•Chapter Fifteen

-Dhivti-

It has been two weeks since Anisha and Aarav's wedding and a week since I left India for a business trip to Dubai.

Two weeks since I have seen or talked to Jahaan. Yes, I have been thinking a lot about him lately. I don't know why. Somehow, Jahaan has become a part of my life. Maybe because I kept seeing him a lot.

Today, I returned to India and I am on my way to my house where I'm sure Anisha is waiting for me.

She sent me a list of all the things she wants me to buy for her from Dubai and she knows that I have returned, so she will definitely be there.

I reach home only to find no one there.

What the hell? Where is mummy?

I call her and she picks up after multiple rings.

"Yes, bacha?" Mummy answers.

"Mummy, where are you? I just came home."

"Oh sorry Dhivu, I forgot to inform you. I am at the hospital, bacha."

A wave of fear runs through me. I quickly take my car keys to drive to her.

"Where, mummy? What happened to you?" I rush to the driver's seat.

"No no, Dhivu, nothing has happened to me. Aarav has been admitted and we are all here."

"Which hospital, mummy?"

"AKF hospital."

I quickly drive to the hospital.

My heart may have frozen a few years ago but I care a lot about my people and I can do anything for them. Aarav is also included. I have always thought of him as my brother and I care about him.

I hope everything is fine and nothing is serious. I wonder what Anisha must be going through. Anisha might be acting all tough but she is as sensitive as a baby.

.

I ask at the reception as soon as I reach the hospital and move towards the room where Aarav is.

I barge in only to bump into a hard thing. Or a person?

I look up to come across the man who is determined to melt my frozen heart. Jahaan Joshi.

He holds me to save my fall, his hands protectively on my waist and his eyes on me. The same intensity that I always find there and a small smile on his lips as if he is contented to see me after so long. His stubble has grown and it makes him look more manly. So attractive. How can a man look so pretty? And why did he have to barge into my life with all his attractiveness?

"uhu-uhu," someone coughs and I immediately stand straight. Shit. How can I get lost in him like that?

Jahaan is blocking my view so I move to the right side to see Aarav on the bed, Anisha and mummy settled on the small couch in the room.

From the smirk on Anisha's face, I know she is the one who fake coughed.

I clear my throat and walk towards Aarav.

"What happened, Aarav?" I ask him.

"Just a little accident. I am fine, Dhivti, don't worry," he says with a smile.

He has fractured his left hand.

I turn towards Anisha, "and you? How much did you cry?" she glares at me and Aarav chuckles.

"Obviously, I will cry if anything happens to my man," she turns towards my mother, "aunty tell your daughter not to tease me," she continues and pouts.

Mummy comes walking towards me, "don't say anything to my second daughter," she scolds playfully and then hugs me.

"How was your trip Dhivu?" she asks, breaking the hug.

"It was fine mummy. I got a deal worth 50 lakhs. The work will start in a week or two. We are launching a new product," I say and she beams in happiness, hugging me again.

This is what I live for. To see the most important woman in my life, happy. This is what moves me, what makes me want to work hard.

My sight moves towards Jahaan and I see him standing at the same place where I left him, staring at me. Has he been staring at me all this time? He didn't even move an inch from where I found him. Butterflies erupt in my stomach. What the hell? This is a problem. Huge fucking problem. He cannot make me feel like this. He cannot look at me with so much adoration in his eyes like right now.

This heart cannot melt. Not now, not ever.

I look away from him trying to calm my fast beating heart.

.

Later, mummy went home and it was just us four in the room. Mummy asked me to go with her also but Anisha wanted me to be by her side so I stayed.

"Anisha, take me for a walk yaar. I am exhausted in this room," Aarav breaks the silence.

"Okay fine, let's go."

Does that mean I will be left alone with Jahaan in this room? No no no. I should not. This man is dangerous for my cold heart.

"Let me also come," I speak up.

"No," Anisha almost yells.

What the hell?

"Why?" I narrow my eyes.

"I want to spend some quality time with my man," she shrugs and before I could say anything, they both leave.

That is suspicious. Did she purposely leave me here alone with Jahaan? I swear, I will kill this chudail (witch) one day.

I turn back to see Jahaan sitting so comfortably on the sofa, a small smile playing on his lips. A teasing smile. He is enjoying my nervousness? I glare at him.

He chuckles, "I missed that," he says.

"Missed what?"

"Your glares," he says and I blush.

"That too." I frown.

"What?"

"I missed your blushing face too," he says.

I say nothing. This man makes me speechless.

He scoots to his left side and gestures me to sit next to him. I hesitantly, sit because what else can I do. It will scare him if I just run away, won't it? Considering how protective he is, he might even file a missing report on me.

Really, Dhivti? Are you trying to be funny?

"I forgot to mention one more that I missed the most," he says and I look towards him, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What?"

"You." My breath hitched, "I missed you."

I look away. Why is he speaking to me like this?

"Why? I voice out, my tone low.

On not hearing a response, I look towards him only to find him staring at me. His head leaning against his hand fist while looking at me so deeply.

Why do I feel his answer is in his eyes? His eyes....

Is that love that I see in his eyes? No. No way. It can't be. How can a man like Jahaan even love me? Me, who can never feel the emotion that is currently in his eyes. Love.

He can never love someone like me.

Surely, I am just misinterpreting it all.
