Concealed Affections

12| His Girl

Chapter-12 :

Harsha Kumar :

Two days flew away with being busy in the office, working on a new project, Udai and I worked hard to complete that emergency work, and the happy part was our senior manager Mr. Iyer was impressed with our teamwork. So finally Sunday is here and it's time to meet my girl.

I woke up to the noise of the alarm, switched it off, strode into the hall to have my bed coffee, and was astonished at my sight.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked shocked.

"Oh, Harsha! You were still in bed till now! How can you forget that today, we have an outing plan, visiting our past neighbors?" Mom said narrowing her eyebrows, being annoyed.

"Yeah, right, I do remember, but that doesn't mean leaving bed early Come on, guys, It's a holiday but how can you be already ready?" I lazily slumped down onto the sofa.

"Oh, Harshu, such an indolent person you are! We are damn excited to meet them, so got ready quickly and are preparing to have breakfast to leave immediately and here is you, came for a bed coffee, how goosy you are!" My sister chastised.

"And yeah. I am giving you only fifteen minutes to freshen up, so do it quicker and come, we will wait for you. Don't dare to get late, because we are not going to wait for you too long, do you get it? Now hurry.!" Urmi shrieked and pushed me into my room, shutting the door with a thud.

My poor family! They were never aware of my excitement for today and how I was badly waiting for this day. I just want to maintain that it doesn't matter to me to meet them, but who will know my inner soul leaping with euphoria and thrill?

I took the quickest shower, put on my usual striped shirt, and applied some hair gel to look stylish. I am coming to Meera, be ready to get magnetized.

we had our breakfast and started to leave but suddenly, my phone rang making everyone sigh in disappointment. I answered the call and it was Udai on the other side.

"Mail me yesterday's project details. It's urgent!" He told me and cut the call.

"Sorry, guys. I  have to send an urgent mail so you carry on. I'll meet you all directly at their home. Bye!" I said for which they looked worried and wanted to wait for me, but I opposed and managed them to leave.

After twenty minutes, I completed sending the mail and walked outside to find out that they had gone in the car, so I started to walk.

When I was halfway through the distance, the best moment of my life happened, I saw her, I saw my girl after four long years. I got an impulse to run towards her and hug her tight, but no, I realized that it takes time. My happiness is like I won a lottery of crores and I couldn't stop smiling with my hormones on the swing.

But suddenly, distress engulfed me as she looked melancholic. What had happened to my girl? Her eyes were swollen and her face was dull, which made me upset, but still, she looked pretty with her big black eyes, wavy hair tied into a pony, and small lips. She is now more cheeky and chubby compared to the past making me crave to pinch her cheeks. Whatever may be the sadness you are experiencing right now, Meera, I will make sure to keep you happy for the rest of your life.

I knowingly went opposite her direction, to gain her attention, but she seemed to be lost in something.

So, I decided to direct her attention toward this charming man, Harsha and I intentionally bumped into her.
