" Hey did you see Aashi ? " I asked Ashish .
" Yes I saw her talking with Siya and a group of girls " he replied .
" theek hai " I rushed towards the group .
( Ok. )
She was looking gorgeous today . I know she likes to wear Indian that's why I decided the theme as desi . I took some pictures of her secretly . Agar woh saamne nahi hai tho isise kaam chalana padtha hai .
( If I cannot see her in real , I can only look at her pictures)
" Where is Aashi ? " I asked Siya .
" She left " Siya said .
" left ? She didn't even tell me " I asked confused .
" Arshi told that she is not feeling well " she replied .
" What happened to her ? Is she fine ? " I asked agitated .
" Nothing serious . She doesn't feel comfortable in air conditioning it seems " she said coolly .
" Then you should've reduced the air conditioning . How can you be so irresponsible " I shouted .
" Why are you shouting at me ? If she was not feeling well , what can I do " she retorted .
" Siya don't you have some courtesy . She was with you and you are least bothered about her " I roared .
" Shiv now you are crossing your limits . Have you gone mad ? She was fine a few minutes ago . Suddenly if she doesn't feel right what can I do " she argued .
Before I could reply Ashish came and pulled me away from the place and brought me to a private room .
" Yaar yeh tu kya kar raha tha neeche " he questioned .
( What were you doing downstairs )
" Aashi was not feeling good and she is saying it so casually . How will I react then ? " I bellowed .
" Ok fine calm down . Did you ask Aashi how she is feeling ? " Ashish enquired .
" Arrey iss chakkar mein maine woh bhool gaya " I immediately took my phone and called her .
( I forgot about this because of the drama )
She picked up the phone after a few rings .
" Aashi how are you ? I heard you were not feeling well . Are you fine ? What happened ? " I asked in worry .
" I ... I am fi... fine . I will talk to you later " she replied feebly and cut the call before I could reply .
" Ashish she cut the phone before I could answer man . Her voice was so low . I don't know something has happened . But what ? " I mumbled in confusion .
" Maybe she is tired now . Call her tomorrow she'll be fine " he assured .
" But I have to say that you are in love with her " he said .
" What are you saying . Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai " I reasoned .
( There is nothing like that )
" Really ! I saw how you were ready to burn Siya for her . You were fighting with her so fiercely " he explained .
Before I could say something in my defence he said " Kitna chupana hai chupalo par ek din mujhe hi aake batayega " and left without listening to me .
( Hide how much ever you want but you have to come and say it to me one day )
Even I am realising now that I literally lost my mind when I heard that she was not feeling well . I was too harsh on Siya I have to apologise to her later .
But is it true ? Am I in love with her ?
A few days later ...
" Yaar Ashish you know for the past few days I am trying to contact Aashi but she is ignoring me . She replies to my message but it is very distant . You know I even called her a few times she would pick my phone but saying some sick excuse she would end the call " I complained .
Before he could tell something I interrupted
" Tumhe pata hai maine uski college bhi Gaya tha lekin maine usse dekha nahi , uski dost ne kaha ki woh us din college aaya hi nahi " I continued .
( Do you know , I went to her college also but her friends told that she didn't come to college that day )
" She is driving me crazy man . I don't know what happened to her " I said worriedly .
" Do you love her ? " Ashish questioned.
" Dekho sach bata mujhe koi bahana nahi chahiye . Main tumhe bachpan se jaanta hoon aur tum ek ladki ke liye aise react kabhi nahi ki hai " Ashish continued .
( See tell me the truth I don't want any excuses . I know you since our childhood you never reacted like this for a girl )
" Tum kya sunna chahte ho . Ki main ussse pyaar karta hoon ya nahi na . Haan mein pyaar karta hoon usse . Uske Bina mere Zindagi kuch bhi nahi hai ab . Maine pehle bhi kuch ladkiyon ko date kiya hai . But no one disturbed me like she did . You know I am not able to concentrate on my work . I am missing myself these days . "I confessed .
( What do you want to hear , that do I love her or not right . Yes I love her . Without her there is nothing in my life . I have dated a few girls before )
" Mein uske bina nahi reh sakta hoon lekin pata nahi usse ho kya Gaya hai . Uski chupi mujhe bardhash nahi ho raha hai " I fell to the floor and started crying .
( I can't live without her but I don't know what happened to her . I can't stand her silence )
Ashish hugged and comforted me .
" Ab tho hum tumhari mehboob ko leke hi aayenga . Tum ro mat " Ashish assured .
( Now we will definitely get your beloved . Don't cry )
" I am coming for you Aashi . You can't run away from me . You are mine and mine only . Mujhe pata nahi ki tumhari dimaag mei kya Chal raha hai kuch bhi ho aaj mein jaanke hi rahunga " I left determined .
( I don't know what is going in your mind whatever it may be today I will definitely know it )
You are very special to me and no matter what I am not gonna lose you .
***
Finally Shiv confessed his feelings ?
Will he be able to gain Aashi's trust again ?
Let's see ;)
