unexpected love

PEACE

IN THE MORNING:-

"The next day began with a new light as peace returned to the Bisht mansion. Darsh had already left for work, leaving Satakshi to enjoy a quiet morning in the living room. She was comfortably settled on the couch, flipping through a magazine, when Abhi came running in, excitement written all over his face."

Abhi's voice was breathless: Bhabhi, suno! Bhabhi, suno! Aapko kuch batana hai!

"Satakshi looked up, smiling at his enthusiasm"

Satakshi: Arre, araam se, pehle saans toh le lo.

 Abhi exclaimed, his words tumbling out in a rush: Saans lene ka hi toh time nahi hai, Bhabhi!

Satakshi laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement: Kyu, kya hua? Itni kya jldi h?

"Abhi plopped down next to her, barely able to contain his excitement."

Abhi: Bhabhi, aapko Divita yaad h?

Satakshi's brow furrowed slightly as she tried to recall the name: Umm... Divita... Divita... Accha, vo teri crush?

Abhi nodded eagerly: Hn, Bhabhi! Vhi.

Satakshi asked, curious: Hn, yaad h. Kya hua use? 

Abhi leaned in, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret: Bhabhi, humne na apne seniors ko farewell deni h, toh usme ladkiyon ko saree pehnni h. Divita ki na mummy nhi h aur unke ghr m koi female hi nhi h, aur vo bahut hi introvert h. Use kisi se help maangne mein bhi sharam aati h, toh maine usse bola ki meri Bhabhi help kar degi.

Satakshi's eyes widened in surprise: Ek minute, ek minute... Pehle tu ye bata ki tumhari baat kse hui? I mean, jab tune mujhe last time btaya tha toh tum dono ki tb baat toh nhi hoti thi. Fir...

Abhi blushed slightly, rubbing the back of his neck: Vo na... vo jo dance hua tha yaad hai aapko?

Satakshi nodded, remembering the event: hn, hn.

 Abhi began, his voice turning soft with the memory: Toh ek din na, m rooftop pe chla gya college ki building ke, kyuki m use kisi aur ldke ke saath nhi dekh skta tha aur use rok bhi nhi skta tha. Isliye m upar chla gya. Aur jsi m upr gya, maine dekha ki Divita apni book lekr upr baithi thi. Pehle m toh use dekhta rha, pr fr himmat krke uske paas jaakar baith gya. Fr maine usse bola, 'Aaj practice nhi kr rhi dance ki?' Toh usne bola ki vo nhi part le rhi dance m, kyuki usse steps shi se nhi ho rhe h aur usne kbhi ese crowd ke saamne dance nhi kiya h.

"Satakshi listened intently, a warm smile on her face as Abhi continued."

Abhi finished, his voice full of pride and a hint of affection: Toh ese kr ke hmari baat start hui. Maine usse apne experience share kiye, fir hum dono ese hi close ho gye. Aur ab hum dono roz lunch break m rooftop pe aate h, aur saath baithkr lunch krte h aur baatein krte h. Ab vo hmara secret spot h.

Satakshi shook her head, half in disbelief and half in amusement: Itna kuch ho gya aur tune mujhe btaya bhi nhi?

Abhi looked down sheepishly: Aap aur Bhaiya mujhe kuch btate nhi ho, iska mtlab ye nhi ki mujhe kuch pta nhi h. Mujhe pta h kuch dino se aapke aur Bhaiya ke beech m kuch shi nhi chl rha tha, Misti ki wajah se. Aap wse hi itna pareshaan rehte ho, m apni kahaniyo se aapko aur pareshaan nhi krna chahta tha.

"Satakshi's heart swelled with affection for abhi. She reached out and ruffled his hair gently." 

Satakshi: Oho, hmara Abhi itna bda ho gya h! Kya baat. Aur wse, tere Bhaiya aur m chaahe kitne bhi pareshaan kyu na ho, tu hmesha hme apni baate bta skta h.
