Chapter 6
Ekam's pov
What was I doing !!! Control yourself Ekam ,nahi to esa na ho ki love story shuru hone se pehle hi khatam ho jaye . I thought to myself as I walked towards the door to open it only to reveal our friends .
" Oh my God!! This is so dreamy " Tanvi said as soon as she entered the house .
" Yeah ! These fairy lights , comfy blankets and popcorn on top of it " Simran said grabbing one of the popcorn bowl.
" You are such a bhukkad simran " I mocked her
" Haha as if you are not " Simran said eyeing me
" Stop fighting " Nehmat said as she entered the living area
" He started " Simran complained
"Nehmat you know na I don't fight " I said looking over at her
She glanced at me and simran one by one
" No Nehmat don't believe him " Simran said
" Nehmat , you know what these two are not going to stop fighting once they start . You are stuck now " Tanvi said
Nehmat nodded knowingly
" Okay fine , I know who started it " Nehmat said looking at me . I shook my head in denial but she nodded in a yes .
" Its Ekam " She said
" Yes! You are right " simran said smiling at her
" Okay okay now let's not waste more time as simran has already wasted much " I said moving towards the seatings.
" Ekam !! " I heard simran shout
" Now don't start again " Aarav said before I could say anything else.
" You guys settle down , I'll be back in a minute " Nehmat excused herself and went to her room.
-----
" Where is Nehmat ? " Tanvi spoke
" I'll go and see " I said and walked up to her room and raised my hand to knock before entering .
Nehmat's pov
" I also miss you all " I said as talked to my nani .
" After mom- dad you and Nanu have taken care of me like your own otherwise chachu had-- "
as tears started forming in my eyes blurring my vision.
"No don't cry beta ... everything will be fine . And we did not do a favor . Tum hamari apni hi to , meri bachi " Nani said lovingly
" To kab aa rahi ho hamse Milne " She asked
" Nani.. I'll not be able to come anytime soon . It will be possible only in vacations " I spoke and she nodded
" Nani, actually my friends are here so I need to go ,bye ! " I added as I could not hold my tears and would cry anytime
" Bye ! Take care " she said .
Tears started to flow as soon as the call ended but I gathered myself , wiping them and got up to go outside , plastering a smile on my face . I turned back only to see Ekam standing beside the door . Had he heard everything . I thought as he approached me .
"What are you doing here ? You should be outside " I questioned
" I came to give you something " He said forwarding a white rose which made my lips curve into a smile . Real smile.
" Why do you always give me white rose"
"I got to know that Someone likes white roses and that makes her smile too , so why not !" He answered making me smile wider .
" Thank you " I said
"Do you have some extra stock of thank you and sorry . No need to be so formal" He said
" Sorry "
He looked at me with an unbelievable look
" Okay fine ! I won't say , Now let's go " I said as we started to go out but he stopped in between.
" What happened?" I asked him
" Is this you?" He spoke looking at my childhood picture on the wall .
I nodded
" Its of when I was 2 year old " I answered
" You looked like an aloo but cute " He said jokingly while looking at me.
I passed him a glare to which he immediately said " I am sorry , I didn't mean- "
I broke into laughter as I saw his face . So innocent .
" Its okay I know I looked like that " I answered
" But now you look different " He spoke
" Different as in? " I questioned
He stepped forward looking intensely at me as I moved back a step .
" Beautiful " He spoke looking into my eyes . Those brown eyes of his . Our trance broke by Tanvi's voice who called us to come outside for the game . I looked away shyly and he scratched the back of his neck, his head hung down .
"I think we should go , before the game ends " he said . I hummed as we moved to the living area and we all settled .
Time skip
" Dare ! " Ekam said as the bottle stopped in his direction
" Play a new melody on the spot on your guitar " Aarav spoke
" Now! I mean I don't have my guitar right now, its in the car " Ekam answered as he started to get up to get it
"Wait!" I said going to my room leaving everyone confused
I came back with a guitar in my hand only to face their questioning eyes .
" Actually ! I was fond of playing it while I was a kid so my dad bought me this on my 15 th birthday , but...I-I never learned to play it " I responded gazing at my feet as if they were the most interesting thing on this planet
" Okay but you didn't need to explain so much " Ekam spoke making me look at him.How does he understand me everytime. I sat down and he began to play a really soothing melody . It was as if a cure to everything . Just pure peace .
" Wow! It was beautiful " Tanvi complimented him.
" Yeah truly " I said looking at him and immediately looking away .
" So now its movie time ! " Simran announced as she approached to put the movie " Jab we met " .
Ekam's pov
The movie was halfway completed when I felt something on my shoulder . I turned in the direction only to find Nehmat peacefully sleeping on my shoulder . She looked like a small baby while sleeping . Really cute . I thought of taking a picture of her to keep with me but decided against it as it would not be right to take picture with her permission . I caressed her head slightly , tucking her loose hair strands behind her ear that disturbed her sleep and my view . Pure innocence .
I heard Aarav clear his throat as he stood behind me .
" Continue what you are doing unless you want Tanvi and simran to know about your feelings for her because its quite evident " He spoke patting my back and going towards the kitchen maybe to get water .
I immediately withdrew my hand from her hair and tapped her shoulder lightly to wake her up even though I didn't want to and moreover she might get neck pain if she remained like that.
