Dhriti's POV
I entered dii's home with a smiling heart and a confused mind. The way he made me comfortable, the way he handled me when i was in my miseries , the way he cared about me. His words were still going in my mind.
" I would love to be prey of your prank if you keep smiling and being like this".
His adorable smile which is enough to bring a smile on my face. His hugs which make me feel butterflies in my stomach.
"So??" I came out of my thoughts when i saw dii standing in front of me with smirk on her face and her hands folded in front .
"What?" I asked.
" How is my soon to be brother-in-law?? " She winked at me.
"kya dii... Kuch bhi??
It's nothing like that..." I can feel heatness on my face.
"Yeah... i can see that very well." She chuckled.
"Dii.. Me and Dhruv are just friends." I somehow managed to say.
"Oh... But my dear sister i didn't mention any name. I just asked a normal question." She giggled.
"Dii..." I said in loudly in embarrassment.
She laughed and took me in a hug. We went to my room. She made me sit on bed and took her seat beside me.
" Dhriti... I know you are nervous and afraid to accept your feelings. Being nervous is okay as these feelings are new to you....
But there is no need to be afraid.
He seems to be a good guy.
Also he loves you a lot..." She said.
"But he never said...." I asked in confusion.
"He never said because he is trying to make you comfortable first...
If he had proposed you before being a friend, would you accept??"
She asked.
I nodded in NO.
" You know Dhriti... When i met Atharva for the very first time , i was very much impressed by him.
The way he talks, the way he smiles, The way he respects everyone and the way he asked about my opinion whenever we talked or go somewhere....
I thought it was just a simple attraction and i admire him because he took care of my likes and dislikes which no one did in our family....
It was all new for me....
But as the time passed i realized it was not just attraction.. It was something different, something new, something very very special and beautiful....."
She continued speaking and i got lost in my own thoughts.
Dhruv indeed made me feel special, he made me comfortable, i can be myself when i am with him. He makes me smile, i feel safe with him...
I am happy with him... He respects me.
He takes care of my wishes without me knowing it.
All the past scenes came to my mind. The way in was greeted by roses and quotes which made me smile... I was scared at first..
But when i came to know it is Dhruv who send it... I was relaxed.
How can a stranger make me feel so much emotions??
" I think you got your answer now." She said with smile.
"How do you know it is LOVE only and how are you so sure that he feels something for me??" I asked again.
" Oh god... I wasn't aware that my sister is soo dumb.." She said in disappointed tone and slapped her forehead.
I pouted looking at her.
"My super intelligent sister it is very much evident in his eyes... The way he looks at you, The way he takes care of you and the way he is worried for you...
How can you miss his feelings for you which keep overflowing through his eyes and actions??"
She giggled at last.
" Dhriti... You have gone through too much..
If the happiness is knocking on your door, accept it with open arms.."
She kissed my forehead and moved towards the door.
Her words made me realize something and my smile moved away..
How can i even think about this??
I will be lucky to be with him, but he didn't deserve a broken soul like me..
NOO.....
I will not let this happen... I can't destroy his life.
He is too perfect for me.
He deserves the best... and i am nowhere near best.
I smiled at the irony... I got happiness after ages but this happiness doesn't belong to me..
I can't snatch someone else' happiness.
.

The next day i was feeling much better so i went to work.
I entered the premises and went to my cabin . There was a bouquet along with a note lying on table as usual.
I picked the bouquet and caressed the flowers.
DHRUV
His smiling face came to my mind.
Why are you doing this Dhruv?? You deserve a girl better than me.
I sighed and kept the flowers away... I will ignore him...
*********************
Third person's POV
Stella saw that Dhriti is upset today and was looking lost.
It was the first in all the years from which she is working with her, Dhriti was not able to concentrate on her work.
She went to Dhruv's cabin and saw Dhruv was also lost somewhere.
But the difference was that Dhruv was lost with a smile on his face with a smile like he was cherishing the memories and Dhriti was just looking lost without any expression.
Stella called Dhruv to make him aware of her presence.
Dhruv asked the reason of her sudden arrival.
"Sir, Dhriti mam is looking lost today... Did anything happen yesterday??" She asked.
Dhruv thought for a while and answered,
"Yesterday her mood was good. You go I will check on her."
Dhruv got lost in his thoughts and messaged Dhriti,
"Hey... Good morning... In office??"
He waited for her reply. But there was no reply.
He knew very well that she is in her cabin and reading his messages.
What happened to her ?? He thought .
" Up for Lunch??" Dhruv messaged again.
There was not any reply again. Dhruv sighed.
He thought that it would be better if he meet her. He started waiting for the lunch time.
.
.
.
.
Soon it was the lunch time. He went to the office cafeteria situated at the top floor and messaged Dhriti,
"Waiting for you in cafeteria. Come soon :)"
He waited for 5-10 minutes. There was not any reply. He was about to call her when he received her message -
" Busy in some work. Thank you for asking."
He huffed reading the message and was clearly looking annoyed. But he knew she was clearly avoiding him but he has to handle her with patience.
He rushed downwards and entered her cabin with a knock.
Dhriti was working on her laptop but she seemed to be lost somewhere else.
" It won't help..." Dhruv said making her shiver due to his sudden arrival.
"You scared me. I thought it's Stella." She looked up from her laptop.
" I said it won't help..." He repeated again.
She raised her eyebrow at his words...
"Working while lost in some other thoughts... It won't help in anything...
You need to clear your head only then you will be able to concentrate...."
He came near the chair opposite to her and took the seat.
" I hope you don't mind" He said , she just shrugged her shoulders.
"Can i know the reason why are you avoiding me??" He asked clearly.
"I wasn't... I am just busy today"
She said in 'duh' tone.
"Yeah.. I can see that. "
He chuckled mocking her.
She looked down in embarrassment.
"So... Will you speak now??" He asked again.
"Nothing... We have this client-business relation. So i think it's better to maintain that only.. Moreover just a month is left and then we will be apart." She said.
"Ohh.. Cut the crap.. We have already crossed that level."
He was clearly annoyed.
"It was 'YOU' who broke that relation.. NOT ME." She said not looking into his eyes.
He stood up and went near her chair. He took her hand and jerked her towards him making her get up from the chair. He took her in his arms and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"I know it's not you speaking... It's your fear speaking..." He said.
Dhriti tried to get out of his grip but failed to do so.
"Shh... Just stay still and close your eyes...." He said caressing her back.
Dhriti was trying hard to control her emotions. She stop wiggling in his hold but didn't hug him back. She kept her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
Dhruv noticed that she is not trying to get out of his hold anymore, it made him smile. His doubt was true. She was afraid and insecure.
"Don't keep any emotion hidden in your heart. Let it flow..
I am here with you." He said.
Her heart automatically started following his order. A tear rolled down her cheeks and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
No words were required. They kept hugging each other. Her heart was at peace.
They broke their hug after some time.
Dhruv cupped her face and asked, "Are you okay??"
She just nodded. He smiled and kissed her forehead.
He made her sit on her chair and sat on his knees in front of her.
"What are you doing?" She asked worriedly.
"Don't worry... I am not going to propose you 'YET'.." He said with smirk.
His 'YET' made her blush.
"Oh my my... Someone is blushing" He smirked.
She blushed even more and looked away from him. Her actions made him chuckle.
.
.
.
"Dhruv.." She called.
"Hmm??" He looked at her.
"It's not going to work..." She said seriously.
"And why do you think so??" He asked without any expression.
Dhriti sighed. She didn't know what to say and Dhruv's blank expressions were also not helping.
"Look Dhruv... I feel very much comfortable with you... I am happy when i am with you...
I feel that i can be myself around you.. You make me smile, you respect me, make me feel special.....
I love spending time with you... Your words, your smile, your antics make my heart happy.
But YOU DESERVE BETTER. I am not good for you..." She finally said it.
Dhruv looked at her disappointed.
"I am not perfect... " She spoke again.
Dhruv looked away to clear his annoyance then looked again at her. He held both of her hands and looked at her with all love in his eyes.
"Dhriti... Who said that you are not for me?? It's all bullsh*t.
You deserve the best.. You are the most innocent, honest and beautiful soul i have ever met.
You deserve a guy better than me.. but what to do??
I can't let a lovely soul like you go to someone else. "
He said removing her fears.
"Dhriti, I have never seen someone more perfect than you..
It might be true that are not perfect in everything...
But nobody is perfect.
Even i am imperfect... I flirt with every girl, i suck in art work and cooking...
I am worst at expressing myself.
I have done nothing to deserve you.. But i want to be with you.. I want to get perfect with you..
I know you might have dream about the best guy for you. I flirt with girls normally but you are the first girl who made me feel something very serious and beautiful and i could never deny those feelings.
I am not the best but i promise i will be with you always...." He continued.
She looked at him teary eyes and smile.
" I don't want you to take the decision in any haste... Take your time" He said and pressed her hand lightly giving her assurance.
He kissed on her knuckled and stood from ground.
"And Dhriti TRUST YOURSELF...
You are the best. If you ever get any doubt on your capability the look in my eyes..
You will get your answers.." He said and went outside.
Dhriti kept sitting at her place lost in her thoughts.
Her doubts and insecurities were cleared to some extent.
"We don't even realize when a person comes and
becomes so special to us that his few words or
his mere presence is enough to remove all our
doubt and insecurities"
