Under the Moonlit Sky. Nav K. Gill
a hole right through me!
“Ekant,” came Jas’s soft voice, “stop hassling Esha. There is no need for her to do any work around here. She is visiting us, and we have servants who are paid to help out. Esha, here is your tea, and please do not mind him. Ekant can get carried away at times.”
I quietly took the teacup from Jas as she gave Ekant a stern look. This guy couldn’t even have one decent conversation with me. It was time now to be direct, so I put down my cup and looked at him again. However, before I could even open my mouth, Ekant tossed his spoon on the table, pushed his plate away and stormed out of the room. This guy was impossible!
“What in Waheguru’s name is going on here so early in the morning?” Dhadhi asked as she carefully made her way into the room.
“Oh, Dhadhi ji, nothing to worry about. Just some talk between a brother and sister,” Jas explained, fetching tea for Dhadhi.
It was more like an attack on a sister.
“Esha, you are awake early today? Are you okay, child?” Dhadhi asked feeling my forehead.
“I’m fine, I just thought I’d ask Ekant today about travelling to Kiratpur. I’ve been listening to the news reports, and for days now, it’s been really calm. I think it’s safe, but before I could even bring up the topic, Ekant got all worked up and stormed outta here.” I slumped back into my chair and drew a long breath. “Dhadhi, that guy has some serious issues. I think he hates me.”
“He does not hate you,” Dhadhi reassured, caressing my cheek. “He is your older brother. It is expected that he will behave in an overprotective manner.”
“He wasn’t being overprotective, Dhadhi. He was being plain rude!” I cried out.
“Now, Esha, I am sure it was not his intention. So you say that things seem safe now?”
“Yes.”
“Then I will speak to Ekant, okay?” she offered.
I could feel my eyes widening. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I exclaimed. I was relieved she would be taking over what had become a most stressful task.
