PRESENCE - MAKES YOU OR BREAKS YOU

35

She's sitting still at her place reading out his message again and again and several thoughts are running in her head . Her mind is stopping her from thinking about going with him but her heart wants to know the answers behind his ignorance . She looks at the time and it's 12:30 pm and she need to decide it faster that what she has to do . But in between what she knows and what she feels , the feelings are one step ahead . And she chooses her heart . She keeps the phone aside and walk in the washroom to get freshen up . She gets ready wearing a white full sleeves crop top and a box pleated up down skirt , tassel earrings and a simple 3 strand braid and slightly applied lipstick . She took her bag and again she tilted back and looked at herself . She locked her room and left towards the lobby .

Other side darshan after texting the text is impatient to know whether she would come or not . And what if she didn't come . He is staring at his phone wanting it to not buzz with a reply . After waiting for almost 15 min , when his phone didn't buzz , he broke down into a wide grin . She never complemented him but still he gets ready in a wish that at least today she will notice him and complement him . Does she ever notice me ? He wears a brown tee and a black shirt with sleeves folded , cream coloured pants , a bracelet in his left hand and usual specs which completed his look . He locks his room and goes to the lobby and gets his bike keys from one of his friends .

He is five minutes earlier and impatiently waiting for her to come . He is sitting on the couch and rubbing his hands together when his eyes fall on her . He stands up straight , and is observing her with full admiration . She looks elegantly beautiful with simplest of outfits . He is not able to even blink for a while . His trance broke when shweta snapped her fingers in front of him

Darsh - beautiful

Shweta eyes widen with shock - what

Darshan divert his attention from her - the hotel , its beautiful right ? ( he bites his lower lip and twitches his eyes )

Shweta - ya it is

( she's not able to understand him , like why is he talking about unnecessary facts and she clutches her handbag )

To not get into anymore awkward situations he just speaks up - Let's go

Shweta just nod her head and go out . Darshan asks her to wait and leave . She's wondering what he is up to and where is he gonna take her . She's lost when a pulsar stops in front of her . She looks at the bike and then at the person when he removes his helmet and his wide grin relax her

Darsh - I hope you don't mind coming with me on the bike

Shweta thinks before speaking - no

Darsh - OK then let's go

She is hesitated to keep her hands on his shoulders and sit . Darsh senses her nervousness and speaks up , " don't worry , you can hold me till you sit " .

She looks at him and just tilt her head up and down . She put her hands on his shoulder and sit on the bike . She don't know why she's feeling awkward . Darsh ask her if she's comfortable and then start the bike . She knows ahemdabad's roads so she didn't bother to remover her hand from his right shoulder as its better to hold than falling . He's wearing a helmet so that people don't recognise him .

They both are silent but darshan is busy staring at her reflection in side mirror . And to hold on his emotions that her touch was creating . Soon they reached the place and as shweta looks up at entrance of JIVAN SANDHYA her smile is the widest till now . Darsh applies break and shweta get down , darsh park his bike and come to her when he notices tears in eyes looking at the board . Darsh put his hand on her shoulder , " you are fine right ? "

Shweta looks away and wipes her tears and with a smile looks at him - hmm

Darsh - so then let's go in

They are about to enter when her phone rings and it's yash bhai , she picks up the call

Yash - shweta where are you , actually I came to your hotel but they told me that you left somewhere

Shweta - bhai I'm out , will talk with you later

Darsh tries to speak up when shweta puts her fingers on his lips and signals him to stay quiet .

Yash - shweta listen to me ( before he speaks up the call has already ended )

Yash smiles and speak - just get inside siso and I'll surprise you

Darsh is having a hard time with himself as he is trying hard to resist over her and she's just making it more difficult for him . Whenever she makes contact with his body he just feels butterflies in his stomach . Some tingling sensation is created . And when her fingers made contact with his lips , he just lost control over his heartbeats .

Shweta removed her hand and spoke - who told you about this place

Darsh - that doesn't matter , this smile does ( and he leaves inside )

Shweta is standing without moving an inch . His words always make her think what he actually meant . And why does it matter to him whether I smile or not .

Why is he concerned about my happiness . Whatever he's doing is somewhere not right , it doesn't feel so to her . Her smile fades when someone comes and closes her eyes from behind .

She struggle to recognise who the person is . But finally she guessed it right it's radha kaki . She turn and hug her and they both together get inside . And everyone is happy to see their daughter after months . Everyone praises her and playfully beat her for coming after months . Her smile had no boundaries . She was surrounded with love and care . She was busy explaining why she didn't came to meet them , her cute gestures , that smile and the loving way she was speaking with them gave another reasons to darsh to fall for her . She was busy with a self made family and darsh staring at each expression when a voice reached his ears

Yash - nazar na lag na jaanu , thought ye ghabraye saanu . I know I'm a very bad singer but yet , stop staring at her

Darsh look at him - actually I would have listened to you but you know what it's really hard to resist over her

Yash - in all this don't forget why we brought her here , and stop being so close to her . You have so many cars then what was the reason behind coming on a bike

Darsh smile - woh actually ... Anyone would have recognised the car . Like people know which car I use

Yash - Mr.Raval I'm not a kid nor you are , so it's better to maintain a distance than to get beaten by your unofficial girlfriends bhai, what say ?

Darsh gulped hard - OK fine

Yash paste a smile - better
