The Land of Beloved!!!

Chapter 44

Thapki looked at Sheena who was looking back at Thapki with a very mysterious smile that made Thapki very uneasy. Kabir excitedly walked towards her and hugged her.

Kabir: "Oh I missed u so much. But u did not tell me abt ur arrival or I wd have myself come to the airport to pick u up"

Sheena: "If I wd have informed u then how wd have I surprised u and myself as well"

Kabir: "Meaning?"

Sheena: "Oh nthg darling. U know how I like to give surprises. And this bday was a surprise for myself too. Any way so where is the bday boy. Oh there he is"

She gave Kabir a smile and walked towards where Dhruv and Shradha were standing. She handed him a gift box. Thapki wondered how Sheena brought the gift when she herself called it to be a surprise for herself. While Sheena was busy in talking with Dhruv and other family members, Bihaan walked towards Thapki.

Bihaan: "R u okay Thapki?"

Thapki (in a very low voice): "Physically yes but mentally.... Note sure"

Bihaan: "Wat did u say?"

Thapki: "Nthg. I am fine... will sit here and u just go and entertain the guests. I can not walk much as my heels r killing my feet"

Bihaan: "U just go and change into sthg comfortable"

Thapki: "No it is okay Bihaan. I can handle it"

She looked at Sheena's long legs and high heels and gave Bihaan a fake smile. Bihaan knew she was not comfortable but did not say much. Sheena waved at Bihaan. Bihaan excused himself and walked towards Sheena.

The rest of the night was a not a fun night for Thapki anymore.

John was sitting in his hotel room and was drinking heavily. Many thoughts were running through his mind. The announcement of Kiran and Vicky's engagement at the end of the party had left him shocked. He was not expecting this to happen this soon. He did not get the chance to do anything abt it. He had to do sthg. He had invested so much of his time and energy in her and he had to get sthg out of her. "If plan A did not work it does not mean Plan B could also be a fail" was the thought that brought an evil smile on John's face and he picked up his mobile and dialled a number.

Thapki opened her eyes and looked at the clock. It was 11 o'clock already and she was still asleep. She turned her face and found Bihaan sleeping next to her. Last night was such a busy night. First Dhruv's bday party and then Sheena's arrival and last but not the least, the engagement announcement of Kiran and Vicky. It was very late at night when she came to her room and changed and went to bed instantly. Bihaan must have come even more late and that is y he was still asleep.

Thapki got up and went to wash room to freshen up. When she got out, Bihaan was almost up. She came near him and touched his shoulder. Bihaan opened his eyes and looked at her.

Thapki: "Bihaan I am going downstairs. U freshen up and also come downstairs"

She did not wait for his reply and turned but Bihaan held her hand and made her turn back. She signalled with her head to ask wat he wanted. Bihaan looked into her eyes and saw the worry. He did not say anything and let her go. Thapki looked at him confusingly but left without saying anything. Bihaan knew that Thapki was worried coz Sheena was back again so he promised himself to make her as secure as possible. But he needed some time before giving her the security she wanted and this was his biggest concern at the moment.
