CHAPTER 4 - THE MISUNDERSTANDING
CRUSHSHIP 🎡
"Hit me like a ray of sun burning through my darkest night. You're the only one that I want. Think I'm addicted to your light."
TIME - 1 am midnight
â¢~Author's POV~â¢
Dhruv received a message from Geet and he opened the chat to know what exactly is the reason.
The message started with "Aapko kya laga ki aap apni handsome shakal se kisi bhi ladki ko fasa doge?Muje nahi pata tha ki aapke iss mukhote ke piche aisa chehra hai."
Dhruv was in silence for a minute and rechecked the name of the account to confirm. Yes, The message was from Geetanjali , sent1 hour ago.
[ What made you think that you can use any girl just because you are handsome?I did not know that you have another side behind your mask on your face?]
He murmured to himself, "Ms.shaktawat aisa kyu keh rahi hai,maybe misunderstanding hui hai."
He took a deep breath and sat on his chair "Ms.Shaktawat, I guess aapko misunderstanding hui hai." he started waiting for her reply after sending it.
[ I guess you have misunderstood.]
It was 1.45am and he heard a notification on his phone.
He opened the chat and started reading Geet's message ,"O really,Mr.Deora, aapko kya laga ki aap Avantika aur Kavya ko apne jaal me fasa doge, mujhe nahi pata tha aap inke contact mai ho, fir bhi aap anjaan banne ka natak kar rahe the ,WOW, cricketer k saath actor bhi ho. Arre haa! Aap books mai drama sab padte honge,kya planning ki hai.
Taaliyan..."
[ What do you think you can trick Avanti and Kavya .I never knew that you are in touch with them, even after this you are acting like an innocent. WOW,you are an actor besides
being a crickter.O yes!You you would have read dramas in your books. I must appreciate your planning skills .
A Huge round of applause !!!.]
"Ek second matlab ye mujpr galat iljaam lag raha hai" he closed his mouth by his hand after he realized that Geet is blaming him.
[Hold on,that means she is blaming me for no reason.]
Dhruv started to type with a seriousness visible on his face ,
"Listen,aap bina jaane kuch bhi nahi bol sakti.Ham teeno bhi mile ek baar ,apni behno se kal subah puch lena ki ham kaha kab kese mile. Aap shanti se baat karoge toh mai answer bhi du aapke questions ke , par aap toh bas bina soche bole jaa rahe ho. I don't think ab kuch kehne k liye bacha hai.Good Night."
He sent this and thought of not replying to her . He lay on his bed and after sometime he fell asleep.
[You can't blame me without knowing anything.We have met only once. Tomorrow morning,You can ask your sisters where, how and why we have met.I would have clarified
all your doubts if you have talked patiently. But I don't think there is nothing left to explain.]
On the other hand,Geet read the last message sent by him and promised herself that she won't let anyone use her sisters just because they are young.

THE NEXT MORNING
GEET'S HOME
Geet's father informed that they were going back to Hyderabad within two days and asked
them to pack their luggage.All the three sisters were in Kavya's room to help her in packing.
Kavya sitting on her bed with a plate of fruits, was giving orders to Avanti regarding her things where they are kept actually.
Suddenly,Kavya and Avanti realized that Geet was in her angry bird mode as soon as she returned carrying Kavya's belongings.
Kavya placed the plate on her bed and started helping her sisters. Kavya winked at Avanti and they both nodded to divert her mind. Geet was folding clothes to pack.
"Geet jija, aapki friend Shivu jija bahut ache hai. Thankyou aapne baat karai." said Kavya .
Geet nodded and suddenly stopped for a second and looked at Kavya," Tuje kese pata unka nickname Shivu hai?"she asked.
"Woh toh Mr.Cricketer ne bataya tha kal"
"Tum dono ko kitni baar kaha hai ki anjaan ladko par trust mat karo and kal kya smile ke sath baat kar rahi thi,pakka tum dono mujse kuch chupa rahi ho.Tell me kese jaanti ho tum dono" she yelled on her sister.
[Your friend is really sweet.Thank You for letting us talk with her]
[How do you know her nickname is Shivu?]
[Mr.Cricketer told us yesterday]
[How many times I have told you both that never trust an unknown guy and why were you smiling when you were talking with him yesterday.Are you both hiding something
from me?Tell me how you know him?]
Avanti gave her a glass of water , asked her to drink because she knows this is the only way to stop her from bursting in anger and she said by making Geet sit on bed
"Jija,there is nothing like that.Last year, aap udaipur the mumma ke saath during navratri .Mai, aapsa aur Kavya Jodhpur gaye the nanisa ke waha."
" Toh kya uska.aage bol. Don't test my patience", Geet told her to continue.
"Tab Dhruv ke ghar koi function tha , kuch kaam se waha aaye the. So Anand mamosa se milne aye the woh ,so hum mile woh bhi sirf 45 mins ke liye.Tab Shivangini jija unke sath nahi the bas woh aur Meera aunty yaani unke mumma the. Uske baad kal hi baat hui woh bhi unexpected tha." Avanti described the meeting with Dhruv.
" Matlab tumhare paas koi contact tak nahi tha?" asked Avanti after she realized what she did last night.
" NO JIJA. WHY AM I GONNA LIE TO YOU?", said Avanti, keeping the things in the bag.
[Last year, During navratri ,You were with mumma at Udaipur and Kavya,dad and I visited maternal grandma house at Jodhpur]
[So what? Say further]
[That time, they had a function so they visited there due to some work..So they thought of meeting Anand Uncle. That's how we met for only 45 mins. Shivangini wasn't with them . We met only Meera aunty ( his mother) and Dhruv. After that day ,we have talked to him yesterday which was unexpected]
[That means you didn't have any contact till now.]

~â¢GEET'S POVâ¢~
I have realized what mess I have created. I asked my sisters to do their work and I informed them that I was going to take my afternoon nap.
I went to my room ,closed the door,switched on the ac, took my phone and covered myself fully in the blanket. I did this so nobody can disturb me as they would think I am sleeping .I opened the instagram app and opened Dhruv's chat.
"Geetanajali, your overthinking along with your trust issues will kill you one day. What if he informed to Virendra Bhabha as they are friends, then he will inform mumma and aapsa.Everyone will start questioning you."
" Wait, what Dhruv has thought about me? I should apologise to him right now."
Thank God he didn't block me. I took a deep breath and clicked on his profile. I thought about sending him a request so at least he would notice that I want to talk to him .
I scanned his profile through my eyes .
47 following,124 followers and 2 posts. I checked his bio and it said, "Jaipur,India".
I tapped on his profile picture to check.
He had kept this picture as a profile.
That's it? Nothing else. I tapped on the follow button and was waiting for him to accept it so I can know he has his phone with him.
After 20-25 mins,
I got a message from him.
" Should I delete it?"
Is he talking about my request, Geetanajli ,use your mind to grab his attention so you can say sorry.
I typed " There is no need to delete your account because of me." I know that move is childish but I have to do it.
"I know you are trying to make me stay online,"he replied
" There is nothing like that,I just want to say Sorry.I should not have behaved in this manner with you." I sent and he have seen this within 10 seconds .
"Do one thing ,just scroll up and see what exactly you have said the last night?" I read this and I was not able to control myself as he was trying to make me feel guilty but I have to do this because I can't risk letting this matter go as such.
"See, I just did it because I was worried about my sisters . I can't let anyone to hurt them by using their trust .That's the only reason I did say all this to you. I had no idea what had actually happened. Please , you have a sister as well, you would have done the same.Just give it a thought about this, I know I have misunderstood you. I am really sorry "
"Okay, Sorry . I should have understand it." he replied after 5 minutes.
"Understand,but what?"I screamed and typed just after receiving the previous mesage because I wanted to know what he was thinking .
"You did this for your sisters, don't take me as wrong but you should have asked me or your sisters first what exactly the matter is.Then you might have decided what you have to do.Listen,I am not the kind of a guy who will use girls as an object. I do have a sister and I won't let any other girl feel uncomfortable because of me. If I had bad intentions I could have sent you a request multiple times or I would have texted you the same day when we met ,but I didn't do that. So try to understand and see how people are. I am sorry once again."
I read this paragraph in the form of his text. He said any other girl that means he has his ladylove that's the reason he has this mindset of not using a girl as an object .
"Should I consider that you have forgiven me?If not, I am so sorry once again, Mr.Deora", I sent this considering it as final message from my side.
" I would have accepted your apology, but don't call me Mr.Deora. It makes me feel like a man who is in his 30s."
"Even though you are calling me Ms.Shaktawat, I didn't say anything."
"Ok,fine. As you wish. By the way , I must say you have an eagle eye" After reading this message, I began wondering why he is comparing my eyes to an eagle.
"AN EAGLE EYE?",
" Though you looked at me only for 10 seconds at Jodhpur, you were looking away during the video call, still you called me Handsome."
I must say he won't let me win in this. He even counted the seconds. He noticed it what I did in the video call
"Okay, I have some work to do. Take care.", I texted ending our talk.
He replied,"If you don't mind, Can we be friends?"
This message gave me butterflies in my stomach and I texted after a minute , " I would have but I don't want to trouble your girlfriend who is in Jaipur."
"Not in Jaipur, my girlfriends are in my room."
GIRLFRIENDS? LIKE FOR REAL. IN HIS OWN BEDROOM.? BEFORE FEW MOMENTS HE SAID HE DON'T CONSIDER GIRLS AS AN OBJECT. I WAS SHOCKED.
I didn't say anything for the next 2 mins. I started imagining him surrounded by so many girls. Stop, I saw him typing again on our chat . At the same time, I made my mind to block him.
"Hey,Don't get me wrong before you start your imagination. I don't have any girlfriend in my life. My books and novels are my girlfriends. I am fond of reading books so I have a cupboard full of books in my room.My books aka my gfs won't mind if we become friends.
So, Can we?"
I read this and replied ,
" Will let you know soon." with this I kept my phone away and slept because afternoon naps are part of my routine..
