"In every lifetime, in every world, I would find you and choose you."
The envelope sat on the desk, untouched. Its edges were frayed, reflecting the decade that had passed. The handwriting on the front was unmistakable - sharp, deliberate strokes th...
" Shouldn't we inform his family?" Arjun was the one to ask.
" Of course we should, and I think we should also inform his fiancée, Neeti." Prateek chimed in.
" Yes, but, Uncle and his family are currently on a Rameshwaram trip, you see.... But I totally think we should tell Neeti bhabhi." Arjith said as a matter of fact.
Hearing him call Neeti 'bhabhi' , Prateek chuckled inwardly. The princess doesn't know, soon, Neeti 'bhabhi' ( sister in law) will be out, and Sid 'jija' ( brother in law ) will be in....
Neha, who was silent for the whole time spoke up " I think it's better to ask Abhishek himself, or Siddharth.."
They peeked at Siddharth and Abhishek who were inside the hospital room. Abhishek had just woken up from his slumber, and Siddharth was feeding him porridge. Arjun and Abhishek felt nothing wrong, and mistook their affection to be brotherly love, as they didn't know yet... As Prateek told, Arjith would get a heart attack, and Arjun was a loudmouth sometimes.
But Neha was fretting slightly, because she felt that their actions were literally shouting 'love' Siddharth was scooping up porridge, blowing on it to cool it, and then feeding Abhishek, occasionally wiping his mouth as well. There was a light smile on his face, and Abhishek was eating whatever he was being fed, obediently like a little boy. His eyes were glued to Siddharth's face. Siddharth was eyeing him furtively now and then, slightly reprimanding him for staring.
Seeing that, Arjun blurted out, without thinking " I don't think he needs Neeti now.... Siddharth is more than enough.." Neha got a shock, and Prateek nearly spat out whatever he was drinking. Arjith looked at both in confusion, and Prateek earned a glare from Neha.
Inside the room, Abhishek was staring at Siddharth like there was no tomorrow. He tried to sit up properly and Siddharth ended up spilling a little porridge on his shirt. Siddharth immediately stood up, and got busy wiping the spillage off. Without him realizing, his face had come quite close to Abhishek's. Now, Abhishek was having a full view of his chiseled jawline, his enamoring almond eyes and... and his luscious lips... Abhishek suddenly imagined himself kissing, licking and gently nibbling those heavenly lips..... The mere thought brought him pleasure... He quickly brushed those thoughts off.. It was only the first day, and he didn't want to offend Siddharth, or seem lusting.
When he was dreaming, Siddharth noticed that Abhishek was staring at his lips, and was unconsciously licking his own lips. Well....... let's see who is more shameless, he thought. He knew that anyone could be peeping in through the clear glass part of the door. He could be shameless, but he didn't want to get people gossiping. So, he quickly turned, his back facing the door and his frame hiding Abhishek's face from anyone who would peep, and gave Abhishek a light peck on his cheek. All this was over in a flash, and he was quickly back in his seat, with a smug smile..

For a second, Abhishek was stunned. That was the first time someone kissed him, albeit on the cheek. Sure enough, he liked it, and flashed a lustful look at Siddharth. Almost reading his mind, Siddharth said " I saw you stare. Let people leave, I'll let you taste my lips........."
