MY HEART CHOSE YOU ✅ (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 43

MAANYA POV

"I can stay back..." Aditi mumbles.

"No please don't, You know she will be upset with herself if you miss this opportunity," I reply adding sugar to my boiling tea.

"But I feel guilty, leaving her like this." She groans.

"Adi?! We all know this is a lifetime opportunity for you. You were so excited about this day. Then what happened now?!" I ask agitated with her whining, lost in thoughts about Paakhi.

"You are exaggerating about this being a lifetime opportunity." Her cheeks flush with ruddiness.

"You going to the most talked over fashion show is not a big deal?" I ask overstating.

"As a helper! And I will be backstage for the whole time." I hear the despair in her voice.

"D! Paakhi always says that it doesn't matter what part of your wish comes true, you should enjoy every moment of that part, no matter how big or small." She smiles at my words and her giddiness return.

"Okay then, take care of my angel and if anything happens call me right away." I nod and walk her to the door.

As she enters the elevator, I close the door and walk into the kitchen to take the tray to Paakhi's room.

I knock twice and enter with a hopeful smile. But it instantly vanishes when I see Paakhi leaning on her window, what bothers me is her attire from yesterday night and the dark circles marring her tranquil face.

"Did you even sleep?" I ask worriedly.

She stands still, lost in her thoughts.

I settle the plate on the table beside me and walk towards her. I gradually put my hand on her shoulder and tug her around.

"Are you okay?" She nods her head and looks at the tray I brought with me.

"I brought you your favourite masala tea and bread Pakoda's" I announce happily.

"Thank you Maanu but I'm not hungry." She says and strolls towards her bed.

"What?! I woke up early and prepared all these for you! And you are not hungry?!" I ask dramatically.

She rolls her eyes at me and says, "This hardly takes 20 minutes."

"My time matters and not my sentiments! " I fake sob.

"Stop being a drama queen, and come here." She says slightly smiling.

I rush towards her with the tray in my hands and settle it down between us.

She picks up one Pakoda and eats it, I start talking about the new tea leaves we bought and all other nonsense, to keep her distracted.

After we finish off the last piece on the plate, Paakhi asks  "Where is Aditi?"

"You remember her after eating everything?" She flushes and I laugh.

"Today is her day helping in that fashion show," I inform collecting the small bread crumbs from her bed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, how rude of me." She mumbles sadly.

"Hey,  you were occupied with your own troubles." I ensure her.

Before she could say anything her mobile noose.
We both look around for her phone, I even kneel and check under her bed.

"Got it!" She exclaims and picks up the call.
