UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Chapter 7

When she brought her hand towards his forehead and started to rub he was confused by this which she understood clearly

"I think when you removed my hair from my face your fingers came in contact with the vermilion in my partition"

After hearing it he understood the situation may be the red color has spread on his forehead while he was rubbing his head a few seconds ago, he concentrated on the girl in front of him, a sudden urge engulfed him to pull her straight into his embrace, their proximity always do numbers on his self-control it's not a new thing for him

On the contrary, it wasn't Anu's first time feeling the adrenaline rush deep inside her, she suddenly started to feel hot when his breath touched on her neck, her toes unknowingly curled feeling it, a sudden shiver started to spread across her body, she was not able to pinpoint the actual cause of her reaction when she was near Kunal, it was not the first time

"You wait outside I will just come after fresh n up, then we can have lunch," Kunal said to which Anu just nodded and moved outside and sat on the bed with the same thoughts which were running in her head which she always tried to brush aside, the proximity of Kunal which she felt during Diwali celebration, she still remembers what happened that time like the back of her hand, after all, it was just two months back

FLASHBACK

The Diwali Puja (prayer) is to be held in both the houses at different times so that both families can attend the functions in each other's houses, from morning Ananya was in Singhania mansion and Sara is in Oberoi mansion, there is no need to do a rocket science to know that the little sister of Aarav and Kunal has fallen for her brother

Everyone in the family already knew about this, and their lingering gazes towards each other as if only they knew what's going on no one else, which makes everyone wanted to burst the bubbles but they are all holding it giving them time to come and say it with their own mouth then they will start the teasing section which Anu is way too good with

She was decorating the prayer room for the Evening puja when she saw Kunal coming from the opposite direction all sweaty after his exercise which made her breathless he is just in his yoga pants with a bare upper body, the single sweat which caught her undivided attention was running from his neck to his abs and finally hiding through the v line of his pants it was not her first time seeing him like that but something was not right with her reaction at that moment, she immediately turned around hoping that he hadn't seen her ogling him and placed her hand on her heart so that it will stop beating like it has run a marathon

When she saw him nearing towards the direction where she was standing she felt her breath stuck and fearing to be caught by him made her dash behind the statue of goddess Lakshmi along with god Vishnu, she cupped her face feeling the heat radiating through her skin it was indeed the first time she felt like this if she ignores those incidents which happened in all her life whenever she is with Kunal. She knew she has blind trust and faith in Kunal which made her assume that what she felt for him is only that much nothing more nothing less, she again consoled her heart and chided it thinking that how can she think about someone else when she is in love with someone else

(Diwali is celebrated 20 days after lord Ram killed Ravana and rescued his wife Sita from captivity in Lanka. Diwali is known as the festival of light, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual 'victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance'. There are several incarnations of goddess Lakshmi and god Vishnu and one of them is Ram and Sita)

After completing her work she went towards the kitchen to help Mom in making the sweets she doesn't have to worry about who will help her mamma considering the fact that her mamma's future daughter in law was there early as hell which left a smile on her face remembering the first thing she saw was how Sara has tiptoed out of her brother's room with a smile on her face and the cute red cheeks was an added bonus
