Pyaar Once Again

FLASHBACK

"Cring cring cring"

No doubt morning alarm was the most hated sound in the world, beside of Tony kakkar's songs.
And a person like her , Jo 5 minute bol kar 5 ghante soti hai uske liye to ye surely koi pleasant sound nahi hai .

Lekin today was different.

Today, she was waiting for the morning, she was waiting to feel the warmth of the sun .
A hand slipped out of the silk covers to turn off the alarm. In a moment, a girl threw the covers off her , she was in her early twenties , rubbing her eyes as she yawned . Amara.

Today , her crush , the well known YouTuber Nischay Malhan , had invited her to his family lunch . I mean , how could she reject it ?

'it's already 8:50 , I need to freshen up.' Amara said , and hurriedly headed to the bathroom.

'What should I wear?' she mumbled to herself , and picked up a simple kurti and jeans . "This would do fine ."

Her phone buzzed . She checked the notification sent by her best friend Abhiudaya.

Abhi bsdka ❤️
Call me when you're up .

Amara dialed his number, and he picked up.

"Hi!" She greeted her best friend over the phone.
" Ready hai?" Abhi questioned , and she hummed before answering.
"Haan , tu bta?"

"Main bhi , milte hain fir , love ya."
" I love you too." She said , as she hang up the call .

I took long deep breaths before I rang the doorbell. It wasn't like I've not been here many times , but it was strange today , I felt anxious , my palms were sweaty , my heart slammed against my chest .

The door opened , and I stared at him , I just couldn't help but admire him . He looked so handsome , like he has came here to tempt me . His brown eyes glowing , his hair fell on his forehead , shadowing over his eyes . I couldn't help but be enraptured by him , for me he was perfection.

"Amara." My name rolled over his tongue so smoothly , like velvet.

I drowned myself in his eyes for a minute. He snapped his fingers in front of my face , causing me to jerk out of my reverie.

"Main kab se kuch keh raha hun . Kahan khoi hui ho ?" Nischay queried, as he tore his fingers through his hair .

"Sorry, I-I zoned out." I said , smiling awkwardly . Fuck it Amara, you cannot even talk without stuttering. The thought wavered in my mind , causing me to mentally slap myself.

"Ah- where are my manners? Come inside." Nischay said , I swear my heart skipped a beat , as he smiled softly, looking down at me.

I walked inside, fidgeting
with my fingers . "Peheli baar time par ho na?"

Nischay asked, standing behind me , his cologne overloaded my senses, I could feel his warmth from behind, but he was not touching me .

Before I could answer , I tripped and pinched my eyes close as I was ready to hit the floor , but a pair of strong arms caught me by my waist .

I slowly opened my eyes , meeting his eyes . Nischay . I felt his hand grasping my waist , and the way butterflies rushed into my stomach, tingles spreading across his touch , my breath caught in my throat, my cheeks heating up. Oh no , Nischay was so close. He glanced at my lips before locking eyes again. Our breaths heavy , mixing with each other , his warmth so intense . Lord , I might faint . I could actually feel the sound of my heart beating out of my chest . His gaze entranced me . I smelled his intoxicating cologne , as if I wanted to embed this in my mind . I took my time ravishing him with my eyes. His knuckles caressed my cheek , unknowingly. Tingles erupting in the place he had touched me .

"Ye kya ho raha hai?"
A feminine voice snapped me out of my trance , and I blinked in surprise as I realized our position , I was beneath him , at his mercy .

Nischay freed me from his hold, I turned casually , only to find Prerna di , a confused look plastered on her face .

"Voh uh Amara tripped , and I saved her." Nischay explained , proudness visible in his voice.

I felt like my body was on fire , I wanted to lean back and feel his touch , I was missing his warmth. But I stopped myself before I could have actually done such a thing .

"Nischay!" A soft voice beamed from behind , I whipped my head , and stared at the girl in complete awe.
She looked like she was in her late twenties with curly dirty blonde hair , neatly styled side to side , and a very busty chest , it seemed like she got some surgery done in that area . She was wearing a white bodycone dress with sweetheart neckline which was showing off her assests and killer six inch heels .

I immediately glanced away , as I found myself checking her out . She grinned flaunting her perfect set of teeth .
"Sweety ." Nischay voiced his excitement , as he neared her .

I found a glimpse of an annoyed look on Prerna di's face but it melted into a smile , really quick . " Hi, di!" Sweety chirped , hugging her .

After they pulled , sweety eyed me with an irritated look on her face .
"Aur -"
"Amara . Amara Malhotra." I exclaimed , with obvious fake enthusiasm laced in my voice , well not faker than her face .

"Amara meet Sweety , sweety meet Amara . Amara , she's my girlfriend."

My smile wavered , and Nischay exchanged a look with her , a grin crept up on his face .

What the fuck?

"Oh , wow ."
My voice showed my lack of interest.
How could he do that to me? Hell he was never mine . My breathing became uneven , my eyes rimmed with tears , my vision became blurry .

Without exchanging any more words , I left the house , them ignoring my existence completely . The noise of their laughing kept echoing in my ears .

'Oh Amara, it was just a stupid crush . ' my subconscious mind reminded , but I couldn't bring myself to control me from crying . Even covering my mouth with my palm doesn't do a lot to muffle the sounds .
