Finding True Love

Weekend...

Risha POV

We were walking along the way surrounded by the flowers. After few minutes of walking Abhi took me to a butterfly nursery. There was a lots of butterflies. And the view is really fascinating. Abhi took inside. When we are inside the nursery, Abhi extended his hand and those butterflies perched on his palm. A beautiful smile appeared on his face. And I didn't miss to capture that moment. I never saw him this much happy around anyone.

“Wanna hold them?” Abhi looked at me and offered. I nodded happily. “Come here.” I went to him and he pulled me in front of him and held my hand high just like him. Then the butterflies perched on my palm. Wow...It feels great. Abhi took some selfies of us with those butterflies.

“Abhi, that’s awesome. How did you find this place?” I asked him, when left the nursery and he was taking me somewhere else.

“I was in college when I found this place. It's so refreshing. It helped me to forget all the worries for sometimes,” he gave a sad smile remembering those days. I squeezed his hand lightly. He really endured such dread days.

“Let's eat something before we start our journey again,” he took me to a diner. “The food is so delicious here. You will love it,” we sat on table and a middle aged woman came to take our order.

“Hello, Abhiudey. You haven't came here for a long time and I can see you have a company today,” Abhi smiled at the lady's comment.

“I was got busy with work, Ruby. Didn't get time to come. And meet my friend, Risha. Risha, this is Ruby. It's her diner.” Abhi introduced me with the lady.

“Hi, Ruby.” I greeted her.

“Hello, dear,” she gave a sweet smile. “Nice to meet you. It's the first time he bring someone with him. You must be special.” I looked at Abhi and he gave me a nervous smile.

“Ahem.. Ruby can you take our order please?” Abhi told her.

“Ops sorry. I totally forget about that.” Then Ruby took our order and left. I turned to Abhi. He was looking at me.

“You didn't bring anyone here before. So why me?”

“As Ruby said, you are special.” He answered looking at me. My heart flattered at his comment. Am I really that special to him. We were looking at each other when Ruby brought our order. We finished our food and left for our next destination.

Next he took me to a dog breeding nursery. As soon as we stepped inside, a dog running towards us and jumped at Abhi. I first got scared and squealed. Then saw he was licking Abhi's face and Abhi was also patting his back and laughing. Oww.. What a affection!

I can bet no one has ever seen this side of Abhi. I wish I could show the world that he isn't arrogant, heartless. He also has a pure and soft heart.

“Risha, meet, Bruno my first friend. And Bruno, she is Risha, my best friend.” He introduced me with his first friend.

“Hi, Bruno. Nice to meet you.” He barked at that. His way to say hello. We played entire afternoon with Bruno. Here I saw a carefree, happy Abhi. In this meantime Bruno and I became friend. We said good bye to Bruno and left.

When we were crossing the road, A car suddenly rushed towards us and Abhi pulled me to the side of the road. The car passed away. It was near an accident. I could have died. What a joke! Well, not for Abhi. He still hugging me for his dear life.

“Abhi. Abhi, it's ok. I am fine. Look.” I tried to pulled away but he didn't move. I squeezed his back and hold him until he didn't pulled apart. But when he did, he looked terrible. He was afraid.

“Abhi, Look nothing happened. I am absolutely okay.” I reassured him and make him sit on the car.

“Wait here. I am going to buy water. I will be back soon.” But he didn't let me go. Instead he hugged me again. Why is he so afraid. “Ok. I am not going anywhere. Calm down.” After a while, he pulled back. “You okay?” he nodded.

“I am sorry. I was...” He couldn't complete the sentence.

“It's ok, Abhi,” I reassured him. “Let's go to home. Can you drive or I will,” I asked him.

“No, I can.” He gave me a small smile which didn't reach his eyes. But I didn't pushed the matter. We got inside the car and he started drive.

The weather got bad after a while. And it was getting worst. I can see Abhi can't kept driving in this condition. So I told him to stop the car.

“Abhi we can't go in this weather. Let's stay somewhere near.” I suggested and he sighed.

“Let me check if there is any hotel or not. You stay inside the car.” He got out of the car and went nearby shop and came back after sometime. “The shopkeeper said, there is a motel nearby. We can stay there for the night,” He informed me and I nodded. The drive to the motel was quick. He parked the car beside the road and we went inside.

“Excuse me.” There was no one at the reception. We waited there for sometime. And a 22 years girl come after a while.

“How can I help you, sir?” he asked Abhi in seductive tone. Abhi didn't even look at her.

“We need a room.” I told her rudely.

“There is only one room available. You can take it, handsome. If you want, you can also share it with me.” Abhi smiled awkwardly. How dare she! Flirting with my husband in front of me. Wait...Am I jealous? Jealous or not, she has no right to flirt Abhi.

“There's no need. We can share.” I told her, pulling Abhi close to me and gave her a forced smile. Abhi tried so hard to control his laughter. The girl glared at me.

“Well, you can’t stay here with a guy. It's not the place for your pleasure.” Who the hell is she to tell me this.

“He is not any guy to me. He is my HUSBAND! And dare you to keep your eyes to yourself,” I warned her. She was taken aback at my outburst. And Abhi was shocked, me as well. I didn't react that much before. Not even when the lady doctors flirted with Alex.

The girl didn't say anything. She gave us the key. Abhi took the key and we left for our room.
