Whispered Promises

1)The Book Store

Hi guysss , this is the first chapter of the story and the event that lead to the commencement of Mahir and Mridul's story.
Hope you all will like it

Mridul's Pov-
As the cries echoed in the room of the newborn, every person residing in the OT as well as outside had a joyful scream.

The mother couldn't have been more content and I got to witness this for the first time being the control of a full fledged surgery was the best thing I could have ever imagined.

As the cries dies and the baby becomes aware of her surroundings and the father comes in with nothing but love and gratefulness shimmering in his eyes looking at what I assume are two of the most important females of his life.

It made me happy looking at this small family and bringing in their bundle of joy… Ahhh so beautiful.

The new parents thanked me and the team and asked for the sweets and celebration was on the way… of course the grandparents on call screamed in joy on the arrival of Laxmi to their home.

Today couldn't have been better.. My first solo delivery was a success and then when I returned home I found ma and bhabhi all in the mood of celebration. These are the people I live for.

The look on their faces of pride made my head held high. I touched mumma’s feet and took her blessings, she said
“Mera baccha itna bada hogaya , look miku I couldn't have been more proud of her”

and bhabhi joined in saying “arrey mumma akhir beti kiski hai” and we all burst into laugh as mihika bhabhi embraced me in a warm hug telling me how proud she was.

Bhaiya was out for his business tour but later called during the care cutting and promised to be there before the end of the week. I can never be more grateful to all the sacrifices mum did for me and bro.

When papa left, she filled places for both the parents and got us through life and molding us into the person we are today.

I wanted to end today with a new book, so I left to go to my safe place, the book store. It's an open end library with a variety of genres stacked in different aile.

As I marged to my comfort section I caught glimpses of a tall man dressed like someone who walked straight out after making a multi million dollar deal like it was as easy as walking.

His calm and composed demeanor made me feel something.

If looks could be the sole criteria to love someone, I'm damn sure he would be the most loved.

As I found myself ogling Mr stranger in front of me I was snapped out of my wonderland when a calm and polite tone reached my ears but the words striking like an arrow

“if you are done checking me out miss I would like to take the book you are holding”

That's when I noticed he saw me practically checking him out. As embarrassment washed over me , I grasped the hold of the moment and shook my head.

Mahir's Pov-

After the deal was set , I couldn't wait much further to go to the bookstore, as a good day can never end without a beautiful book.

It was something I always admired. The stories held meanings like that of a nature, just when we thought we discovered everything, something or the other shows up, just like every corner holds a story of itself which is yet to be told.

Just when I walked in I Saw a girl, roughly about 5’4 in height with a body that girls could kill for and hair like that of a goddess herself.

She was walking around the aile looking for a particular book as I perceive but as she moved to my comfort section I followed out of curiosity.

As she grabbed the book while I was searching for my own , she stared down at me head to toe.

Well I usually come after changing into my normal clothes but today if I would have returned home and family members wouldn't have left me until all the celebrations of the deal was done and it would take alot of time. So here I was clad in an Armani.

Her brown orbs checking me out was the best thing that happened today I guess cause it pulled my lips to turn upwards.

But my gaze lended on the book she was holding, and I couldn't resist but ask for it cause this was the sole reason for my trip to the bookstore today.

But she amused me by shaking her head in a no. Gosh she can be the death of me but right now the book was more important.

I tried to be as gentle as I possibly can by saying “ Please madam, if you don't mind let me have this one , it's the last copy and I really want it”.

She didn't budged from her decision. Well I can't do much but she later on amused me further by saying “You can have it once I'm done, it wouldn't take more than a night for me to finish”.

Indeed a book worm. As I prefer buying books myself I was hesitant at first but there was an erge to meet her again. I'm not able to pinpoint what it was. But she did had something to her that made me want to linger. And I agreed.

she told me to meet again tomorrow around this time and she will get this to me. One day wouldn't be that hard right?. With that I bought an another book but It was not the same as the other.

So we went up and bought our books and parted ways. She definitely had something over me cause even a mere “See you soon” did something to me…..

As I walked into my mansion I was quickly embraced my younger siblings and they being the over dramatic ones .

I touched feets of the elder ones and papa embraced me further and patted my shoulder saying “that's my son, couldn't have made me more proud” and everyone agreed in unison.

I was reserved with the other world but this was my serenity. This is where my heart lies within the confides of my family members. We celebrated for a while and then I excused myself, leaving for my room .

I took a quick shower and hopped onto my arm chair and put on my specs and started reading and didn't realised when the thoughts of a certain someone from the bookstore today took over my thoughts and I drifted off to sleep with it.
