Long time No see

His pov

"How was your work going son ?" Mr Mehta asked
"Good Uncle," I said in a polite tone and smiled
"I must say, Anil, your son is very smart & talented and handsome too and that's the very killer combination " Mr . Mehta said playfully
" Thank you Uncle " I smiled at him
"But what's the advantage of having such a son, when your son comes to meet his parents only twice a year!" My father complained
I understand his & mom's feelings but I have worked there, and I can't do anything if it will only my hands then I will never leave my parents.
"Stop complaining man, you're the only one who sends his son abroad to handle your own company & now look where he brought your company, you are lucky to have a son like him, " Mr Mehta said to him
Mr. Mehta is the only one who can talk to my father like this. My father is cool but also he is so strict and always stays in his posture. Because of Mr. Mehta, he becomes more cool and fun. I adore their friendship.
" Thanks, Uncle, because of your emotional manipulation, he is here" Shiv winked at my father at which my father laughed. I rolled my eyes at them.
As everyone got busy in their conversation, Shiv sat next to me " Hey man good thing you're here, everyone will be so happy to see you, especially Mahek and Kavya and you know Sanjana is also here ". Hearing her name, I felt my heart racing so fast.
"And yeah I will also introduce you to Maddison, the girl I told you about," he said to me at which I raised my eyebrows because he was talking like he didn't bite my ears off talking about her whole day like how good she is to him.

After introducing myself to everyone, I also met Mahek's fiancé, he is a good guy. I must say Mahek is in good hands. After a few times Mahek & Kavya started coming with maids carrying trays of food, they sat the tray down and then both of them, looked at me. They looked shocked
"Am I seeing Ahaan Jain or you are someone who looks like him? " Kavya asked me in her sarcastic tone
I rolled my eyes at her antics
"No Kavya, I'm Ahaan Jain, not someone else," I said to her
"It's not her fault that she didn't recognise you, you are the one who came to India after years " Mahek taunted me
"Sorry guys, but don't start now, with so much difficulty I stopped my father, you guys don't start, " I said to them in a little pleading voice
"Ok we will not tease you but you have to give us our hugs " Mahek said, she is very sweet while Kavya is a sarcastic person
Kavya rolled her eyes at Mahek and said "Really Mahek !"
"Stop now Kavya, at least he is here and attending the wedding " Mahek explained to her at which she nodded her head
"Now, give us our hugs kid," Kavya said like she was my mom

I rolled my eyes at her and hugged them tightly. Mahek is like my elder sister & Kavya is like my first girl best friend because she is of my age. Both of them always treated me like they treated Shiv. When I went abroad for work, they called me twice a month asking me how was I doing because they knew I was sad about my grandmother's death. They always showed how much they cared for me even Pihu also sometimes talked to me asking me about things, she is a very extroverted kid. But not once in any call, Sanjana talked to me even if she was there in India, but I'm okay with it  I understand why she doesn't want to talk to me.

I was busy talking with Shiv when suddenly everybody went silent, I looked up to see her, Sanjana was standing there with her friend I guess, Maddison's name was, her friend went to take a sit and started talking with Kavya but she standing there like a lost kid in carnival not knowing what to do. She looked so cute and beautiful, her wavy brown hair, her eyes, her lips that I badly wanted to kiss, her small fingers at which she was nervously fiddling with, everything about her was so mesmerising that I couldn't even take my eyes off.

Feeling her nervousness, Uncle stands up to introduce her daughter to everyone because everyone knows that she can't speak a word until she gets comfortable with that person. She's always like that, she hates socialising and so many times I noticed her getting anxious when everyone gives her attention. When I was a teenager, I thought she was just trying to look scared little girl to get attention but now I know her getting nervous and anxious around people is not an act.

"She is beautiful ", Mahek's mother-in-law said to Mr.Mehta
"Indeed she is", my father commented voicing my thoughts
She is beautiful, she is the epitome of beauty and innocence but something about her says that she is strong as well. She is not that little girl anymore who used to follow her brother and me everywhere. She's changed.

She smiled at both of them like she was not used to such comments. Like how she is not used to such comments, maybe that's also because of me. God, why I was such a jerk to my little Anna? She is always been my little Anna.

She took her place beside her sisters. After a few minutes, she looked up as if feeling my stare on her, her eyes clashed with mine, and she suddenly froze as if she saw a ghost, her eyes looked so shocked as if she was not expecting me to be here, I'm glad I am here. She looked at me with the same eyes as how she used to look at me when we were young but at that time I used to hate it but now I'm dying to get her one look. She moved her eyes away breaking the eye contact but I was still looking at her without blinking like she would disappear if I blinked my eyes. I have this weird fear. My bambina is talking to Mahek's fiance all laughing and smiling which I didn't like, she never once smiled at me or laughed with me. She again looked at me but now she looked scared by my glare on her, so she quickly turned away.

Fuckk! Why do I get so insecure when it comes to her? I hate when she talks to other guys with all smiles & laughs. I hated it so much that I didn't even let her date anyone without her knowing that I was the reason behind it. Even though I was far away from her still I made sure to know everything about her. But still, there are so many things I don't know about her and only Anna can tell me those things because I know she never tells anyone what she is going through. Yeah, Anna is also the nickname he gave it to her. She always keeps it up to herself. I hope one day she trusts me enough to talk about those things.
