[ editing] BE MINE...FOREVER ✨

✨Chapter 5 (part-2)✨

I will always make her feel happy, doesn't matter that if she has the same feelings as me, or not.

She was my bestfriend , and always be. The same best friend that I have lost contact ,when I moved away all those years ago , but we both are here together.

Now it's been third day, since she started been an intern here and since we met.

It is only her third damn day here, and somehow everything felt...Same. She was still treating me like a stranger, the walls she had build up between both of us, is somehow hurting me.

I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled. "Get a grip, Oberoi," I muttered under my breath.

She needs time.

That's what I kept reminding myself. But no matter how many times I said it, the reminder never landed the way it should've.

My gaze fell on the design board in front of me ,rough sketches pinned up from the last meeting. She'd left a few behind earlier when she'd been working here. Small notes in the corner of each sketch, written in the same neat, careful handwriting I still remembered from school projects.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I hear thundering voices from outside.

I looked outside the window and saw it was raining, but it was slowly getting fast.

I sighed, and took my belongings and head out from my cabin to downstairs.

Ariya's POV

I went towards the cabin, to check if tooba left already, or not.

As i entered, i saw it empty making me realise that she left already.

I smiled faintly, gathering my things. The room felt oddly bigger without her.

Just then I heard a buzzing sound ,I looked at my phone and saw a text from her.

I chuckled under my breath, typing back a lazy "on my way".

I closed the phone and as I turned around towards the door I heard a thundering sound.

I moved towards the window, and saw it was raining heavily outside, out of nowhere.

I panicked thinking that how will I get the cab, now?

I opened the Drivio app. There was no ride available right now, due to the weather.

Dammit!

I let out a low sigh, pressing my hand against my forehead as tension flickered across my face.

"What will I do now"  I said to myself while internally crying.

"Ariya, don't panic, keep trying, cab mil jayegi"
I said to myself and started walking outside the cabin.

As I reached the main lobby of the building, there were some umbrella placed on the corner in a basket.i took one from them. I came out, still trying to find a ride in my phone.

I stopped outside the company, cursing my luck .

Then suddenly, i heard a voice from behind.

"You're still here? Why didn't you went home?"
