Chapter - 25 : Her Feelings

~Angel~

I called Sachin  to tell him that my father has agreed to let me stay in Mumbai and he may move with me.

I could feel happiness in his voice.  I miss him - - - Ruhi as well. But, here I am since 5 days. Also, I am worried about Ruhi, scared from the couple - - - the ones who claimed Ruhi as their daughter. But I could feel Sachin relaxed - - the things must be fine then.

Before I could ask about that little brat, my father called me and I had to disconnect the call. I know she must be super angry with me.

I moved to my dad and he had been waiting for me for tea. We relished the tea and I asked him about the dinner, at which he surprised me by proposing that we'll go out for dinner. I was elated and I hugged him. Meanwhile, his phone rang and he got busy with it. While I trailed back to my thoughts.

I am missing them - - Ruhi and Sachin. This man has made a special place in my heart. Ever since the day he decided to adopt that infant girl who is now a little naughty girl  of 5 years, Sachin has made a place in my heart.

He seemed passionate and ambitious but he's a soft hearted person. He's just like a coconut, hard from outer appearance and soft from inside. When he declared that he will adopt the little girl, he won my heart. Not everyone thinks the way he does. Not everyone takes such responsibilities but he took it and he's doing his best. The girl is not his part but she has adapted many habits of Sachin, and one of them is his anger and his love as well.

I smile unknowingly, thinking about Ruhi. She must be angry with Sachin and with me too. I unlocked my phone and it has mine and Ruhi's picture on the home screen.

I smeared the girls' face. She has become a habit for me because she often calls me home when she wants something and Sachin denies. She's a kid but at the same time she's intelligent enough and behaves accordingly. She pulls off her naughtiness only on Sachin. Sometimes, I also join her and we have great fun.

I surely miss them-- Both the father daughter. I could feel a change in Sachin's voice when I told him that I'll be back soon. I could feel him getting relieved. Maybe, he needs my help.

But! Is it so? Does he miss me the same way as I do? Well, I know that he relies on me for Ruhi, but does he hold any feelings for me? But, I never said anything.

Well! I do hold feelings for him. The day I got to know the gentle soul in him, I was impressed. He didn't care about society or any other thing. He just wanted to give a better life to the little girl and he is successful in it.

He relies on me for Ruhi, as if I'm her mom. Or maybe he can trust me. But, does he trust me with his life? Or does he really hold any feelings for me?

I don't know!

Now that my dad is talking about my marriage, I want to talk to Sachin. I can't leave them - - both father and daughter.

They are a part of my life now. I can't back off them. Neither do I want to marry anyone, except Sachin.

But, I don't know what to do? I am not sure of his feelings about me. Also, would Ruhi accept the change? Change of an aunt to a mom. I sigh deeply.

I don't know the reality, but I need to know it. I need to talk to Sachin. Also, I need to tell him my feelings. He's a friend, he'll understand. I smile and at the same time, my dad called me. It's time to go for dinner - it seems. I pick my phone and it buzzed. I opened it, it's a message from Sachin.

I laugh hard because it's Ruhi's picture - - girl's grumpy face with a mesage - - telling me that she's angry. It must be Ruhi's idea only. Following the picture, there is a message by Sachin, which has given me a new hope.

To be Continued.

What did sachin say in his message?

Stay tuned.
