─ Relight Love

Nandini's Pov :

" when someone else's happiness
is your happiness, that's love. "

I sat on the front seat, put on my seatbelt, and just laid back closing my eyes wishing to sleep but my hurting head just made it almost next to impossible. I saw outside the window and wondered how much Delhi had changed, Delhi has always been special to me. It gave me my college, my first love, my many firsts. It was a bittersweet place for me to visit and all I had to did these years is avoid this place. I have never for once visited this place in the past 5 years. 

I was grateful he didn't start any conversation, thank god he showed mercy on my already dug-up mind and heart. I had expected to see him around but I fucking didn't want to meet him when I am wasted and I know I have been an embarrassing drinker forever. The ones who blabber their life updates like a song when they are wasted. That's exactly what I am and I hate it. That's why I often deny drinking at parties but the last emotional rollercoaster I suffered made me drink like shit.

I was overthinking my ass off when I registered that I did not informed Pallavi that I have reached Delhi, How stupid Singhal. I shuffled through my bag in search of my phone when he passed me the phone that was kept in the front with his phone, I gave him a sarcastic smile and he returned with a smirk, smirk chipka liya ha kya isne apne muh par. I ignored his existence and talked to Pallavi who appreciated my actions with outshining words like bkl-, bewkoof-, etc. Women proved that she is my Bestfriend.

" As much as I want to talk about us and talk about life with you, I know it's not the right thing to do when you are under a very bad hangover so after the college reunion, What about Dinner?" He asked me.

" I have my flight in 2 hours after the college reunion so I need to be back in the hotel early and have to change my outfit before leaving so I don't think it is really possible for us to go on dinner " I said neither denying nor agreeing, because I was confused too. I don't really know what was right. 

" Ah I see, Miss is pretty busy. " He clearly mocked me here. Where is the sweetu Aryamann? this one is being too cocky. Success sar chadri h bande ke.

" She is, ultimately as she have to work 24*7 and not Whenever she likes it. " I mocked him back. Take it Mr. Mehta.

" I see " he exclaimed while smiling , I made a funny face to which he smiled harder. Ah how can people smile so much in morning. It's funny how I am watching the morning sun after such a long time. Insomnia needs to be blamed.

" Have these medicines in the room and make sure to have a shower. You stink of vodka " He said that offended me so much that I pinched his waist hard and he yelped. Deserved I say.

" Behave Ms. Singhal I can do worse " He said as he parked the car in the front of the gate.

" You wish. " I said as I picked my Vodka stinking lehenga watching it was breaking my heart.

As I stepped out of the car, he motioned asking me to take a bath and I rolled my eyes going inside. As I saw him leaving a smile covered my face but I quickly brushed it off cursing my heart to melt so easily. All the walls I build in all these years, I could feel them breaking and it gripped my fears but I decided to be calm and face what god have for me in store. 

After a long shower, good margarita pizza and a long 12 hour sleep. I woke up the next day to incredible mood which was very unlike my personality. As i need at least 2 hours to get over my morning mood.
