Ek din kabhi jo
Khudko tarashe
Meri nazar se tu zara haaye re
Aankhon se teri kya kya chhupa hai
Tujhko dikhau mai zara haaye re
Ek ankahin ki dastan dastan aa
Padhne lagega aaina...
Subhanallah aa aa aa
Jo ho raha hai
Pehli dafa hai wallah aaa...
Aisa hua...

Aakriti's POV
Annoying creatures.
I looked at my nani and him who were too engrossed in talking about silly stuffs. I was trying my best to ignore them but I couldn't help whenever I heard his deep voice.
He must be good at singing. I thought.
" This cheese paratha is very tasty Mrs. Malhotra " he said taking a small bite.
And my gaze unknowingly got fixed on his heart shaped lips which was glistening with the food oil looking effortlessly shiny.
He licked his lips and I felt thirsty all of sudden. The way his lips perfectly moved whenever he was saying something made me gulp.
Wtf ?
I quickly looked at my plate and realised I haven't ate much. I was just playing with the food.
Shrugging off the silly thoughts, I made a bite for myself and had it.
" Oh dear please call me nani and you know I'm making this since a very long time. Aakriti likes it very much and even her mother- "
My ears automatically got alerted at the mention of my mother.
I clenched my jaw controlling the emotions which erupted in my heart at her words. I looked at nani and her wide smile faded as she realised what she was going to say.
Okay.
So now I had enough idea where this conversation was going.
Dhruv was looking clueless but I knew what I have to do now.
I have to leave with him before he get to know something he shouldn't. And something I don't want him to know and no one else.
Gathering all my courage I stood up and grabbed him by his arm making him stand up.
I quickly tried to form some words.
" We must leave now. Alot of work is pending. "
Nani quickly changed her facial expressions. She's good at hiding what's going in her mind. I too got this skill inside me.
And without waiting for anything further I started walking with fast steps. And it didn't took much time in going outside from the mansion.
His hand felt cold. I unknowingly intertwined his hand with mine feeling his cold palms. His hand was bigger than mine.
" Call the driver, we're leaving for the office "
I said. And he took few seconds in comprehending my words before nodding at me.
" What ? " I asked when I noticed him unmoved.
" M-my hand ? " He said and I immediately left his hand only to miss the comforting grip.
Comforting ? No way.
Or
Maybe yes.
I stood there patiently waiting while struggling with my inner thoughts.
I shouldn't be doing this. I said to myself.
The driver arrived in few minutes and we both got settled in the car.
This time he himself sat on the backseat. With me.
Tf ?
I immediately shooed that weird thought.
The car started and I looked outside.
I hadn't ate anything much that's why I was feeling hungry and soon my stomach made a grumbling sound.
I quickly coughed two three times so supress that sound. Few minutes passed and my hunger was getting worse and I was feeling slightly irritated.
I quickly bend a little down to remove my heels.
But to worsen my problems the belt of the heel I was wearing in my left feet got stucked.
I tried to pull it but it stucked even more.
My back was hurting till now. I looked at him and to my suprise he was also looking at me with his lips slightly curved upwards.
I passed him a glare and his smile vanished.
" May I help ? " He asked trying his best not to sound nervous.
" No. I'll manage " I said only to regret the next moment. The pin in the belt of my heel pricked my finger and I jumped with the pain.
" Aahh " I hissed.
Honestly I can bear the biggest wounds but these tiniest ones hurt me the most.
And what happened next was none of the expectations.
He pulled me by my arm and my body turned towards him. He immediately lifted my left leg and kept it carefully on his right thigh.
I just kept looking at him unmoved.
His fingers quickly worked on the belts of my heel and in no seconds he unbuckled it.
How he did that so easily ? I thought.
He removed my heel and toes relaxed.
I looked at my finger which was slightly covered with blood. Unknowingly tears filled my eyes.
He grabbed my wrist and looked at me.
" What were you doing ? " He asked in a low tone and I could sense the anger in his voice. more tears filled my eyes ready to spill out at any moment.
I gulped and looked away controlling my tears. And before they could roll down I felt his palm against my cheeks, wiping the tear even before it could fell. I looked at him shockingly.
How he could be this daring ? I'll deal with him later.
Tears again blurred my vision and I wiped them quickly.
I jerked his hand from mine sat straight only to feel him grabbing my wrist again.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped my blood covered finger.
" I don't need this. " I said when I saw him taking out a bandaid from his wallet.
He royally ignored my words and applied it around my finger. I immediately jerked his hand away and looked outside.
From where the fvck he's getting this much guts ? He's my fvcking PA.
My stomach made another grumbling sound and I'll be a fool thinking he hadn't heard this time.
I looked at him and found him already looking at me with a straight face.
I again looked away.
" Please take a turn to any restaurant nearby " I heard him saying and I immediately snapped my head towards him.
After saying this to the driver he looked at him only to find me already looking cum glaring at him.
" Why do you want to go to a restaurant ? I'm not hungry " I said only to regret the next moment as my stomach made another grumbling sound.
" I am hungry. " He said and I nodded at him.
Didn't he ate his breakfast already, for 2 times ?
I sat straight again and in few minutes the car came to hault.
I looked at my bare feet and sighed.
I have to wear that bitchy heels again.
But before I could bend to grab my heels the door of my side opened and I found him holding the door while looking at me.
" What ? " I said when I found his gaze unmoved from me.
Isn't he the same guy who couldn't even hold an eye contact with me for more than 10 seconds ?
" Here,Wear this. They're uncomfortable." He said and squat down only to keep a pair of white sneakers before me.
From where did he got them ??
" I brought them from my friend, he has a shoe shop here. " He answered my unasked question.
I nodded at him.
He then made me wear those. I got out from the car and closed the door behind.
We both walked ahead and out of nowhere I felt a sudden urge to match his steps,which I silently did.
***********
" Are you sure you don't want to eat anything? " He asked for the second time.
I gulped and looked at his plate. Pasta ahh !
" Um...NO ! " I exclaimed ignoring my grumbling stomach.
I should have said a yes. I thought looking at the pasta plate.
" I...I can I m-mean I can taste it and tell you how it tastes before you taste it. " I said nonchalantly. He just looked at me dumbfounded and smiled a little.
" Sure. " He said forwarding the plate of pasta. There was a teasing smile on his face but soon vanished when I glared at him.
My stomach made another grumbling sound and I immediately shutted it by stuffing a spoonful of pasta in my mouth.
And trust me, at that time I felt like if heaven could be any food then it must be this.
I closed my eyes letting that heavenly taste melt in my mouth. But I wasn't alone... realisation hit me and I immediately opened my eyes composing a serious look on my face.
He chuckled slowly but I heard it.
" So can I eat now ? " He asked and my heartbeats fastened without any reason.
And as expected my hunger took over my ego and I said.
" Nhi rehne do. Tum nhi khaa paaoge. It tastes so gross. Order something else. "
( No leave it. You won't be able to eat. )
I tried to look normal while saying that. He just nodded and smiled.
Isn't he smiling alot today ? I thought.
" Then what about this ? " He asked pointing at my pasta plate.
" Um... I'll eat this. Taste doesn't matter to me and I don't like wasting money and food. " I said nonchalantly.
And he smiled again. I then engrossed myself in eating my heart out.
And in very less time I finished it and satisfaction washed over me as I felt contented inside.
Tasty food can make me feel good.
But he hasn't ordered anything for him yet.
Wasn't he hungry?
" You won't eat anything ? " I asked and he shook his head in denial.
" I will eat later when I will feel like eating as I don't need to make excuses for that. " He said and I gulped understanding his words.
" S-sorry. I was hungry, I didn't had my breakfast. " I said looking down, feeling embarassed at myself.
" It's alright, sometimes it's okay not to be okay... You know you do not have to always act like you're fine. " He said and unknowingly I understood the depth of his words.
He was saying truth, I am really acting most of the time...as if I do not feel anything.
" Act ? I do not act. " I said not wanting him to be correct in himself.
" You are exactly doing that right now. " He said slightly leaning in my direction.
" Am I ? How ? " My egoistic side argued further.
" Um, i think that you act and show the world that you don't need anyone and- "
He said and I don't know what got into me that I raised my voice slightly and said.
" So what ? It's not like I need anyone, I'm enough for me. "
He smiled and his next words made goosebumps erupt on my body as I could deeply co-relate with it.
" we are humans miss Malhotra, we all need someone to hold us...we can survive alone but we need someone to live with. Accept or not but it's fact. " I gulped hearing his words.
Do I need someone ?
Yes. A fucking big yes. I could feel myself getting shattered slowly every day and deep inside I also wanted someone to hold and keep me all together...to stop me from getting shattered like I'll never be glued like before.
I could feel myself breaking apart every day, every moment.
But I couldn't let this thought win over me.
Because I know, I won't get anyone or maybe no one would understand me ever.
I am inscrutable.
While getting therapy sessions I too realised that I'm a hard nut to crack.
And it will take a lot of time and patience in understanding me which I clearly had not.
That's why even I couldn't understand myself.
Sometimes it's really difficult for me to understand what I actually want.
And even I couldn't get my emotions and feelings then who would ?
Jo insaan khud ko hi nhi samjh paa raha hai usse kon samjhenga ?
( Who will understand a person who cannot understand herself ? )
And this was the reason I never tried approaching anyone because I knew he'll get fed up at a time and will leave me at a point.
And it'll hurt me.
I'll get attached and they'll leave me.
I can't afford to bear the pain of attachments...and at this phase absolutely not.
No one can bear me even me myself cannot.
How I'll deal with this world all alone ?
And what would I expect when my own parents aren't with me ?
What would I expect from the world when my own parents didn't understood my feelings ?
I closed the shutter of my thoughts that'll end up making me cry hard.
I couldn't even cry...I feel so empty that I couldn't even feel tears inside me.
I shook my head twice and looked at him only to find him already looking back at me.
His eyes held some different emotions and shine.
A shine of hope.
He was looking at me like...
He never wants to look away ?
" Dhruv ? " I called out his name.
" Hmm ? " He asked raising his left eyebrow still looking at me the same way.
" Um,the bill. " I said pointing at the waiter who was standing beside him probably asking for the bill and he immediately came out of his thoughts.
I chuckled silently.
" Y-yeah yeah " he said nervously and took out his pink wallet.
