The Storms Inside Us

Chapter 8: Oops!

Mihika's POV

I came out from the airport and went to exactly where Nikki told me to be at. I didn't sleep from yesterday and it's 8 am in the morning. And I'm standing checking my mobile. Till now I got plenty of calls in my old number so I'm using my secondery number. I called Nikita to ask about what to do but she didn't pick up.. I called in the number she gave me and it kept ringing but nobody picked up. Just then a bike stopped in front of me and there was a man sitting on it.

He took off his helmet slowly and my heartbeat almost dropped.

It was the same Amber eyes, same divine eyelashes, same broad shoulder, same hands, same face, same human.

"Vihaan!" I spoke in a low voice.

It was cold there. But I didn't see he was wearing any warm things. Does he not feel cold? I walked towards him and asked.

"So this is where you intended as heaven?"

He hummed. "Shirin aunty asked me to pick you up. Get up." He kind of ordered.

We both were silent. The roads were spiral and I was enjoying the ride. We passed through the forests, few lakes, and I was feeling more cold as we were going more higher altitude. I was enjoying the ride and then just noticed the looking glass. He was looking at me through the looking glass.

We reached the destination and an old lady welcomed us.

"You must be Mihika... Nikki beta told me about you." Shirin aunty came towards me and cupped my cheek.

I was tired from the journey and replied,"Yes, and you must be Shirin aunty. Thanks for having me."

"Don't worry about anything. Feel yourself at home. If you need anything just tell me and Vihaan will guide you to your room." He pointed at him. Our eyes met and I felt a swirl inside my stomach.

I followed him till we reached my room. It was a normal room but it's well maintained. It was a wooden house. He didn't speak with me after reaching here. He put the water jug in the bed side table and was going to leave and I called him.

"Thodi der reh jao na yahan..."

He stopped with a flinch in his body. He slowly walked towards me and sat beside me in the bed. We had 2 hands distance between us. I was looking down at my feet and he was fidgeting with his fingers... This time he broke the silence,
"How have you been?" He asked

"I myself don't know Vihaan." . He closed his eyes when I spoke his name. But seeing him, sitting beside him, I'm feeling so much homely feeling, which I never got from my own house.

My eyes get blurred as I felt tears in my eyes. One drop fell on my hand I felt Vihaan cupped my cheeks.

"Hey hey! Don't cry sunshine. I'm here for you. Well I don't know what happened to you but honestly . You look miserable. We will surely talk about it after dinner today."

I nodded.

His touch felt so calm.

Vihaan's POV

It was 9:30 at night when we had dinner together. Shirin aunty invited me to have dinner with her and Mihika. We all ate and talked about ourselves. Aunty doesn't know that I know Mihika, and neither of us disclosed it to her.

After dinner I went to the balcony for some smoke. I was shocked when I saw her at the airport. My heart almost stopped. It's her! Yes she's in front of me. But she looked so different. That same angelic eyes were puffy, her curls were messy, her skin were looking pale. Something is definately wrong with her.
