khwaab

the feelings untold

abhimaan's pov

the way vridha kept eyeing the food i knew my little patakha was hungry , as we walked towards our table she suddenly halted , and for the first time i couldn't understand what was going on in her head

she kept staring at a guy looking shocked and his expression said the same , who is he? were they dating? is he the guy best-friends people worry about? what is going on i am so confused

"abhimaan beta meet mr raichand" choti maa said bringing her back from her thoughts, i wish i could read her mind right now "hume toh laga tha vridha humari bahu banegi" (we thought vridha will be our daughter in law) he said making the ladies laugh but what was so funny? as if vridha was going to date his loser son

"i am sure arhan will bring your perfect daughter in law soon" vridha ko us nikame ka naam kyu pata hae? and why are they acting so close? "hopefully cause vridha was always meant to be mine" i don't know why i am behaving like this but my silly tactics even made this little 4 year old chuckle

"kya samaj aaraha hae tujhe chota chor" (what did you understand lil theif) tickling atharv as he bursted into laughter made me smile too , the moment he met vridha this little theif as stolen whatever time we could spend eachother but i am glad he's happy with this , cause to me my family comes first.

"vridha yaha aao beta" her mother pulled her apart from the crowd without listening to her as she just gave apologetic looks to mr raichand and he nodded understandingly

nahi matlab kya chal raha hae? meri koi kadar hi nahi hae? mujhe kon esa looks dega? mae bhi toh yahi khada tha (no what is going on , like no one cares to give me those looks? even i was standing here)

why is everybody just stealing her away from me and why does she have to look so beautiful totally not fair

"aajayegi bhabhi chinta mat kar" rudra said , gosh ye ladka kabh aaya yaha "meri wali toh aajayegi tu apna dekhle" (my wife will come you should think about yours) rudra and ahana are like two peas but both on different pots if that makes sense , ive known rudra since my college days

won't call this guy my friend don't want to flatter him that way but he's bearable , alteast better than others

[rudra oberoi , age : 27
went to the same uni with abhimaan , he owns a security company called AR securities]

author's pov

both abhimaan and vridha were now in their respective rooms , the conversation between vridha and her mom had ended up with another argument ruining her mood even on her big day , currently she was working on her laptop going through emails as the rest of the week would be really hectic

the knock on the door made her wonder who it is at this hour , rethinking if she should open the door or no the knocks kept getting louder , before she would wake up someone else the door opened only to find abhimaan with a food plate in his hand

"tumne khana nahi khaya tha" (you forgot eating dinner) she indeed hadn't eaten anything since the morning "you care to much for someone who hates me" this is how it is , she's scared to show her gratitude because any sort of feelings towards abhimaan will pull her deeper inside the house and by the time she finally realises to reach for the door it'll be too late
