chapter 43

Ruhan opened the door of his room on hearing a knock. He felt happy to see it was Aditya."Come inside. I was already coming to meet you.""You already got fresh it seems?" Aditya said looking at Ruhan in lounge outfit."Yes. A beautiful and polite girl showed me the way to this room so I thought why not just get changed?""Ah beautiful and polite? Who are you talking about?" Aditya asked.Ruhan tried to change the topic but Aditya pestered him."Tell me who is this beautiful and polite girl who showed you the way?"Ruhan kept quiet for a while and Aditya continued to speak."You still feel for her it seems?""No Adi. It's nothing like that. But yes I've done much wrong with her.""Good that you understand."Ruhan faked a smile."I think you should rest for a while now and we'll meet tomorrow.""Sure."Aditya left Ruhan's room thinking that Ruhan might be having some feelings for Anshika.Tossing in her bed Anshika sat up not being able to sleep and found Siya asleep. Putting on her coat she silently got out of the room and out in the garden. The garden was effectively lit with lamps and Anshika sat on a bench near the pool. The night was cold and felt colder to sit by the pool. She knew why she couldn't sleep. She met Ruhan after ages. Ruhan had left her so easily and was quite proud of that. He had humiliated her when he left her. Meeting him after that was not pleasurable for her but his appearance ran down shivers down her.She tried to call Harshit. She knew that it was only him who could help her at that moment but then immediately disconnected the call. The sounds of footsteps led her turn behind to find Ruhan walking towards her. An immediate tension engulfed her but she chose to sit calm. Their eyes met as Ruhan made his way to the same bench."I didn't know I would meet you here." Ruhan started up a conversation."Why did you think I wouldn't come to Siya and Adi's wedding?""I didn't mean to say that. I meant here, by the pool.""That's good, I don't even expect that you would think about meeting me here."A silence prevailed in there after which Anshika got up to leave. "I have to speak about a lot of things with you Anshika."Their eyes met as Anshika kept standing."What now and why now?""I just have to say.""I don't want to talk now. I'm tired.""Please Anshika.""Do you think you can get away with your pleases?""No I'm sorry. I'll tell you sometime when you'll be free to talk to me. Good night."Ruhan left the place leaving Anshika confused and angry.Anshika woke up early next morning and started helping around with all the arrangements. Siya and Aditya met and talked about how Anshika was spoiling her sleep just to make their wedding a grand one. "Calm down Anshika. Have a drink."Aditya came in with a cold drink.Drinking from the glass they talked."You're putting in so much of efforts for us!""Oh shut up! You guys are the best of friends and I'll make sure all the functions go really well!""I think you should get some rest now and get ready for the mehendi function!""I'll just complete instructing for the decorations and........""Oh no! You're not doing that!" Aditya almost pushed her and got her into her room. Inside the room Siya was getting ready and grew happy on finding Anshika. "Where were you?""Just make her understand Siya, she is so busy doing all preparations. She has to get ready herself as well right?""Okay Adi, it's ladies' time now. Will meet you at the function.""Bye honey!"Aditya left closing the room door.The beautician laughed on their conversation as Anshika got ready along with Siya."You look so sexy Siya!" Anshika observed her."What?" Siya laughed out."Yes yes!" "You don't look less either." Siya complimented on Anshika's looks.The mehendi set up was already made by the time everyone reached outside.
