EYES ON YOU 👀

Six

There's a sudden decrease in the comments in the last chapter. Was it not good?

'Vi come with me, I have to buy something for Rits. You know our aniversary is right around the corner.' Ro pleaded Vi to go out with him but he was in no mood.

'Can I come?' asked Nush hesitantly as she was next to them.

'I want to spend time with you Nush, that's why I'm not going. How can you go?' Vi asked.

'How can you ditch him?' she asked.

'Ask him to take Shikhi along. They were laughing like maniacs last night. So let him go with Ro.' Vi said.

'Oh that's the reason. You are jealous of him. Aren't you?' Ro asked.

'No, I'm not. Why would I be?' it was clearly written on his face that he was lying.

'Will you come or not?' Ro asked.

'No, I won't. Go away.' he closed his ears with his hands to not hear anything he says and his eyes as well.

'Aww how cute!' both Ro and Nush said in unison as they forwarded their hands to pinch his cheeks.

'You go first.' Ro gave her the permission.

Nush pinched his cheeks as per her will and then it was Ro's turn who made it a point to pinch his cheeks longer than her.

'Ouch, it's hurting.' Vi winced.

'What about the times when you pinch my cheeks. Also you don't have good cheeks, cheeku.' Ro remarked.

'Stop calling me that. And also yes, I don't have good cheeks.' he paused.

'But you do have.' he screamed as he began pulling Ro's cheeks with great intensity.

'Leave me!' Ro tried fighting back

'Maybe you both should stop now.' Nush stated and ofcourse they paid no heed to her and continued as long as they could.

'I should go buy something for Rits! Also Anushka, will you come?' Ro asked hesitantly.

'Yes I will. Give me ten minutes I'll get ready.' she said.

They've gone to some mall and Ro was so perplexed about what to gift her.

'What should I buy for her?' he asked.

'Something that's personal. Think of it, has she ever mentioned anything that she loves so much?' she asked.

'Umm- Err- Aaa' he began thinking.

'Do you two have any common dream?' she asked.

'Like what?'

'For example I and Vi want to live with our children in a house in the hills with a stream flowing. Do you two have anything of that sort?' she asked.

'With her by my side and her wrapped in my arms,anywhere is home.' he said.

'Then maybe you can buy any sculpture with a man with his arms wrapped around his woman and you can pen down the same exact words that you've said now. "With you by my side and my arms wrapped around you, anywhere is home. Happy anniversary." You get the idea right?' she asked.

'That's amazing. That would be such a great  personalized gift. Thank you.' his joy had no bounds because he knew that it would make Rits so happy.

'So we should search for a place that sells items like that.' she said.

They've asked the staff there who guided them to one such shop.

They went through all the pieces until Ro found the two sculptures that he wanted.

'Are you happy with these?' Nush asked him as he was paying the bill.

'She'd really love them so much and will also love me a little more. Thanks Anushka.' he said sincerely. He didn't knew he needed this kind of support.

'All this is good but the real way to win your partner's heart is always in the little things. Even if your make her sit by a sewage and tell her  geniunly how she made your life better and how much you love Her, she'd treasure that time for ages.' Nush stated.

'Is that the same for you as well?' he asked.

'Yes, it's all about the little things for me. I don't need a guy to buy me gifts. I just want someone to know the real me and love me for what I am as a person and understand me without me having to utter a word. And I'm glad that I found exactly the same person in Vi. He never saw me as some famous actress but as Anushka, the real me.' she explained and that made Ro regret for doubting her.

It's not been even a complete day since he met her but his views on her have almost changed.

Looking at Vi's past relationships, he thought that everyone in that field were the same but this woman standing in front of him made him start believing otherwise.

'When is your aniversary by the way?' Nush's voice brought him back from trance. 

'It's exactly in twenty two days. I'm so excited for it.' he said.

They walked back to their car and her phone began ringing.

'With Salman Khan? But what's my role?'

'I can't do it just because Salman Khan is the hero right. Ask them about my role and arrange a meeting.' Nush instructed someone on the phone.

'Are you doing a film with Salman Khan?' he asked later.

'I think so. But I should like the story, dates should match. So I can't say anything for sure. I actually have a lot of films lined up so it might not work with him.' she said.

'But are you willing to lose a chance to work with him?' he asked.

'I don't mind actually. Anyways if I like the story I'll try my best to arrange dates accordingly.' she seemed to be chill about it.

And that made Ro realise that she wasn't desperate to work with the biggest stars. And she didn't need to date Virat just for fame.

He was actually happy to see all his doubts fade away one by one.

He was almost convinced that she was the right person for Virat.

On their way back to their hotel she kept chattering something or the other and he noticed how similar her thoughts were to Virat.
