Mr. Arora your wife gave birth to a baby boy, Congratulations!!!
Dev Arora
DOB:: 26th March 1992
Sanjay Arora and Deepa Arora has a daughter Neha and Dev was born 4 years after their daughter. Mr. Arora owns a shopping mall and has a name for himself. Dev was loved by everyone because he was the first male child born after a long time in the family. He was always surrounded by sisters or aunties so he was a very shy child.
Exactly after 2 years in 1994 in Sharma family their 2nd child was born Sonakshi Sharma. Mr. Aditya Sharma and his wife Seema Sharma also has a son Arjun who happens to be 2 years older than Dev.
Mr. Sharma is also a businessman, owns a hospital.
Both the families were acquainted with each other, the kids went to the same private English medium school, they would often end up seeing each other socially.
Since childhood Dev was pampered by his sister and all cousin sisters, he had only few friends Bunty Walia was his best friend. Dev was a very good student and loved sports he was a lanky young tall boy who didn't take much interest in girls. When Dev was in 12th std Sonakshi was in 10th.
Sonakshi grew up with her brother and his friends she was very outgoing, fashion conscious, modern, fierce, competitive. But some things were common between Dev and Sonakshi, they both were respectful, respected their culture and tradition they both were smart, intelligent and focused.
It was the last year for Dev and they were going to have prom and he didn't have a partner. Dev was always busy with studies and sports he never cared about his clothes or anything, he was more like a nerd girls never even looked at him. There are times he was even bullied and teased but he never cared about all that. Even Bunty had a partner but Dev didn't. He had a crush on a girl who was very pretty and famous in school so Dev thought of asking her.
D:: hey Nikki
Nikki:: what?
D:: nik Nikki!!! I... I.. was just ..
Nikki:: I don't have the whole day just say what you have to say
D:: Nikki would you like to go to prom with me?
Nikki:: are you crazy? I don't want to embarrass myself.... your dad owns a shopping mall why can't you get some new clothes for yourself from your own shopping mall?
Dev was heart broken and also he was embarrassed as Nikki said all that in front of everyone in school. Suddenly Dev felt a hand on his shoulder
S:: Dev, Would you take me with you as your partner?
Dev was shocked he almost had tears in his eyes
D:: Sonakshi??!!
S:: I know I'm a 10th grader but I think I'm pretty enough to be your partner and famous enough to be the partner of the vice captain of our school cricket team and wise enough to be the partner of the topper of the school and not to forget I'm taller than Nikki to match your height.
D:: Sonakshi are you sure? I mean it's not a must that I need a partner
S:: Dev does that mean you are saying no to me?
D:: no!! No!! Never!! I mean Yessss!! I mean no!!
Sonakshi laughed and said
S:: okay okay I get it!!
D:: thanks Sonakshi!!
S:: your most welcome Dev
D:: Sonakshi
S:: yes Dev!!
D::Sonakshi actually we have a theme for the prom, is it okay if we color coordinate our clothes? I mean would you like to go shopping with me?
S:: oh nice!!! Sure!! You can pick me up this Saturday 11 o'clock
Sonakshi gave an angry look at Nikki because she hates Bullies and ofcourse Dev was the happiest but most of all Sonakshi became more famous for this gesture.
Next Saturday Dev actually took Sonakshi for shopping and he even let her pick the clothes as he felt she is a fashionista. She picked light blue dress for herself and matching tie and tuxedo for Dev. His parents were so happy that Dev atlast found a partner and he is behaving like a normal boy of his age. Dev's dad was so happy that he gave his credit card and said he can spend as much as he wants. After shopping they even had lunch together and Dev dropped her back home.
Prom night::
Dev went to pick up Sonakshi and when she came out Dev was shocked, she looked like a fairy and he had his mouth open. He closed his mouth when she came close to him, Sonakshi was pleasantly surprised too as Dev actually was quite a handsome guy. She thought to herself that only if someone gave Dev some grooming he could've been so famous in school.
They reached school auditorium for the party Dev found his best friend Bunty with his partner, everything was going fine they were all happy, having fun, dancing. On the other side Nikki wasn't too happy seeing Sonakshi and Dev getting so much attention and she was more angry at herself when she realized Dev was actually a handsome lad. Dev went to get some drink and Nikki followed him and purposely spilled her drink on him.
Nikki:: oh I'm sorry Dev!! But who cares right? Not that Sonakshi is going to go with you anywhere after the party. She pitied you that's why she came with you, what kind of man you are that a girl had to come and rescue you. You Sissy!!!
Nikki said many other things to insult Dev.
Sonakshi noticed it from far away and by the time she walked towards Dev Nikki went away, Dev looked very sad and he walked out even when Sonakshi was calling he didn't stop but she ran after him. He went to a corner and sat down feeling very sad.
S:: Dev what's wrong?
D:: nothing I just want to be alone
S:: but Dev we came here together
D:: Sonakshi, I shouldn't have accepted your offer
S:: what's wrong Dev?
D:: you know what when you asked me the other day I knew you felt bad for me that's why you came forward and I felt I found a friend or someone who is not like everyone. But now that Nikki told me I was so worthless that I'm hiding behind a girl you pitied me I need a girl to protect me and all that I don't know why It hurt a lot. You did pity me right?
S:: Dev it's true I don't like Bullies but I didn't pity you Dev trust me..
D:: don't worry about it... I'm sorry I ruined your day. I hope one day I'll be able to make it up to you. (He wiped the tear rolling down hiding from Sonakshi)
S:: Dev please don't say like that... you didn't ruin anything.
D:: you know what, you are a very nice person... anyway I want to go home. You can stay if you want or else I can drop you?
S:: how about some Ice cream?
D:: ice cream?
S:: you do owe me an ice cream Dev
Dev smiled and said okay let's go after having the ice cream he dropped her home. Prom was the last day Sona saw Dev, he left for higher education to America. Dev didn't want to come back to India during vacations also so his family would visit him in America. He came to India during his sister Neha's wedding and went back to finish his masters. When he came he didn't see Sonakshi as she was in Australia doing her undergrad. Dev did want to meet Sonakshi he was expecting to see her in the wedding as her family was also invited but he was sad that he didn't get to see her. Dev could never forget that Sonakshi who didn't even know him that well came for his rescue when he needed it the most. She often came across his mind and even Dev doesn't know why... times passed life moved on Dev even had girl friends nothing serious and in last six years a lot of things changed Dev changed his life style changed. Even though he was still little introvert but he managed to mingle well with people.
After Dev finished his graduation he joined a multinational company in America, soon even Sonakshi finished her MBA and returned back to India.
During this time Dev also came to India as his sister just gave birth to a baby girl. Dev was the happiest he loved kids, he always loved playing with his cousin's kids, he was the designated nanny of the family and he didn't mind that but ofcourse now he was here only for three weeks then he was going back to USA. In those three weeks Dev looked for Sonakshi and he found out that she was dating someone and she seems to be serious about the relationship. After that he didn't try to meet her, even he didn't understand why he felt dejected, he just didn't understand why he didn't meet her, he didn't understand why it hurt him so much because even he had affairs, not that he is a virgin anymore so why does it matter and plus Sonakshi was the girl who felt bad for him and offered to go to prom with him that's it there was nothing more than that.
This time when he went back to America he felt home sick, he just didn't want to stay there anymore but he still continued to stay there as he was doing really well and already bought an apartment in Manhattan had fancy car he was living the dream without taking any help from his family. But after the trip to India he wasn't enjoying it anymore, he always felt empty, he felt something was calling him back home but it took him almost a year to decide that he wants to go back home and he sold everything, left his job and went back.
His family was very happy to have him back, his dad always wanted him to join the family business. When Dev came he still felt something was wrong, he still felt empty he wasn't happy. His mother started looking for girls as he was the most eligible bachelor in town, Dev didn't stop his mom he didn't care much neither he ever felt that it has to be a love marriage, all he wanted was a respectful simple girl so that they can be compatible and also said he would want to know the girl before marriage because he doesn't want to get married and realize that she is not the right person or he is not right for her.
After some time Dev and Bunty was having coffee in Starbucks and suddenly Dev heard a voice and he turned right away. It was hard for him to recognize this girl but he knew the voice right away, he couldn't see her face properly as she tried to cover her face with a scarf and she was also wearing sunglasses. He walked close to her
D:: Sonakshi? Is that you?
S:: Sorry do I know you? (She stammered)
D:: hey it's me Dev, Dev Arora. Remember?
S:: Dev?
D:: oh my God!!! It's been ages....
(The server calls for Sonakshi and gives her coffee)
S:: oh yea... okay it was nice to see you again.. I gotta go bye ( she looked very nervous and she just ran out)
D:: Sonak....
Bunty:: hey Dev!!! Let her go....
D:: what? What happened?
Bunty:: a lot of things happened last year
D:: what do you mean? I thought she was about to get married or something
B:: Yea that's what we thought, but something very bad happened
D:: what do you mean? Can you just tell me what happened instead of creating suspense?
B:: remember last year when I told you she was serious about someone but after you left all these things happened. One day she and her friends went to some party in one of their friend's place and somebody spiked her drink she wasn't feeling well, as far as I know her boyfriend's best friend did that and she was going to leave the party, before leaving she went to use the washroom and that guy came to the room and tried molesting her but somehow she managed to escape. But next day that guy made some pics go viral where it looked like she was doing something with him. Her boyfriend didn't believe her and left her.
D:: what? He didn't believe her?
B:: I know everything in details because her best friend is my sister's friend. Her boyfriend is such a Bastard and his best friend did all this because he wanted to get his sister to marry Sonakshi's boyfriend. Ofcourse the society never believes women so people tagged her as slut, whore and what not even though it was never her fault. Her boyfriend actually married his best friend's sister just in 3 months time and Sonakshi just broke down. She tried her best to get back to normal life and she got a proposal who lived in London and her parents were happy and even Sonakshi thought of moving on but then even they rejected her when she was ready for engagement. They said they couldn't go further with this relationship because of her character. Since then She hides from everyone, she doesn't talk to anyone. This is not the same Sonakshi who would fight with bullies, who was confident, who was a fashionista. Haven't you noticed she was stammering, she lost her confidence. Nowadays as far as I know she spends a lot of her time in some orphanage and a nursing home close to her place. She hardly meets anyone or goes anywhere.
D:: what about her family? Her brother?
B:: her family has been very supportive towards her and her brother got married last year before all this happened.
Dev was speechless he just felt some kind of sharp pain in his chest. He felt guilty even though he was never in the picture but somehow he just felt that someone who was there for him when he needed it he wasn't there for that person. Sonakshi didn't even remember but for Dev it was still fresh, that was something that changed Dev and he couldn't see Sonakshi suffer for something that she haven't done.
Next few days Dev was trying to find a way to meet Sonakshi, he asked his sister if she could help but Neha Di was much older than them so she didn't know anyone from that group, atlast he asked his mom and ofcourse his mom was curious to know why her son so desperately wanted to meet Sonakshi. His mother knew Sonakshi's story and always felt bad for her as she knew that it was not her fault. Dev told his mom that Sonakshi was the only person who stood by him even when she didn't know him that well and today he is the way he is because of her.
Deepa(Dev's mom):: Dev can I ask you something?
D:: yes Maa
Deepa:: Do you love Sonakshi?
D:: Maa, I don't know what kind of feeling is this, but I can't say I love her because I don't even know her. I can say one thing that she always came across my mind, I often thought about her even unconsciously. But I do want to know her!
Deepa just smiled and said
Deep:: Dev I'll definitely find a way where you can meet her but after that it's up to you how much you can know her but yes me and your whole family will support you with any decision you take because we trust you.
D:: thanks Maa, I love you!
Deepa:: I love you too beta..
Next week Bunty found out the name of the orphanage and the Nursing Home where she spends most of her time and Dev even tried stalking her which ofcourse didn't work too well. Dev turned out to be a very bad stalker and he just couldn't catch up with Sonakshi. She deactivated all her social media accounts, no Facebook no instagram so there was no way to contact her and he didn't want to text her or WhatsApp her out of the blue. He didn't want to make it look obvious he just wanted to give Sonakshi the space and see him at her own space, he wanted to make it look like coincidence, so she doesn't feel pressured. Dev was loosing hope but as they say mothers never give up and his mom met Sonakshi's mom in some kitty party and invited her and asked her to bring Sonakshi with her this way she will get to meet Dev as he still didn't forget how Sonakshi went to the prom with him and rescued him from that bully. Seema(Sonakshi's mom) was very happy to know about Dev and happily accepted her invitation.
Next weekend
Seema:: Sona beta are you going to wear this? I mean we are going to someone's house for the first time and don't you think your dress is little too simple for that?
S:: Maa, I don't like to dress up anymore
Seema:: beta I'm not asking you to dress up but may be wear something colorful or some jewelry
S:: Maa please don't do this to me...
Seema:: okay atleast wear that new white dress I bought you. Now don't tell me you don't like it coz that day you said you did and not only that it's not short or sleeveless or anything it keeps you covered.
S:: okay Maa
Seema:: Sona I know everything seems to be difficult for you but life has to move on. People will talk even if you cover yourself from top to bottom so that shouldn't stop us from doing what we like. Beta stop thinking what people will say all you need to know is that your family loves you we trust you.
S:: I know Maa, I'm trying
Seema:: that's my girl...
They reached Dev's place and there stood Dev in front of Sonakshi. He was wearing jeans and a white shirt looking like some model right out of some international magazine's cover page...
And Sonakshi wore the white dress that her mom suggested and Dev felt sad looking at her.
She looked so weak, she lost a lot of weight which didn't look healthy, she had dark circles even her smile looked very tired. But Dev was still mesmerized seeing her beautiful eyes, those eyes had so much to say. He welcomed them inside and as they all sat down
D:: Sonakshi would you like to see my terrace garden?
S:: hmmm I ... mm..
Seema:: oh wow!! You like gardening? Even Sonakshi loved gardening. Sona go ahead go see his garden may be Dev can give you some tips too about those bugs that's eating up everything
S:: hmm okay!!
Dev and Sonakshi went to the terrace and Sonakshi's face was blooming seeing all the colorful flowers..
S:: wow this is beautiful... you did all this?
D:: no it will be a lie if I said I did, but yes since my childhood I loved gardening but after I left for USA my mom continued taking care of this place and now that I'm back so now me and my mom both of us take care of them
S:: that's wonderful....
As they were just looking around
D:: Sonakshi you know I often thought about you. You inspired me to be confident you know that?
S:: Dev things have changed I have changed. It's not the same anymore
D:: but for me you are the same Sonakshi
S:: no! I'm not the same person
D:: but I've seen what's inside you may be you just lost practice or may be you don't want to practice
S:: I think we should go back inside
Dev didn't want to force her so they came back after that they all had dinner. Sonakshi didn't talk much but Dev was trying to entertain his guests. Sonakshi did think in her mind that how much Dev has changed and she was happy that he groomed himself and now he is so perfect.
Dev tried talking to Sonakshi but nothing worked she avoided any kind of conversation. It was almost time to go home and Dev was getting impatient as he really wanted to talk to her and ask her how he can help or he wanted to let her know she can trust him and talk to him. He wants to fix things for her be there for her. But nothing like that happened and now as they are about to leave Dev stood up as Sonakshi turned towards the door
D/: Ms. Sonakshi Sharma!!!!
Sonakshi and her mom both of them turned around, Dev's mom, dad , two of his aunts and his cousins were there too they all looked at Dev wondering why did he call her like this that too so loud?
D:: Ms. Sonakshi Sharma, I want to marry you! Would you marry me?Hello my friends!! So here I am with a Devakshi story I hope you liked the first introduction chapter. Pls don't forget to vote and comment. I love reading comments ❤️
