CHAPTER 78

AUTHOR's POV

If there was something Aishwarya was thankful for in Delhi then it was always this particular Panipuri bhai and his great heart to give her an extra puri.

"I wonder why you are not a billionaire yet! Like bhai, you sell such yummy puri and I almost eat your puris every day! That my Google pay history always has your name " Aishwarya blabbed pushing a puri into her mouth, while the bhai smiled at her blabbering and continued his job.

Aishwarya was now all set to visit Chennai before joining in duty in Mysore and the reason was Aditi and her sudden plans. So before leaving Delhi completely, Aishwarya was here to enjoy a plate of panipuri on the corner of a busy road with her bags.

Her eyes watered due to the spicy panipuri and she wiped it with her Duppata! She missed Daisy! Since she had to stay in Chennai for a week with the girls! Mukesh promised her to bring Daisy along with him to Mysore directly

Suddenly a very familiar face caught her attention and she felt her heart almost stop! Her entire system stopped while her eyes were burning with tears.

There he was her! The love of her life! Her ram! Her Vikram standing there innocently with a backpack on his shoulders! He looked the same a lot more handsome and pretty than her eyes refused to move, long gone was the clean shave Vikram now the man stood with an untrimmed beard.

He was here! She saw him almost after half a decade and she felt her blood on fire as she noticed the old loose black hair tie still on his wrist.

Feeling someone's eyes on him. Vikram looked around and finally found the eyes which were buried holes in him. His little smile died, and he felt his hands sweaty.

She was here in Delhi! In front of him like old days! A plate of panipuri was still in her hands! She looked so pretty, her long hair always gaining his attention.

He slowly started walking towards her! When Aishwarya realised what was happening she feared, and panicked!

She can't let this happen! Not when she was doing well! Not when she was moving on. He had no right to show up like this and mess with her emotions.

She felt angry now! How dare he fool her and let her abandon him for almost a decade and then show up like a Prince Charming.

Watching him near her, she looked around like she was searching for something and finally dropped the plate on Bhai's hands and bent down pulling her sandals out.

Looking at her do so, Vikram's eyes went wide while his legs took a step back. Taking her sandals in hand she aimed at him, while Vikram understood the danger around him and decided to run while she chased him in the road with a sandal in hand.

Running out of breath! Aishwarya threw her sandals now and wore them while returning to the bhai's shop while breathing heavily.

Paying her bill she took her bags and rushed to the railway station since it was already time. By the time she reached the station, the train was already waiting and she somehow managed to get in and find her seat.

What just happened? Was it a dream? She didn't know but one thing she was that Vikram was here in Delhi and she also knew that she would never come back to Delhi.

Thanks to her company! She was getting a transfer to Mysore along with Mukesh and a few other staff.

Maybe the universe wanted her to meet Vikram one last time knowing they were never meant to be each other? The thought ached her chest but reality was kicking in.

Anyhow she conceived herself saying she would never meet him again! Delhi was 1000 km away from Mysore! He would probably never know where she would be after today! She made herself a note to tell the girls not to inform him like she did years ago.

*****

"Bhaiya I-" Vikram tried asking where Aishwarya went but it seemed like Bhai had no idea.

"Mujhe nein patha Beta" he said and Vikram ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

He can't let her go! Not for the second time! Not when he had her just a few feet away, not when her scent filled his lungs again making him feel alive.

He did not want to disturb her in the past years! But he tried searching for her. Begged her friends to tell her where she was but none opened their mouths and Vikram knew he had not given her the space she needed.

But now the patience in him was dead and he badly wanted her back in life and for that, he needed to search for her first and he would do that! Even if that meant staying in Delhi for another month just looking for her.

"But you could take the night flight nah?" Aravind asked to dev in the call

"No, I have to be there in the morning! Aditi's order" said Dev, while Arvind frowned

What was happening with Aditi? She had Riya from Paris with her now, kiki and Arjun left for Chennai this morning and he heard Aishwarya was on the way to Chennai.

"Right okay, I'll get going but wait when are you leaving for Chennai?" Dev asked

How would he tell her that she didn't invite him to whatever party or event she was hosting?

"Oh, I get it! It must be hard for her" Dev said after receiving only silence from him

"Why are you going to Chennai now?" Asked Aravind

"What ?? don't tell me you don't know!" Dev asked

"No, I don't know spell"

"Aditi is getting engaged " Dev said and Aravind was sure he heard him wrong until he uttered the next sentence

"Aditi is getting engaged to Nitin !" Dev said
