It didn't budge.Her throat felt so dry she could barely speak. The room was sparsely furnished with just a bed and a chair.She heard footsteps. Someone was app

A large home with three levels stood in the Hauz Khas neighbourhood of Delhi. On the nameplate, it said: "Mathurs" Mr. Alok Mathur, a successful businessman, lived there with his family: his wife Ragini, their daughter Aarya, and their son Akash. Aarya was a software engineer and had been employed in Pune at one point. However, she handed in her resignation and moved back to Delhi about a month ago. She had beautiful eyes, a sweet and pure face. Most people would consider her charming. At this very moment, she was sipping her tea at the dining table. Ragini was rushing about the table, serving breakfast, and asking Aakash, a high school student of 16 years, to put away his mobile game. "Akash, step it up. If you don't put that object away, you'll end up being late to school." She said it in a severe tone. "Yes, mum just a minute." He responded while he was gazing down.

"Aarya, be cautious, you'll ruin your Mehendi," Asha said, breaking her trance. Looking at her friend, Aarya grinned. "Don't worry, Asha, I'll keep an eye on it." Asha came and sat near her looking at her Heena "Lovely design. Where's the groom's name?" Aarya laughed "Asha you know I hate these cheesy things." Asha said "Silly girl! did you see your wedding dress? It arrived from the boutique." Aarya smiled "Yeah it must be kept somewhere I saw it during the fittings". Ash
Affairs of the heart Chapter 3 - Second encounter
Because that intriguing stranger had vanished into the crowd, I concentrated on finding my buddies. I was cautiously walking, attempting to avoid the crowd of undulating bodies. One of the exuberantly dancing fellows suddenly knocked me off my feet. I fell backwards and closed my eyes, expecting to hit the hard floor, but was instead cradled by two strong arms. I opened my eyes, out of breath, and saw those deep blue goggles again. For a brief moment, my breath came to a halt. Not because of the impact, but because of THE IMPACT. I could have kissed him because his face was that close to mine. He had a half-smile on his face that was humorous. I was shivering for no apparent reason. After assisting me in standing up straight, he said, "Careful! I won't always be available to help you." "I thought you were gone," I said, a flush crawling up my neck. He responded "I'm not following you, so don't worry. I was heading the same way you were “. "No, I wasn't implying that... I mean, I h
