AbhiMaan Short stories

Humsafar

One fine morning, Abhira was getting ready when she noticed that Armaan was continously staring at her.

Abhira:Khadoosmaan..tum mujhe ghoor kyun rahe ho?

Armaan:Kyunki tum bohot khoobsurat ho..

Abhira:Kya?

Armaan(coming back to his senses):I mean..main tumhe nahi dekh raha tha..main kuch soch raha tha..

Abhira:Kya soch rahein thei?

Armaan:Tum vo sab chodo..tum ye batao..aaj shaam ko mere saath bahar chalogi?

Abhira:Bahar?Matlab kaha?

Armaan:Just a date..

Abhira:Date?

Armaan:Nahi ..mera matlab just bahar khaana khaane ke liye..baaki sab ek shaadi attend kar rahein hai aur Ruhi apne maayke gayi hai..toh i thought we can go out..

Abhira:Fine Khadoosmaan..

Armaan had actually fallen in love with Abhira and wanted to confess his feelings.

Abhira on the other hand was confused about Armaan's behaviour and her feelings.

That evening when Abhira came back, she went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she saw a box with a note.

Note:Abhiraa, ye dress maine khaas tumhaare liye liya hai.Agar tum aaj raat ye pehnogi toh mujhe achha lagega..Tumhaara Khadoosmaan.

Abhira:Ye Khadoosmaan bhi..

She wore the dress he gave.It was a blue gown that had some beautiful designs on it. When she came out of the room, Armaan was awestruck.Armaan drove down to a restaurant and took Abhira in.

Abhira:Wow..ye restaurant toh meri favourite hai..

Armaan:Isliye toh hum yaha aaye hain.

They ordered a lot of food and enjoyed it.After that Armaan blindfolded Abhira and took her somewhere.

Abhira:Kaha leke jaa rahe ho mujhe..

Armaan:Thoda wait karo.

He finally removed her blindfold and she was surprised.The place was decorated beautifully

Abhira:Wow Armaan ye..

She looked back and saw Armaan down on one knee.

Armaan:Abhira..i dont know ye kab hua..but jo hua sahi hua..pyaar hawa ki tarah hoti hai..aap usse dekh nahi sakte par mehsoos kar sakte hai..I love you Abhira.

He presented a rose to her.

Abhira:Armaan ye sab kya hai? Tum jaante ho ki humaari shaadi sirf ek deal hai..toh tumne mujhse pyaar kaise ki? Mere liye tum sirf mere achhe dost ho.

Armaan:Achha? Agar kal tumhaare jaane ke baad main kisi aur ladki se shaadi karunga toh tumhe achha lagega?

Abhira:Tum kya bol rahein ho Armaan?

Armaan(holding her tightly):Bolo..kya tum mujhe kisi aur ke saath dekh sakti ho?

Abhira:Nahi!!!

Armaan:Kyun?

Abhira:I dont know..

Saying this she ran away from there.

She went back to Poddar house and ran to her room.She quickly changed into her night clothes and tried to sleep.But Armaan's words kept ringing in her head.Why would she feel bad if Armaan was with some other girl?

By then Armaan came back home.He saw Abhira and thought she has already slept.He took his blanket and went and slept on the sofa.Abhira was actually awake but she was pretending to sleep.

Abhira(thinking):Armaan sofe pe kyun so raha hai?

She realized she is feeling a sense of emptiness without Armaan.She tried to imagine her future without Armaan but instead she starts getting dreams of a happy future with Armaan. She realizes that she loves Armaan.She gets excited about her feelings but also feels bad for hurting Armaan.

The next morning, Abhira got up early and got ready.She went to Armaan who was still asleep.She kissed him on the cheeks .Armaan held her hand in his sleep.

Abhira:Armaan..

Armaan:Kya Abhira..sapne main bhi tum itni khoobsurat kaise ho sakti ho?

Abhira blushed.She tried to free her hand but ends up loosing her balance and falls on Armaan.Armaan wakes up.He sees Abhira and gets lost in her.

Abhira:Armaaaaan..

Armaan comes back to his senses and recalls the previous night's incident.He gets up.

Armaan:Abhira...i am sorry..Agar meri feelings ke wajah se tum uncomfortable feel kar rahi ho.

Abhira:No Armaan..i am sorry.

Armaan:Tum sorry kyun bol rahi ho?

Abhira:Kyunki main apni feelings samajh hi nahi paayi..

Abhira goes down on her kness.

Abhira:Armaan, i am sorry and i love you..please dont be angry with me..

Armaan was overjoyed..He hugged Abhira and kissed her forehead.Abhira returned his kiss with a kiss on his cheek.They promised each other to always be together.
