I open my eyes. Automatically, the edge of my lips part in a small smile. I turn to see him. He's sleeping like a cute boy. The innocence of his eyes Is still there.
I still regret the moment when I used harsh words for him. If it wouldn't he, I could not believe that I hadn't survived this take off. For a moment, I thought. It'd kill me. I mostly thought about him but I couldn't imagine him here, with me.
Would that! He hadn't gone that day without saying me hello. The smile on his face is telling me that he remembers me. It took me years to leave my past back. My past still haunts me in my nightmares. He was a cute boy at that time. Now, he's looking hot as hell.
"Hey! You awake." He smiled cheerfully.
" Yes," I smiled back.
"Well! I don't know anything about....... " His
I exit hurriedly. Mini is coming to pick me up from the airport. I look back. I don't want him to follow me. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I shiver, "Suhana! " She hugs me. "Mini! " Gosh! She scares me. I hug her back. There are only a few people in my life who I allow to touch me. My friends are one of them. "So good to see you! Did I scare you? " Mini pulls back and looks at me with a huge smile on her face. But it immediately turns into a worried look. My friends can read my face. "You just startled me. How are you? Is your husband treating you good?" I ask worriedly. I never can accept a man could treat his woman nicely as I haven't seen one. "All men are not the same. He cares for me, loves me and Vicky is a perfect husband. " Mini cups my cheeks. It irks me when I feel another
I was just looking at her. I had to struggle hard to look away from her. I cursed the time when my father sent his man eight years ago. If it wouldn't be important, she would be the mother of my kids now. Shaking my thoughts away, I rub the towel on my wet hair. I gaze at Vicky through the reflection of the mirror, "What are you thinking, bro? " I ask him. He's one year older than me. We've spent our childhood together in London. I'm born there. "My wife wants to spend this entire week with her friends. There are a lot of rooms. But they insist on sharing one room. " Vicky smirks. "It's just a week, man. Take her out for dinner. " I couldn't stop the chuckle. "Forget mine. She's my wife. I'll find the way to her. What's about you? Are you dating someone? Aunt wants you to get married. " Vicky draws himself up on his feet and stops behind me.
SEVEN YEARS AGO Flashback: I don't know his name. Ghosh! I didn't ask for his name. Sincerely, I didn't think there would be a number in it. I wasn't even expecting a comment about my look. It happened for the first time to me. So it was a great enthusiasm, what could be under a layer of this white sheet? I remembered, my cousin, got the same note from a boy. But there was written that ' You're cute." I eagerly opened it and found a phone number.' Okay! He gave me a phone number. But I'm a teenager. Mom will never allow me to keep a personal cell phone. But I can take the risk for him. I love his eyes andI don't know his name. ' Sam! I like this name for him. When I'll meet him next time. I'll ask him. But for now, Sam! After baptism, I was feeling hungry. So I had decided to go out with my cousin for lunch.&
He pulls the chair and gestures to me to sit. I stop the urge to roll my eyes. I could feel all eyes on me. I sit on it immediately. I'm not prepared for another unwanted questions round. My friends won't allow me to breathe easily if they get a hint of any stunt between us. I can see, there are worried faces after dropping the news of his wedding. I'm flawlessly fine with it. I have realised that he isn't essential to me anymore, the day he broke my heart, the day he laid his hand on someone else. I don't want anyone to hurt me. I don't wanna give them more uneasiness because of me. I want to end the dinner peacefully. My friends haven't come into the room yet. It is a matter of concern. They must be planning something. They are troublemakers. But I want some time for myself. My mind is occupied with Arnav. I don't know, how will I spend this entire week with him under the same roof? He pecked me on the plane. What
The door was already open. I push it to open, "Finally, you came." Rita smiles. Before I could reply to her, "Who's this Kaur? She's sending you messages. She has sent her wedding pictures with a big thank you note." Sippy gets on her feet and puts my phone in my hand. I take it from her and glance down at it, "She's Jagraj's Ex. I'm glad. Finally, she's happy. She got the right one for her." I smile, looking at her wedding pictures. She is looking so beautiful in her wedding red dress and in the second picture she is posing with her husband. They are a beautiful pair. I quickly replied to her, congratulating her. "That nasty piece of shit. How many girls' lives have he spoiled?" Rita snarls, her forehead creases. "More than we can count on our tips, bloody MF." Sippy plops on the mattress. My phone vibrates in my hand. I click on
She scared me. My heart is still beating rapidly in my chest. Vicky closed the door behind him. But I want to go back and wrap my arms around her. Her face was scrunched with pain and agony. She was looking so terrified and vulnerable. It is heart-wrenching to see her in such a condition. But I was ameliorated when she stopped screaming and panicking. I need to see her. I leave my room and walk toward the kitchen in the hope to see her. I sight around and It's only Vicky and Guri in the kitchen. Vicky looks up at me. "Thanks, Arnav." Vicky slaps his hand on my shoulder when I come into the kitchen. "Is she going through a worse time? What has happened to her? " I ask him. Her such condition unsettles me. "Nothing, " Vicky simply says. "Nothing! " It comes out louder with anger which I don't mean, "She was scre
F**k! I curse when I see Vicky coming at me behind her. I wait for him to say. He is my brother but he's behaving as he's her brother. Vicky locks his eyes with mine. It's impossible, I'll not back off from her, not even after my death. "Take care of her. I know, she'll be safe with you. " Vicky says. "You've got my words, and I've promised her too." I don't know how much she has filled the information to him. But I don't care. I'll be glad if she'll openly accept our relationship. I open the door for her. She's nervous but she hops in. She's the first girl who'll sit with me on the passenger seat. I've mostly kept the back seat, but not with her. I close the door softly. I don't want to startle her. I turn to him. "What has she told you?" I ask him. "That you're her boyfriend." Vicky smirks fully.
FLASHBACK: Six years back. I was pacing to and fro as I was waiting for him. Group of my friends were laughing over something. But my eyes were on the heavy and huge iron gate. ' He should come now. I hate to wait. ' I gripped Mini's wrist and stared at the needles. I exhaled in frustration. It had been more than thirty minutes. He should be here, but I didn't know where was he? I didn't have my cell phone with me. He took it with him, God knew, why? I wanted to make a call to him. I glanced at my hand. I was holding red roses for him. I plucked this from our college's garden. It was prohibited but I would risk anything for him. " Suhana, are you waiting for him? If he doesn't come. You have to come home alone. " Sippy said, gathering her books. " I'm okay with that. I'll wait for him. " I told her. I was feelin
