"Why are you even here?", He snapped frustrated as he turned to the other side. His arms crossed in front of his chest.
"I should be the one saying that, you are standing in the middle of my house", she shot back her own frustration building up at t...
Eyes wide, Ishani instantly detached herself from him nearly knocking him off his feet. He frowned , she might be little compared to him but damn if she isn’t strong.
Aaryan smiled at the interaction, oh how he wishes to have the same type of relationship with someone. Someone he could love and cherish forever. Someone who will him back just as dearly. But then again, he swore not to fall in love with someone, not get someone close to him as he did with his mother. So that he wouldn’t have to go through the same pain he went through when she died. No he can’t have that. Not again.
His Smile instantly dropped as his mind went through incidents that occurred nearly 20 years before.
He closed his eye, taking a deep breath. Why does literally happening around him reminds him of what he went through?
“Let’s go or else we’ll be late”, he grumbled walking towards the door. It shows just how much he wants to get over this housewarming party. The sooner, the better
Viren frowned at his brother’s sudden change in mood but followed him nonetheless.
They all sat in the car as Aaryan decided to drive to the location with the help of GPS.
They reached their destination within 20 minutes. Thanks to the GPS that showed the shortest root possible.
As Aaryan gazed outside the window. He saw a large black gate in front of him with a name plate just at the side of the wall where ‘Mr. Armaan Shah and Family’ was written in bold.
So he’s at the right location huh..
The guard on the other side stepped out and interrogated if they are Vihaan and his family members. After confirming it from the owner of the house, he nodded at them and opened the gate and Aaryan drove inside.
As he stepped outside the car with the others, he was surprised to see the view in front of him.
This bungalow house design replicated unique, modern and simple, the bungalow with glasses and shutters together, making it ideal for every climate. The glasses made it energy-efficient in colder regions, whereas together with shutters, the bungalow is perfect for hot and humid areas.
“Woww”, mumbled Isha in awe
Her gaze fell on the small pool at the left side of the house where as on the right side were what looked like a narrow area at the edge or garden path, with flowers and other small plants in it.
It looked like a perfect modern style bungalow anyone would want to come back home to after a stressful day.
“Oh, there you’re. Right on time”, said a deep old voice from the entrance of the bungalow just as a man emerged outside with a smile on his face. Aaryan could tell by the expression that it was a genuine one
“Ahh, yes we just arrived”, Vihaan chuckled at the sight of his old friend, giving him a quick man hug.
“So this is your family?”, he asked just as he saw 2 women coming their way to greet them.
“Oh, that’s my wife Lila and that’s my daughter’s best friend Nina. Basically a second for us”, said Armaan smiling down at Nina.
Nina’s heart swelled as she heard him say that and she smiled widely turning to greet every one
“Welco..”
Her smile fell just as instantly as it came when it fell on,...well him.
She just blinked once, twice and blinked again as if she were dreaming. What was he doing here? On the other hand Viren,s jaw literally fell down on the floor. As he was just as shocked as her. Is universe playing some sort of game with him? Because the girl he has been looking for some so many days is standing right in front of him
“Oh, don’t tell me you already know who he is because of the band”, said Vihaan as he noticed their interaction
“No”, Nina literally snapped before continuing, “ Sorry, I mean no I don’t know any band. I just met him that day when I was distributing posters for animal care and he just wouldn’t..”
“What she’s trying today is that we just met few days before when she was busy sticking posters on the wall and distributing them to anyone who passes by and I just happened to be one of them”, smirked Viren as he cut her off and winked at her.
She just narrowed her eyes at him before nodding at his parents.
Aaryan frowned, he doesn’t know why but she looked familiar. He just doesn’t remember where he saw her before.
“Such a beautiful name for name for such a beautiful girl “, beamed Ishani from behind her husband
“Oh, that’s my wife Ishani, that’s my youngest daughter Isha, that one is my second son Viren and this is my oldest son Aaryan”, Vihaan gestured with his hands
After a littletchat with each other while they all sat in the living room, Vihaan frowned ,”Uhh, Armaan where’s your daughter?, She’s the only one I haven’t seen yet”
“Yeah, I forgot to tell you, she went out to get some cake we had ordered, she’ll be back in...ahh, there she is”
Everyone,s head turned towards the door form where she emerged, her hair hiding her face as she was busy looking for something in her purse while holding the cake on the other hand. Her Blissta Anarkali Gown and her dupatta which literally flowed on the floor like flowing on in river not making it any easier for her.
She tripped on her heels as her leg came in contact with a table. A little ‘umpph’ leaving her mouth as she almost onto her face.
“Careful”, A strong arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her back into a very male body as the other hand took a hold of the cake, making sure it doesn’t fall. She gasped inaudibly at the contact and put a hand on the arm wrapped around her as she tried to steady the cake both of them were holding.
“Oh, thankyou so much, I....”, she turned to took at him with a small smile but then her light brown eyes widened as it came in contact with the dark onyx orbs which were just as wide as her.
“You” “You”
They both said in unison, disbelief clear in their voice
