Karishma's pov

Days passed by, Vyom was busy with his training. We didn't talk for weeks, all I had was his filmy love letter he wrote for me.

These were the initial days of our relationship, and look at us, not even able to see each other's face. Our future, undoubtedly, would hold the same fate, since both of us were going to be involved in duties, which required 100 percent committment and hardwork.

Oh on that note, I have started the preparations for Indian Police Service (IPS) examination. I thought maybe indulging myself into studies would lessen the burden of thoughts all roaming in my mind. And yes, it did help. I was able to divert my mind by focusing on the textbooks, rather than overthinking about Vyom's health, his safety etc.

I just closed the fat-and-boring polity book, and leaned back on the chair, trying to gain some energy to get up and make myself a second cup of coffee when my phone beeped.

'As usual, Jio walo ka hi message hoga' I thought, and took a quick reluctant glance at my phone. But as soon as I did, my heart skipped a beat.

No no, two beats.

I started gaining all the energy I had lost. My heart fluttered, danced and hopped and screamed.

No, this aint an ekta kapoor serial's protagonist going gaga in love, this is me, Karishma Singh, the most inexpressive girl, who never thought would find love, mentally doing 10 backflips out of sheer excitement.

It was a message from 'Him', my Vyom.
It read
"Missed me, Ma'am?"

God, I can read the text in Vyom's usual smirking tone.

Also, wait. "Ma'am"? "Ma'am"!!!! Oh God I was blushing like a fool, at how filmy-flirtatious even his texts were.

"A lot" I typed but before I could click on the send button he called me.

"Hello Kashi"

"Vyom.. I missed you! Kaise ho, kaha ho, kab aaoge, how is your training going"

"Hushh.. Too many questions woman! I am coming back, tonight."

"Sacchi"

"Yes.. and listen.. mere liye kuch acha sa bana ke rakhna, I'm damn hungry, but mujhe bahar kuch nahi khana, seedha ghar hi aake khaunga"

I giggled "Okay Mr Vyom, agar aapko yaad na ho to bata dun, we don't live together, apne ghar jaake khud hi bana lena, got it"

Vyom let out a weak, sleepy chuckle.

"Acha abhi I'm ending the call, I have to board the flight. See you soon, Kashi"

"Jaldi aao, I can't wait to see you" I said and the call hung up.

I swirled the chair, and got up, walking towards the kitchen to make a hot cup of coffee.. From the window, I glanced at Vyom's locked house. Santu and Cheetah, had already went back to Lucknow a few weeks ago, so there was no one living there.

Idea!! I can decorate his house to welcome him! What a brilliant thought.

Texted him "Around what time will you land here?" and proceeded to find the keys of his place since Santu handed it over to us, while leaving.

Moving towards Vyom's house, I started off with the very basic part - dusting. Next, I went to a shop and bought few tiny scented candles and some other stuff.

I styled the scented candles on the table of his living room making a heart, a bouquet of flowers next to it.

(Detailing mat add karwana please I'm bad at it😭)

His house was decorated perfectly with cute cards I made specially for him.

Hours went by, but the text I sent Vyom, was not even delivered.

'He must be in the plane' I thought.

A few hours more and he would be here with me! ❤

I went back to my house, to change into something better.

Having already informed Haseena and Bhaiya about Vyom's arrival, I sat on the chair, clicking happy selfies.

I was so tired with all the planning and decorating that my sleepy eyes couldn't help but drift into slumber.

My eyes shut open, at the sound of Bhaiya's car honking outside the door.

My heartbeats were fast, I checked the time it was 8pm.

I ran to open the door for bhaiya, who after parking his car, casually questioned me about Vyom.

An unknown fear crept up my mind when I looked towards his house.

It was still locked.

Vyom didn't arrive yet.

But it is 8 pm, his flight should have landed already.

"Bhaiya.. Vyom abhi tak nahi aaya.." I said, my voice shaking with a hint of nervousness and fear.

"Arey but, did he tell you when will he land?"

I was suddenly reminded about the whatsapp text I sent him.

I checked it, and to my horror, it still was on a single tick.

"I asked but he didn't receive my message"

Bhaiya sensed the fear in my voice. Immediately he pulled the reverse gear and asked me to sit in his car.

"Airport chalo Kashi!" he said.

Upon reaching the airport, bhaiya pulled out his DSP identification card, and went ahead to query about the flight from Srinagar to Delhi.

Meanwhile I was trying to dial Vyom's number trying my best not to panick.

Where are you Vyom..

Heyo, guys thats enough for today. Stay tuned for the next part
