Finding us

Chapter 14

'Tu Tu Hai Vohi Dil Ne Jisse Apna Kaha
Tu Hai Jahan Main Hoon Vahan
Ab To Yeh Jeena Tere Bin Hai Saza'

The beautiful song played in the background whilst Abhi and Naina swayed on the spot, looking into one another's eyes. Abhi had his arm around her waist whilst she had her arms around his neck, gazing into his eyes with a shy smile on her face.

"I'll melt into a puddle if you keep gazing at me like that" Naina pecked his lips and smiled, to which he grinned.

"You do kiss me a lot when I gaze at you like this, have you noticed?" He winked, kissing her on her forehead.

"Really Abhi? You think I kiss you because you hold me like this?" Naina rolled her eyes and Abhi smirked.

"Get me drunk and I will more than just kiss you pujya patidev" Naina sniggered to which she scowled.

But as Abhi moved forward to kiss her, her phone buzzed, making him groan.

Giggling at his groan, Naina pulled out the phone from her trousers pocket, her eyes lighting up as she saw the name on the phone.

"Be right back" she smiled at Abhi, pulling herself out of Abhi's arms and walking away to take the call.

He kept his gaze on her retreating figure, sighing heavily. But then his eyes landed on the tall brooding man at the table, with a glass of wine in his hand. And shaking his head disapprovingly, Abhi made his way towards Nikhil.

"Sitting here and brooding like this isn't a solution Nikhil" Abhi patted his best mate's shoulder whilst the latter kept his longing gaze on Diya who was sat beside Shruthi and chatting away merrily.

"She said I'm a stranger bro!" Nikhil smiled sadly.

"You gotta keep trying my man" Abhi nodded.

"How? She's not talking to me... She's ignoring me Abhi" Nikhil sighed, his eyes on Diya as she giggled at whatever it was that Shruthi was telling her.

"But you're the pain in the ass, won't-give-up, get a girl's drink thrown at your face kinda guy... You're not the brooding guy Nik... Doesn't suit you" Abhi chuckled, pouring a glass of whiskey for himself.

"She's the reason I'm Devdas and not Mr. Flirt!" Nikhil scoffed.

"Things change with the right girl Nikhil.... But for the right girl, you'll also have to work. Naina and I had our bad days and we put in effort everyday to make our relationship work... Shruthi and Kunal have their dadaji cockblocking them.... It's all in the effort you put-in mate... You said she called and texted you... And yet here you are spending your evening with alcohol instead of apologizing to her" Abhi smiled.

"And the whole evening she has been stealing glances at you my friend" Naina piped in as she joined them.

"Even now... Look" Naina winked, wrapping her arm around Abhi's waist.

And hardly unable to believe his luck, Nikhil turned to find Diya just looking away, biting her lip in embarrassment.

"It's not a lost cause Nik... It's just that you made a mistake.... And now, you got to fix it" Abhi shrugged.

"Go talk to her" Naina urged him, snuggling against Abhi's side as he kissed the top of her head.

But Nikhil just sighed and shook his head.

"Maybe they need a little push" Abhi winked before he pecked Naina's lips and dragged her off to dance.

Wrapping his arms around Naina, they both swayed on the spot. Catching Kunal's eyes, he winked at him and kissed Naina on top of her head.
