To make the situation more awkward, Vrinda was made to sit opposite Arjun. She knew her friends planned all this. She kept her eyes to her plate and spoke as little as possible whenever Radha Aunty asked her something.
Vrinda Pov:
Wow.. just wow.. Here, I am trying hard to maintain my distance with bava by limiting my presence but my friends made me sit in front of bava. I want to smack their heads to the wall. They clearly know my equations with him, ok not Lakshya but Keerthi knows my liking towards him. She knows that I have a crush on bava. But I know that he is a forbidden fruit for me. She encouraged me many times to confess my feelings to him, but I was afraid to do that. I am no comparison to him. He is smart, tall, handsome, and a heart throb for many girls.He is a living example for success . I am just a mediocre person who just started my career. Our status is one barrier. So I buried my love for him deep in my heart. I'm thankful to Keerthi that she didn't spout a word about my love for bava to Lakshya. I was still worried, bava or Lakshya knew about my love they may belittle me. I have many insecurities. I may look confident in many other things but when it is related to him, my confidence vanishes in thin air. I feel that I'm no match to him. I always pray to God for his happiness . So, I wish for a suitable girl for him and I know I'm not the one.
I wished Radha Aunty and Uncle a pleasant smile and a warm hug but when I came to bava, I gave him a formal smile. I don't know why I could meet his eyes. Maybe me being the reason for our family misfortune is making me guilty. But what I don't understand is why bava was staring at me like that for so long. Am I looking so miserable?. Thank God Lakshya broke that embarrassing situation . When I was in my line of thoughts when Radha Aunty initiated the conversation regarding my health and work. I can feel the motherly love from her. I envy Keerthi sometimes. She is blessed to have parents. Don't curse me or say that I'm jealous of my friend who treats me like a sister, but what can I do? It's human nature to crave the one which we don't have. Radha Aunty again started her ranting like how lean I look, and I'm exhausting myself. I just smiled at her concern.
We completed our dinner while I tried my best to ignore the glances of bava . Lakshya and Keerthi had their non-stop blabber leaving me alone. But I would agree that these two monkeys knew how to keep the environment lively and fun.
Bava and uncle made their way to the study after their dinner. We continued our conversation in the meantime. I was getting dropsy, and my body aches are not helping me. I want to hit the hay, but I can't go home without a proper send-off to the elders. So I waited for some more time. When it was around 10 p.m., Uncle, aunty and Keerthi made their departure. I took this as a good chance to seek home. When I was to exit the main door, Lakshya reminded me to take medicine . Aaah! I just want the earth to open and swallow me as a whole. This girl knows how to land others right in the soup. Thanks to her big mouth now everyone present there knew that I was unwell. Everyone is having an expression of worry and concern on their faces but bava he is fuming with anger.
Come on, what did I do that made him so pissed off. I was truly hurt to see him angry and my eyes turned glossy. I want to know the reason why he hates my mere existence. I covered my expression with a fake smile and assured the elders that I would take proper care of my health hereby. I made my way home.
Arjun 's Pov:
I was shocked to hear that Vrinda is sick. I was furious and was angry at Ravi for not taking proper care of Vrinda in her office. Yes, Ravi , the MD of R- Infra is my bestie. I may not be in India, but my family is always monitored in close quarters. I have my sources. But Vrinda 's kidnapping is still a puzzle as I couldn't find the culprit who is behind all this. Coming back , when Lakshya asked Vrinda to take medicine, my heart skipped its beat. I don't want Vrinda to face any trouble or fall into some danger. When I observed her keenly, I could sense that something was not right with her looks. She seemed to look a bit weak and was dressed in a full sleeves kurti with a palazzo, covering herself with a dupatta. This was quite abnormal as everyone was not overly clothed. I m feeling very hot due to extreme climate changes. I even turned on the tower AC in the living room. She must be freezing cold. Her cheeks and nose turned red. Aaah stupid girl. Don't she know how to voice out her inconvenience. I went back to my room and drifted to sleep. I don't know when, but I was awoken by the melodious voice of Vrinda. I thought I was dreaming. But I made to know that I was not dreaming when I could hear some Cooker whistles and sounds from mixer grinder.
Oh! God, she woke up long back. It's just 6:30 am. What is she doing this early. I think she is an early bird and not to forget the pooja. I think she belongs to my mother's generation, considering her habits and punctuality. If we get married one day , Am I supposed to wake this early and join her in those household chores. Can I do those. "Aaah leave it. Give a break to your thoughts. You don't even know what her feelings are towards you , but planning for marriage and all. " mocked my mind. Sighing to myself I got ready for my morning jog. While returning home, I thought of meeting my love, Vrinda.
Thank you.
Bye. Take care.
Stay safe and healthy.
