UNDYING DEVOTION

CHAPTER 10 | Bonding

AUTHOR'S POV:

"Yeh Raghbir abhi tak wapis kiu nahi aya..? The weather is very bad outside", Jaya Malhotra, Raghbir's mother asked Her husband anxiously.

Ranvijay, who was sitting beside her, with a cup of chai, softly said, "Don't worry jaya. He's a grown up man now. Aa hi raha hoga."

"Aap firbhi phone karke dekhiya na", She pleaded looking at him. And Ranvijay couldn't help but do as his wife commanded.

He was worried for raghbir too. He had left hs own birthday party all of sudden. And it's around 11 now. He's still not home. It was undoubtedly concerning.

But at the same time, he was amused too, he's never seen Raghbir concerned for any other lady than her mother or sister. Meera was a new friend and yet he left his own party..!!
Ranvijay was sure, they were not 'Just friends'.

He was pulling out his phone when Jaya's phone rang. He looked at it to see the caller ID flashing "Raghbir"

Jaya sighed in relief looking at it as she picked up the call.

"Hello, mumma!!"

Raghbir's voice made her heart at ease as she said, "Raghbir, where are you? The weather is not good outside beta"

Raghbir was going to say something but Ranvijay interrupted saying, "Jaldi ghar aajao Raghbir, your mother is torturing me"

Raghbir chuckled at this as he said "Mumma, Pa..actually i'm not coming home tonight. The weather s very bad.. Meera is not letting me go"

Ranvijay and Jaya exchanged glances. Raghbir was staying the night at a girl's house??? It was a miracle for sure !!

"OK beta, you both take care of yourselves", Ranvijay said with a smile on his face

"Yes pa. And you please check your whatsapp mumma, I have sent something", Raghbir smiled through the phone as Jaya assured him that she will check the messages.

It was when they were heading to bed, they decided to check the messages. There were several photos. He clicked the photos only to find Raghbir and Meera's picture. Raghbir was wearing a cone shaped birthday cap. Their lips had a big smile, flashing their pearly whites. Raghbir hand was holding Meera's waist while another captured the photo meanwhile Meera's one hand was on his chest, another disappearing behind his neck.

He showed the picture to Jaya and the both couldn't help but chuckle. Happy, thinking about their son finally is going to settle down. Only if they knew how oblivious the two were. But again, They could only pray for their happiness and nothing else.

Next day:

Raghbir and Meera directly went to the set after they finished their breakfast. They had an early morning shoot and so they didn't get much time to interact as they were already running late. Raghbir had gone to the set by his own car as his driver was already there. But the main reason was he didn't want unnecessary attention. He knew their friends would tease them the entire day if they go in the same car. That's why he avoided going together and went separately.

Raghbir was sitting with Prince and Ajitav One of the sequence was done and so they had a break. Tanisha and Meera were clicking pictures outside.

Raghbir's mind was still stuck at last night. He couldn't digest the fact that Kiara was behind all this. But before jumping into conclusions, he thought it would be better to properly probe into the matter.

He has already asked his manager for the CCTV footage of the venue and the guest lists. He has also asked him to find out the gift and keep it carefully in his room.
