A Love So Unbeautiful ft. KL Rahul [Slow Updates]

Muntazir

"You left me, as if I was never the reason to stay."

~

Shardul looked at me weirdly.
"Its a commercial flight they have bookings too." He explained.
"Rah just texted me."

So, gotta face him again.
And the worst, to see him with Vedika.

They came 5 minutes from then. It was Mayank Aggarwal with his wife Aashita, I have never met them before, Dawid Malan and him.

Aashita came and greeted Reeva bhabhi with a bright smile. She really has this positive aura.

"Hey!" She looked at me with smile.

"Hi." I replied. It wasn't as vibrant as her, and I felt guilty in the moment.

"Didn't recognize you? Are you with someone?" She asked.

"Oh. I am Malawika Singh Dhoni. You can call me Mala." I said.

"Malawika Singh Dhoni." She put two and two together to finally say, "as in MS Dhoni?" This time her eyebrows raised a bit in astonishment.

I just nodded and chuckled lightly to say yes.

"You are Mahi bhai's sister?" Mayank overheard us and reacted.

"Yup!" Jaddu bhai responded on my behalf. He surely knew how awkward I was getting with everyone's eyes on me now.
"She was in England completing her higher studies, she had her break so is joining us for IPL."

After a while, when we were in middle of air, Nidhyana started throwing tantrums.
Jaddu bhai requested to exchange seats with his so he can be around bhabhi and Nidhyana.
I agreed.
And I kind of regret because now I have to sit with Rahul and Shardul.

Shardul has always been the shy one, untill he knows you are safe space for his opinions.
And Rahul at the moment seemed that safe space. These boys talk more than two girls gossipping over their favourite character.

Its just when their discussion over world economics that moved to US' politics to ancient European history got over, Shardul started a convo with me.
"Hey Mala, long time huh." He said with a smile.

"Yeah. How are you doing? And Mits?" yup his girlfriend, I have known about her.

"I am good. And Mits is good too." He replied with a smile. I smiled at him wondering that's how a man in love looks like. Rahul used to be like this around me. But he was even more happier while introducing Vedika.
I though too much in that one second.

"When are you planning to make it official?" Rahul kind of teased him.

"Oh well... Ummm... Actually... We are planning to get engaged after world cup." He said, his cheeks literally turning red.
"And what about you and Vedika? Wasn't she coming with you here." Shardul asked him back.

"Uh. Yeah, she went back to India." Rahul said plainly.
"Mom would look into how to plan things. I am really not interested..."
He left the sentence open ended.
Interested in what? In Vedika? Or making thinks official with her?
They are kind of official, he put up an IG post on her last birthday.

"About you Mala? Seeing someone?" Shardul certainly didn't know about Utkarsh else he wouldn't have ever asked me this.

"No." Rahul said lightly looking straight into my eyes, and I couldn't take off mine from his.

I really don't remember how the conversation went ahead. I was lost in that moment. His deep look.
It stirred up my heart yet again.

Rahul's POV:-

She seemed lost after that. Maybe the Utkarsh incident would have been disturbing for her. I felt a bit angry at Shard for asking so but...
It must have hurt her. I wish I could hug her tight to let her know, I was here.

We finally landed in Dubai, and as we were moving out of airport, I don't know what striked me, I called out her name. "Malawika?" I usually don't call her by full name.

She stopped but didn't turn around.
I went to to her.
"Hey I wanna talk to you about something..."
