Her Secret Smile (#2)

Chapter- 15

15. This world is really very small since it is always ending up with you.

Next day Roshini woke at eight in the morning. She didn't go walking since she felt so tired. 

Her aunt asked her to be ready at five in the evening. Without having much work Roshini just passed the day by watching TV, cleaning her room and by sitting simply behind their house, looking at the tree and sky.

***

"Nidhi's parents were going to a marriage function in Kerala, so for a day, she is going to be alone in the house.

She felt too bored, and Varun too was busy with his work so she doesn't want to disturb him. She was thinking of a place to go with Varun, but there is an oscillation in her. Whether to go or not!!

They are not married to go for trips and all. But she badly wanted to be with him, by that way she can know more about him. Because Varun was like an ocean, he has so many things in him. He has a lot of experience with people and more importantly, Nidhi wanted to know what exactly he is thinking about her.

Her life is tied with him now and she has to clear her confusion before the more intimate progression of their relationship.

She took bath, cleaned the house and downloaded some movies and watched that in the entire day.

She didn't mind calling Varun and he also didn't showed up with his message or call.

When the clock strikes 4.30 pm Roshini changed into a black with golden Kurta and legging. She did half up, half down hairstyle using a clip, applying a light makeup she looked stunning.

Carrying her purse and mobile she stood in front of her house and waited for her aunt.

She showed up on her scooter and Roshini smiled brightly at her. After sitting behind her Roshini questioned her Aunt who they are to pay this much of money for home tutoring.

Her aunt asked whether she know Vikranth, the one owns the largest textile industry across India.

Roshini nodded her head as yes. She knew him, he was on newspaper, TV from time to time. He is also one of the richest people in India by recent reports.

"Yeah, I am tutoring his kids," she told and Roshini nodded again.

Her Aunt was one of the finest tutors that she knew and the most wanted teacher. She was awarded by the government last year for constantly providing good results to the students who were studying under her so that's why they have appointed her for home tutoring, Roshini thought but inside she felt a strange fear, will that kids behave rudely to me? Will they hear my commands and obey me.

It is only ten minutes ride from her house, to say just two stops away.

Her Aunt stopped her scooter before a big bungalow that was fully closed by a huge compound wall. Seeing her the security opened the gate and smiled. But he looked Roshini questioningly.

Roshini looked at the house and literally dropped her jaw to see the exterior architecture which is eye capturing. The garden was perfectly decorated and this house was one of the best house that she saw in her entire lifetime. Even on the internet, she didn't saw a beautiful house like this one.

She walked in and once they reached the entrance, she and her aunt removed their slippers before entering.

They were welcomed by a middle-aged lady, she is good looking and smiled warmly. From her appearance, Roshini concluded this must be Mrs. Vikranth.

She is really attractive, she must be her mom's age but looked so young. 

Money girl! Money, Roshini thought and smiled back like a very good girl.

"Oh you mentioned about his girl ah?" she questioned and came near them.

"What is your name?" she asked in a sweet tone.

"Roshini ma'am," she replied.

"Hey don't call me ma'am, call me aunty okay," she told to her.

Roshini felt relieved since she seemed to be a nice person. She turned to her aunt and she smiled in an assurance that everything going to be fine.

Mrs. Vikranth asked them to sit on the couch and asked her servant to bring some refreshments for them. 

Noticing her Roshini missed to look at the Interior works, she gazed around the hall. She felt like she is somewhere out of this world. Cause she never been in this rich surrounding before.

She felt little awkward to stare at the hall since Mrs. Vikranth was sitting beside them and talking with her Aunt.

"What you are studying Roshini?"

"Engineering Aunty"

"In which college?"

"Ah..." when she was about to tell her the answer a teenage boy and girl similar to appearance entered the hall in their school uniform.

They stared at Roshini like she is a big Villain to them. Roshini smiled at them but they didn't and looked at her with a skepticism.

"Hey kids, she is your new tutor," Mrs. Vikranth said and they almost glared at her.

Roshini gulped her saliva to see the deep dislike in their faces. But remained confident to show herself like she is ready for everything! 

Brave girl let's see.

"Roshini, he is Shiva and she is Lakshmi." Mrs. Vikranth introduced to her and Roshini said hi to them.

They just smiled lightly for that and headed upstairs. Roshini again turned her attention to Mrs. Vikranth. But when she is about to talk the servant lady came with coffee cups.

Roshini first hesitated to take the cup but her Aunt encouraged her. The taste of the coffee was great, that time Mrs. Vikranth phone started to ring. She moved to talk. That time,

"Roshini, don't hesitate to take things here okay and Meera was really a nice person so if you want to complain anything about the kids tell her. And about the kids, they are little audacious and make them listen to your words that's how a good teacher can survive okay," she told to Roshini in a silent tone and she just nodded her head.

So that lady is Meera, nice name Roshini thought and stared again at the hall. There is a photo of Mr. Vikranth Meera and with their two kids. But Roshini failed to notice the adjacent photo's where Siddharth was standing with his two siblings and smiling brightly when he was young. There are a lot of Siddharth pictures in the same hall, but she didn't notice them at all and busy thinking about how she is going to survive here.

Once Meera came back Roshini's Aunt said that she is going to leave and Roshini went with her to the outside.

"You know how to go home right?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Do you having money?" she asked after sitting on her scooter.

"Hmm," Roshini hummed.

"Just bear this for few months for this Aunt."

"Ah... Aunty what this bear thing, I will do anything for you. You go and... Ask Arjun to talk with me."

Arjun is her Aunt's son, who is four years older than Roshini. He is working in a software company in Chennai.

She nodded and left and Roshini walked back to the house. While looking at the parking she saw a similar bike which Siddharth used to come. But she tossed those thoughts away.

Whether only Siddharth having this bike in this entire world. Roshini even now stop thinking about him, she told to her.

Once she reached inside Meera asked Roshini to go upstairs since she is too busy talking with someone on the phone.

Roshini taking nervous filled steps headed up. But here lies the greatest question, there are five rooms in this which one she has to go. She heard a noise from the particular room near the stairs so she decided to go there.

It was Shiva's room and it is wide open. He turned off his video game on the monitor and looked at her. Roshini smiled and felt so awkward to talk with him.

"Shall we study?" she asked and smiled like a fool.

To her surprise, he beamed and came to her. "Akka (sister), we usually start studying at 6.00 pm. You go and stay in that study room for some time. We will come soon," he told.

"Oh okay," He guided her to the study room and it looked like a mini classroom. She sat on the small couch and took her mobile.

Today was the final exam for Siddharth, he must be happily enjoying with his friends, she thought.

She can't see him in this one month holiday, it is little sad but she needed to stop this growing love on him. Since she knew, in the end, it is going to end terribly!

Once she came out of that Siddharth thoughts her mind eventually thought about the plan on the money. She decided on buying some new dress for her brother since he is going to be doctor soon and he have to look smart.

Then she wanted to buy a gift for Nidhi since her birthday was coming in this month.

"Hey, today I am going to learn science," Shiva's voice startled her.

She immediately stood up and they looked her like 'what she is doing?'

They sat on the bench before her and stared at her blankly.

"Hi, my name is Roshini. I am going to be your temporary tutor."

"Oh... What you are doing Akka?" Lakshmi questioned.

"I am pursuing Engineering," she said.

"My brother also doing engineering," she exclaimed.

"Which stream?"

"Computer science."

"My brother too!" Shiva said.

"Which college?" Lakshmi questioned next.

"GCT."

"My brother also studying there." they both said in a unison.

"Oh, then what is his name?"

"Roshini?" someone called her.

Ah... This voice I know. It is him, she thought before turning.

Oh My God what I am going to do now?
