Us Being Us (A Darshan Raval Fanfic)

XLVII. Before and After the Auditions

Aisha's POV:

"Tacky," the girls replied. We were shopping for our auditions. I shrugged and went back into the trial room. I changed into the last dress (refer image) and opened the door. "You had better like this," I threatened. They grinned and nodded. "Haash," I said and walked back in to change. "Adorable," the girls said as we left the mall. "You guys are so freaking annoying. This isn't nice, that isn't nice, tacky, too long, blah," I laughed. They grinned. 

"Oh god," I groaned as I flopped onto the couch after changing. "Kya hua?" Mamma asked. "I am tired. I changed 17 times," I giggled. She laughed and patted my head. I walked upstairs and laid down.

This was the biggest audition of my life. If I got this, I would be so lucky. Leaving my family would be a tad bit easier. Leaving Gabbu, too. The only problem? I would worry that he is gonna leave me. That he would fall in love with someone else and give up on me. 

After Dinner...

I walked to his house, thoughts overwhelming my head. I knocked on the door. "Hi, Ishu," he cheered. I smiled, nervously. He pulled me in and sat me down. "What's wrong, sweetie?" He asked, caressing my cheek. I shook my head. He hugged me and I buried my face to his neck. He looked at me. "I'm scared," I started. Taking a breath, I continued, "That you are going to leave me. Find someone prettier and smarter, someone way better than me and leave me. Give up on me. And leave me. Alone and broken again," wiping my tears away. He kissed my forehead and hugged me. "No way," he said, kissing my cheeks. "Even if I move away??" I asked. He nodded. I smiled. I needed that reassurance. I hugged him, one arm around his neck and the other under his arm on his shoulder. He hugged back, kissing my hair. 

Darshan's POV:

I felt wrong. Something was not right. Somewhere down the road, I knew I did not deserve Aisha. She was so perfect. 

Aisha pulled away and caressed my cheek. She smiled, tears still running down her face. Sighing intensely, she pecked my lips, passionately. She hugged me, resting her forehead on my temple and her nose on my cheek. I picked her up, bridal style, and took her to my room. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes, pulling the blanket over her. 

Five Days Later... At the Airport

Aisha was here!! I was so excited, I was practically bouncing.

Aisha's POV:

I ran to Uncle and Auntie and hugged them. "Hi, baccha. How was it?" Uncle asked. "Grand. It was so much fun. I met Shiamak Davar. He is so wonderful, eep," I rambled and laughed. Uncle chuckled. "Darshan?" I asked. "Here, Ishu," he said from behind me. "Eeep," I cheered and hugged him. He spun me around and I laughed. The girls' hugged their respective boyfriends while our parents waited, thinking about how crazy we were. Definitely. We ran to the cars and sat down, laughing our lungs out. 

By the time we reached home, I was sitting on Darshan's lap, drowsy. He played with my hair, making me more sleepy. I smiled, weakly and he grinned at me. 

Darshan's POV:

I looked at Aisha, asleep, hugging me around my neck, face pushed in my neck, cheek squished. She was so cute. I lifted her, bridal style, and took to her house. I removed her shoes and jacket and put them away. I sat down beside her and kissed her lips, pulling away quickly. She smiled and pulled me closer, unconsciously. I fell on top of her. She hugged me. I texted Ma to let her know I was staying back with Aisha. I laid next to her and she began playing with my hair. It helped her sleep. 

Having her with me, I knew I had everything. No voids to fill, complete, serene. But, as the days went by, I began to feel wrong. She was dating me of all people. She deserved so much more than me. She gave me all the extra love I did not deserve. I don't deserve her... do I?

A/N: I have a surprise coming up, really soon. I am really excited but I am not gonna tell you guys anytime soon. Because Gabbu ki izzat rakhni hai...😏😏 *runs away*
