Finding us

Chapter 28

It was almost seven in the morning. Diya was dressed and ready for the day. She'd worn her favorite grey shorts and neon pink shirt, ready to rock the day!

A weird excitement had taken over her senses and she hadn't even slept properly last night! She was spending the whole day today in Nikhil's company, and she smiled for no reason at all!!

Of course, any thought of Nikhil made her smile! He made her feel very special. He made her heart flutter in ways she hadn't known to be possible!

Slipping on her apron, Diya put a pot of coffee on the stove to start her day. She'd then prepare the batter for Cheela and also make some pudina chutney. In an attempt to keep herself busy, she'd baked a cake late last night, and she'd serve that for breakfast too today!

Humming a soft melody under her breath, she went through her social media, waiting for her coffee.

But Diya froze as a picture popped on her screen and she groaned.

It was a picture of Rohan, from his photoshoot in Sweden the previous week. Dressed only in a pair of bright green beach shorts and the sun setting in the background, he looked gorgeous as always. His tanned skin shone as he smirked at the camera, and droplets of water glistening on his skin.

What worried Diya however, was how low his short was, and how that beautiful model was hugging him from the back.

The model was dressed in a matching skimpy beach wear and she looked so gorgeous, with her blonde hair in a neat braid! Diya's heart twisted at how she'd held Rohan!

Diya couldn't even begin to comprehend how Priya would feel if she'd see this picture! Oh and they had just had a fight the previous evening!! This is bad!!

She wanted to smack Rohan on his head - what is wrong with him? Is he not serious about Priya?

Diya swore under her breath - she'd ruin the man if he were to hurt her best friend in any way!

Just then, the milk boiled on the stove, and hissing, she put the pot away, making herself a strong cup of coffee.

Twenty minutes later as her bell rang, she was still fuming. And she opened the door, to find a brightly smiling Nikhil outside.

His smile faltered and he gulped nervously as Diya continued to glare.

"Come in!" She hissed, moving aside and letting him into her home.

Nikhil gulped. He wracked his brain, thinking of all his possible actions that could have pissed her off? But he didn't remember doing anything to upset her!

He'd texted her a goodnight last night after he'd reached home too!! She'd replied back!! What else had he missed out?

As he took a few steps into the house, he turned, to find Diya closing the door and turning to glare at him. With her hands on her hips and her eyes having turned to slits, he felt his insides churn. He didn't know she had a temper this bad!

"Erm..." Nikhil cleared his throat, pushing the bunch of freshly cut tulips towards her.

Her anger ebbed away as Diya gazed at the beautiful pink blooms, and a smile curled her lips. Nikhil heaved a sigh of relief.

"For you" he cleared his throat, taking a measured step towards her.

Diya blinked at the flowers, feeling warmth spread inside of her. The tulips were beautiful indeed. And they were in pink, and so pretty. But most of all, the man who'd given them to her was so handsome himself!

He too was wearing grey she noticed - grey trousers and a baby pink tshirt. Oh how gorgeous he looked in that shirt? Her love for pink just increased by a hundred fold!
