Finding Her....Last Love 2

Smiles

Yash

Reshu was staring at me as if I had just landed from a space shuttle. I don't blame her.I took off for 6 years without any information. Taking steps to the portico of the hotel. I stood a step below her, she was still staring at my face without blinking once ''Say something Resh'' She suddenly trembled as if woken from a deep sleep.

Shikha walked past us and whispered something to Resh, which earned her a dangerous glare and then her eyes widen. Now she knows how I got her whereabouts. 2 days back my inbox pinged, expectantly I jumped on to my mobile hoping it to  be from Reshu, but it was from some Shikha. I felt doomed, was about to throw my mobile in the corner when the subject caught my eyes; 'About Reshu'

Opening the mail I went through it, she has introduced herself a Resh's business partner cum friend. WOW ! so finally my Resh is living her dream, that made my chest bulge with pride. Shikha had left her contact no. on the mail and asked me to call ASAP. I did that, she quickly briefed me about the their coming Delhi trip and asked me to be there on time. Meanwhile, like a top notch love guru she insisted to refrain myself from further mailing Resh. Frankly I was sceptical about that part. But since Shikha was acting as a bridge , I decided to go with the flow. Next few days we exchanged many messages, practically I bombarded her with questions about Reshu . Shikha answered patiently for sometime and then decided to switch her phone off getting irritated. Well, I got the message.

Shikha called me back on the day of their arrival in Delhi. I was excited like a 5 year old who has been waiting for gifts from some distant relative living abroad. I dragged mom to my room asking her to help me with clothes. But all suggestions went in bin as I was too confused selecting and rejecting clothes over and over again; ''you love her too much'' Mom asked studying my face. I smiled in reply and took a place next to her; ''yes I do, she is special''

''what so special about her, what makes her different from other girls'' I knew Mom wanted to know the depth of my feelings. ''She is my best friend. A friend who was present when I needed her . Mom she is just herself, she never pretends to be someone else . Good or bad , she is up on the face. Best part, she doesn't care what you think about her or her opinions. ''

''She is honest'' Mom summarised it for me. I just nodded . ''So are you bringing her home this time''

I jumped of the bed''Oh no mom , not so soon. I don't even know how will I propose. What if she doesn't feel the same way'' I panicked . Mom lightly slapped her head; ''Dumb! Her friend Neha said that it was always you''

''Mom, this is Reshu we are talking about. Chances are she might murder me the moment she lays her eyes on me.'' Then I was serious; ''Plus it has been 6 years, I gave her no reason to feel in a different way about me. I am scared, I can't lose her''

Mom studied me for some time and then tapped the place next to her; ''Distance, silence sometimes become the reason and realization of your true feelings. Hope for the best son and as your dad said the other day, there must be some reason that you realized your feeling after 6 yrs'' I just nodded keeping my fingers crossed waiting for the D day.

''Yash drop her to our hotel safely'' I nodded gratefully as Shikha walked passed us. My eyes moved to Reshu and her blank expression had now changed into a dangerous frown. Turning her eyes away she walked off ''Reshu please'' I pleaded , but she didn't budge for a second. I screwed my own prospects bad. Something like a panic mode was now on in my head. I could hear Ambulance siren of emergency screaming my brain. I literally imagined myself in a mental asylum being rejected by Reshu. Suddenly ,my brain was giving me lame ideas like going on my knees and plead. I don't know what was happening, I wanted to be those rugged good looking billionaire protagonist who can woo their love by arrogance and possessiveness . How do they do that ? which I myself couldn't understand . 'Kidnap her suggested my head'.No way, this is Reshu, even I think about it she might just kick me between the legs before beating me black and blue.
