Meri Jaan

Chapter 4

'TAYYARI DATE KI'

AKSHAT'S POV

I drove my way back to my place while Aashay was in the backseat lying down, and i think he might even catch a nap. Meanwhile the events of today reeled in my head.

She gave me space. Understood me for what i wanted to say instead of getting offended. She was sweet and polite.

She even thought so much for me that she spoke for me. She didn't need to but she did because i wanted that.

She is... too good.

But to what extent? What will it be like when she sees what fucked up relation me and my family have. She is good but what about the darkest and deepest of my thoughts that are unsaid, for my family. She won't be knowing that something is wrong because a normal family is not like that.

I sighed getting my mood down again. Let's see.

She even asked for my number. Kya chu- sorry, kya gadha hun mai bhi? Itna bhi nahi kar paya?!

Woh toh thank god a little sense got knocked into me when she asked and i gave her my phone. I even told her the password. I didn't feel like hiding. I didn't feel like that because she had been nothing but sweet and opposite of a person from whom i would have felt the need to hide it.

She called me Akshat ji. Oh my God.

My skin tingled, heart fluttered when she said my name while talking to my father and when we were leaving, she even said apna khyal rakhiyega. I felt so good. Obviously, when a person whom you just met treats you like her priority, it definitely is gonna feel good.

Agar mai ek normal, thoda less fucked up and exhausted ladka hota, I'd have melted and hugged
h

er.

I called her 'tum'. Is it okay? I just wanted to make her feel comfortable and appreciated. To drop down the formalities, and flirt a little too so that she doesn't think i don't feel anything about this. She is breathtakingly good inside out and that should be appreciated.

I felt I went overboard too early but the red hue on her face compensated everything. She shined when i told that to her.

Smiling peacefully i thought, bhagwaan ki daya se koi aisi toh ni mili jiska mujhe dar tha, i should be thankful. She is not like what i thought her to be.

"Bhaiyaaa.." Aashay's low toned voice stopped my train of thoughts. He's tired and lazy but atleast he will be tolerable.

"Hmm?"

"Bhabhi hain kya woh?" Not again.

"You know right ham abhi abhi rishte ke liye haan karke aa rhe hain. Then why are you asking this dumb question?" I asked him because why not. I just agreed for the alliance toh phir yeh question kyun.

"Nahi re bhaiya, aap apni batao, dil ki baat, flat ho gye na aap?" He asked with a mischievous smile while moving his eyebrows.

I was tongue tied, because what do i say? I don't know mai 'flat' hua ke nhi. Her face came in front of my eyes and I reminisced about her actions, her expressions, her features.
