"Chotte this is not fair" Di whined entering into the room.

"What's not fair?" I questioned for the sake indulging myself on the file.

I heard her sigh.

"How can you deny khushiji?"

"When did I deny her?"

"You just did"

I sighed getting the reason of her presence on my room.

"Don't support her blindly di"

"I am not blindly supporting her. I just want to fulfill her wishes. And you're not helping but standing in the middle as a hindrance" She spoke like her di more than mine.

"She sent you here, Isn't she?" I asked straightly.

"That's not matter"

"Everything related to her matters me di. You please don't come inbetween this. I am not going to allow her this time" I told sternly dismissing the topic once for all.

She made faces and was going to accept defeat if only Khushi didn't enter into our room and into our conversation. Di gave her a apologetic look.

"Ask him di, why he is not allowing me?" Oh so Mrs. was angry. Let it be.

"Tell her that I am not her puppet to nod my head for everything she says"

She opened her mouth wide not missing her trademark before counter back "Tell him, I am an independent person who has every right to do whatever I wish"

"Tell her to remember if anything happens to her it's only me who's going to get affected"

"Tell him to think positive. Why would anything happen to me?"

I opened my mouth to retort back but di stole my time "Stop stop... Will you both just stop it? I can't take it. Uff.. Just do whatever you want. But please don't forget to close the door. Ok bye.."

She flew out of our room before anyone of us could speak to her. I stared at her in anger and her doe eyes also have the same emotions all set to scare me or say to melt me.

"You're not going that's final" I broke the painful silence.

"And I am going that's final" She declared stubbornly with a tap on the floor.

"Don't be stubborn Khushi"

"Tell me one valid reason for your denial and I'll change my decision"

Cupping her right cheek, I caressed her pinkish soft skin with my thumb "You're too Young to learn sword fighting baby" I coaxed her. It all started after she watched the movie Jodha Akbar where the heroine twirled and fought using the sword effortlessly.

She shoved my hands and pointed her index finger at me "Check your eyes Mr. Raizada, just because you call me with endearment baby doesn't mean I didn't attained enough age to learn all the things"

"It's not like that baby. You'll get injured and what is the need to learn sword fighting now?"

"Look arnavji, every girl should know self defence. I cannot expect your presence always if I stuck in any trouble"

"But what will you do with a sword. Look you cannot always carry a sword with you to help yourself. Small knife or your taekwondo pose is enough to rescue yourself from the trouble" I said in a convincing manner. She frowned "I'll think about it"

Uff.. Atleast she agreed to think.
