HIS LAST

~The haldi

Alina

I couldn't believe what was happening...I mean? Is it all for real? It was the 3rd day today and it was all happening so fast.
I was trying to wrap everything around my head.

Uh.

But this side of Akartya is something I don't know about. I don't know where we stand in the relationship bar. But all I know is, that maybe I'm being too much in my own thoughts.

Maybe I'm being delusional?

I should not keep any expectations after everything, I want to trust him but I'm sacred. I don't even know if I mean something to him but whenever I'm around him, I want to share my heart out. I want to talk as if it's the last time I'm talking and all I care about at that moment is him.

When I'm with him, it's as if he's my endgame.

Stop it Alina.
My today's day was quite busy, I was in my room the whole time attending calls and what not. 2 days more and I guess we will part ways again.
STOP it ALINA.
It was time for Haldi ceremony now, and I started getting ready because I was already getting late.
***

This was my outfit.

Without giving my self a second thought, I left the room. Oh god. I don't want to do all of this.
As soon as I entered the venue, I tried to figure Akartya out. His deep green eyes were nowhere to be found.

And just then Call gave me a side hug and then I joined all of my friends.
****

It was my turn to put the haldi paste on the bride and on the groom. Just when I was about to leave as my turn was over,
V

ikrti hold my hand and Oh God.
She wrapped her hands all over my face. Uh, I did the same and I wasn't aware when but me and Vikrti started playing as if we were 5yr old. But I was just too happy. Once done with that
"Vi yrr, C'monn, you don't get to do all this alone"
I started laughing.

"Oh stop Alina, it's time for fun"

We both laughed and I stood up and went to the washroom with Kri to clean up. I was already looking a mess.

"Acha Alina, I wanted to talk to you about something"

"Hmm?"
I said while cleaning my face. I was just too busy in the fact that I didn't realise that Krii was staring at me.

"He's here. And you are alright? I can't tell you how happy I'm. But Is there something you are hiding? I saw you guys dancing in the engagement as if there was no problem in between you guys. I love you so much Alina and I don't want you to get hurt"

I stopped.
I looked at her and gave her a genuine smile.
"Kri, I'm alright. Don't tell this to Nivi or Cal, they'll kill me but I and Akartya talked. And be honest I don't know where do we stand but I'm happy. Yes I am. Trust me and I will take care for sure"

She sighed and nodded not satisfied with my answer.

"Krii, accha baba ok, I will tell you right away if anything happens and I'll tell you everything for sure happy now?"

She grinned
"Yes"

We had a fun talk and went to the venue.
He was there. With Rihana? Ok. Something in my heart shifted but I didn't let it take all over me.
I observed him.
He was in a yellow kurta and he was standing there listening but not giving Rihana an inch of interest whereas she was just talking I couldn't figure out what.
And just then his eyes fell on me, his shoulders tightened and I went from there to show that I have no insert in him.

What a great lie Alina.

For the rest of the day he tried to come near me but I ignored him. Because I just didn't feel good.
***

I was not leaving for my room when someone held my arm and made me face him. The touch was familiar and it was Akartya. I tried to remove his hand but he was just to strong.
"Are you ignoring me?
"Nope"
He was silent for a bit and then asked
"Look if you are angry let me explain"

"I'm not"
It was not a lie completely?
Something twitched in his left eye but he gives me a single nod and leaves me?

Ok. Unexpected but whatever.
But he wants me not to ignore him. Why?
