Chapter 5

Shivansh's Pov.

It's almost been a week, I haven't heard from Abhidnya. How rude can someone be?

I didn't visit mom and dad as I'm working on my new project. This is driving me crazy as it is a very important project and it benefits a lot to the company.

As I was working on my laptop I got a call from Rahul.

I was eagerly waiting for his call because I wanted to know about Abhidnya. I was curious to know what my parents saw in her.

"Hey man! I have mailed you the details. I know we were supposed to meet but I'm busy. I'm sorry but we will meet soon, I promise."

"It's okay, Rahul. We will meet soon. And thank you for helping me. Bye!"

I can't even blame Rahul for postponing our meet. He has a busy schedule and doesn't even have time for himself sometimes.

I quickly opened my emails to check the details.

"Abhidnya Mehra, 28 years old. Daughter of Shweta and Raj Mehra. Born and brought up in Mumbai. Completed her MBBS in Mumbai and Further studies in Edinburgh. Is one of the best neurologists in the world. And is also an anonymous donor of money to needy people."

Shocked is an understatement. I was very much surprised to know everything about her.

She has changed so much in the past 10 years. Not that she was some rich spoiled brat back then.

Abhidnya was someone who was the most responsible and mature person in our whole group.

If it wasn't because of her mistake we parted ways, we would've stayed together all these years.

But how can she be so naive? Our relationship meant nothing to her? How can she just vanish like it didn't bother her?

And why is she avoiding me now? Can't she just apologize?

She doesn't have to disappear always.

Abhidnya's Pov.

After discharging Swati Aunty. I decided to go home and rest.

Fuck! It's been a week I have hardly slept or even ate anything.

This is the only reason why my mom hates my profession. She thinks that I don't take care of myself, which now you can see is true.

But it's not my fault. I chose to be this busy so I can save the lives of people.

Dropping the keys of the car, I walked towards my room. I had a quick bath and ate fruits as I didn't have any energy left in my body to cook food.

I had fruits and went to sleep for some time. I'm used to this lifestyle but sometimes it stresses me out so much.

I woke up the next morning by the sound of a mixer. I headed towards the kitchen to find Naina Aunty preparing breakfast for me.

Oh god! I was supposed to wake up in the evening.

But I needed sleep.

I grabbed a seat at the dining table waiting for her to serve.

My stomach was crying for food now.

Naina Aunty quickly brought a plate filled with Poha and a glass of pomegranate juice.

She very well knew what I needed and whatnot. She has seen me grow as she was my caretaker and also househelp at my parent's house. But when I wanted to be self-reliant and shifted to my penthouse, mom insisted me to take Naina aunty with me. Just so mom won't be much worried about me. And I didn't have a problem with it so I agreed to it.

I had my breakfast and was about to get up from my seat, Aunty stopped me.

I sensed that my mom had told her everything. I waited for her to speak.

"Abhi, do you have any idea how worried your parents and I were? Shweta called several times to ask about you but I had no idea."

I told her the whole scenario. She knew Neeti, as she was my only best friend.

"How's Swati now?"

"She's fine, still recovering."

"Your parents are very pissed at you, especially your mom, as you left from the date without informing Shivansh."

Oh God! Shivansh!!!

"I'll get ready and visit them to apologize for leaving without informing."

She nodded.

I went upstairs and got ready. I know I did a mistake. I should've called and apologized to Shivansh and his family but I didn't have time for all of this.

I drove off to Mehra Mansion.

I reached and saw mom and dad sitting in the garden. I parked my car and headed towards them.

This time there was no hug. I know they are quite mad at me.

As soon I stood in front of mom, she just walked towards dad and sat beside him.

"Ask your daughter where she was for all these 7 days, I'm not talking to her".

Dad just gave me a sympathetic smile.

I sat in my knees in front of mom keeping my hands in her lap.

"Mom, I got an emergency call from the hospital. So I had to rush. And when I reached the hospital I found that the emergency case was of Neeti's Mom. She had a car accident which led to severe injuries and she needed me there."

"I'm so sorry for being mad at you. I just thought that you didn't like Shivansh and didn't want to get married. So you just disappeared. And how's Swati doing now?"

"No mom, it wasn't like what you thought at all. And I know I would have informed you guys but I got really busy. And yeah, Swati Aunty is fine now."

"Mom I want to apologize to Shivansh and his family. I should've informed him about the emergency but I didn't have time to answer any of his queries, so I just left." I continued.

Mom and dad just smiled at me. This time dad said, "Abhidnya, I'm very proud of you. Unlike anyone else you never run from your mistakes. You accept them and apologize, which is a great thing. You can pay a visit to Shetty's Villa and apologize, I know they'll understand."

Mom texted me the address and I left for Shetty's Villa.

Even though I know Shivansh, I never actually met his parents.

If Shivansh hadn't misunderstood back then maybe the situation would have been different today.
