The Last Note [ON HOLD]

29. THE LOOK OF LOVE.

Trishika's P.O.V:

After having dinner, the main rituals for the wedding started. I sat on a couch which was kept under the mandap. Taking out a shawl from Mithika, without saying anything because I was still mad at her, and settling down, I sneezed and sniffed. Okay, wearing this sleeveless dress wasn't the best idea, Trish. Now face the consequences of cold.

The ceremony started and my eyes wandered around to find a pair of black ones. Ajey was nowhere to be found, though.

-"Kya hua, aap kisko dhoondh rhe ho?"
An innocent baby voice interrupted me.

I turned around and saw Yuvaansh, my cousin brother, Yash Mehta's son and my nephew.

-"Arey, Yuvi! Kuch nhi, mein bass aise hi dekh rahi thi."
I made an excuse as I picked him up and settled him on my lap.

Just when I had started talking to him, I heard another voice settling beside me.

-"Looking for someone, Ms. Bhardwaj?"
He cleared his throat and sat beside Yuvi in the couch.

-"I was searching for you only. Where were you, Ajey?''
I said to him but before he could answer, the little bundle of evilness interrupted.

-"Oh, I seeeee!! You are that someone my Bua was looking for."
Yuvi spoke to Ajey.

Ajey looked at me with questioning eyes.

-"Uh, he's my cousin brother's son and also my nephew, Yuvaansh Mehta. We call him Yuvi at home and he's such a sweetheart but then again, at times he holds the power to really irritate the hell out of you. Yuvi, greet him."
I introduced Yuvi to Ajey.

Yuvaansh made an angry face in between of his introduction and stomped his foot in annoyance and interrupted me.

-"Oh hello, I'm a big boy now! I'll introduce myself. Namaste Mr...whoever you are, I am Yuvaansh Mehta and I study in grade 2. Nice to meet you!"
He spoke the end part with a cute smile.

-"Hello young man, I'm Ajey Nagar. Nice to meet you too."
Ajey replied with a smile.

-"Haa haa formalities toh ho gyi, ab tell me honestly. Will you keep my Bua happy?"
Yuvi spoke firmly.

Ajey's eyebrows furrowed but I had sensed what was coming next.

-"Yuvi no.."
I tried to stop Yuvaansh.

-"You keep quite na, Bua! I'm talking to him. Haa haa, aap bolo."
Yuvi spoke; irritated.

-"Mein kya bolu? What do you mean?"
Ajey asked in a confused voice.

-"Oh ho, Bua! You're boyfriend is such a dumbo! He can't even understand what am I trying to say."
Yuvaansh said with an annoyed expression and my eyes widened at his words.

But Ajey? He seemed to enjoy it, his expressions were telling when I glared at him.

-"Haww, Yuvi! Where have you learnt this all from? And where is all the respect?"
I scolded him.

-"It's right here and I'll try to maintain it. Now let me talk to your boyfriend."
Yuvaansh protested.

-"Talk with him nicely and with respect, he's not your friend. And also, he's not my boyfriend, got it? Learn to control your tongue."
I scolded him with a stern expression.
