Whispers Of My Heart

Chapter 18

Mahima's POV  :

As we got into the car, I look myself in the mirror.

Dress : All good

Makeup : Needs a raise

Hair : Very bad condition

As he drove the car, I did a touch up for my face and brushed my hair, which did the job, I smoothened my dress, just in case.

Wait.....I thought everything about looking good, but what about conversation ?

"Vikram....." I whine.

"Your eyeliner is perfect, lipstick is definitely your shade, blush on point."

"That is the problem..." I whine more.

"That's a problem...? " He asked, shocked.

"I thought everything about my appearance. But what about conversation? It's been so many days since I've been to any family function. I don't even remember how to greet elders. What should I do-"

"Ssshhhh.....let me tell you something." He cut me off.

"It's fine. You definitely don't need to be formal with her. Mahi, I know her. She's been waiting for you to meet her. She's more open minded than me. I promise. I think she loves you already. Now tell me, Will I be this cool when the girl of my dreams is going to meet my mom ?
I am so confident about us. Now be calm and especially be YOU. No need to pretend anything. Got it ?" He interwined our fingers and kissed my knuckles.

I take some time to calm process everything he said.

"You're right." I declare finally relaxing.

He chuckled in response.

We entered his mansion looking house, holding hands confidently.

As we got inside, he called his mom.
"Mumma....Mahima is here."

A lady in casual cotton saree comes down from the stairs.

When she comes down, I study her face....my eyes widen and i go to hug her.

The aunty with whom I vibed in Mihir Sir and Aadhya's wedding....!!!!

She also hugs me back...."Kaise hai aap...." I almost jump.

"I am fine....and kaisa tha mera surprise..? " She points at Vikram.

Vikram and her have many common features. I am an idiot. I didn't realise  that soon.

"I can't tell you in words.....Best son of the bestest mother..." I say.

I look at Vikram and give him a full blown smile.

Wait...why is he not surprised that I know his mom...?

"Why are you not surprised...?" I ask him.

"Well....I know that you both know each other."

I try to act calm.
"What do you mean..."

"I'll tell you...calm down.." he replies and begins.

In 10 mins, he told me everything....from seeing me at Mihir sir's wedding to...now....how his mom knew me all the way.... everything....

I was shocked for a moment.....

Usha aunty came and sat beside me "I know it's shocking to believe Mahi....but I promise that you are absolutely in safe hands. "

"I'm feeling so stalked...." I muttered slowly.

Vikram sat beside me....I looked at him.

"Trust me...." He held my hand, locking our fingers.
