't want to talk to any body

Aarti and anuj came and aarti said

Aarti: khushi didi why is Annika didi crying?(she tugged on her dupatta)

Anuj: obviously because she is upset for not going to the Party

Khushi then pushed the door open and walked inside the room and Annika said

Annika: I thought I told u to leave and go

Khushi came and sat next to her and said

Khushi: I spoke to your mama he said u can go but u have to be back by 11

Annika: I don't want to go, its no use I cant I have nothing to wear I wish mom was here

Khushi: that's no problem we can organize some thing now what is the theme Anuj: Indian

Khushi: perfect I have a pretty lengha u can borrow that Annika: your lengha why would u lend me your lengha

Khushi: because ur my friend and that's what friends do share stuff

Annika: I am not ur friend, ur just a house keeper who s here to do what mama is suppose to do,(she yelled while crying)

Khushi: look I am here to take care of you three, ur happiness is my happiness

Anika: we can never be happy (she said angrily)

Khushi: and why is that (she said with a question mark)

Annika: because our mother is dead u don't know what's that's like (she screamed out)

Khushi: yes I do, incase u don't know my parents died too when I was young, I am adopted by my aunt and uncle, I too know what its like (she said loudly with sad expressions shocking the children)

Aarti: u also don't have a mama papa

Khushi: no I don't but its ok, even if they are not with me I am fine, my adopted parents love me as their own daughter and that's why I am lucky, I cant stop living my life just because they aren't there, if my parents knew that I was not living my life because of their death they wouldn't like it one bit, think of it would your mother like it she knew that u weren't enjoying your life

Anuj: (in a sad tone) no she wouldn't, mama always said that we should be happy all the time she sai

if we were happy then good things will come to us and if we were sad then we would always be sad

Khushi: Annika, if u want to go to the party then go enjoy yourself don't be disheartened and sad, your mother would love to see you enjoy yourself….

Annika: its no point I have nothing to wear and besides I am not pretty like the other girls or like you

Khushi: (dragged her to the mirror and then said) look at yourself in the mirror and see how beautiful u are, you look like a princess and you are one,

Annika: but (she said hesitantly)

Khushi: but nothing come on come with me (she dragged her)

She took Annika to her room and then opened her cupboard, and removed a beautiful blue lengha with

gold work on it, it was a beautiful backless piece she handed it to her and then said

Khushi: go change

Annika took the lengha and went inside still sulking away and she went to change, anuj and aarti were lying down on khushi's bed waiting for Annika to come out of the bathroom, The door opened and she walked out, her hair was in a messy bun, as she wore the backless blouse and the blue flowing skirt she came and stood in front of khushi and then said

Annika: (looked in the mirror and then said) see I look horrible and ugly,

Khushi: u can’t go like that She opened her bun and her shinny long black tresses came falling down, she took the brush and combed her hair removing the knots out of it, then she made Annika sit, Annika was all confused, she then applied some make up on her face starting with foundation, then blush on and, a dash of kajal and a beautiful shade of brown lip stick, she slipped on beautiful glass bangles in shades of turquoise and gold, then she put on a beautiful chain with a nice pendant one which was simple and for the finishing touch she put some gold jhumka's

Khushi: there your ready, as Annika saw herself in the mirror she was so stunned to see herself

Aarti: wow didi u look hot, (she said cutely)

Anuj: ya u don't look like Annika didi at all

Annika blushed away, and then khushi said

Khushi: look at u your beautiful just like a princess; every guy will have eyes on u today,

Annika blushed,It was around 8: 00 Clock everyone was sitting the hall talking, the arnav was there too, and so was anuj and aarti, they were sitting and chatting when she khushi came down and said

Khushi: can I have everybody's attention?

They all looked at her

Mami: hello hi bye bye, what is happenings

Nani: khushi betiya all ok

Arnav and akash looked up confused and ratna was curious to see what is going to happen

Khushi: ya naniji everything is fine, I have something to show u all

Ratna: what is it

Khushi: (turned aroundand said) annika come out

Slowly Annika came out, she looked beautiful in that lengha she was looking stunning, as she came out everyone was shocked to see her, no one said a word and then Annika said

Annika: see I told u I look horrible

Akash: anni u look beautiful, I cant believe its u (he said with shocked expressions)

Mami: hello hi bye bye, Annika u looks so beutifuls, smarts and very hotwa

Anuj and aarti started laughing and then nani said

Nani: annika betiya u look like an angel I cant believe its you

Ratna: (came to her and did some nazar to her and then said) tumko kisi ki nazar na lage

Everyone praised her, arnav looked at his niece and was shocked beyond any reason he could believe this was the same girl who was a total wreck, she looked at him expecting him to shout at her and so she said

Annika: I know u think I look horri… (He interrupted her when he showed his hand out and said)

Arnav: u look like ur mother today

Annkia was shocked she couldn't believe her mama was talking to her and that to complimenting her, she would fight with him so much that she forgot that he was nice as well,

Ratna and nani smiled at this they were happy to see the little gesture that took place, it was small

but it was a start Arnav looked at khushi

and then said

Arnav: 11 o clock she has to be back, and remember if u don't have a her back on time its your head on the line Khushi nodded, and then ratna said

Ratna: go betiya have a blast at the party

Annika left to go with khushi, who dropped her to school
