LOVE YOU BEYOND LIMITS

7.Let's be friends

Saanjh was astonished when Vihaan didn't show up the whole day .She was wondering as to how he didn't show up;the person who never missed a single day to show his face to her, even after getting insulted and hearing harsh words from her numerous times.

Even the next day ,he again didn't show up .There was no call or text from him either.If anyone had asked her what was she checking in her phone every few minutes,She would've said that She was only looking at the time on the display screen of her phone.According to her nature,she would've never accepted that she was waiting for his call and texts.She had been moving, eating and badly missing him.

In the afternoon,She was sitting in the living room with her family.Her parents were watching news on the television.Her brother,Tarun was playing  games on his phone, sitting next to her.And she was just starting blankly at the same page of a novel for around ten minutes.

Her mind was occupied with the thought of him.She couldn't fathom  the reason of his sudden absense .

In the end,She couldn't hold her anxiety anymore and decided to ask her family about him.

"Ahem!"She cleared her throat, making them look towards her.

"Mom, Dad....I'm wondering where is your adopted son since yesterday?"She asked while flipping through the magazine pages.

Avinash wrinkled his brow at her question "Who are you talking about?"

She glanced up and met his eyes"I am talking about Vihaan, obviously."

"Sister,Why do you ask about him?Are you missing him?"Tarun asked as his lips curled into a smirk.

She sneered"What? Missing him?...Ofcourse,not.Why would I?"

"Everyday he appears at our house early in the morning.But these two days there's no sign of him.So,I was just being curious.Nothing else."She explained, trying to look nonchalant.

She was missing him badly.But she didn't want to let her family know about it.Little did she know,the way she was trying to avoid their gazes and sounding nervous ,it was making everything more obvious.

"Is that so?"Tarun didn't barge from teasing her.

"Yes."She said ,pulling on a straight face.

"Vihaan is sick.That's why he isn't coming ."Suman said in-between.

"What?What happened to him?"She got tensed.

"He has a cold and high fever since yesterday."Avinash answered this time.

"Why didn't anyone tell me about it?"She demanded.

"We wanted to inform you,dear.But Vihaan asked us not to tell you as he doesn't want to make you worried about him."Avinash replied.

A feeling of gulit washed over her as she felt herself responsible for his sickness.The day before yesterday,If she hadn't gone out without informing anyone and he hadn't need to look for her for hours in the rain ,then he wouldn't had gotten sick .

"Dad,I want to see him.If you have no problem Can I go to his house?"Saanjh asked .

"Why would we have problem with this?Ofcourse you can go."Avinash encouraged her.

"But I am surprised that you volunteered to go to his house to see him."He added,sounded amazed.

"Even I don't believe it."Suman chuckled.

"Oh my!This care and concern!"Tarun said dramatically.

Saanjh rolled eyes at them.

"Oh ,my melodramatic family!Don't get so over excited.I just want to go to see him out of humanity."She said,cutting off their teasing session .
