My Heart Snatcher 💖

Chapter-18

"Ummm..... No this won't work. What the hell.. I don't have any nice clothes...." He mumbled while looking up and down his wardrobe. He was throwing them on the ground while searching for something perfect.

Today, Vikrant came back home early in the evening. He had promised Sam to go out for dinner. He was feeling really excited and nervous as well. This was the first time when he was going out with them. He was getting desperate to spend some quality time with them. Not only Sam and dadi he was feeling anxious to think that he would be able to spend time with Avni too. He was hoping to finally apologize and thank her. He didn't know why but he was feeling like a teenager. For the first time he was getting conscious how he looks.

He tried several clothes but he was not liking them. He wanted something casual but attractive too and finally his search over when he found his black shirt.

"Humn..... I think it's nice". He said while looking at it and decided to wear that. He pair that shirt with light beige colour pants.

"Perfect....." He said while once again looking himself in the mirror and finally after getting convinced he left his room.

"Sam, dadi..... Come on.... It's already 7'o clock....." He called them.

"I am ready papa...." Sam came to him while running.

"Wow!!you look handsome....." He praised and lifted him in his lap.

"Yes Vicky, see we are ready..." Dadi too joined them.

"Great....." He said but suddenly started looking around when he didn't find Avni there.

"Shall we leave Vicky?....." Dadi asked while adjusting the pallu of her sari.

"Huhh.... Is everyone ready?..."
He asked and took off Sam on the floor but his eyes were searching for Avni.

"Yes Vicky.... Let's go....what are you waiting for?...." Dadi was confused. What he wanted to say. She didn't get that.

"I mean...." He didn't know how to ask about Avni. He himself assumed that she would too join them and now when she was not there he was feeling hesitant to enquire about her.

He was looking for some idea to how to ask dadi when Avni suddenly came out of her room.

"Bye dadi.... Bye Sam.... Have a great time.." She said and kissed Sam but as she saw Vikrant she instantly looked away. She was still feeling embarrassed because of the morning incident.

"Thank you Angel... But it would be great if you also come with us. why you are not coming?.. Please come na.. We will enjoy a lot.. And I will buy you, your favorite chocolates too....." Sam was trying to convince her.

"Sam don't force her. I have already tried but it feels like she doesn't like our company......" Dadi said while showing fake anger.

"Daaadiii.....please understand". Avni said and hugged her instantly.

"No Avni.... You should come....this happiness, this change, it's all because of you and you are ditching us..." Dadi said while hoping to change her decision.

Vikrant too was confused why she was not coming? How excited he was for this dinner but because of Avni's denial he felt disappointed. He looked at her for answer.

"Thanks dadi... But no.... It's a family dinner. After such a long period this day has come in your life so enjoy every bit of it. There must be so much which you all wanna share with each other. It's your time to spend as a family and plus I don't want to be a weed among roses so it's better that I'll stay at home. You all please go and have fun ok..." She explained with her beautiful smile.
