I enter the living area to see Ansh waiting for me along with Arya. I greet them"Hey people, you are on time" I smile at both of them.

"Wow Aashna, you are looking pretty" Ansh compliments me.

I blush "Thank you Ansh. So should we start" I look to see personal servant wheeling Ansh.

We are about to leave when my younger sister Ruhi comes happily humming with her arms in arm with Jai" Di where are you leaving all dressed up"

"Actually Ansh and Arya wanted to see the sunset so taking them to the nearby river, where I usually go" I inform her.

Ruhi squeals "Oh wow, I have never seen, please me and Jai also will come along"

I look at her " Ruhi we have to walk for a longer distance. Can you manage?"

"Ohh DI, don't worry I will manage"

"I m lucky dude ha, I m going to accompany two pretty ladies today, "Ansh says making me smile at him. Jai is just too rude, he is least interested to know what is going long but he accompanies us.

After walking for about half an hour, we reached the destination. It's the most beautiful place I have known"Wow Aashna, it's really beautiful, so peaceful and divine" Ansh says, his eyes are all glitteringly seeing the beautiful paradise in front of him. I smile and then accidentally I look at Jai, who is staring at me. I feel uneasy looking at him, I avert my eyes, there is something dangerous and wild about him and I m sure to stay away from him. Not much dwelling on Jai. I see at Ruhi, who is bored, her expression speaks louder than words.

"Ruhi baby, why don't you show Jai around our garden, I m sure you both will enjoy the time. Don't you get bored with old people like us? I m sure my company will bore you both" I smile at both of them.

I look at him and clearly he Is pissed" Miss Aashna, if you find my company unbearable, please tell me directly" I know I have stepped in the wrong shoes.

"Sorry Mr.Jai, I didn't mean to offend you, Ruhi was bored, and not everyone shares my interests, and she dragged you all along so I through"

He says"whatever" I know I have made him extremely angry and I look In another direction.

"Di, I m moving back. Jai are you coming with me?"

"No Ruhi, you go, I will come with my brother and niece" Ruhi runs along and we are watching the beautiful sunset.

"Aasty, please carry me, my legs are paining," Arya says and pouts.

I laugh at her expression"sure honey" I lift her up and place her on my hips. She circles her chubby arm over my neck.

"Arya beta you are bothering Aashna, you will make her dress dirty and she is tired too," Ansh says.

"It's okay Ansh, it's just a piece of cloth, I will laundry it, and carrying Arya will be my privilege" I smile at Ansh and he smiles back like we have some sort of understanding.

"It's okay brother, look at her man, she is one hell sturdy lady, not delicate like Ruhi.she can carry weight" he smiles evil at me, he is acting like he has won some game by bringing in my weight. I know such people, they want to just bully people.

I know he is trying to intimidate me, by telling all these things so I do the opposite"Thank you Jai" I smile at him and I carry Arya along with me, where we silently watch the sunset. During our regular days, we are trapped in our city limits. Only when we come to places like these where nothing else matters except the beautiful nature around us and the connection one feels.

Arya who is sitting on my lap watching the sunset, we are staring out beyond the mountains and watching the sun slowly disappear, I become present enough to only realize my surroundings. Some days in a year, you sometimes want to witness the simplicity and beauty of nature apart from all the negative vibes coming across life. All four of us return to our farmhouse, with me, Arya and Ansh talking about random things and Jai who is uninterested in any of our talking, of course, everyone has their topic of liking. I realize that Ansh is a very good listener, and gives responses whenever required, I must say I m quite flattered by Ansh.

As I enter, I see preparation is going on for some party for the night, I know I won't be participating, I m dead tired and hell it will bore me too.

"Ansh, Arya and Jai, it was fun today. Thank you for a wonderful evening"

Both Ansh and Arya thank me as well but Jai again being ignorant walks away. I wonder what have I done to get him in a pissed off mood.

"Aashna, I will see you at night for the party" I look at Ansh who is telling me.

"Sorry Ansh won't be joining you all, I am really tired, you have fun, good night, take care" I walk away towards my room.

The event of today has tired me, so I take a long deep hot shower, it feels so fresh and good. I hear the loud music going on downstairs, I m sure people are having a lot of fun. I don't want and don't feel the need to be around people who mean nothing to me. Why would I participate in such an event when I can enjoy all by myself. It's hot outside so I wear knee-length nightie with thin straps, carry my favorite book outside and sit on the comforting sofa, and start reading under the light. The cool air touching my skin feels nice, I hug myself with both my arms and randomly look around, to see jai staring at me from the other balcony. Ohh it was jai then in the morning the other day. Not making it more awkward, I try to make friendly conversation.

"Hey, Mr.Jai, I though you will be downstairs at the party" I smile at him. But I guess he is in another mood. He is openly staring at me, and that is making me really uneasy. I know I m wearing revealing clothes but my sister and other people roam around semi-nude downstairs.

" Tell me do you often entertainment your guests dressed up like this, teasing people with your lush body and indirectly inviting them for a free ride" I m shocked listening to this vulgar language.

He continues"Is it intentional or where you all high almighty all moring to make me notice you. I have sure noticed you" he looks at me with a sexy grin" You're not my type but I can try you for on the night. So your room or mine?"

My temper taking over me, "What the hell Mr.Jai, it is you who are invading my privacy, my home. I was busy with my readimg. I never invited you and sure as hell won't entice you. So come out of your dream world and learn some manners to speak to the opposite gender. I m not in your league of girls. So do me a favor and get lost" I storm inside my room, with hot tears rolling on my cheeks feeling disgusted with what jai made me feel. I tie the robe tight to my body, cover all curtais and decide to avoid jai for the next 13 days
