ESCAPING THE INESCAPABLE

CHAPTER 3

VIVAAN'S POV

i was in my study room when i heard the knock , i allowed that person to come in , and martha aunty came in with a hot glass of milk ..i smiled and kept the file back on the table

"what happened aunty ,you are still here i thought you left " i asked her because everyday she leaves after i come back from office ...she just gave me the glass and sat on the chair . 

"child actually my sister is very ill and her daughter needs to go back to her uni , since her vacations are now over  , so i have to go and take care of her" she was worried , it was clearly written on her wrinkled face ,so i  allowed her but then she started fidgeting with her finger.

"what happened aunty , is there anything that i can do ...wait i'll transfer some money in your account" i said but she refused with a smile . 

"no child , i don't need money , it's that i won't be able to come back for the next two months " she said and i watched her with wide eyes but then i calmed myself.

"ok when are you leaving" i asked

"next week" she told me and i just nodded , now how would i manage everything , aunty martha used to pick up ish from school and then took care of him until i come back , now what would i do , i can't trust anyone easily with ish .

"vivaan why don't you get married son, you also need someone to love you and take care of you ..and think of ishaan he too would get someone who can love him like a mother" she said , i know she was concerned for both me and ishaan. 

"i know aunty , but in today's world , no girl would love ishaan like her own child , heck they don't even want kids now a days ...and even if someone wants to marry me even after knowing about ishaan ,they would only marry me for my money ..and i don't want any of it ..so i think i am better off without anyone" i explained and she just nodded knowing that i was right at my place  .

KHUSHI'S POV 

"good morning Dr. khushi" i was in my cabin checking upon some reports when i heard that cheery voice . 

"oh good morning dr. Mathews" i greeted him back , dr. mathews is a very cheerful person in his early 50's , even though he is the most senior doctor here , he isn't egoistic and very down to earth . 

"so how is everything going " he asked taking a seat 

"first class doc " i chirped but then smacked myself for what i said " i mean everything is fine " i corrected myself   

"first class huh ...i liked it"  he said laughing it off and i just laughed along 

"so actually i was here because i want you to visit , st. stefans school today , they are celebrating parent's day today , so they want all the students to get a complete health check up " he said i looked at him confused .

"are you talking about that st. stefan's school where all the business tycoon's and celebrities kids study " i asked him and he nodded . 

"i groaned internally"  why do i have to go there, i don't have any problem with the kids but the teachers there, they gets on my nerves and i hate them , last time when i went there with my neighbour for her kid's admission , they were all so high and mighty of themselves as if they weren't teaching kids but gods themselves . 

"c'mon don't make those weird faces kiddo and go " he teased and i pouted .

"ok fine , i'll go ...by the way when do i have to reach there" i asked him 

"hmm it's already 10 am , so i think you should be there in half an hour" he said and my jaw dropped 

" i didn't expect this from you old man , you should have atleast told me this last night , now i'd be late ..god they would think i am so insincere" i ranted picking up my things and then shoving it in my bag . while that wicked man just kept laughing . 

"don't worry i'll tell aunt maria , that i saw you eating icecream in your cabin " i said smirking and his laughing session stop , he glared at me and now it was my chance to laugh. 

"you sneaky little brat " he huffed and scrunched his nose like a little kid 

"by old man " i kissed his cheek and then left , he smiled and nodded . 

when it was my first day here , i was hella nervous , everyone used to treat me like an outcast but then it was dr. mathews who had cheered me up saying that they were just jealous of my accomplishments , he said that i reminded him of his daughter who died few years back in a car accident , he then introduced me to his wife  lisa winters , a wonderful and sweet lady she is , in the first meet itself she too started treating me like her own daughter and then my parents became the couple's favourite .. 

i drove to st. stefans , thank god that it wasn't that far away , as soon as i parked my car , my eyes widened looking at the parking lot ...what am i in some car showroom or a school ...ok what am i even saying , this is the place where THE RICHEST KIDS study ...i rolled my eyes and was about to take another step when something bumped into me....or i guess someone .
