✨ 38. His care ✨

Tu hi ye mujhko bata de
Chahun main ya naa
Apne tu dil ka pata de
Chahun main ya naa
Itna bata doon tujhko
Chaahat pe apni mujhko
Yun tto nahi ikhtiyaar
Phir bhi yeh socha dil ne
Ab jo laga hoon milne
Poochhu tujhe ek baar

Yuvaan stopped the bike outside her house. Advika hopped down from the bike, her face a mix of emotions. She turned away, ready to walk inside, but he quickly grabbed her hand.

advika : Yuvaan, leave my hand.!!!

she said, refusing to look at him. Her tone was firm, but deep down, she felt a tug in her heart. He sighed, feeling anxious.

yuvaan : Muffin, please look at me once.

he pleaded. The vulnerability in his voice made her pause. Slowly, she turned to face him, her eyes reflecting a storm of feelings.

yuvaan : I am sorry, Advi...I am really sorry. It was my mistake, I agree. Just please forget it.

he said, his voice trembling as he spoke, he truly wished to make things right between them.

Before she could respond, her phone rang. It startled her, and she quickly pulled it out of her pocket.

advika : yes mumma haa bass bahar hi hu aa rahi hu andar.

she said into the phone, after a brief pause, she hung up and looked back at him, her expression unreadable.

advika : Kal baat karte hai, late ho gaya hai, ghar jao.

she said softly, but there was a hint of finality in her words. She turned away and walked towards the door, leaving him standing there.

He felt his heart sink as he watched her go inside. He had hoped for a different response a spark of forgiveness, perhaps. Instead, he was met with silence.

He got back on his bike, his mind swirling with thoughts of what he could say to make it right, he drove away..!!!

Niren dropped Netra off at her home, his heart racing. As she stepped down the bike, he glanced at her, and a wave of emotions washed over him. He was confused about her behavior lately.

Ever since he confessed his feelings for her, she seemed to avoid him. But today was different. She had agreed to come with him, and her smile was bright.

netra : niren mujhe tumse baat karni hai, kal sunday hai, mujhse daffodils cafe mein miloge?

His heart leaped into his throat, beating faster than he thought possible. He could only manage a nod, his voice caught somewhere between hope and apprehension.

She nodded back, a small smile gracing her lips. Then, she turned and went inside, leaving Niren standing completely stunned.

He couldn't quite believe his ears. She wanted to talk to him. He was ecstatic, a wave of happiness washing over him.

Yet, a knot of fear tightened in his stomach. What if she rejected his feelings? What if this was her way of letting him down gently?

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He needed to prepare himself for any outcome.

He replayed the day in his mind, searching for any clues in her actions, any hint of what she might say.

Next morning, advika came down lazily yawning, she saw her parents getting ready to go somewhere.

advika : mumma papa..!!!
