Dedicated to my friend OwenFlavia
Priya's POV
Finally it's nigt time and they Will arrive anytime soon.
I am so excited to meet him, that's why i took extra care in dressing up myself.
Bell rang and i rush down from my room but Mom opened it before me.
When i reached the last step, i was almost going to Trip and so was Aarav Bhai. Yeah he also ran down just like me.
Rahul is looking so good, i am watching him after so long and then the Kiss replayed again in my mind, making me shy all of a sudden.
I looked at Bhai he is looking at Di without Blinking, Di is Greeting the elders and then Rahul took the Blessings.
Bhai and i Walked up to their parents.
Bhai took their parents blessings and then Bhaviksha di said "hi"
He Grinned and replied shyly "hello"
I giggled, even though they have confessed their love, bhai is still shy.
"Hi Rahul" Bhai said
"Hello Bhai"
"Namaste Uncle, Namaste Aunty" i said
"Namaste Beta and congratulations" Uncle said and i grinned "thank you"
Aunty kissed my forehead "you such a sweet and Smart girl, congrats "
"Thanks aunty"
I really love their gesture towards me.
Bhaviksha di came and hugged "congratulations Priya, i knew you can do it"
"No, we should be thankful to Rahul" My dad said
"No! Why should Rahul given the Credit so much, i mean he just help in maths but in rest it was Priya who did it, infact it was Priya who gave the maths exam and scores so good not Rahul" Bhaviksha di said and everyone smiled
"Yes uncle Bhaviksha is right" Rahul said "it's all because of Priya's Hard work"
Then my mom replied "But still beta, you helped her and it's so nice of you that you aren't taking the credit"
Bhaviksha di knitted her brows and Said "he is Aunty, by having the delicious food made by you"
Everyone laughed
"I think we should enter in" Dadaji said and we all sat in the living hall.
Bhaviksha di sat Beside Bhai and i unfortunately sat with My mom and Rahul with mine.
After talking for a while Dadaji said "first let's have dinner then we will talk more"
Everyone agreed to that.
But before starting the dinner we cut the Chocolate cake and i fed it to everyone.
When i came up to Rahul, he smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.
Isn't he happy??
Maybe disturbed about something, he took a bite and Applied some on my cheek to which i glared at him but then smiled.
"Okay okay, now let's eat" Dad said "i am very hungry"
We all did the very tasty Mexican Dinner, yeah mom and I prepared it together.
Everyone gave complimented and now Bhaviksha di, Bhai, Rahul and are strolling down the garden.
Bhaviksha di and Aarav bhai are holding Hand in hand and She kept her head on his Shoulder while Rahul and i am moving Behind them.
So to give them privacy and Have some Privacy with Rahul i said "um Bhai"
Both of them tunred around "i am going along with Rahul to my room to show him my Projects an all, you both carry on"
Without listening to them i held Rahul's hand and walked him inside with me.
And left hand immediately Infornt of all the Elders.
I told them that we are in our room but i took him to terrace "why are we going on the top?" He asked
"Because i don't want to go in my room"
"But you were gonna show me your projects?"
"Naaa they are not good and actually i lied because i want to spend Time with you"
We reached the Terrace and the wind is blowing so high and cold.
Giving the environment a romantic feel.
"You know Rahul, i never thought that i could score this good grades and now see everyone in my family is so happy"
I held his hand and said "now i want admission in India itself not USA even though i want too"
"Why?"
I looked into eyes eyes and said "because of you, because i want to stay close to you"
My heart beat increased while saying it.
We both stood their in silence when he called out my name "Priya"
I smiled "yes?"
"I-i wanted to say something"
"Say"
He left my hand and said "i am sorry for Kissing you that day"
"Hunh?"
"I am sorry for Kissing you Priya"
My smile began to decrease "why?"
"Because, I don't know why i kissed you, it was just that i couldn't St-stop myself"
"That means you have feelings for me, right?" I asked hopefully
He turned around "Priya ! I-i can't have feelings for you, i just can't"
"But why?" I stand Infornt of him
"Because i am not capable of you"
"Who said that?"
He looked at me and gulped
"Who said that Rahul??? What happened??? What happened on Picnic day that you want to stay Away from me?? What happened that when you take a step closer to me, you take More than that back?? Tell me Rahul"
I hold his hand "Please"
"I-i don't know Priya, i-i am very Insecure"
I knitted my brows "insecure?? About what??"
"About how i am"
I don't know what he is saying
"I-i am Middle class and yo-you, you are Rich, very Rich, yeah it didn't matter me before but it began to do when on the trip......."
Rahul's POV
Flashback
Omg, omg i just can't believe that, that Priya and i Pecked Eachother, yeah it's accidentally but still.
My smile isn't wiping from my face, i am Walking towards the food Corner to buy coke and some food for Myself and my 2 Idiot buddies.
But then i came to an halt when a heard boy, the voice is familiar.
I went in and saw Tarun, my classmate, down on his Knees Proposing Rishika, she is actually 2 years younger than him. I have seen them together and they even looked like couple.
"I really love you Rishika, will you accept my love" He said and i looked around, thank god he selected a place where no one is walking.
I know it's not right to eavesdropping but what can i do, i am enjoying this proposing thing.
"I am so sorry Tarun it's a no from me"
Poor Guy.
He stood up "but why?"
"See Tushar, we aren't compatible for eachother, i am rich you are middle class. Their are sweepers to clean my house but in yours you do it yourself. You repeat your clothes all the time but i don't, you don't have a high standard of living but i do, your house is only 50% of mine"
"But we can stay happily in that 50%, i will love you all my life"
"With love you can't fill my dreams, my comfort Tarun and you believe or not every girl wants a boy to be rich from her own Family and even her parents will approve to marry a girl in highly rich house better than their own, it is A reality Tarun, except it"
Tarun began to cry "but what about the closeness we shared?? What about the things you shared with me but not anyone else"
"You are mistaking Friendship with love Tarun and please stop your boring lecture"
"You think it's a boring lecture??"
"Yes, obviously, umm can you please Excuse i have to pay for the bill for food, I don't do contribution like you do and i am sorry once again" Saying that she left Tarun.
He fell on his knees and began to cry.
I held his shoulder and he hugged me "why does money Matter in Love Rahul?? Why???"
I don't have any answer for that.
"Stop crying Tarun"
"How can i?? She dumped me and left me broken because i am not capable for her"
I gulped, soon Yash and Shrey also came searching for me and then found Tarun in that condition and some how made him stop crying.
Flashback ends
"..now you tell Priya, how am i compatible for you??? You have everything which i don't, for the first time i sat on the most comfortable sofa in your house, first time I lived in a house which is no less than a palace and for the first time for 10 days, i ate food which was more than Chappati's and One Or two Vegetables which is made in our house"
She kept listening so i continued "and you can't find all this in my house, Yes i can earn and then provide it to you but still what's true is true, i can replace the Sofa in my house, i can replace the bed and i can even build a house but all this will take more than 5 years after getting job and i can't see you uncomfortable because of me Priya, i just can't"
Tears began to flow from my eyes.
I looked down at our joined hands and she spoke "and that's why you didn't wanted me to be close to you?"
I looked into her eyes and nodded
"That's why you are sorry for Kissing me?"
I nod again.
A tear slipped from her eyes "you think i am a gold digger?"
"No!" I said immediately
"Then how did you thought that materialistic thing will be more important to me than Someone's Feelings??? How could you think me like that girl???? How could you think that i want only materialistic comfortable in my life???"
I looked down
"Did you ask me first about it?? Did you?"
I shook my head
"Then how could you conclude everything yourself??"
"I don't know i just thought-"
"You thought the other way because of the words which that stupid girl said"
I didn't speak anything.
She cupped my face and made me look at her "Rahul, for me Comfort is not that sofa or bed, my comfort is in your arms, when you hugged me, it was the most comfortable place for me, I don't want a big house to stay in, i am happy in a house where there is loving parents and A loving partner, that makes a house complete Rahul, even if it is small, I don't want a servant to clean the house, i can clean it myself, i am that energetic you know and even if you don't provide me with that bed and all and a big house, i will be happy with you"
My heart skipped a beat with her words which i can feel is directly coming from her heart.
"And for a daughter, Parents definitely see a men's job but they also see his family nature and his own nature! What if a person is rich enough but don't have manner to speak politely with Elders? Who doesn't know how to respect womens? Who doesn't cares to love you?? You will beat you when he wants because he is angry at you?? Will a parent send their daughter at such kind of house?"
I shook my head
"Then?? Why and what are you scared about"
A tear slipped down from my eyes "what if what you Feel for me is Infatuation?"
She smiled and rubbed my tear "no! It's definitely not Infatuation"
"How?"
"Because i love you " she said and my heartbeat increased
"Wh-what??"
"I love you Rahul, i love how you are even if middle class, which i didn't even notice because i saw how rich you are from your heart and i fell in love with that richness" she smiled
I couldn't help but hug her, i hug her so tight, fearing to lose her.
"Please don't leave me Ever Priya"
She hugged me back "i will never ever leave a person like you, who is so incomprehensible"
I chuckled "i love you Priya, i love you so much"
I felt her grip tight over me and we stayed like that i don't know for how long until we heard someone clearing his or her throat.
We broke the hug and looked at the direction of voice.
And there we go, it's my sister and Aarav Bhai, smirking looking at us.
Priya and i looked at eachother and then down.
We began to move past them
"Where do you think you both are going?" We heard Bhaviksha and Stopped
I looked at Priya, she Raised her brows at me.
I blinked at her and told to relax through that. She nodded slightly.
We turned around to face both of them.
"Priya what were you both doing?" Bhaiya asked
"Nothing bhai"
"Nothing?? He was hugging you and you let him hug you??" Bhai glared at me and i gulped
"What were you trying to do with my sister?" He asked
"Nothing Bhaiya, we just hugged, nothing more" i grinned sheepishly
"Nothing more, so you were planning to even kiss her?" He asked folding his arm
"No Bhai, Rahul wasn't trying to do that-" Priya was cut off by Bhaiya
"You stop there itself Priya, i am Talking to Rahul"
"Take it Normal Aarav" Bhaviksha said
"Normal?? It's about my sister Bhaviksha, so i won't take it normal" he said frowning at her
"Okay then carry on" Bhaviksha said surrendering
I looked at Bhaviksha and asked through special eye contact won't you help me??
I can't when Aarav is Angry, you are gone brother.
I gulped reading her eyes.
"So Rahul" i turned to look at Bhai "do you love Priya?"
I looked at Priya, she looked at me.
I nod.
"Speak"
"Hunh?"
"Speak yes or no!"
"Yes, i love her" i said confidently
"Will you keep her happy all your life?"
"Yes, i will"
"Then what's the Problem Carry on what you both were doing" Bhai said and My eyes widened even Priya and even our mouth were open wide.
Aarav Bhai looked at Bhaviksha and she Looked at him and burst into laughter.
They laughed like anything.
"Oh god look at their Faces Aarav" Bhaviksha said holding her stomach.
I am still in shock.
They composed themselves and then Bhaviksha said "now you both get to know, who it feels when you tease us" she said pointing To herself and Bhai.
"Sorry Rahul, i was just teasing you, you know tit for tat but i am surely seriously about the last two questions i asked " he said keeping his hand on my shoulder
"You almost give me an Heart attack Bhaiya" i said keeping my hand on my heart.
They both chuckled.
"Okay come down, everyone is calling, we are leaving" Bhaviksha said
"So soon" came Priya's voice and we looked at her
"I-i mean, you a-are leaving this soon di?"
"Me or Rahul?" Bhaviksha raised her brows and Priya blushed
Gosh i want to kiss her.
We all Chuckled.
"There you all are" we heard Uncle Behind Bhaviksha and Bhaiya
"Come fast, Everyone is Waiting"
We all nodded and began to walk.
We reached the gate but Priya and i kept looking at Eachother.
Priya's POV
What yaar he is leaving so soon, i wanted to kiss him, you know i have seen in movies, when girl and boy confess their love for eachother, they kiss after that but no! I am not that lucky either.
They began to move out when when mom said "Priya please go and Check if the gas stove is off or not"
Wow now i am not even lucky to leave him till gate.
I simply nodded and walked in the kitchen.
I was about to go out when i thought what's the need now, let's move up to the room.
As soon i reached my room Someone held my waist and cupped my mouth
I looked at the person and i am shocked it's Rahul.
He removed his hand and before i could ask anything he Pressed his lips with mine.
I smiled in the kiss and began to kiss him back.
Butterflies began to erupt in my tummy.
The kiss was slow, romantic.
We moved our lips in sync with eachother.
I pulled him more towards me to taste him more.
He sucked on my lips slowly. God i am loving this.
He moved back and we breathed heavily "Happy?" He whispered
"More than ever"
He moved back and took out a book from my shelf which is actually maths reference book of 11th which he gave me and stood Infornt of me "i came to Take my reference Book....sorry.....kiss" he pecked my lips, then smiled and went away leaving me all blushy blushy.
I kept my hand on my heart "please Calm down"
Rahul's POV
I climb down grinning like an idiot.
Uncle said "got the book?"
"Yes uncle"
"Okay then, bye and take care"
"Sure uncle bye"
I walked up to the car and sat in waving at everyone for one last time.
I am still Grining like anything.
"You took to long to Bring Book" i heard Bhaviksha
"She was searching for it, that's why it took time" i said Shrugging
"Hunh!! Ek chumma tu mujhko udhar dai de (Give me a kiss as a loan)
Aur badle mein, aur badle mein UP Bihar lai le (And in exchange take Uttar Pradesh and Bihar from me) " Bhaviksha began to sing and i glared at her
"What?? Mom dad, did you hear this song when you were young?" She asked
"Yes we did" Dad said
"Oh really?? So did you sing it for mom?" She asked
Mom blushed "Shut up Bhavi"
Everyone laughed.
I took a deep Breath and looked out of the window when the car began to move.
Finally I don't have to stay Away from Priya!!
I am such a stupid, idiot, i could have asked her and expressed my feelings.
Why did i even came to an conclusion before thinking??
"Because you are dumb" i heard Bhaviksha
"What?"
She nod
"We will talk about this later" She said and the i waited for the Time to reach home.
â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢â¢
When we reached home Bhaviksha came in my room.
"Rahul?"
"Yeah?"
"Actually i heard your and Priya's Conversation on terrace, you know when you were confessing"
"What?"
"Yeah"
"You know it's bad manner"
"I know but i just wanted to say if you wouldn't have had ignored her, she wouldn't have experienced what she did for you, that longing, that care and everything, what happens, all happens for some good Reason and i am so proud that for her happiness you were even ready to break your heart, in other words this is true love"
"Just like you and Aarav Bhaiya??"
She shook her head "no! Your love is different from ours, your love is Incomprehensible" She winked and went with a smile.
I smiled too.
