My Everything

awkward moments

" abhi you have college tomorrow so go and sleep" Aadhya said while breaking their hug
' okay good night both of you' Abhi said while standing but stopped as aadhya called him
" this is for you" aadhya stood and gave him a bracelet. it was flat golden bracelet with a tiger eye stone in center.
" happy birthday once again, and always keep it with you" aadhya said and kissed on his forehead.
abhi thanked her and went to his room while aadhya joined Ram who is deep in his thoughts.

" now tell me what happened bro" aadhya asked while keeping her hand around his shoulder.
'just some random things' ram said exhaling
" random things?" aadhya questioned him

Ram pov:
During birthday celebrations aadhya called me to introduce her friends.
" Bro this is Kartik my childhood best friend working as a food security officer and as professor in abhi's university"
"Kartik this is Ram my elder brother, my manager and also legal adviser for deshmukh textiles"
'its nice meeting you' the 6 and ½ feet man extended his hand, i forwarded my had and shook it.
dont know when but aadhya left from there leaving me and him alone here.
he slightly gave a smile showing his dimple and saw towards the people who are busy in their own world.
his side face was visible to me which is shinig with the moon light.
im into guys from my highschool but never had a boyfriend to be honest never felt like having one, but something is off being with him.
im feeling some unfamilar emotion with him its crazy that i just met him.
i dont believe in love at first sight etc maybe being alone all these years are making me confused. as i was thinking a voice made me come into reality
' Ram shall we join' he gave a smile and asked me
' yes' we went and join the gang to have dinner, during that time i felt somebody's glare on me and lifted my head and came in contact with kartik's eyes. he was already staring at me but why?
'it could be unintentional' my mind said but it didnt made any sense.
his eyes are expressing something but definetly not normal.
brushing those thoughts i continued my dinner and bidded our goodbyes to them.

*************************************
"bro what are you thinking?" aadhya said while giving him a confused look
'nothing' ram said
at present he was confused about his feelings, moverover he never came out that he is into guys and aadhya probably had no idea about him infact he know that she will never judge him but he wanted to make sure before opening up.
' dont worry just some company matters' ram said as he saw aadhya thinking
" are you sure" aaadya questioned
'yes' ram assured her
but aadhya was not convienced she felt some changes in ram from the moment they were in dinner, but dont wanted to force him to know,she wanted him to talk.
'tomorrow you had work so get some sleep' saying this he stood and extended his hand to give support to her.
"good night bro" saying this they went to their rooms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next day:
Aadhya dropped abhi in his university and went to meet murari, she drove to his cafe and parked her car and walked towards the entrance.
she was mentally battling to open the door " just forget everything aadu just be normal, just say sorry okay " taking a deep breath she opened the door with the sound of the bell.
she saw murari behind the counter talking with one of the staff member.
his professional attire is much more adorable to her she just stood in her place seeing him giving instructions
" enjoying seeing the man" her mind intruded making her curse for being a fool.
while she was having a inner war with her mind murari saw her being with a awkward expression and smiled but something came across in his mind
" she saw you staring at her yesterday and definitely thought you as a pervert so don't get your hopes high maybe she came to cancel her collab" this thought made his smile fade when he saw aadhya moving towards him his heart beat faster he dont wanted to miss her this time, before its late he wanted to apologize to her
"hi murari" "hi aadhya" both of them greeted at a time with a smile.
silence had occupied around them making the situation more tensed.
" hmm" murari cleared his throat to ease the tension
" do you want to tell anything?" murari asked her but he was praying god not to make him hear what his mind said.

" It's nothing I just wanted to visit our restaurant that's it" as soon as murari heard this he felt relief.
" Ofcourse" he replied with a bright smile.
Seeing him even Aadhya smiled and forgot about their worries.
" But before that I need to take care of few things at My Taste restaurant so will you join me" murari said.

" Hmm I will be glad" aadhya replied.
After giving few instructions to Srikar both Murari and Aadhya left for MY TASTE.

It was about 20minutes journey from cafe. The restaurant was simple but it has a vibrant ambiance it was resembling his cafe style.

As they entered one woman in her late 30's welcomed them.
" Aunty what is the matter?" Murari asked after greeting her.
' it's about the negotiation sir' the woman replied eyeing at Aadhya who is standing beside murari and admiring the view

" She is Aadhya my friend" murari understood her and spoke.
" Aadhya she is the manager of the restaurant mrs Jane" murari introduced both of them.
" Aadhya you can sit there I will be right back and feel free to order anything" saying this Murari showed her a place which is abit far from the customers and walked with mrs Jane to the stock room.

' just out of curiosity murari is she your girlfriend ' mrs Jane asked him with a low voice handling him the stock books.

"Why do you think like that aunty" murari was shocked to listen but covered it with a stern face.
' just I felt it ' she replied.
" Just friends" murari replied and saw a disappointed look on her face.

Murari atlast found the loophole and warned the stock incharge to maintain the records correctly he saw his watch and it's was past 15 minutes he left aadhya outside so he hurried to her.
Seeing this Jane let a chuckle and walked behind him.

When murari went to aadhya she was drinking a milkshake and smiled seeing Murari.
Seeing her smiling made his day, he can literally do anything to make her smile.
He wanted to be the reason behind her beautiful smile.

" This is what you feel when you love a person" his mind reminded
Brushing his thoughts murari went and sat opposite to her.
There was a bit of cream near her lips corner so he took a tissue and wiped it he can see her widened eyes which turned into a shy one.

" Are you a baby messing while drinking" murari joked and got a pout from aadhya.
" It's completed shall we leave" aadhya once again wiped her lips and stood.
Murari started the car while Aadhya took the passanger seat and went to their restaurant

" It's almost completed " murari said while entering the restaurant it was a quick journey from murari's restaurant. He made sure that everything was according to Aadhya's recommendations.

" It was beyond my expectations murari, thankyou for taking care of it" aadhya said holding murari's arm.
She was so excited to see the progress that she forgot what she did as not getting the reply she turned and saw murari staring at their hands.

She took her hand awkwardly turned to other side.
" Can't you be careful fool" aadhya scolded herself.

Murari know that she is awkward so to reduce this he cleared his throat and took her for a tour.
After having tour and discussing few things they parted their ways..(to be continued).....
