Is She The One?✔

Chapter 27

"He is an orphan." Farhan said with a hint of pain glimmering his eyes.

"What?!" She asked out surprisingly.

"Yeah Ainu. He had grown up in an orphanage. All alone." She looked him without trying to blink.

"He had been adopted by them at his age of eight. He is very lucky that he got such a great family. They all are loving him like their own blood."

"But only we could feel the pain he is suffering inside. At times, he feels so sad thinking about his real parents."

"There was a day he dared to ask me what would be the reason made them to leave him in an orphanage." Ainu was still in the shock hearing him.

"Ishaan is very different. He always try to make others happy. But he himself don't want anything."

It was then his mind shifted to another thoughts. He kept silent thinking about his own family.

He recalled how his papa used to sing all his favourite songs when he was a kid.He still remember the day when papa gifted him his beloved guitar.

Ohh! He missed his papa.

Out of a sudden, he turned to check whether Ainu was still there hearing no voice at all.

He smiled after seeing her sleeping with her head resting  his shoulder.

How could I forget that Ainu hates senti talks?

Next evening at College,

"Well..." Eby began.

"What?" Anjali asked raising her eyebrow.

Both were trying to start a conversation for too long sitting before football court. He smiled and turned to look the other way.

"Eby, what you want to know?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me please..."

"Woo..."

"Uhm?" She waited.

"Can you please tell it again?"

"What?"

"The words which you said that day. I mean our fine arts day."

"Ohh! I said 'n' number of words that day and which one you want to hear?"

"Anjali, don't act like you didn't understand."

"But I didn't get it for real. Believe me" She tried to hide her smile.

"Okay then, you tell me what I said. So that I will get it. Good idea hai naa?" Noticing a very disappointed Eby, she suggested.

"Uhh, me? It was.. you better tell."

"No. You first." She pointed.

"Ladies first."

"But..."

"Okay I will tell." The duo snapped their head to see the source of that voice.

"Aju?"

"You can ask me what you both want to hear. I can help you guys."
He passed a sheepish smile.

"No thanks!" Said Eby.

"Then come on boy. It's time for the match."

"But I think I can't play as my legs are not fine now." Eby excused pretending like he was dying from leg pain.

"Don't worry when I'm here. I will make everything fine." Aju dragged him and headed towards the ground.

Anjali kept smiling watching his pathetic face looking her.
