In Dono Ki Kahani...

Chapter 17

ANJALI'S POV:

I awoke my eyes to my face all sweaty and my heart beating fast as ever as I thought about what the consequences would be if Shehry had heard me. Shahid uski dost banne se pehle hi use kho dungi...What?!?! Yeh kya bakwaas kar rahi hai Anjali..yaad hai..noodles mall.arrogant.. I reminded myself...

I lowered the covers off my face and sat up straight. I moved my head to my right to find Anu missing. I glanced to my left and then right again. Then I shifted my gaze to the bathroom doors which were open.

"Anu" I called but no one replied. Seems like shes not in the room I thought.

Then my eyes caught sight of the clock. 12!!!

I lifted the covers off of me instantly as I ran for the bathroom but I heard chuckles coming through the door. I recognized Anu's voice... I wondered who else was here. Brushing all my thoughts aside I ran into the bathroom.

SHEHRY'S POV:

We were at Bhabhi's place today because Bhabhi and her family held a family lunch. I wore a tight black shirt with black skinny pants and my sneakers. Anu was down as we entered so we started talking with her and Bhabhi. Man, I was gonna miss India so much.

As I took my seat, my eyes searched for Anjali. For some reason, I couldnt stop thinking about what she had said yesterday...Was it just me or did she really say that. You sound to conceited Shehry I thought. Maybe I can tell her by her behavior towards me. But if she ever came down. My eyes kept shifting to the stairway. I guess Bhabhi noticed.

"Anjali he kaha vese" Bhabhi said to Anu casually. "Shahid kisi ko intezaar.." she trailed off.

Everybody's eyes shifted at me. "Nahin Bhabhi woh-" I defended.

"Araay mene kab kaha ke TUM ko intezaar hai" she said embarassing me.

I opened my mouth but shut it realzing I had nothing to say. I just looked down.

ANJALI'S POV:

I came out of the bathroom and went to my luggage. I wore a gray batman shirt with white skinny jeans. I rinsed out my hair because I washed it and put on a gray beanie with my converse. I wore my raybans eye glasses and headed downstairs. (Ignore the mini shorts in the picture)

I quickly walked to the stairs and lowered my speed as I descended down the stairs. All eyes fell upon me.. Still confused, I brushed it away and attempted conversation.

"Hey guys" I said grabbing an apple sitting down in the empty seat next to Jiju.

"Umm Shehry toh waha bheta hai" he teased me. I played along. I dont know what had gotten into me but I stood up and sat down real close next to Shehry. I couldnt help but smile as my leg brushed against his and our shoulders touched.

I shifted my head and turned it to him. I looked at his confused face and lightly smirked smiling.

"Aab tikh hai" I said asking Jiju.

Everyone chuckled yet Shehry still seemed to be distraught.

"Umm bhar kone pe ek mela laga hai...were going rite" I said proposing an idea.

SHEHRY'S POV:

Something is wrong...aaj kuch zyaada hi hype nahi ho rahi yeh larki...Vese toh mere se das kadam dhoor bhi nahin khari hoti aur aaj apne aap hi mere paas aake bhet gayi...Kuch toh garbar hai...

"Umm bhar kone pe ek mela laga hai...were going rite" Anjali asked

"Haan haan kyun nahin infact abhi chalte hai..naasta toh kar liya hai" Sarfaraz said.
