Tales of the Heart

chapter 27

" Bhai, movie dekhni thi, bnaani nahi thi raaste me..." When Ansh reaches there with Advaita half an hour after the movie starts, Aarav teases Ansh for coming late by saying this to which Ansh glares at him.

But there...the red color of that moment is still visible on Advaita's face, which was no less than a surprise for her, She is still engrossed in that moment unable to believe that this actually happened between them, and it was Ansh who took the initiative.
And thinking all this again and again her shyness is increasing and this red color spread on her face is enhancing the glow of her face, showing her happiness and shyness together.

" Where were you both? You both left before us to come here ?" Aarav asks further to which Ansh looks at Advaita who is looking everywhere except him.

" We were stuck in traffic." he says, but he knows he made a terrible excuse

" Bhai, We also came from the same route, we did not find any traffic ?" Aarav says to which Ansh glares at him over his investigation.

" Ab aa gye na, andar chalo ab." Ansh ignores Aarav's question and says, but just as everyone was about to go inside, Ansh notices Aaira who looks a little sad.

" Are you okay ?" Ansh asks Aaira, coming close to her from behind and walking with her as he notice she was alone

The reason for her being alone is only that Reyansh cannot stay with her despite wanting to, so on the other side Aadhriti Advaita are going inside talking to each other and Aarav Arjun and Reyansh too.

" Yes bhai, I am fine." Aaira says with smile but maybe she also knows that she is lying, She is not fine and she doesn't understand the reason...today suddenly she is feeling lonely among her loved ones.

Well, she is not used to being alone like this, she has never felt lonely because everyone gives her not just attention but over attention and maybe because of this, if no one else, even her brothers are not talking to her and busy with their girls, it is making her feel a little bad.

Well she can understand Ansh that he is meeting Advaita after a long time so he is busy with her but Aarav, he meets Aadhriti everyday but even when, right now when everyone together, Aarav behaves as if no one else exists except Aadhriti when he's with her.

And it's okay, she doesn't have any problem if Aarav too stays busy with his girlfriend but here the problem is that she is not used to living like this, she needs someone with her who talk to her but today no one is talking to her and the one person who is ready to talk to her cannot even talk to her because of the fear of her brother.

But again there, Seeing Aaira so sad and lost, Ansh thinks something else

" Is Reyansh's presence bothering you?" Ansh asks her further to which Aaira looks at Reyansh who is walking ahead of her with everyone else

" Today only his presence is giving me comfort." Aaira thinks looking at Reyansh's back because he is the only one who is taking care of her comfort in every way today when her brother is busy taking care of his girlfriend.

And seeing Reyansh she herself doesn't know what is happening to her but she also knows that whatever is happening, she has to control herself this time; she cannot get her heart broken again.

" There is nothing like that bhai, I am not affected by his presence at all now." Aaira lies to which Ansh smiles.

" That's my strong Aaira, by the way now let's go quickly otherwise we will miss the rest of the movie." Ansh says and they all enter the hall where it is already dark as the movie starts.

Everyone takes their seats and their seating arrangement is such that from the right, first is Ansh, then next to him is Advaita, Next to Advaita is Aaira, next to Aaira is Aadhriti, next to Aadhriti is Aarav, next to Aarav is Reyansh and next to Reyansh is Arjun.
