MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU

Already Engaged?

While in her room, Meera found herself lost in thoughts of Kabir. Her cheeks lit up with a rosy smile as she recalled his adorable face and kind gestures. She picked up her phone and started browsing through the photos her friends had taken at the bakery café. Each picture brought a smile to her face, but one in particular caught her eye.

It was a group photo with Kabir. Enlarging the image, Meera noticed how charming he looked in his tuxedo, standing amidst her friends. His enchanting grin and the thoughtful gift he had given her lingered in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a warm flutter in her chest.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with several new messages. Opening them, she found her girlfriends raving about the adorable bakery café owner in their WhatsApp group.

"Look at him, how cute he is," read Riya's message.

"Yep, wish I could have him instead of the cake," Tanuja wrote, making Meera's eyes widen.

"He is so handsome," chimed in another friend. Meera's heart sank a little. She didn't like the idea of her friends fawning over Kabir, so she muted the group chat and closed it to avoid any more notifications.

Turning her attention back to the photo of Kabir, she felt a silly grin spreading across her face. His image seemed to hold her captive, and she couldn't help but admire his features.

"Ahem!" a voice suddenly broke her reverie. Meera's younger sister, Navya, stood behind her with a teasing smirk.

"Meera di, why are you blushing so much?" Navya asked, clearly enjoying the moment.

"Chhotaa," Meera glared at her, trying to mask her embarrassment.

Navya, quick as ever, snatched Meera's phone. "Chhotaa, you're going to get in trouble, give me my phone back," Meera demanded.

"No, no, no, you're not getting it back yet. I want to see who has brought such a sweet smile to my lovely sister's face," Navya teased, her curiosity piqued. As she scrolled through the images, she saw the photos from Tanuja's birthday. Just as she was about to reach Kabir's picture, Meera snatched her phone back.

"Enough, you've seen the photos now. You always tease me, Chhotaa," Meera complained cutely, her voice tinged with playful annoyance.

"Aww, my sweet sister," Navya said, pulling Meera's cheeks and planting a kiss on one.

"Chachi is calling us for dinner. Come quickly," Navya added, and Meera nodded in reply.

As Navya left the room, Meera couldn't help but grin and steal another glance at the photo of Kabir. She found it impossible to contain her adoration for him. He was so adorable, and the memory of their encounter at the café replayed in her mind like a cherished movie scene.

With a sigh of contentment, Meera finally tore her eyes away from the phone and made her way downstairs for dinner, her heart still fluttering with the newfound feelings that Kabir had stirred within her.

The next morning, Meera was in the kitchen helping her mother with breakfast. She carefully packed Navya's lunch and placed it on the dining table, calling out, "Chhotaa, your lunch is on the table."

Navya came down the stairs, tying her braid, and Arjun followed closely behind her. He tapped her shoulder, holding out her school bag.

"Who's going to carry this bag?" he said, handing it to her with a smirk. Navya glared at him, clearly annoyed.

"Why are you glaring? Does she need ten servants? One to carry her bag, another to hand her lunch," Arjun teased, his tone dripping with mock annoyance.

"Chachi!" Navya almost shouted, hoping for some support.

"Chachi's pet," Arjun teased further, chuckling.
