Love Unreachable

Chapter - 10

Ashika's POV

It had almost been 2 hours since I gave my number. I was expecting a call from 'Him', but nothing.

I was scared to see whether he had replied or not. 

I was half working and half thinking about all the possibilities from now on between me and 'Him'. Did I do the right thing? I asked myself multiple times.

I was done with waiting and was about to check my Instagram when I got a call. I jumped upon hearing the ringtone. I thought it was 'Him' but my guess was wrong. It was Appu. I picked up the call immediately.

'Are you planning on coming for lunch my dear best friend' asked Appu in a sarcastic tone over the call.

'Oh, ya sure Appu will come over, had a bit of office work and forgot to see the time, sorry' I lied to her.

'Ok then, I'll wait until you come over, let's have lunch together' Appu replied and disconnected the call. I let out a sigh of relief.

I saw the time and it was almost 1 pm. I was debating on whether to log in to Instagram and see what his reply was or let it be but finally, I decided not to log in as I had to go to  Appu's house. 

I was going to take a bath and get ready when I got a call. I saw my phone to see who was calling, it was from an unknown number.

My heartbeat rose and my mind became blank. I stood staring at the phone and the number. Millions of thoughts in my head about who it might be. It may be some junk call too. Pushing my thoughts away I was about to pick up the call but missed it. I did not know what to do.

I wanted to call back on the same number but before that, I had to check who the caller was so I was installing the true caller app when I got a call from the same number again.

I was about to pick up the call and by then the doorbell rang. As it was an unknown I ignored the call, I kept my phone on silent and went to attend the doorbell. As soon as I opened the door I saw Kishan turning towards the garden, his back facing me. He looking at something in his hand, I guess his phone.

To get his attention I cleared my throat, to which he turned and gave a big heart-melting smile. I smiled back greeting him a Good morning.

'Hi Ashika, Good morning. By the way, your looking beautiful' Kishan said with a twinkle in his eyes.

'Oh thank you, Kishan. Come in, we can have tea together?' I said slightly blushing

'Oh no it's ok, I can ask if you have some tool kit. I had to repair some things in my house. People living in it before have spoilt so many things' Kishan said with a disgusting face.

'Oh I see, it happens Kishan, can't help it. Also, I have to check in the store room, Please come in until I check' I said.

Kishan nodded and came in, while passing by his aftershave hit my nose and it was amazing. I always had a weak spot for aftershave.

I retook a deep breath, and it smelt like heaven. Smiling sheepishly I closed the door behind me and followed Kishan inside the house. I asked him to sit on the sofa. For God's sake, the house was clean. I mentally thanked Appu for it as she had woken up early and had cleaned the house as I was not in the mood for it. 

' Will you have tea or coffee?' I asked Kishan

' I just need to tool kit mam' Kishan said in a flirty tone. My mind went blank hearing him flirt with me.

' Hehehe, Surely. As it is your first time coming to my house I cannot send you anything without serving you. As you did not answer I'll conclude you will have tea and prepare some' I replied sarcastically.
