My Favourite Unfinished

Chapter 17

December 14, 2019.

I was shit nervous when I first went to her home after her dad came but surprisingly.... He wasn't scary at all!

I mean, if you do something wrong maybe you will see his 'strict' side but rather than that, he was pretty chill.

So, I felt kinda bad for wishing him not to come here.

When I first met him, I touched his feet and said 'Namaste'.
And my first meeting with him was so much better than I expected.

He asked about my studies, what I am going to do and that Aadhvita has been a stubborn child since forever.

He shared a lot of stories of her and her mother, I mean his wife too.
How they used to sneak in into the kitchen in the middle of the night to grab a snack even though he told them a million times that it's unhealthy.
And how they used to dance and run in the beach, playing with the water and dragging him along.

He had that calm reassuring voice, deep tone.
I was smiling like an idiot when he was narrating those incidents.

Oh...
Aarnav Sahani, that's his name.

But Aadhvita told me not to get fooled by his calm demeanor because he can be ruthless when he finds something out of order. Here, that was our relationship which is a secret for now.

And per se, I made a good impression.
We studied.
And of course, not 'just' studied, we did other things too because well, doors were closed so why not?

And of course, the stay was longer than we anticipated.
Maybe he wanted to check on her? How she is doing and all.

I got ready for a movie night and went to her place.

I rang the doorbell, waiting for her to open the door.
Uncle opened it instead.

"Uncle! Hello!", I said grinning.

"Hello beta, come in come in!"

I removed my shoes and sat on couch.

"She is getting ready", he said typing on his laptop.

"I see..."

"Which movie are you watching?"

"Jumanji"

"Ahh that..."

"Mhmm"

"How was your day uncle?"

"It was good", he nodded, "how was yours?"

"Yeah pretty much normal"

He smiled, "Good..."

She came out in a casual hoodie and denims.

"Done! Let's go!"

"Take care and be home before 9 alright? Amiya please drop her okay?", he said looking at us.

"Of course uncle"

"You also reach and message her okay?"

"Yes uncle"

"Bye papa!", she waved and then we left.

I exhaled and we held hands, "Ahh... Feels good..."

She chuckled, "My hands?"

"Yeah well that too, but I was talking about this cold air... And not only your hands, everything about you feels good"

"Aha... Getting cheesy, are we?"

I pouted, holding no malice, "You love cheese! So you love me being cheesy!", i grinned.

"What a logic, honestly..."
