Ink Of Fate

28. Love

Here Isha and Shivanya came in the hall, Shivanya gave the parcel to her.

Isha unboxed the parcel and after seeing the thing inside it, She jumped at her place. While Shivanya frowned at her reaction. Shivanya asked " What happened, Isha?? Why are you jumping??"

" Bhabhi, chocolates!!" Isha exclaimed with joy and showed Shivanya the box full of chocolates..

" Who sent this???" Shivanya asked with a small smile.

"Let me see.. There is a note" Isha said. She took the note from the box and kept the box at the table. The note read - " Sweet chocolates for my Sweet Darling" at the end of the sentence there was a heart. Isha blushed after reading the note and got lost in her dreamy world.

" What is it? Who has sent it?" Shivanya's voice brought her out of her thoughts.

Seeing Shivanya looking at her, She got nervous and kept that note in her pocket and said "Um...Ah.. Byee" Saying that Isha ran towards her room..

"Why is She behaving strangely ?" Shivanya thought to herself and made her way towards the garden..

Isha came to her room and locked it. She kept the box on the bed and dialed a number.

After a couple of rings, the person received the call and asked " Yes?"

"Love you" Isha said with a huge grin .

"Love you too, Minty" Said the person from the other end, with a soft chuckle.

"Aryan, how do you know that I wanted chocolates??" Isha asked, unwrapping a chocolate from the box.

"Just got that feeling" Aryan replied, while reading a report.

"You know, you are the second best" Isha remarked .

"And whose the first best?" He asked, frowning.

"My Bhaiya... Always!" She exclaimed .

"I knew it.. By the way, thanks for saving me the other day from your bhaiya and that jerk Aayush.. I almost got caught" He said with a sigh.

"Don't you think you owe me a date?" She asked with a mischievous grin.

" Of course.. Let's go on weekend" He said with a small chuckle.

"Um..I'll think about it "She said dramatically, but only to get frown after hearing from the other end, "What  are you doing here??" Said Aryan nervously, standing from his place.

"Hello?? Aryan, are you there?" Isha asked, after getting silence from his side.

"Hello! Shivansh here, Bhabhi ji" Shivansh yelled from the other end, while Aryan's mobile was in Aryan's hand, that's why Shivansh didn't saw her name.

"Bhabhi ji??? What is bhaiya doing there??ohh godd!!" Thinking this Isha hung up the call.

"Ah..Ab..What are you doing here??" Aryan asked, putting his mobile in his pant's pocket.

"Where are you going on weekend ??"Shivansh asked with a smirk.

"That's none of your business...By the way, what brought you here??" Aryan asked, changing the topic..

"Yeah! This paper.." Shivansh said, taking out that paper..

"What?"

Shivansh sat across Aryan and extended that  blank paper with watermark 'AC' and said, " This watermark is similar with those letters. Now I strongly suspect Aayush"

Aryan scrutinized both the papers, the blank one and the letter and said gritting his teeth, "Let's go and kill that Aayush Jerk"

"Relax.. We can't just  kill him.. We need strong proofs against him...Although he is our bsf but -" Shivansh got interrupted by Aryan " But what, Shivansh?? you know last year when I received that letter.. The whole day I was worried about choti.. When I went home, I directly ran to Choti, to check if she is okay or not? That whole night, I went to Choti's room for n number of times, only to assure myself that she is safe.. Since she was of one year, I have raised her as my own child. No one comes before her for me. I have promised Chaitra aunty that I will always keep her safe, happy and will take care of her till she becomes an adult.. But after she became adult, my habit of taking care of her, keeping her happy and fulfilling her every wish  didn't left me. Till today I care for her as if she is the same one year old Shivanya who lost her mother..I can't just let anything happen to her..." Till now Aryan had tears in his eyes.
