The Pursuit Of Love

12

The guest started coming as it was really high time , Avyaan almost ran to his room to get ready.

Climbing up the stairs, he entered inside the room to have a look at Varahi , who was pinning her saree and finally no cardigan or anything today , just her saree draped around her figure beautifully and pallu falling on her arm perfectly as she chose to do a free hand.

Avyaan's eyes travelled down and stopped at her waist , he immediately removed his eyes feeling his intrusive thoughts coming into play.

"Are you done?" he asked , looking at her.

"Yea , How -" ... "Get a side then" Avyaan asked, cutting her off in between. It's already getting late.

~~~~~

Spraying the perfume in the air, Varahi walked through it - while Avyaan looked at her with 'seriously?' Look.

"Won't you feel cold?" He asked, looking at her wearing no cardigan, nothing, when she is the one who is always like - it's cold - it's cold.

"Nahi, aap ke side mein rahungi to nahi lagegi" She said and Avyaan frowned looking at her ,

"Let's go"Varahi said moving ahead , he hurriedly held her wrist stopping her in her tracks , "What does that mean?"

"That you are hot'' She said, walking a step closer to him , While Avyaan's movements ceased as he looked at her , absorbing what she really said out loud.

"Lame" Avyaan chuckled as he looked at her.

"Facts"

"Let's go" His spoke as he felt her fingers brushing the back of his hand and moving to his palm as she interlinked their hands.

"Let's go now ," She smiled , pulling him out of the room, their hands interlocked. Her hands so soft as if holding a baby's hand.

So soft, so small , completely hidden beneath his palm.

Avyaan felt a smile forming on his lips as he recalled her words.

"Avii" Avyaan's brows knitted together as he heard a familiar voice calling out for him. Looking around , his eyes settled on the speaker and his lips lifted up in a smile.

"Anika?" Avyaan whispered leaving Varahi's hand as Anika came, taking him in a bone crushing hug.

Varahi looked at her hand , which was now feeling empty and cold at the loss of his warmth.

"Avi , I missed you so much," Anika said as she pulled out from the hug , her right arm still resting on him.
Avyaan smiled as his eyes fell on Jiya as she approached them following Anika.

The heck, remove your hand girl.

"I missed you more," Avyaan replied , turning around and looking at Varahi only to find her looking at them.

"Anika , Varahi - Varahi , Anika , My close friend" He completed as both the ladies shared a hello.

"Forgot me?" Jiya jumped in the conversation as she gave a side hug to Varahi followerd by Avyaan.

"You look pretty" Jiya complimented Varahi.

"You look pretty too" Varahi complimented her back. A genuine compliment.

"Where is Kia?" Varahi asked Jiya as she replied telling her she is preparing for some surprise with the duo.

They drgged Avyaan to meet some of their old friends Varahi went to her parents as she spotted them , not forgetting that he didn't mentioned her as his wife a moment ago.
