✨ 30. yuvaan's secret ✨

Hmm.. Ke Rabba Janda Rabba Janda
Tainu Kitni Mohabbata Dil Karda
Ke Rabba Janda Rabba Janda
Tainu Kitni Mohabbata Dil Karda
Haan Tere Baajon Jee Nahi Lagda
Rog Yeh Laga Ishaq Da
Har Dua Mein Tainu Mangda
Ke Rabba Janda Rabba Janda
Tainu Kitni Mohabbata Dil Karda

His room was filled with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating dust particles dancing in the air. She sat cross-legged on his bed, a steaming mug in her hands, as he perched beside her, his laptop resting on his knees.

Yuvaan : Look at this one.

He chuckled, pointing to a photo of himself as a chubby-cheeked toddler, covered head-to-toe in mud.

She burst into laughter, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

Advika : Oh my god, yuvaan seriously...

Yuvaan : haso mat tum, tumne insist kiya isiliye dikha raha hu warna main yeh kisi ko nahi dikhata.

Advika : cute lag rahe ho lekin.

He smiled.

They spent the next hour lost in the digital scrapbook of his life. There were pictures of him awkwardly posing with his parents, images of his travels, exploring ancient ruins and bustling cityscapes, and snapshots of him with his friends, their faces beaming with youthful exuberance.

She learned about his childhood escapades, his dreams of becoming an architect, and his embarrassing first crush. With each photo, she felt like she was peeling back another layer of him, getting closer to the person he truly was.

Advika : ek baat puchu?

He nodded.

Advika : tum sports mein itne acche ho, toh phir architect hi kyu?

Yuvaan : kyuki uss zindagi ko maine bohot pass se dekha hai jaha harr insaan ka sapna hota hai ghar, main kuch aisa karna chahta hu ki koi bhi aam insaan ko ghar lene se pehle sochna na pade, and top of that I love to design, aur rahi baat sports ki toh woh meri hobbies hai, dil se khelta hu.

She smiled.

As he scrolled through the folder, he suddenly stopped, his fingers hovering over the touchpad.

He clicked on a folder, but immediately closed it, a strange look crossing his face.

Advika : Kya hua? Bandh kyu kar diya?

She asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

His face flushed slightly.

Yuvaan : N. . nothing. Kuch nahi hai usme.

he stammered, avoiding her gaze.

Her curiosity was piqued.

Advika : Why you suddenly got nervous?

she asked, her voice laced with concern.

He shifted uncomfortably.

Yuvaan : Nothing, koi aur baat karte hai na.

he said, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

But she wasn't letting it go that easily. She had known him for over a time now, and she could usually read him like an open book. But this was different. He was hiding something, and she wanted to know what it was.

Advika : What happened, Yuvaan?

she asked again, her voice soft but firm, making him sigh.

He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes filled with a mix of apprehension and vulnerability.

He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He took a deep breath and finally confessed,

Yuvaan : Advika...isme tumhare photos hai..!!!!

Her eyes got wide.

Advika : me..mere pictures...??

He hesitated for a moment, gathering his thoughts

Yuvaan : maine liye the.

Advika : k..kab aur kaha?

He explained that he had been taking pictures of her for 3 years, capturing candid moments when she wasn't aware.

Yuvaan : I know yeh sab bohot creepy hai, sorry maine tumhe uncomfortable kar diya ho toh, I am sorry.

She was silent for a moment, trying to process what he had just told her. She was surprised, yes, but also strangely touched.

She knew Yuvaan was a bit of an introvert, someone who expressed his feelings through actions rather than words.

Advika : main dekh sakti hu woh photos.

He looked up, his eyes filled with hope. He slowly opened the folder, revealing a collection of photos that showcased her in all her natural beauty.

There were no posed shots, no forced smiles, just genuine moments of her being herself.

As she scrolled through the pictures, she couldn't help but smile. She saw herself in a new light, through Yuvaan's eyes.

She saw the joy, the passion, and the vulnerability that he had captured so effortlessly.

Advika : it's beautiful..!!!! Thank you yuvaan, bohot acche pictures hai, main khud kabhi apne itne acche pictures nahi le paati.

He let out a sigh of relief, a weight lifting off his shoulders. He knew he had taken a risk by revealing his secret, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it from her any longer.

Yuvaan : tum naraz nahi ho ki maine aise...

Advika : naraz nahi, shocked zarur thi, kyunki mujhe toh kabhi aisa feel hua hi nahi ki koi mere photos bhi le raha hai.

Yuvaan : I am sorry muffin.

Advika : it's okay, I know tum kabhi bhi kuch aisa nahi karoge jisse mera trust tute, I trust you.

He smiled and hugged her tightly.

Advika : lekin tum mujhse ab kuch nahi chupaoge okay.

He nodded..!!!
