Destined To Be

Chapter-20"Ice-cream Treat! "

We were just walking down the market, suddenly I(Aarohi) felt Neil's hand brushing on mine as the market was narrow our hands brushed occasionally, but every time it did a rush of an unknown feeling yet sweet went through my spine. Every time it rushed my spine it made me smile.

After an hour, the market started getting crowded as it was the peak time, six. Yes we were roaming around the market from late afternoon around four, buying things which I liked and eating street food, I was on my periods and due to that I was craving some tasty food and whenever I asked him to buy me anything or demand having any street food he was just giving me this answer 'Yes, her highness!' he knew just how to make my mood!

My thoughts were broken by his touch, he tangled our hands together and pulled me forward, moving aside the crowd, I asked him"Where are you taking me?" he replied with a wink"You will know!"

After walking out of the market he took me to a point called 'Gun Hill Point'. Clearly, the view was wow! The sunset, clouds running through us as we were on the peak of the mountain, and hand in hand, he hadn't left my hand. We weren't talking but the silence was very peaceful.

It is indeed right, Listen to the silence. It has so much to say

We all were at the dining, at the table of elders, they were discussing the beauty of the place and bade papa was enjoying guar ki sabji, cluster beans curry for harsh uncle, he hates it but is eating it on the sake of his reputation of doctor if he says no to eat it bade papa will taunt him saying 'Doctor ho aapko toh pata hai na ki Kitna healthy Hota hai!' seeing him making faces and eat it was definitely funny but I can relate to him, as bade papa has forced all the doctors and others to have this sabji only and it tastes horrible!

We all at the table of younger are making faces and eating as if we are diagnosed with Dysgeusia, it is a taste disorder, in which people often feel the tasty food to be sour, bitter or metallic. About me, I feel that I will vomit at any time, well this is not only me it's all of us right now. Except one......

"Mmmm kya tasty sabji hai!" 

Neil 

By god, all the admiration I had is all turned into hate seeing him enjoying this, this sabji which tasted something more than horrible!

I was too much into my thoughts that I didn't realise a hand had came to my mouth with morsel, I look up only to find my elder-yet-younger-sister offering me a morsel, making a face. She is a cutie! Just like Hina was.

I took the morsel after making thousands of faces. I pushed my plate towards her asking her to feed me and she happily agreed. From her hand the horrible tasted sabji definitely didn't tasted sweet but yeah the food start to get over fast!

After the horrible dinner,  the taste was still in the mouth, ruining the mood. We were in the car, Neil was taking me out somewhere saying 'it's a surprise!' I am asking him 'Where are you taking me?' again and again but the answer is same, he can't stop irritating me, it's his favorite hobby!

After getting the same answer again and again, I stopped asking him and looked out from the window irritatingly, the rest of the ride was silent or chamkadar' s silent giggling which fueled my irritation. After a while he stopped the car and I looked out only to find Ice-cream parlor, he got all the admiration again! I am sure I am giving him ear to ear smile to him when he was ordering!

"Waise, achanak se ice-cream treat?" I asked him when he came taking the order.

"Achanak kya? Reason hai!" he said while sitting on his chair.

"Reason? Kya reason?" I asked him while scooping some ice-cream into my spoon.

"Are meine promise Kiya tha ki mein tumhe ice-cream kilaunga!" he said it casually while enjoying his ice-cream unknown to the fact that I was looking at him shocked by the fact that he remembers our late night talk which we had when I was drunk and I had asked him for ice-cream thinking that he was Arjun, my neighbour in Australia.

"You remember that!" I am sure that the shock was audible to him in my voice and why not I had thought after so many day he must have forgotten it.

"Kaise bhul tha!" he said this looking into my eyes deep, which are very strict not to break the rule 'Do not lie!' my eyes are not supporting me to hide the truth that his words affect me a lot! I should have looked somewhere else but I couldn't help but into his eyes which had care, respect and something else too!

These all were the things which I wanted from him for Hina but he didn't gave anything other than guilt to me! That's the reason why I hate him a lot and regret my one decision that changed me, my life and Hina too.

Can anyone guess who him is?

Why is Aarohi guilty?

Which decision Aarohi is regretting?
