Flames Of Desires

23. Jab they met!

(1 year back)

Virginia- A place well known for its serene beauty, sparkling water of Atlantic ocean makes it worth dying for. This place is well defined by people "Virginia is for lovers", couple who visit here once can spend their lifetime without any regret, this place is nothing but heaven on Earth.

Two sisters who haven't met in six months have decided to finally meet on the famous Virginia Beach. There is always one person in everyone's life with whom we can say all the dilemma, all the havoc brewing inside our heart and that one person won't judge you but will be there to patiently listen your each and every word, if needed; will provide with the best advice you can adopt. This one person can be anyone- your mother, father, brother, sister, best friend, husband, it can be anyone whom you find trustworthy. In Nandini's life it was her sister, with whom she can share every inch of happiness and sorrow she feels and same goes with Aahana but as someone rightly said "Fear is something which can take you far away from your own soul even."..

Aahana : "So tell me? What made you run straight to your clingy sister?"..she teased her as they both settled down nearby Starbucks but today Nandini isn't in the mood to take any jokes.

Nandini : "Aahana it's serious please."..she murmured with a stern face and this made Aahana concerned for her.

Aahana : "What's wrong kiddo?"..she placed her hand on Nandini's hand which is placed on the table, Nandini exhaled a deep breath and closed her eyes. Aahana let her calm down, she gave her the much needed space so that she can utter everything to her without any second thoughts.

Meanwhile, Aahana moved the tablet screen towards her which is stuck on the table, she made a quick order of one cold coffee with ice cream for Nandini and one Cappacino with extra sugar for herself.

Nandini : "A week ago. I met someone.."..she murmured underneath her breath but this made Aahana alarmed but still she kept her excitement in check as he really want Nandini to open up by her own.

Nandini again adopted a brief silence, but Aahana too didn't nagged her. It's the beauty of a relationship where you give breathing space to your mate, where you worry about them but still never cross the limits as there is a difference between possessiveness and over-possessiveness and one should always keep that in check.

Aahana : "Gee! Am listening"..her calm as water tone reached Nandini's eardrum and she looked at her with soft eyes.

Nandini : "And he is a monster.."..she muttered angrily which made Aahana laughed out loud.

Aahana : "Am officially intrigued."..she ceased her laugh as Nandini glared.

Nandini : "You find all this funny, but am pissed. From past one week, there is only one person in my head and i.e. Mr. Megalomaniac..."..she snorted but Aahana is enjoying as she can see some spark in Nandini's eyes, something which she has never seen before. It's not like Nandini for the first time is talking about some man who has pissed her off but unlike other times it's the first when despite of being frustrated she looks utterly smitten by someone.

Aahana : "Okayyyyy"..she stretched the last word a bit with force and then continued... "Mr. Megalomaniac- that's really a huge big word for me. Can't we cut it short to make our conversation smooth?"..she asked in her innocent tone which made Nandini throw a tissue on her as here she has initiated such stern topic but Aahana is focusing on adjectives.

Nandini : "Fine. Then let's call him......ummm..."..she thought for a while and then something clicked in her playful mind.. "Mr. M?"...She sounded like Eureka! I found gold mine underneath ocean.
