Chapter - 46 Mrs. Alice Arthur!!
Chapter - 46 Mrs. Alice Arthur!!
At morning...
Ruhi woke up and looked around and remember as she was in the car not in her home, she looked at her wrist watch. Its been 6:30. Then she glanced at Ernest who was still driving as looking straight on the road.
"Is he driving since last night?" Ruhi thought as gazing at him.
Ernest glanced at her when she was looking towards him and said,"You are really a sleepy head."
Ruhi doesn't say anything and turned her gaze towards outside the window as she got reach Delhi, her eyes gleamed as seeing outside view because she came first time outside of her city and thought,"I wish, choti maa give me permission to study here.so I would be studying here."
But she shook her hand abruptly and thought,"No Ruhi, Don't think like that, choti maa always thinks good for you. So why are you thinking like this??"
Ernest stared at her and asked,"what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking your head?"
"Nothing sir," she said and remembered her choti maa as she would be worrying for her and continued,"Sir can you give me my phone back now."
He hummed and took out her phone from his pocket and gave it to her while saying," Why are you worrying unnecessarily as your uncle would have told your family till now?"
Ruhi didn't say anything to him and hastily took her phone from his hand and dialled Reema number...
"Hello," said Ruhi when someone picked phone from other side.
"Hello, Ruhi" said Reema and continued,"have you reached Delhi?"
Ruhi eyes got wide as heard her and thought, "Did Chote papa tell her everything?"
"Ruh, why are you not saying anything?" asked Reema in worried tone.
"Woh choti maa—"
"Ruhi, I am very angry with you because you went to Delhi to see the National Gallery without informing me... If your chote papa hadn't told me anything, I would have died under stress, not seeing you in your room.."
"Huh? Choti maa... National Gallery?"
"Yes, National Gallery... Your chote papa told me that the bade Raja Sahib has sent you to Delhi with all your classmates because he wanted you all to go to Delhi and roam there and have fun and that's why they had organised that party... but dear, why didn't you tell me anything earlier and you didn't even take your luggage with you.. but I am relaxed because Kavya also went with you... then she will take good care of you..."
Ruhi eyes got wide as heard her as how could he tell a lie to choti maa about her Delhi trip... But she got understand as why her chote papa told a lie to her as her health is not good... So she also said nothing to her ahead and continued while smiling, "Choti maa, don't take too much stress for me as I am all ok here."
After hanging up, she wanted to know as how kavya got included in this mess. But she noticed a notification and read it,
"Ruhi, I know you are going Delhi with Davies sir on urgent basis... So relax I have took care of everything here and Reema aunt would not be worried for you as I have told her that I have also gone with you as taking a leave from my job."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
After reading, she dialled her number but her number was showing switched off and then she looked towards Ernest as who was also talking with someone on phone as he was asking some address.
After a while, they got reached that location. Ernest got off the car firstly and looked towards Ruhi.
Ruhi also got off the car and follow his lead.
Ernest asked an address as showed his phone to an old man who was walking through his stick, Old man got understand as he want to know the address but he didn't know as how to speak English so he looked towards Ruhi as she was not looking foreigner to him and said, "beta, mujhe english language bolni nhi aati, lekin mai yeh address jaanta hun."
(I don't know how to speak in english but I know this address.)
Ruhi heard him and asked in hindi,"pls, bataiye uncle, yeh address kaha ka hai."
(Pls tell us, uncle, where is that address?)
He smiled and replied,"tum log yahaan se seedha jao aur ant mai daaiyen mud jaana."
(You both of them go straight from here and turn right at the end, and there's your address.")
She smiled and said as looking toward that uncle," Thank you, uncle."
He also smiled back and went from there.
Ernest looked at her and said with frowned brows,"what he said?"
"We have to walk straight from here and we will turn right in the end and we will get reached at your address."
"Ok, let's go,"said Ernest and headed towards that way while Ruhi was staring at him as why is he looking anxious to her?
....
Ernest reached at house with Ruhi and looked around and noticed that, that building was looking old.
He pressed the Door Bell.
Ding Dong!!
In a few moments, door opened, as an old lady opened that door who's right leg was fractured and she asked as stared at both of them, "Who do you want to meet?"
"Mrs. Alice Arthur," Ernest replied rapidly without wasting a second.
"Sorry, but she didn't live here," she said and was about to close her door but Ernest stepped in her house before she close the door.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you coming in my home forcefully?" She wobbled as coming towards him but Ruhi held her hand on time and save her from falling.
"Listen, Mrs.kamaljeet. I am not in mood to joking around with you so pls tell me where is she?"
"I really don't know, whom you are talking about? So now get out from my home!!"
"So you will not tell me the truth....Huh? So just wait!!" He said as took out his phone from his pocket and dialled some number.
"Davies!!"
"How dare you to yelled at my friend?"
A voice came abruptly...
Ruhi got shocked as it's a first time to her as somebody was yelling on him.
"Granny!!" He whispered as looking towards her.
Alice came near him, held his hand and took him from there while Kamaljeet and Ruhi was looking at each other.
....
"What are you doing here?" asked Alice as glaring at him as leaving his hand.
"Granny! Dad is worried for you as you are not ready to go from here? So I came here to take you back," he said as holding her hand.
"Ernest!" she yelled as snatching her hand back from his hold and continued," firstly you tell me, How dare you to yelled at my friend?"
Ernest looked at her and said,"Granny, she was not telling me your whereabout? So I am just asking from her..."
"Ernest Edward Arthur, listen very carefully. I will not endure next time if you insult my any friend ... Got it?"
"Yes, Granny, but now let's go," he said as stretching his hand.
"No, I am not going with you anywhere."
"But, why Granny?"
"Because my friend need me here as she has no one..."
"But Granny, I will arrange a numbers of maids for her. Then you can go with me, right?"
"Ernest, she will not accept it."
"But, how could you stay with her as you can see there is nothing for your comfortance so how can you stay in this mess."
"Ernest, I know there is nothing as per my lifestyle but do you know she is my good friend who has studied with me in college and she was a great student inspite doing some part times jobs and now my friend is suffering from loneliness...As we know, time doesn't stays the same for everyone, so same things happened with her because she has lost her family and her children in an accident but thankfully she got saved...So thats why I am here to support my friend..."
"Dadi we can help her financially or she can stays with you in our country, then why are you living with her?"
"Don't worry Ernest, we will go next month as she want to live sometime in this house and I already inform that to Edward but that stubborn person doesn't listen me, and yet sent you here..."
....
"Who's that man, dear? asked kamal jeet.
"Aunt, He is my boss..."replied Ruhi.
"Ok, but he doesn't a manners as to how to talk with elders?"
Ruhi said nothing to her and thought as looking towards that room door where both of them has gone a while ago," what is the relation between these two?"
"Where have you got lost dear?" she said as placing her hand on her shoulder.
"No where, Aunt."
"Dear, why are you wearing party wear clothes? You can change your clothes if you want to change here."
"But Aunt, I have no clothes," she muttered as looking around but kamaljeet heard her.
"You haven't brought your clothes? Why??"
"Aunt, Actually I didn't know that I am coming here."
"Means??"
"Who are you?" a voice came from behind of Ruhi....
