31 Hiding a Girl

New York,

It was 18th today.

Ash will be having his exams on 21st. Ira decided to visit Ash.

She went to the college but didn't meet her Dad's acquaintance. He was a professor at the University.

That man hid the fact of Ash dropping out of college in last life, She believed he was also mixed with James. She inquired around the university's dorm and found that Ash lives in a room he rented nearby. Noting the address, She directly visited Ash's room next morning

Ringing the doorbell, she gave out a sigh. She hesitated, wanted to take a step back but closed her eyes to take a breath of fresh air. She was scared. Tried to turn but the thought about Viv who was waiting in the car cheered her.

If she can change her own fate with Viv;

She will Change her brother's fate too.

With a newfound determination. She smiled.

The door opened,

A handsome man with messed up hair appeared.opened the door.

"Sis.....!"

Ash was shocked by her sudden appearance in US at his door.

"What are you doing here?" he said pushing the door he just opened out.

"Let me in. I will explain"

When Ira tried to barge In, Ash still closing the door, stood with his arms stretched holding the frame of the door.

Ira paused. Giving him weird look she said, "Why are you behaving like you are hiding a girl inside."

Ah!

"Well, there is!" Giving up the struggle, Ash said.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Ira asked,

"Yes"

"Do you love her?"

"Yes," he confirmed.

"Let me see. When did you grow so big?" Ira said playfully Giving him a Fist bump...

....on his face.

"If that is so there is no reason to hide. You are a mature man now It's the right age for love. I will support you"

"Really!" Ash looked at her with a little doubt, a little anticipation.

"Really!" she gave a lovely smile.

"Then, dad will listen to you." he sighed in relief

"If she is good. I can convince him too."

"Don't worry. Go inside Tell her to get ready. I am waiting to meet her"

It required a lot of courage, simply even talking to Ash.

The relationship between them now was so contrast to one in the past where their relationship has a dropped to freezing point, never talking without arguing.

Right now even if a nagging one Ash still considered her as his sister. Maybe he can open up more.

She has to gain his complete trust first.

After a while, the door opened.

Ira and Viv entered.

"Brother in law is here too," Ash asked.

"Obviously, he was parking the car."

"Why are you here? Aren't you pregnant?"

"Is this what you ask a pregnant sister who traveled from so far? Further who says a pregnant lady can't travel?"

"No, I was just worried."

"You worried about me? I know what you are worried about! Just bring your girlfriend. I will not eat her!"
