Imperfect Love

part 16

They were sitting together on the couch, trying to distract themselves from all that happened. Preesha moved forward and cuddled Rudra, hiding her face in his chest. He giggled a little.

Rudra: Preesha! What's your favourite series? Or movie?

Preesha: Switch off the TV, Rudra.

Rudra: Why? Is there a problem? What happened?

Preesha: Turn off the TV, and turn on the radio. The weather is windy, it seems like it will rain. I love to listen to classic 90s songs in this weather. It makes me feel comfortable, like the main character.

Rudra: As you wish! Should I randomly shuffle my playlist?

Preesha: I have one already. I'll play that :)

He turned on the radio and "Lag ja galey" started playing on it. It was one of Preesha's favourite songs. She laid down, on Rudra's lap, while he caressed her face.

Preesha: Rudra, you're ok?

Rudra: Of course, Preesha! Why would you ask that?

Preesha: I don't know. Maybe, because I am behaving differently? I have never been so cozy with you, maybe you're feeling uncomfortable?

Rudra: Of course not, Preesha. I'm ok, in fact, I'm loving it here. *winks*

Preesha blushed at the wink. She sat up and looked at Rudra, straight into his eyes. His eyes were so deep, but not fulled of emotions, like hers was. He had a very traumatic childhood, which made him devoid of emotions.

Preesha: Rudra, would you like to tell me something?

Rudra: What?

Preesha: Anything! Any past incident, about your family, your childhood.

There was a cold still face on the mention of childhood. He never wanted to recollect those memories. At the mention of childhood, he only remembered his father beating him to the point he fainted, him being forced to train himself in music, and getting humiliated, bullied, cursed and what not.

Preesha kept her hand on his shoulder, comforting him. She could sense his mind by looking at his eyes. She hugged him tightly again. He immediately hugged her back, tears forming in his eyes.

Rudra: Preesha! Once you know me, you'll know everything about me, my past, my family. I'll tell you myself! But, right now, let's be happy, and spend our time together. Look your favourite song is about to finish. We didn't get an inch closer, going with the lyrics 🌚

Preesha's eyes grew wide. "Shut up, Rudra!" was her immediate response. She blushed again and hit him playfully. He laughed at her blushing and they both started laughing.

Preesha requested Rudra to have dinner with her, which he could not refuse. Preesha was surprised at the great cooking skills he had, mixing items, adding spices and what not. Preesha sat there, watching him from behind. Once the food was cooked, they had their dinner. Post dinner, they were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Rudra checked the time in his wrist watch and looked at Preesha.

Rudra: Preesha, I'll have to go before the weather worsens. Take care! Good Night

Both of them stood up. As he was leaving, Preesha held his hand from behind. He stopped and turned around.

Rudra: What happened, Preesha?

Preesha: Rudra, please don't leave. I'll not be able to sleep🥺 please don't go. The weather is already so bad. Call your mum and tell her you'll not be home tonight. PLEASE!

Rudra had to go home, because he had to talk to Mishka about their plan. But, he couldn't resist the pouty, baby face Preesha made. Moreover, Balraj was out of the city for a business trip so he did not have to worry about that. He nodded and stayed there. He called up Sharda to tell her.

Preesha had gone to the kitchen to bring coffee. She came and sat there, but didn't realise that he was on a call, and started talking. Rudra was making an excuse in the name of his friend, but listening to her voice, Sharda was confused.

Sharda: Who's house are you exactly at, Rudra?

".... his girlfriend, aunty!" Preesha interrupted. She was in a fun, jolly mood and decided to have some fun with him.

Sharda was surprised.

Rudra: No no ma, let me explain! She is...

The network was choppy due to bad weather, so the call cut suddenly.

Rudra looked at Preesha.

Rudra: What did you do? Preesha! What did you just say to my mom? You don't realise. If my dad knows about it, I'll be over.

Preesha: Relax, Rudra! I was just having some fun. Aren't you allowed to have a girlfriend? And anyways, I'll come to your house tomorrow and I'll apologise to aunty. Here, have your coffee.

She handed him the mug and they both started sipping their coffee. It was windy outside, and raining hard too. There was an awkward silence between them. The sound of music was all around, the all-time classics playing 🤍

OKK! IDK IF THIS WAS A GOOD ONE, BUT IT WAS LENGTHIER THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. IDK I SUCK AT WRITING. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO READ SOME OTHER WATTPAD BOOKS TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS. MY SCHOOL HAS STARTED SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO UPDATE THIS OFTEN. BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST!
