chapter-18

Hey lovelies, how are you people.

I decided to edit the last two chapters making a few changes.

☆EVARA☆

After unpacking, I changed myself in a cotton thigh length top and a loose track pants and sat on the bed, beside Nitya.

She travelled all the way just convince me, I guess we both missed each other. She isn't mad at me, that's a relief. I should let go of the past and start over.

I laid down and tried to sleep but I don't why but I just couldn't sleep.

I am happy to meet everyone, I really missed, aunty's food. I am lucky that her family still loves me, after all these years and our bond is same as before.

I tried to sleep but I don't know why but sleep was miles away from me. My mind suggested me to go for a walk so I got off the bed and came out of the room.

My feet took me near the main door, I tuned the knob and pulled it a little but it didn't work, the door was still locked.

I furrowed my brows and tried again, but instead a strange sound came and my eyes caught the lock at the top of  the door.

I stood on my toes to reach the lock just then I heard a raspy voice near me, I got startled with sudden voice.

" What are you doing?" I slowly turned around only to find the almond brown eyes looking intently at my figure.

"Actually...I couldn't sleep, so.." I indicated at the door trying to make him understand the rest of the sentence.

"So you decided to sneak out, alone." He asked tilting his head a little, pressuring  on the word alone.

Ah.. I forgot that I am not in Mumbai. Delhi is very silent and dangerous at night, while Mumbai never sleeps.

" I just want some fresh air and it's not like I was going too far." I argued whispering not wanting to wake up the other people in the house.

"Ok, then let me.." he marched toward me.

He was soon, just inches away from me, I backed a little, my back touched the door, he raised his hand and opened the lock. He distanced a little and looked at me finishing his sentence " come with you."

I thought for a second and agreed, let's hope it doesn't turns awkward.

" After you." He motioned his hand to walk ahead.

I walked out and he slowly closed the door. We walked for a while and reached near a park, my eyes caught the sight the same bench where, I once sat.

Excitement erupted in me, I tapped his should showing him " look that's the same bench, where I sat when my feet were hurting and you massaged them." I immediately regretted saying those words.

I could feel his stare, I turned my face to look at his. The moment my eyes met him, they got captured by his eyes. I could feel my heart beating a bit faster, just at the mere eye contact.

Our surrounding was so silent that I could heart our hearts beating at the same speed.

I wanted to avert my eyes but I couldn't .His gaze was so intense that I felt getting pinned down by his gaze.

We both were busy staring into each other's eyes, suddenly I felt a pull and bike rushed from beside me.

He protectively held me in his embrace, he left me and glanced at me with concer " are you ok?" I just simply nodded.

" Let's head back, It's late." I hummed and we walked back.

I wished him 'good night' and went to bed.

■Next morning■

My eyes flutter opened at someone's continues knocking on the door, I found myself alone on the bed, looks like Nitya is already up.

KNOCK          KNOCK

I lazily dragged myself to open the door. Nitya was there with two cups.

" Good morning, darling." She cheered.

" Good morning."

" So what do you what Tea or coffee?" She asked showing me the cups.

I yawned, before telling her " coffee would be better."

" I knew it."

"Get ready, let's have breakfast, you have to visit your house." She added.

"Ok, I'll be quick." I spoke rushing to the washroom with the towel after finishing the coffee.

I came out wearing a black top,black skinny jeans and a full length red coloured net shrug.

After blow-drying my hairs and getting all ready, I walked out of the room, I was so excited to see my parents.

The moment I stepped my feet out of the room, I came face to face with Anshuman, he was also exiting his room.

He was looking so handsome in his white t-shirt, blue jeans and grey blazer. His hair all gelled up and that stuble of his that suits him so well.

Our eyes met and all the flashback of last night started to replay in my mind.

He broke the eye contact and admired me with a little smile while I praise him in my mind.

I heard some footsteps and rushed towards the stairs to get down, I encountered Nitya on stairs.

"Let's go the breakfast is ready." We headed the the dining table.

I finished my breakfast and was ready to go upstairs to get my luggage when aunty called me.

"Are you going alone, Eva." She asked.

"Yes aunty, I can." I told her.

"It's too far beta, Anshuman will drop you." She said.

I looked at him and found him already looking at me.

"No Aunty, don't worry about me, I am not that little girl now." I joked.

Everyone chuckled, I came back with my luggage, I bid goodbye to everyone and walked out of the house, just then a black car stopped in front of me.

The glasses of the car rolled down and I saw Anshuman who signaled me sit in the car but I didn't and then aunty came and said that I should go with him.

I can't argue with her so just got into the car. The drive was silent.

"Why did you left Delhi?" He questioned looking at the road ahead.

"Huh!"

"Was it because of me." He looked straight into my eyes, his eyes were filled with soft emotions this time.

I shook my head in negative and answered him "Nah, my uncle passed away and Erica was alone with aunty, so someone had go and since I always wanted to be a professional photographer, I thought Mumbai would be a good choice to start."

" Thank god, I thought, I put you in a situation where you have to move away from your friend and family."  He sighed.

" Don't worry, I told you I always saw you as my friend's brother only, nothing else." I muttered making myself believe the same sentence

"Ohh!"

" What's that ohh for, does he still have feeling for me?" I wondered to myself.

" Nah, he has a girlfriend." Then I replied to myself.

I once saw him in Erica's social media, he was with a girl at a club or something, when I asked Erica who that girl was, she told me she was his girlfriend.

Both the siblings have moved on, I should also let go of the past and move on.
