[Completed]A Tale Of An Indian Wattpad Writer

chapter 17

I know you will like this :)

After the incident, I avoided nani ji. I was really disappointed with her way of thinking.

Its true we have generation gap but everyone has to adjust with the changing time. I think she was not yet ready to change.

It hurt me that she disliked me and now she dislikes my friend circle.

No matter how much I behave like I don't care, I do care. I also yearn for a loving grandmother that other's have.

As a child, I always wanted to sleep beside Nani and hear here telling me stories but I was never a choice to her.

My mood was depressed and the eery silence between me and my nani was affecting the atmosphere of home.

Everyone was on the tip of needle. They were afraid what to say and what not.

I was sitting on the bench in school garden and was thinking about the things that happened in past.

I realised someone sitting beside me and I found out it was Arnav.

I was staring at him surprised and he was staring at ground. He then looked up and stared back at me.

We stared at each other for some seconds.

"Hi" Arnav greeted.

"Hi" I replied back with a small smile.

"Why are you sitting alone here?" He asked.

I looked down at the ground and said "Thinking something"

I felt hands on my cheek and Arnav turned me to look at him. His eyes were looking in my eyes as if searching for some answer.

"What is it?" He asked, his warm hands still on my face.

"It-it" I turned my eyes other way. I couldn't control myself and tears started to fall down and then all broke loose and I sobbed.

Arnav' hands which were on my face were wiping the tears but it was useless as there were endless tears.

And then I felt his hand move away from my face. I thought he was leaving me, an over emotional fool. But instead, I felt hands on my shoulder and was pulled forward and felt my head on his warm chest.

He had took me in his arms and his hands were tightly holding me. I could hear his heart beat and it was kind of music which was calming me down.

We stayed like that for long till I cried all I could. Then after sometime, my tear had stopped but we stayed like that.

His arms were too comforting and I was happy to be here.

He pulled me back a little and one his hands wiped the tears that had missed falling down.

I couldn't look at him. I was embarrassed that he had to see me like this.

"  I-I am sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Shh! You don't need to say sorry and" He pulled my face so that I was staring back at him "look at me not the ground"

His eyes had worry in them and I could see care also but there was another emotion that I couldn't understand but it was very strong.

"You can tell me"

And I couldn't help myself, I explained everything to him.

He was listening carefully all the time.

"Its just that not knowing what I did to deserve her hatred is much painful."

I sighed

"I am sorry you had to see this. I know its silly"

"No, its not" Arnav said.

"Family and relationships are very important and things like these are crucial. I can understand what you are feeling. So don't be embarrassed."

I nodded.

"I don't want you to be depressed because its not who I Aesha is. Aesha is a girl who knows how to handle situation. She is a brave girl who know how to make others smile. So I know she wouldn't just sit back being drowned in misery." Arnav continued with so much emotions

This brought a smile. I realised he had been observing all the time and I was wrong in thinking that he was ignoring me all the time.

"It seems you have done research on me" I teased.

"How can I not, when you were like a puzzle to me"

"Huh?" His statement confused me.

"Nothing" he smiled little.

He suddenly pulled me back again in his arms. His chin was on my head and his arms safely around me. I was surprised again but this time I also hugged him back and put my head on his chest, enjoying the moment.

If time could be stopped, I would like it to be now, in his arms.

I realised I wanted to be like this forever. I wanted him in my life till I lived and beyond that. Was I being greedy, wanting something which was out my reach?

Was it what a girl feels for a boy, love?
