Us: Together Forever

18. The Face

Abhimaan's POV

I guess, this is how love sick men behave. Forgetting everything about the world and just focussing on only one person, the likings of that person, the dislikes of that person, as if our whole life rotates around that one person.

Seeing Atharv getting so hyped up about the decorations of his pre wedding party, and whether his fiance would like it or not, proves that the boy is smitten in love. The girl must be lucky to get him as her life partner.

And trust me when I say this, That feeling of having someone for ourselves is the best feeling in the world.

Yes, even I was fortunate enough to get that feeling maybe for less time, but that feeling was surreal.

"Woh log aa gaye" Atharv's excited voice broke my trance.

I was busy reading the business magazine placed on the table. Currently we all were seated in the breakfast hall waiting for Atharv's would be and her friends to arrive. Keeping the magazine on the table, I got up and was the last one to follow the group in order to welcome the guests

Atharv went forward and hugged his fiance tightly. From the back, I could only see the hands of the woman.

One by one, he introduced all of them to his cousins, but suddenly the atmosphere there felt heavy, as if something grave happened. Why? Because, my ever cheerful sister Vaani, who was indeed the most excited one fell silent. Even the jumping Kunal was glued to his place and Aditya, he just looked towards my side, his forehead lined with tension.

What is happening?

Suddenly Atharv said,

"Baby, come let me introduce you to my best friend"

As soon as he uttered those words, Pradip and Piyush, who were both standing in front of me, moved away making me face the person, and I was frozen at my place.

It was Priya!

Priya Singh!

Ruhanika's best friend!

Means she knew where my Ruh was now!

I slowly took my steps towards them, my heart tightening with every step taken ahead, with the thought that I might finally find her.

"Abhi, this is Priya, Priya Singh, my love, my girlfriend, my Fiance" Atharv said indicating me.

"And Baby, this is The Abhimaan Singh Rajvansh, the mighty Rana sa, my only bua's son, my cousin, my best friend, my brother" Atharv introduced me. Priya just nodded with a tight smile.

I understood from her gesture that she was trying to hide the tension.

"Also, Abhi, they are her colleagues, This is Ridhima, Her husband Naitik and their daughter Samaira" Naitik came forward and shook hands with me. I returned the gesture.

"This is Neha and Her boyfriend Rishi, this is Arpita"

He was again about to say something when a little boy, came running towards Atharv.

"Atharv uncle" The boy came and hugged the kneeled down Atharv

"Champ" Atharv hugged the boy back.

"Apke mumma kaha hai?" He asked

The boy shrugged answering

"Pri maasi ko pata hai! Mumma kahi gayi hai, bola ki Lunch tak aa jayegi" The little boy said.

The boy had such a cute yet handsome face that I couldn't move my eyes from him. His eyes, his eyes we're the most attractive thing. Just like mine!

Hell Abhimaan! What are you thinking!
