Tera Deedar Hua (On hold till completion of tangled ties)

Sorry

Abhimanyu's POV

It was 11 o' clock when I kept my last folder and checked my phone to see message from mumma.

Raat bahut ho gayi hai Abhi. Avni ko dinner bahar hi kara lena.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I took my car keys and dashed outside. Taking my car, I speed drove towards the hospital.

Abhi.....tu usse pick karna kaise bhul sakta hai?

Reaching the hospital I ran towards the reception. The receptionist greeted me to which I just nodded. I was about to ask her about Avni when my eyes fell on a figure and I ran towards it.

There she was, sleeping uncomfortably on the waiting chair as a pang of guilt punch me.

Damn Abhi

I was about to pick her up when her up when she opened her eyes. She checked her phone, then stood up and started walking outside.

I quickly followed her and opened the door of my car. She sat down as I made it towards my side and sat in as well.

Avni's POV

He opened the door for me as I sat down. He must be feeling that I am angry on him but I am really not. Being a doctor I myself understand that sometimes people are stuck in situations or work. Besides he looked guilty not arrogant.

As soon as he sat I down, my eyes fell on the red marks on his hands. It's must have been there because of the beating I gave him yesterday.

"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"

We said simultaneously then looked at each other for a second before bursting into fits of laughter.

After a few moments he stopped and looked at me before asking. "What are you sorry for?"

"For beating you like a kapda on dhobhi ghat. You?" I asked him back.

He chuckled at my words before replying "For making you wait till this late. You must be hungry right?"

"No-" as soon as those words left my mouth, my stomach betrayed me by grumbling and I looked away embarrassed.

He again chuckled before driving away. Soon the car came to an halt and I stepped out to see a Dhaba infront of me. I started to move ahead when I felt no one's presence so I looked behind to find Abhimanyu looking at me aswell.

He was headed towards the opposite direction where there was a five start restaurant. He must have also felt my absence to look behind.

"Oh sorry. Rich CEO with hygiene and all." I said. I know I was rude but trust me when I say I have trust issues and this guy have been behaving like a perfect gentlemen.

Ye baat Zara hajam nhi hui.

"No no.....it's not like that. Even I love Dhaba ka khana. Its just that it's 11 o'clock and I didn't think you would be comfortable with those wierd people lurking around.

Besides the restaurant belongs to Abhay. I would feel less guilty to make him cook this late at night rather than making the old man who owns the dhaba cook." He clarified. And trust me when I say......Mai to phisal gayi.

I gave him my most charming smile and started to walk towards the restaurant.

Abhay was still at the restaurant and to say I was shocked to know he even cooks at his restaurant would be an understatement.

No.....not because I am narrow minded and don't think that cooking is for men......but because only a few men choose this as an occupation when he is already a CFO of a well known company and owner of a restaurant. Besides there are also very rare family who supports this.

After ordering and having an eye conversation with his brother Abhimanyu turned towards me as Abhayansh left us alone.

"Um let us have a formal introduction." I started. "Hi.....I am Avni Sinha. A child specialist working as an intern at ASR hospital." I forward my hand.

He looked amused before accepting my offer and closed his large hands around me.

Lage 440 volt chhune se tere.

"Hi. Abhimanyu Malhotra. CEO of Malhotra group of industries."

We sat there for a while after which he broke the silence. "Aren't you gonna speak. I mean no offense but I thought you won't stop as girls love to speak."

"Well I don't speak much. I am good listener. So, you tell me, how was your day?"

And that was all he needed to start blabbering. And honestly, I didn't find it annoying rather I enjoyed and laughed alot.

Finally we reached home after having dinner. As soon as he stopped his car, I took out the ointment kept in my bag and applied it on his wound.

"Thankyou." We again said at the same time, then chuckled before wishing each other good night and leaving for our respected rooms.
