The Girl Downstairs

The Awaited Moment

Ritu didn't understand what just happened, so she quickly took the dry clothes from the rooftop and got inside her house.

Friend- Why did you say that, I really thought you confessed your feelings but you ruined everything.

Abhi- I was scared. I was scared of knowing how she would react. I confessed my feelings to her, which developed every second when I see her. I gave a comma to this story as I was scared she would put a full stop before our story starts.

Ritu's POV

Did he really propose or was he just pranking? Does he truly have feelings for me or was he just kidding? The way he looked into my eyes, those eyes which were filled with all the love someone could ever give me. Those eyes, which I would never be tired of staring at. Ugh... I'm going crazy.

Author's POV

With all his thoughts, Ritu drifts off to sleep.

Next morning

Ritu desperately wants to see him so rushes to the front door when she hears the gate sound. But to her disappointment, it was his dad. She gets inside the house, but she quickly comes as hears the door sound but unfortunately, it was her grandma. She again gets inside with a huge disappointment. And for the third time she hears the gate opening sound, she comes out with excitement but her excitement disappears within few seconds as it was Abhi's sister.

But she didn't observe a person who was secretly watching everything from the staircase who went inside chuckling by seeing her actions.

Evening around 4'o clock

Ritu goes to the rooftop "which was only an excuse to see him." She observes him sleeping peacefully from a window which immediately brought a smile to her lips. As her grandma sees her going to the rooftop in the afternoon time she immediately calls her down as it was sunny. Ritu giggles giving her a "NO" as a response. Abhi wakes up immediately after hearing her voice. He quickly goes to the rooftop.
He noticed Ritu sitting in the corner. Ritu on the other hand was trying not to blush. He observed Ritu giggling whenever she looked at him. He didn't know why she was chuckling all this time.

Abhi's POV

Why is she chuckling? Oh my god! Did she see me cuddling with my pillow? That's really embarrassing. What to do now? I better disappear from her sight.

After realizing why she was smiling all the time I couldn't show my face to her. I quickly went inside my house covering my face.

Evening

Abhi finds Ritu on the rooftop. He gathers all his courage to face her.

Abhi stands in front of Ritu, who was looking at him in confusion. Finally, after an awkward silence, Abhi spoke.

Abhi- Why were you smiling all this time?

Without answering the question, she questioned him back.

Ritu- Was it a prank or do you really have feelings for me?

Abhi blushed to the cutest pout he has ever seen, and he quickly responded.

Abhi- First you answer my question.

Ritu- OK, but tell me who were you imagining while cuddling with your pillow? "smirk"

Abhi looked straight into her eyes and took a step forward. He smiled at her adorably.

Abhi- Of course you. Who else would I imagine?

Ritu couldn't stop blushing. She bent her head down, which made her look cuter. On the other side, a big smile curved over Abhi's lips.

After few minutes, Ritu finally dared to look at him. She kept a normal face with a cute, little pout and questioned him, "Wait, are you comparing me with a pillow?"

Abhi couldn't stop chuckling at her cuteness.

Ritu- Wait let me tell this to my grandma.

She quickly runs away giggling at Abhi, who was dumbfounded there.
