Dhruv
******
"Seriously, a friendly date?" Namit asked in disbelief.
"I had to make her agree so I told her, it's a friendly date," I replied scratching the back of my neck.
"And the award for the best proposal goes to Mr.Dhruv Kapoor," Arjun said dramatically.
"Ok, ok, guys enough. We don't have much time. You have messed up with the proposal and now don't mess up on the date." Saying this Rohit went with Arjun and Namit to make the arrangements. Riddhi was at Saavi's place as she wanted to make her ready for the date.
Jai and Nikhil were busy making other arrangements and here I am getting nervous. Is it normal to be nervous on the first date, I thought. I couldn't even ask anyone as none of my friends has ever gone on a date with someone. I just hope everything goes well and I don't mess up anything.
Taking a long breath, I decided to look something good to wear. I checked all my clothes but couldn't find anything good to wear.
Dhruv******Had I ever been told by someone before, that waiting for someone was not easy, I would have mocked him, but now I realize, it's indeed not a cakewalk.I have been waiting for my muffin from last half an hour and I don't know why am I being anxious.Maybe because I think that there are chances that she might reject my proposal. Even if she rejects my proposal, she will still be the reason for my smile, at least she will be with me, even if it means, as a friend."Dhruv, calm down. Stop pacing as it won't reduce the distance between yours and Saavi's home.""Namit is right dude. Arjun and Riddhi will soon come with her. Why are you getting so anxious?"Namit and Rohit were right but this feeling of anxiety was not leaving me. I was feeling the sudden urge to see her. I had no idea what the hell was wrong with me.Without wasting any more second I called Arjun but he didn't respond. I kept calling him but after a few

Dhruv******As always I got up before my alarm beeped. Sometimes it feels, it's my job to wake up my alarm.What a bad joke it was. Mr.Chatterjee's company is leaving bad effects on me I guess.Mr. Chatterjee is my driver. He is Rana Uncle's relative. Rana Uncle has retired from his work now and has opened a poultry farm along with a general store in India. His business is going quite well. We often talk on the phone, and he takes tips from me regarding his business. It feels like yesterday only, when he used to teach me driving, and now he is learning the business from me.Sheela Aunty has opened a small restaurant and its working very fine. Well, it should be, after all, she is such a great cook. I have learned cooking from her only.Wearing my black hoody and grey sweatpants, I went out of the house for jogging.The black clouds were hovering and thunderstorms were loud enough to scare anyone. The rain has not started yet but it c
Dhruv******I was having breakfast when my phone beeped indicating a message. When I opened it I found grandpa's message. He had sent the address where I have to go during lunch to meet some Mr. Awasthi and his daughter whose name I don't even remember.This time there is no escape as grandpa is so determined that if I will not attend the lunch he will bring them to my office. I have to think of something before grandpa makes me ruin someone's life.With that thought running in my mind, I completed my breakfast and got ready in my normal clothes which were neither too fancy and also not too bad. I don't have a wish to impress those people grandpa is making me meet today.I don't have a wish to impress those people grandpa is making me meet todayAs I went out Chatterjee uncle was already waiting for me outside the car. "Good Morning Sir.""Good Morning Chatterjee Uncle and how many times do I have to tell you that please call me Dhru
Dhruv******'Is another Kapoor ready to get hitched?''What's cooking between the famous industrialist Dhruv Kapoor and the newbie painter Vishakha Awasthi?''Looks like the wedding bells are to be rung for another Kapoor.'These were the headlines of every newspaper in London. I and Vishakha were the hot topic of the town which none of us wanted. Reporters were outside my house waiting for its prey which was me by the way. I was regretting my decision of listening to grandpa and going for lunch yesterday.It's not like I can't handle these reporters, but the problem is I have never dated anyone and was never linked to any other girl, so now the reporters have got something about me, they won't leave me in peace till they don't find any other topic which is more exciting than my dating life.My phone was constantly ringing and I was in a state where I couldn't decide whether to handle the reporters first or my friends who reached my
Arjun******I woke up at my usual time and went to check up on Dhruv but found the room empty. I thought he might be in the washroom but he wasn't. When I was going out to check other rooms, I saw a sticky note on the table beside the bed.'Thanks for the last night and sorry for troubling you.'----DhruvWhy did it sound like that she was a girl whom I helped? Which guy writes, "Thanks for the last night"What the hell am I even thinking? Looks like I need to stop watching the Korean shows my dad makes me watch these days. Shrugging away all the weird thoughts I called Chatterjee Uncle and he told me Dhruv was at home. I decided not to disturb him as he will surely need some alone time.******Dhruv******I woke with a throbbing pain in my head. It felt as if someone was hitting my head with a hammer. I sat on the bed clutching my head tightly with my hands. I looked around and found the surrounding was not the
Dhruv******I didn't realize how much time has passed with me sitting in the park and drenching myself in the heavy rain in the cold weather of London.All the past events came rushing back to meAll the past events came rushing back to me.After vigorous thinking of so many hours, I realized it all happened because of me. She never reciprocated the feelings I had for her and yet I kept falling for her every day. The day she left I realized that my love for her knew no bounds.All these years I tried to find the answer to where I was wrong but the mirror used to show me the person responsible for my miseries every day, it was me.It was me who had hoped, it was me who felt that she too felt something for me, it was me who thought that what we had between us was more than a mere friendship.I was deeply immersed in my thoughts when light from some source reached my face and I had to semi-close my eyes in response."Who i
Author********FLASHBACK STARTS**Tiptoeing towards the backyard where his love was painting and chatting with Riddhi, Dhruv tried to scare them off."Bhoo," he shouted near their ears. Riddhi screamed in horror but to his surprise, Saavi didn't.She was as calm as a deep ocean. Riddhi stomped her feet and went inside whining while Dhruv laughed at her antics.Turning her gaze towards Saavi he asked, "You didn't get scared?""You are not scary.""I can be, see I even scared Riddhi.""You can be, but not to me.""Really?" He wanted to make sure whether she was telling the truth or just saying it to please him.She nodded in response smiling at him."So, you will never get scared of me? Not even in the future?""And why would I be scared of you?""Maybe when I become ruthless." he was trying to know her perception but her replies were making his feelings for her grow even stronger.
