Kartik's POV
It has already been two days, Aditi and her family left from India to London, and I am still not over the fact that I am, The Kartik Ahuja is getting engaged after two months. It is not like I am unhappy, in fact, I am totally happy, and loving this decision that a girl like Aditi is going to be my wife.

As Maa and Papa mentioned about her, even when they didn't meet her, didn't see how she was before, they were not wrong with the statement. This states that they always choose right from me and this is the right one but..... Aditi.

I am sitting at my desk in the office, staring blankly at my computer screen. The hum of office chatter and the clacking of keyboards blur into the background as I am thinking about Aditi. This girl, she is something really different. Her eyes, hair, cheeks, everything related to her is attracting me towards her.

Aditi... everything feels incomplete without you. We're getting engaged in two months, but why does it feel like I'm already missing out on knowing you ? I was writing an e-mail when I got distracted and wrote something there unknowingly......


Me- "Wait...what ? Ye Mai kya likhe Jaa Raha hu ? Is this even relevant ?"

I instantly deleted the email I just typed, shaking my head. Well.... Aditi was born in London..... But her behaviour, nahh, it doesn't seem like she is not from there, from every angle, she only shows indian culture and tradition. There’s something in her smile that pulls me in…....


Peon- "Sir.... Are you okay ? You seem a bit off today. You have been staring at that screen for ages."

Me- "Oh yeah, just ..... Lost in some thoughts, I guess. Anyways, aap kaam kariye.... Mai jara aata hu...!"

Kya yeh sirf dosti hai ?
Ya phir kuch aur ?
I hope, I get another chance to spend more time with Aditi someday. 


Worker- "Sir... You should probably take a break."

Me- "Uhh...yeah.... Well, you shouldn't tell me what to do...." I said with a stern voice.

Worker- "Sorry sir.."

Argh... What is happening to me ? Anyways.... I decided to head back to my office. I sat at my desk, staring blankly at a document, where my mind clearly was elsewhere.


Me- "Aditi.....! What have you done to me ? I wonder... What she is doing now...! It is so hard for me now......"
