थोड़ी जगह दे दे मुझे..
तेरे पास कहीं रह जाऊं मैं..
खामोशियाँ तेरी सुनूँ..
ओर दूर कहीं ना जाऊं मैं
Author's POV
'Ahhh' , she clutched her head, and trying to register the whole scenario because, last time when she checked she was running on a road.
She got up and sat on the bed started looking here and there.
'Where am I? WAIT NOOO AM I KIDNAPPED?'
But wait wait..this room.'
'It's giving..fictional vibess...more like it's giving wattpad.'
'Are you like mad or wottt?'
'Yeah yeah fine maaan!'
Shrishti's POV
I started descending the stairs, my god i'm in love with this.
But right now I have to find the owner..
W-what if he's the .... same g-guy from the cl-club
I took the vase from the nearby table annd tiptoed the rest of the past.
And then..
Aaaahhhhhhh!!
( She could see some shadow coming out of the room, she screamed and tried hard enough to throw it, but the person grabbed her hands and pushed her into the wall...ooops)
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked getting irked.
What's happening to me...
My breathing got high, heart? Gonna explode, legs? Jelly.
Something something...My conscience mocked.
Nothing!!
'Aa I..I WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?' I asked almost immediately.
"I can do anything in MY HOUSE. " he said.
Look at the audacity and the way he emphasized.
'Your house? What am I doing here, mummaa must be worried oh fu-'
"Shhh" He shushed me by putting his hand on my mouth.
(Temperature's getting hot y'all.)
"Kitna bolti ho, now listen
I found you running on the road and ultimately you got hit by my car, because you weren't looking in front".
As always.. he muttered but I did listen to it.
"And then, you lost your senses, prolly you were drunk! I had no option and and I brought you here."
I listened intently.
"And as for your family..one of you friend called you I informed her and asked her to manage it for you."
I could feel something in my heart, an ache maybe?
kuch bhi ho skta tha.
Shit he..he must have seen me in my weak state, honestly that's something I wouldn't want anyone to see.
I have to leave.
I gestured him to remove his hand.
'Thank you..for yesterday, I'll be leaving now already late.'
"Wait." I stood there as he went to..idk
After good two to three mins he came with a glass of water and a tab?
'What is it for?' I questioned.
"Zeher nahi hai, kha lo." he responded.
He said and left from there.
Rude.
.
.
.
'Goodbye!'
"Bye."
GOODBYE!!'
"GOOD.BYE."
'YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.'
And he just hummed.
I sighed and left.
After coming out of the elevator I searched for my mobile, everywhere.
Arrrrghhhh!!!!
I went near the lift again and it soon opened and I saw him again, with a mobile in his hand he passed it to me.
"Here, Stop being so careless."
Huff.
'And you stop lecturing me.'I snatched it.
On the way home I asked the manager of club to allow my PA to bring the car.
Chopra Mansion
'Areyyy aa gyi beta?, koi pareshani toh nhi hui naa?' Mumma asked smiling as she was setting food on dining table
(Oh you came daughter?, Hope you didn't face any problem, how was the stay?)
'Dikkat toh kuch nhi maa' pr han subah subah un akdu ke darshan zarur ho gye. I whispered.
'Chlo thik hai freshen up ho jao, or khana kha lo.'
(Okay go and freshen up, and have some food)
While ascending the stairs of my house aan aan h-o-m-e.
My mind drifted to that 'particular' incident.
He hates me, why did he help me?
Why he acted like as if he cares about me?
Just whyy?
Hope I don't cross paths with him again!!
Please shiv ji ab or nhi dekh skti main vo chehra.
I got ready and left for the office after having my food.
Only three days are left for the walk.
I need to finalise the outfits and the model as well.
Aarush's POV
'Enna sona kyun rab ne banaya?' 🎶
I hummed a song while getting ready.
Shrishti?
Trouble.
Disaster.
Baka.
Still I fell for her, and falling harder day by day only if she knew.
But what about her?
She is my past.
In the morning when we were so close..
'Kol hove teh sekh lagda hai..' 🎶
I felt something unknown in my mind.
Happiness?
Idk.
"Dur jaave teh dil jalda hai ..'🎶
Nervousness?
Idk.
God damn I had to control the urge to just hold her by waist and keep her in my arms. All day long.
"Kehdi agg naal rab ne banaaya?"🎶
But when she left I felt bad.. why can't you just be here all the time..right in front of my eyes?
So that only I get to see her, to listen to all her blabbering.
She's the only person whom I want to talk to.
"Enna sona kyun rab ne banaya?"🎶
I want to become the person whom she shares everything about her life, her feelings, her pain, her happiness.
I quickly dialled a number.
'I want the information about the whole matter'
'Okay, i'll send it by evening.' The person on on the other side replied.
'Hmm.'
Shrishti's POV.
~Time skip~
(In night.)
I'm actually very excited because why not its HOLI!!
Holi a festival of colors, joy and what not.
My most fav festival.
But it also holds a spiritual significance..
Ho-li which means what's done is done.
Even if you want you can't change it.
Whatever has happened in the past, let it go..because it hurts you only,
Letting go things can be hard but when you do.. you feel light.
That's the magic of forgive and forget.
Start your new journey, a lovable a memorable one till next Holi.
And see the magic.
It helps in making one a new and a better version.
Let's just not play with colors for fun, let's leave all the dull colors of pain, sorrow and fill our lives with bright colors of love, happiness and peace.
Because it is within me..the power to transform myself lies within me.
coming back out of my gyaan.hehe
I am so baffled..what should I wear I don't have anything to wear!!!
And my mata shree won't let me buy new ones how about I just wear a plain anarkali?
Hmm sounds good..good nah
Hell fantastic!!
I remember the times when I was a kid, I didn't sleep whole night before any event or festival, because I used to be soo excited.
I still am excited.
But the childhood is no more.
Let's skip to the good part ~
Tomorrow's gonna be a wonderful day.
Ping
Anshika: Shrishti? Are you okay?
Have you reached home? I was about to come to take your from his place, but got stuck in some urgent work.
Me: Duh, it's fine I've reached home.
Anshika: Who was he??
Me: He..?
Anshika: Don't pretend yaar, don't tell me you've found a guy without even telling me *gritting teeth emoji*
Me: Oh he's family friend.
Anshika: Suuuuure.
Me: Stop it!!
I must be a blushing mess rn, only at the mention of his name??
Me: Chl thik hai byee.
Anshika: bye jii hume bhi milvana, apne family friend se.
Not even in dreams, mujhe din khrab nhi krna.
Me: Should I tell my BIL in that case? *smirks*
Anshika: Oh well bitch was just taking your reaction, bye.
Next morning.
'Goood morning mumma papa..good morning jokers!!' I hugged my parents and my siblings as well.
'Happy holi!!!'.
"Happy holi" they all chirped together.
My home, my people.
EEO!!
'Toh kya preparations hai aaj ki guys and my girlss??' I asked looking at the hustle bustle in our house.
(What is the preparation for today?)
"Just the usual, we have invited few of our friends" my siblings said.
Papa and I have invited our business partners and friends as well. Mumma said.
'Woah that's great.'
'Or mere bache ka kya plan haii??'
Papa asked.
'Kuch nhi bas mumma ke saath kitchen dikhwana hai maine' I smiled.
.
.
.
'Haaye raam kitna kaam hota hai yaar Kitchen mein!!!'
(Oh lord Rama there's so much of work in the kitchen.)
After 2 hrs we were done and the guests started to come, the party was hosted in the lawn.
Mumma asked the helpers to set the food there already.
She went with them.
I came out in the lawn and applied color first in temple and then to my parents and greeted all the guests.
I came inside again to take my phone, as my clumsy AF nature won't let me live peacefully.
Yayy it's time to post on instagram!!
'Didi mummy bula rahi hain' My younger brother said.
[Mumma is calling you.]
'Abhi toh aayi hun, ab ekdm kya hua?' I stood up from my place.
"Vo toh nhi pta aap aa jao pehle." His voice stern.
I quickly came out in the lawn..
Color color everywhere,not able to see.
What th- hell it is!!!
In a snap of seconds I was covered with lots of gulal I looked up while rubbing my eyes, there he was my brother!!!
It was fvucking plann!!
And I got trapped.
Arghhhh!
'Hrithik!!!! You're dead you stupid lambu.'
(Chote bhai ne height badhakr aukaat dikha dii )
'Pehle pakadkar toh dikhao'
"Bache hi rahenge ye ab bhi!!"
Our parents laughed.
'Tum dono ko dekh lungi main.' I yelled.
I took handful of colors in both of my hands.
And ran towards the roof.
And...guess what??
he got down from the back side.
Never in my life I regretted the making of this house.
'But oh architect bhaiya kya zarurat thi haan? Back door dene ki??' I shouted and ran for the lawn again.
(Hey architect what was the need to give a back door?)
'Tu ruk zara ab toh tu gaya beta' He was running making a zig zag path in between the tables.
'Stop it oldie you'll turn 21 this year, behave like that.'
"In that case you're older than me."
He chuckled.
Enough of chasing now.
It's time to cheat.
AUTHOR'S POV
She hid behind a wall, and stole some glances if his bother reached.
When she felt a presence she threw the colors.
'Ab aaya na maza' And she flipped her hair back.
While the person covered in color swiped off a little bit of gulal by his handkerchief.
Oopsie woopsie.
'Ohh ..what
the..
hell..."
'Is it him?"
'Oh my mother earth please swallow me whole'
My poor baby thought all this.
Whereas he just shot glares at her as if he would eat her raw, without even sprinkling spices.
'Ab toh main gyi'
Funny, how she said this to her brother and here she is.
'Aa-aap? Haha., bura na maano holi hai!'
And she ran not even looking back for once.
He stood baffled.
Whether he should be laughing at these antics or be angry at this behaviour.
'Kiddy' is all what he thought.
Later on, all her family members meeted and greeted the guests.
There she found Mrs. Bedi.
'Oh so she might have come with him'
She went near her, applied color and took blessings.
"Hello Mrs. Bedi kaise hain aap?"
And she gave her a side eye.
'Ah yes, meenu aunty, how are you doing?'
"That's like a good daughter."
While both of them were talking, Aarush came and said.
"Maa we should leave now, it's getting late."
Shrishti looked up and muttered a small thankyou.
Although she thought none of them looked, but little did she know.
Koi hai jo unki har vakt ki khabar rakhta hai.
So hiding her real smile she bid them bye.
'SHUKR HAI!'
'Mr. Akdu se paala nhi pada.'
She twirled around in her corridor
{Aarush's POV contd.}
flashback
'Maa aap chali jaiye na, mujhe nhi jana.'
"Nhi you are going with me and that's final"
I don't want to go there, i'll see her and she'd drive me insane.
And I can't tell her about my feelings as well.
Best way is to avoid her.
Soo no
.
.
.
TYPICAL INDIAN MOTHERS!
HERE I AM DRIVING, TAKING MY MOM TO HER HOUSE.
Just when I entered someone threw color at me.
LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FVCK!
SHRISHTI! I'll get back to you.
.
.
.
Bohot khush ho rahi hain sahiba humari jaane ki baat pr, chliye thode maze le liye jayen.
I asked my mother to get seated in the car, telling her i'll be back.
There she was twirling in the corridor.
Such a kiddy.
I held her arm and pulled her towards the stairs, apparently there was some space under it.
Kept my hand over her mouth.
Her eyes widening in shock.
But this time she bit my hand.
'Oww'
"Darn it, what's with you and your urge to close my mouth by placing your hand over it haan?" she spoke angrily.
Cute.
'Kya karein bolti zyada ho or chillati us se bhi zyada.' I said showing disappointment.
"Oh hello Mr. Bedi, aapko koi or kaam hai meri burai ke alawa?"
'Hai, filhaal toh aapko..' I went near her.
"Mujhko..?"
Her timidness..ohh how much I'm loving this, but gotta go so yeah some other time love.
'Aapko..'
"Bolo bhi."
'RANG LAGANE KA!'
Yes! The Aarush Bedi did it.
Bwahahahahahha
"What the h-"
I cupped her cheeks and kissed her, her eyes like saucer.
'Bye.'
I absolutely love leaving her in a state of shock.
Tbc~
How was the chapter?
