DIL SE DIL TAK

Chapter - 13

Sana's Pov :-

As i curtained the window my eyes fell outside in the front garden of the house .

It's him from the front room .

The man who was jogging around in the garden wore a navy blue coloured sweat shirt with his grey coloured shorts .

What a great Combo

Mocked the inner voice . A smile crept on my face for his great fashion sense but somehow that's how a person is at his /her home .

He had his earphones plugged in his ears that too of a weird Color red .
I mean if it was me i would have definately preffered black or white color for the headphones .

Any normal person would .

They say when you stare a person for long you send them the signals of suspicion and the same happened here .

For a millisecond of time our eyes met as he looked at me shifting his gaze from his phone until I had curtained the window .

Did he just noticed me staring him ?

Before this overthinking head of mine could come into play there was another knock on the door and little did i knew that i was late .

Late for breakfast
Late for University

I opened the door but there was no one , instead i heard a sound from downstairs which was surely of Mrs Shukla .

"Shehnaaz please come down dear. The breakfast's ready ? "  Said Rita Aunty .

"Yes aunty ... Coming " i replied .

Who did just knocked on the door ?

The unresolved mystery .
I went inside my room and for the one last time looked at myself in the mirror .

Perfect

Said the inner me and i knew I looked fine .
Time for the first official meet with the Shukla's .

I bumped into a huge muscular chest and menly cologne hit my nose as i turned around closing the door of my room .

I shifted a two steps back and looked up at the person i bumped into .
It was HIM. 

His brown eyes scanned me from head to toe with no expression on his oh not so very , okay very very handsome face .

I cleared my throat making him return back from his own la la land .

He lowered his head and said
"Good morning Miss "

"Mrng mister Shukla "  i replied .

He had his tiny grin on his face as i replied back .
Before anyone of could speak further breaking the awkward silence that had spread in the air around us .
There was another final call from downstairs which was more like an order .

"Shehnaaz come downstairs .

Sidharth what r uh doing ? Come down.  the food is prepared . "  Said rita aunty .

"Yes mom " said Sidharth calmly .

Wait wait wait .
What ?
Sid
Sid what ?
Sidharth ?
Did i hear wrong ?
Sidharth?
I had heard this name .

Common you idiot your online friend Sidharth .

I again looked at him who had turned around to leave . I knew it is odd but i held his biceps and made him face me .  This time it was me who scanned his face .

The man who is or might not be my online friend

Friend ? Seriously when did you started making friends ?

Said the inner voice .
Oh common what else do I have to say ?

Looked at me with his eyes widened , Obviously shocked from my sudden act .

No matter even  if I had looked at him
for another hour or two i couldn't come to any conclusion .

The Sidharth i had looked for i had met him online and the Sidharth that stood infront of me , whether they were the same person or not could only be answered if I get to see the online one's picture.
And as i do remember unlike me he has posted his profile picture .

My poor mind had been so lost trying to come to a conclusion that i didn't realised that i was holding him from his biceps with our faces just inches apart as i stood onto my toes to have a close look of his face .

Sidharth , who stood infront of me had his eyes widened with a complete shock visible clearly on his face .
I cleared my thorat as i realised our intensity and took a few steps back while he  too did the same .

"Let's go down .. aunty's waiting " i said while my words stammered .

He just nooded his head with an expression of shock and confusion still visible on his face .

As i climbed the last stair , i was greeted by a old couple who looked too beautiful together .

The lady , Rita Aunty with her Husband stood there with a blissful smile on their faces

I couldn't help but pass them a smile .

It was the first time that i was meeting Mr Shukla .

I greeted him folding my both hands and said
"Namaste uncle "
He replied folding back his hands with the same gesture and a very genuine smile on his face

"Namaste beta .. nice to meet you .. i m Ashok Shukla . Now your uncle "

I gave him my most genuine smile that came from whithin .
Ashok uncle had the same good vibes like Rita aunty and i knew deep down my heart that i had been the luckiest to meet such a sweet family .

As we were seated on the dining table , Rita maa and the maid started serving the food . I stood up from my seat to help them but Rita aunty didn't let me saying that i was guest and that they don't let their guests work .

I had no other option rather then to sit back on my seat .

Ashok uncle who was seated on my left side leaving two seats in between on the seat where usually the head of the family sits or perhaps they shoe what in every single family drama .

Sidharth seated at my front busy on his face .

I couldn't help but steal glances of him trying to figure out if he was the same person until my whole world collapsed and i felt my cheeks turning red when i realised that he had been noticing me all the time watching him .

Fu**

Our eyes met again but this time it wasn't for a millisecond but for what felt like eternity .

Rita maa was the one who made me return back from the another world i was lost into by clearing her throat .

I almost jumped on my seat as i saw her standing beside with a bowl which   was probably filled with biryani .
She had that small mischievous grin on her face for what i didn't know .

"Should I pour the briyani ? " She asked in her sweet melodious voice and the earlier mischievous grin turned into a genuine one .

"Yes ...yes aunty "  i replied back .
