Our Burning Desire

Chapter 16

[EKNOOR TO ADHEER IS LIKE VIRAAJ TO KARSAN 😍🥰❤️]

AUTHOR'S POV

Eknoor and Rebecca once again convinced Adheer to join them for a day out. Ever since their last trip, they had made it a daily ritual. Rebecca and Eknoor had quickly become good friends, while Adheer saw Rebecca as a little sister.

As they strolled through the vibrant farm, Rebecca pointed out different flowers, her excitement infectious.

"Didi, did you know this place belongs to our orphanage's owner? She's so kind!"

Adheer walked behind them, his gaze lingering on Eknoor. Memories of their earlier moments together flashed in his mind, causing him to quickly avert his eyes.

"Marja kamine!!" He mumbled to himself cursing for thinking like that.

Suddenly, Eknoor dragged his hand and moved under the shadow of a tree. He takes his hand back while she smiles sweetly at him.

"Even that sun is burning cause your charm, Mahiya."

Adheer rolls his eyes at her cheesy line and ignores her, looking at the surroundings.

"Sun badlo mai chupa hua Hai didi",

Rebecca whispered to her. Eknoor curses herself for second-hand embarrassment.

"Haa to wahi na... sun iinki handsomeness se iitna jal gaya ki ussko badlo ne chupa diya. Varna Manav jaati ka Vinaas ho jata."

She justifies herself as if she were a professor.

"Nice cover up but bhaiya ko fark nahi pada"

"That 'cause he doesn't have a brain. Leave him to let's go there"

Eknoor Said and walked along with Rebecca towards the group of kids playing 'gilli danda'.

As they joined the group, Adheer watched them, particularly Eknoor. Her laughter filled the air, making the moment feel light and carefree. He admired her effortlessly stylish outfit-her tee shirt and dhoti complemented by oxidized earrings, a nose ring and her French braids swaying with every move.

Adheer was staring at them or, say, specifically,y Eknoor. Her giggles echoed the atmosphere, making it smooth for Adheer.

Every single detail of her is stealing Adheer's attention. He can't help but glance at her from time to time. His staring was disturbed when Rebecca ran towards him

"Bhaiya, aap bhi Chale khelne"

"No, I'm fine you guys play" He denied

"But--

"Leave him Rebecca, unhe nahi aata khel ne"

Adheer rolled his eyes at Eknoor's comment.

"Why do you always have to middle other's conversation?"

"Conversation?!!!... Conversation and you both don't fit in a single line"

She rolled her eyes at him who glared at him for disrespecting him in front of a little girl.

"Also I know you don't know how to play. So why waste time"

Adheer stood up, taking a stick from her hand and signing her to see him. Keeping the 'Gilli' on the ground, he put a stick near it.

Bending down a little, he moved his eyelashes upwards, gazing into Eknoor's eyes straight, whose heart started running at the intensity of his stare.

Adheer hit the back of the stick, and 'Gilli' flew at a long distance. With a proud face, he smirks at Eknoor who finds him the hottest person
