Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 11

ZOYA'S POV:

I laid on bed staring at the ceiling, sleep far away from me. I was thinking about nothing in particular but somewhere in back of my head, I was thinking about Kartik.

I have a huge respect and affection towards this family but Kartik, he's different, he is not a guy who runs after worldly comforts. He knows the true joys of life. He's humble, he cares for others, he give importance to his family. 

I wonder why he isn't married. Any girl would say yes to him in an instant. He has all a woman wants in a man. Well, his marriage should not be my concern, he can do whatever he wants and whenever he feels like he is ready for the commitment. May be he wants to focus on his career for now.

With these thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.

NEXT MORNING:

It was 25th December. We were having breakfast, when doorbell rang again. It rang like 8th time since I woke up today.

" I am tired receiving Christmas gifts and party invitations." Mala aunty said, again getting up and walking up to the door to receive it.

She came back after a while with a beautiful bouquet of white roses and a fancy invitation card in her hand.

Kittu immediately got up to help her to keep the things in place.

" More than half of the invitations are coming because of you Koki. Everyone wants you to attend their party." Mala aunty said, taking her seat back.

"Yes, my colleagues and friends are calling me to ask Kartik to attend their party." Manish uncle added.

"This is insane, everyone wants him to be there just for their publicity  I literally hate these fake people." Kittu scowled.

" Haha, don't hate them kittu, let them be, I am not going anywhere to any party, i am staying home, celebrating Christmas with my family." Kartik said, taking a bite from his diet salad.

"That's great. Atleast we can have him for ourselves for a while, it's been very long since we all spent time together." Mala aunty said with a bright smile, she was very happy with Kartik staying home.

………………

We all were busy decorating a Christmas tree when doorbell rang, I was closest to the door, so I went to see. As I opened the door, I was met with a group of 4 strangers.

"Yes?"

"Umm, sorry, haven't seen you here before." The tall guy asked politely.

"I am Kritika's friend."

"Who is it Zoya." Kartik asked coming and standing beside me.

"Ohh, my special one's are here." Kartik said cheerfully as soon he saw them.

" Zoya they are my team members, come on in guys." He said inviting them in.

"Oh sorry I didn't know."

"It's okay how would you know, we met for the first time." The girl with the short hair, said with a smile.

"Let me introduce them to you, they're Janhvi and Payal they manage PR and stuff. This is Vicky, my makeup artist and he, is my hair wizard. Milan aka mili." Kartik said introducing them one by one, I shook hands with all of them and they passed me their wide smiles.

We all moved inside, they greeted Aunty, uncle and kittu and settled down in the living room, me and Kartik went back to decorating the tree. Payal and Vicky  joined us after sometime. Janhvi and milan continued talking with aunty, uncle.
