Akash POV
I check on Manas sir and we just have a bit of chat
"Okay sir, I think I should go and check our clients and schedule the meetings as well..I hope you are better now"
"Yes I'm better now, u did not have to come all over here man"
"It's alright sir, it's my duty to check up on you"
"I'm really grateful to have you, you are like my bestfriend Akash..sometimes I wish u were my brother too
Because ye dono toh nikkame hai hi, needed a mature person like u in us too"
I give a slight smile and leave
I am not his biological brother, wish I become his brother in law instead
Wait Akash NO!! What are you thinking!!?!?
I hit myself (as in a slight pat on head)
Tu pagla gaya hai..also u were almost about to confess her now
I cant break Manas sir's trust
"Akash!!" She came running
And as I was just about to turn,she locked my waist in both of her hands and tightly hugged me
and put her head on my chest
At that very moment..time just stood still..I couldn't move and I did not want to
I felt valued and safe,I felt loved..the love I did not recieve from anyone before..all of it just appeared to be inside a person
She was love, she carried the love for me,and me,my heartbeat, it has never been this fast
It just felt, this was it!
But I was snapped back into reality as I imagined Manas sir's face
Megha POV
"Maybe that is what we are destined for..this might sound a bit clichè but u can always rely on me, thinking of me as a guardian angel of yours..just know I-I- I am always here for you and-" (past dialogue hai ye)
And-!? I kept thinking about that and...the phrases, all the words, each and every syllable, every letter kept repeating in my mind
Is it what I hope it is!? I don't want to be delusional but I was sure, atleast from my side I was sure that my heart led me this way
*Chota Flashback of Bali trip*
All of them had gone on dates with their respective partners..we were together and I asked him, practically begged to take me to the beach to watch the sunset.
"Come on, why u standing like a mannequin?"
"Mam u can go I will stand he-"
I did not let him speak and grabbed him and ran along with him, in that sand..towards the water
We both slipped as we were just about to reach the shore and started laughing
"Dekho..u look so good when u smile"
And he just kept smiling..looking at me, with those puppy eyes
and I was losing my mind over how could anyone just melt my heart simply with a smile
I wanted to treasure his very rare smile and keep it with me forever
I soon snap outta my thoughts and splash water on him
He does the same and I run,he chased me and threw more water on me
And we were having the best times of our life, laughing more than we ever did
*Flashback end*
I keep replaying this moment and maybe that's when I fell for him...I run around, looking for him and as I see him, I run and hug him tightly, unwilling to let go
"Megha I-"
"No don't say a word
I know you know what's going on..Akash I really like u yaar! Every day and night you are on my mind, I think of u as I sleep, as I wake up and no one ever made me this restless before and it's not ur fault, u are such a sweetheart and anyone could melt just by the sight of you"
"Megha but-but u are Manas sir's sister"
"So? Manas sir's sister is not a human or what!?"
He gently pulls away
"How dare you"
I was stunned, it was totally unexpected to see him say that..I think my heart just shattered into pieces
I just turn to walk away when
"How dare you confess first..I mean I did not get the opportunity to say and u did it already"
I look at him with tears in my eyes and laugh
"So now, won't you complete what u were about to say I was too eager to hear i-"
"I love you..and always will"
That's it..those three words were all it took me to fall head over heels over this guy again
He opens up his arms (srk style)
And we stay for long in each other's embrace.. without any worries
But still- what will Manas dada think of us!?
Woh badmein dekh lenge..for now, I have him officially mine..that's what matters more now.
