INNOCENT LOVE

Chapter 7

Aman's POV:

Hi everyone, I am Aman Junaid Mehra. As everyone knows, I am rude, arrogant, silent, and non-talkative, etc. But no one knows the real me except my best friend, Ishaan. He is like a twin brother who has been there with me in every situation.

And the most important thing is, everyone thinks that I dont love Roshni, including you guys, right? But the truth is, I LOVE ROSHNI. SHE IS MY EVERYTHING. SHE IS MY BUTTERFLY.

Let me tell you guys a secret: I have loved Roshni since childhood, from the first day I met her. I was 8 years old at the time, playing with Aryan in our playroom. Ma was calling us downstairs.

When we went down, I met her for the first time. She was so small and sweet, wearing a snow-white frock and holding a teddy bear in her hand. She was looking around with her innocent eyes, clutching her mas hand tightly while her ma was talking with mine.

Parveen Ma: "Yes, they are here. Aman, Aryan, Sara, Saima. See this, Salma aunty, you guys know, right? Aman, I used to talk about Asad uncle, right?"

I nodded my head while looking at that cute girl in front of me.

Parveen Ma: "She is his wife, and this is Roshni, their daughter. And they have one son, his name is Kabir. They are going to stay with us for a few days until their house is ready."

Aman/Aryan/Sara/Saima: "Hello aunty."

Salma Ma: "Hi dears. You two are handsome, and you two are pretty."

Aman/Aryan/Sara/Saima: "Thanks, aunty."

Sara/Saima: "Will you play with us?" they asked Roshni, who was looking around while others looked at her for an answer.

Roshni looked at her ma for acceptance. Salma Ma nodded and smiled. The two ladies continued their conversation.

Sara and Saima took Roshni to the playroom while the boys followed them silently.

Sara: "Hi, I am Sara, and this is Saima, my sister."

Aryan: "Hey, this is not fair. Why are you not introducing us?"

Saima: "Why should we? Waste of time, bhai."

Aryan: "What? This is really"

Aman cut him off: "Aryan, are you coming with me to play?"

Aman: "Bhai, wait a minute. I will come."

Aman made faces, looking at him while they started their chatter. While they were fighting, that cute girl, ahh, what's her name? Yeah, Roshni, she was looking at them with a cute smile. Then she called me to play, but I refused. How could I play with girls' stuff? And on top of that, Aryan would laugh at me. I just didnt want that. So I spoke rudely to her. My heart shook a little seeing her smiling face turned into a sad one.

Like this, days passed, and they moved to their new home. I started missing her so much.

And then, we started our schooling. To my surprise, she was in the same school with us, WITH ME. I was the happiest person in the world when I saw her in our school. I met her daily in school but didn't have the courage to speak with her. I felt guilty for speaking rudely to her. After that day, how could I face her? How would I talk with her?

Like this, years passed. I have completed my studies, and I am all ready to go abroad for higher studies. And I am going to miss her terribly. Shaan, my only friend, knows my inner turmoil.

After freaking seven years, I am going to see her. My BUTTERFLY. When I came inside, everyone was inquiring about my studies and experience, etc. But my heart was searching for that one person who stole my heart. I know she is cooking that delicious food for me, but I can't even appreciate that in the correct way.

Do you guys know how much it pains not to share my feelings with the one I love? Do you know how much it will pain? Do you know how much I will suffer? Do you know how guilty I feel for every single thing I did to her?

When I am breaking down, Shaan, my best friend, is there with me in every situation. He supports me every time. He always tortures me to express my feelings to her, but I can't.

How can I? How will my family react to this? How will she react to this? What if she rejects me? What if she already has someone in her heart?

You guys can say that I am afraid or a loser. YES, I AM AFRAID OF LOSING HER.

I don't know she was this beautiful until I saw her in a saree. She was just... An Angel. My butterfly looks so beautiful. I just want to protect her from everyone's eyes. Everyone dances with her except me.

I know she was everyone's favorite, but if I express my feelings, will my family accept? I just want her happiness.

Let's see what our future holds for us... (said with a sad smile).

Okay, guys, enough of our talks. Let's get some rest. Bye, will see you soon.

So guys, how was the part? Do tell me in the comment section.

Finally, something is revealed from Aman's POV 😅. What will happen next?
