FIDAA | (On Hold till Indefinite Time)

CHAPTER-9

Aadhrit was standing near the magnificent window of his cabin and thinking about the day his father got discharged from the hospital.

Aadhrit consulted with the doctor and got his father discharged but his mother wanted to meet Aahana so they expressed their wish to the HOD and he called Aahana.

Aahana was thinking whether she should go to meet them or not because was dressed just like a hippy. Hairs in a messy bun, oversized clothes and just her white coat.

Nonetheless she went there and the first person her eyes found subconsciously was Aadhrit leaning near the window looking straight at her. She felt goosebumps all over her body just by looking at him.

From the day Aahana had that moment with Aadhrit she felt weird. Whenever she thought about him it felt as if she would indulge in his eyes. 

She was still in denial and shrugged it off. 

Soon Aadhrit's family met her and again thanked her and she insisted on accompanying them till outside.

They all came out and bid her goodbye and sat in their respective cars.

Aadhrit was the last one to leave as he preferred driving alone. After everybody left, only he and Aahana were present there.

Breaking the awkward silence Aadhrit spoke " Umm... Shall I drop you to your hostel? It's already late now."

"Nn..no no it's fine I'll go by myself. Moreover, I have a night shift today. Thank you for asking... " she spoke without looking at the ground. 

Aadhrit found her looking breathtakingly beautiful. The way her hairs flowed and were brushing her forehead and cheeks, the way her face was so serene. He felt to just take her in his arms and keep her there forever. 

He was continuously staring at her when she decided to break the silence " Okk then... I'll be taking your leave. I have to be in the hospital. Please take care of uncle. Good Night and Drive Safe. "

She turned around to leave when he held her hand and entwined their fingers. Aahana was shocked would be an understatement. She looked at their hands joined together when he tightened his hold on her hand as if not Aahana but his peace, his heart, his soul was leaving him. 

He was just looking at her but realized that maybe she is uncomfortable so he delicately left her hands and said "Good Night and Please Be Safe". 

As soon as he uttered those words after saying a small Thank You Aahana ran away from there. 

Aadhrit felt how beautiful and soft her hands were. How perfectly they fitted into his hands as if lost pieces of puzzle were joined together. 

He decided to leave from there but while leaving he felt as if he was leaving something important and from that day he became insane for her.

He craves for her, he is passionate about her and can go to any extreme to get her.

On the other hand Aahana was also experiencing such feelings that she had never felt before.

The calmness when she was in his arms, the gentleness of his touch, his soothing voice, everything was so surreal and overwhelming for her. 

But her being a hardcore stubborn person, she was in constant denial for her such feelings. 

She could not understand the difference between his touch and others as to why he felt so soothing to her. 

For she did not know that somebody on the other side was craving for her, wanted her, needed her, she had now become somebody's reason to live and laugh.

She was oblivious to these thoughts that now she had become somebody's sanity as well as insanity.
