BACK TO PRESENT

IN INDIA

AUTHOR'S POV

"Ufff" shravya said as she had just arrived at the airport of india that to after 5 years, she was so excited to meet her parents yet she was feeling an unknown fear

Shravya had worn a mask with a cap so no one would recognize her as she was in no mood to interact

Soon she spotted her driver and sat inside the car removing her mask ,finally taking a long relaxing breath

"Madam..kuch chahiye aapko?" Her driver asked and she shook her head as no (Madam..do you want anything?)

He started driving the car whereas shravya was looking outside

Anyways she was here in india again and the beauty of this place had doubled

She kept on looking outside, suddenly her college came infront of her eyes and she gulped hard

She can saw how she was running outside the gate after vidyut had proposed her

Her thoughts broke when she heard her driver's voice

"Madam we are here" he said and opened the car door for her

And there it was,the mansion she bought for her parents

She was a middle class girl, and her hardworking nature had made her successful in her life

"How are you beta!!" Her mother,kritika quickly came and hugged her tightly,her eyes were numb

"We missed you alot..rani" her father,dev said and he gave a pet on her head

Shravya hugged both of them tightly before showering kisses on both of their cheeks

"How skinny you have became yaar" her mother asked backing off and looking at her from head to toes

"You was not eating well..rani?" Her father asked,his voice showing how worried he was

"Can I get something to eat them?" Shravya asked both of them and kritika nodded punching shravya's cheeks slightly

"Now see...how fat you will became after only one week" her father said and shravya just shook her head slightly

As she entered her house ,her eyes glistened as the person standing infront of her was someone unexpected

"Chotiii" he said and hugged her tightly

"Bhai!!! When did you came back from New York??" Shravya asked being all shocked

"Just some minutes before you arrived" he said and expected shravya to slap on his face slightly but was shocked when she didn't

"Beta..get freshen up first and come to eat your lunch" maa said and she nodded

Usually she used to jump in excitement and ask what dishes maa made..and now..umm leave it..she might be tired

Her brother, Raghuveer kapoor thought to himself

Soon she changed into comfy clothes and came downstairs

As soon as she entered the kitchen the aroma of her favourite dishes was filled into it

She sat on the chair with a blank expression

"What happened beta..you didn't liked the dishes I made?" Her maa asked raising one eyebrow

"Ofcourse I liked them maa" she said softly

"Then why are you not crying happy tears?" Raghuveer asked as a joke but was in literal disbelief when she didn't fight back and silently started eating the food

Raghuveer looked at him father whereas he was also looking at him at the same time,they shared a confused eye contact

"Well...you even forget to inform me when you visited new York" raghuveer complained

"I..I forgot" she said and Raghuveer rolled his eyes

"I thought you even forgot you had a brother" Raghuveer said bluntly as his focus diverted onto his food

"Sorry.." she said in low tone and everyone looked at her as if they heard a ghost

"Are you okay..or you are drunk?" Raghuveer asked as he widened her eyes

"Why..." shravya asked even though it was all well observed that she was not interested in talking or having even a small conversation

"You said sorry? Before you used to complain rani..what happened to you now?" Her father asked which left shravya speechless

"I'm done...I have to leave for shoot" shravya said and stood up from the table

Kritika and dev looked at Raghuveer with a worry in their eyes,but he gave them a ensured look making them believe that he would fix everything

Shravya wore a sky blue mini skirt set, made a high point tail with minimal makeup,elegant jewels,a smart watch and last thing was comfortable shoes



She was about to leave but Raghuveer came out of nowhere and stopped her

"Let me drop you" he said and shravya nodded her head slightly

They were finally inside the car

"You should have taken rest..." Raghuveer broke the silence in the car

"..I mean it's not necessary to always work and burden yourself" after a pause he continued,his gaze was fixed on road

"No worries bhai" her voice came out colder than ice and Raghuveer looked at her and saw her looking outside the window

"Your presence doesn't feel warm anymore..In which darkness you are trapped choti?"

He asked in a deep tone and saw shravya's expressions changing,the way her face became tensed and her eyes was little moist

"Stop talking nonsense bhai" she said after taking a long breath

"Do you think..your changed behavior is unnoticed by us?" He asked as his gaze shifted towards the road infront of his again

"Everything changed with years..as well as me..I'm an introvert now" she said with a forced smile

"Its hurts to see you like this choti..literally my heart aches very badly when you doesn't argue back with me" Raghuveer said,his voice had a hint of sadness

"We reached" Shravya said and stepped out from the car

"Bhai..by the way..the wallpaper to had set on the mobile with bhabhi looks good" she said from outside and left whereas Raghuveer was a blushing mess by now

"Literally..I can hide anything from anyone but not her" he whispered with a smile but soon it vanished

"And still she can hide anything..even her own emotions from me" raghuveer whispered again with a sad expression

Shravya entered the school of music club and saw many familiar artist and also some students

"Good afternoon" they greeted her and shravya nodded with a smile that didn't reached her eyes

"So..let's start main topic..how to improve your vocals"she started explaining the students and the lecture went good

Then she entered the music recording room and as always ended up recording a masterpiece

"Saara man autograph" one of the student came with a book and pen in her hands

But shravya took out her special dark brown pen from her pocket

She signed on it and was about to leave

"Mam" the same student,she called her

"Mm?" Shravya asked

"Why you always sign your autograph with a brown ink pen?" She asked and waited her to answer

"Its my favorite color" shravya said with a weak smile and left from there

The color of his eyes..ofcourse it would be her favourite

LATER IN THE EVENING

Shravya was sitting on the rooftop with a mug of coffee in her hands,sipping it one by one and reading one book side by side

"Shravya" her heart dropped as she recognized the voice

Her body freezed,she did not have any courage to look at the direction from which the sound was coming from

Her lips parted to take a long breath and she slowly looked towards it..him

There he was..standing infront of her again

His gaze was hot enough to bring sweats on her forehead

Slowly he started coming closer towards her ,her pupils were slowly becoming bigger and bigger after every second.

"Don't stare" he said in his deep voice and all she could remember was how he had said the same words when they had met unexpectedly for the very first time

She quickly looked away. She wanted this to be a dream..yes shw wanted to face him but not at the same time

"Will you marry me?" The words escaped from his mouth slowly and she widened her eyes

How can he ask her this? When he doesn't even knew anything about her

After overthinking for 5 fucking years, she had already discovered that he would always think her as his brother's murder..it doesn't matter even if God come and tell him I'm not

"I love you Shravya...bohot pyaar karta hu tumse.." he said again stepping closer but shravya back stepped

"I..I need...some time" she said and was about to leave but he held her wrist

"You know our parents also know eachother" he said without looking at her while she softly pulled her hand away

Without saying anything she came downstairs as he also followed her

What's going on in my life??? God is trying to make my life precious by gifting him to me or a nightmare??? She thought to herself but soon when she looked up she was shocked to see all her family members and his ones getting along

"Look look maddy..she's here" kritika said looking at shravya and madhavi also gave her a smile

"Rani...four of us were college friends..can't imagine for the renewal like this" her father dev said as he side hugged Vijay

Shravya looked at the other side to spot Raghuveer with a man maybe same age as her brother

"Meet Rishi malhotra..your future husband's big brother and my New York buddy" Raghuveer said to his sister and rishi greeted shravya and also introduced naina as his wife to her

Suddenly someone hugged shravya's leg

"Kushant!!!" Naina gave him a glare as he was the one who was hugging his chachi's leg

Shravya slowly raised kushant up in her arms and sweetly touched him nose with her index finger

"Chachi!!" He screamed in happiness and kissed her cheek

And after 5 years, for the first time shravya blushed

"You really are a angel..like chachu said" he said pointing at his chachu and everyone looked at him

Him all being embarrassed cleared his throat

"Look kitty..we will not force shravya to get into this marriage but my son Sidhaant really likes her,he even told me that he waited for her for 5 years" madhavi said looking at kritika with a smile and kritika nodded

Madhavi slowly went towards shravya and held her hands

"Please don't say no..I want you as my daughter in law" madhavi said looking at shravya with a soft gaze and she nodded slightly

"Let her take her time" rishi said who was standing with a glass of cold drink in his hand near by

"I'm so excited to get such beautiful devrani" naina said looking at shravya while she gave her a small smile

"Okay..now we will leave dev" vijay malhotra said to dev

"Why so early?..sit yaar..you had just arrived" dev Kapoor asked

"Aarey..if it was sunday..we would've stayed but we came here during our working hours just to see our bete ki pasand" (The one our son likes)

Shravya looked at Sidhaant but was shocked as he was also staring at her with a love stare

Am I really the one he likes? She thought to herself and gulped hard

Everyone left one by one,also shravya's parents to bid them good bye

Now only shravya was left there along with Sidhaant

"I'm leaving" he said and she just nodded

"Say something" he said and she looked up into his eyes with a questioning look

"Anything..you silence hurts" he muttered,loud enough to be heard by her

Shravya kept on staring as her habbit but this time he didn't stopped her

Sidhaant's lips parted to say something but no words came out from his mouth

She was lost into his eyes and he was lost into her beauty

Her heart started beating loudly when she realised the situation and even moved faster when she heard horns of car from outside

"They must be waiting" sidhaant said and shravya nodded

"But I would not leave until and Unless you tell me to" he said and shravya looked at him in disbelief

"leave..." she said slowly

"Nahi..bikul nahi..noo..more affectionately please" he said with a smirk and she gulped

"Please leave.." she said softly this time and he chuckled

Making her heart beat faster as his dimples were her biggest weakness

"What about Goodbye kiss?" Sidhaant asked coming closer while shravya backstepped

Sidhaant slowly walked away from there and finally shravya took a long breath to calm down herself

She was not understanding the God's assignment

She was not being able to sense that if after this her life would change into something better or more worse

"Nothing..nothing changed..HE IS JUST MORE TALLER THAN BEFORE" she whispered with a smile

Now she would think I really like her..which I clearly don't It is just a part of my plan But poor her..she is not smarter than me

Sidhaant thought to himself as he sat in car ,he looked up at the rooftop..only to spot shravya standing there

She waved her hand up to him as a bye and as a return gesture he blinked his eyes twice with a wide smile

"Now that your romance is over...shall we go?" Rishi bhai asked teasing him while Sidhaant jst started driving the car

After dropping everyone he finally came into his office and soon entered his cabin

"You are here mr boss" Rudraksh asked with a teasing smile

"Hmm" Sidhaant replied

"Anything changed?" Rudraksh asked

"Nothing..nothing changed..SHE IS JUST MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE" Sidhaant said as he was still lost into her beauty

"And you claim to hate her?" Rudraksh said with a scoff while Sidhaant gave him a death glare

"I hate her..that doesn't mean I would call such pretty girl ugly bitch" Sidhaant replied with a calm look as he knew that he might get caught

He just didn't wanted anyone to know except him that he had feelings for her, and that to for 5 years he was not being able to move on from her

The kore he will try to forget her the more he would fall more her

"Is she this pretty now?" Rudraksh asked with a amazement on his face

"You rascal..you have a wife..let me tell sarika" sidhaant said after he felt a pang of jealousy while his poor friend had just asked a simple question

"What happened mr ceo?" They heard sarika's voice who had just entered the cabin

"Your husband is hitting on my fiance" sidhaant said with a smirk while looking towards rudraksh who was pleading him not to lie

Sarika quickly pulled rudraksh closer by his collar

"You are hitting on his fiance?" Sarika asked that when she realised that Sidhaant was talking about his fiance

"Wait wait wait...your fiancee?? How?? When?? Sidhaant you are very very very bad male friend yaar..how can you not tell me huh?" Sarika asked feeling betrayed while Sidhaant sighed after looking at his overdramatic friend.

"See you are still not telling me" sarika said again

"Rud..please kiss her and shut her mouth up" sidhaant said getting completely irritated

Rudraksh told sarika everything

"She's the one who was the murderer of your brother?" Sarika asked

"The reason" Sidhaant said

"Then why are you going to marry her huh?" Sarika asked getting confused

"You stupid gurl..rud tak her out of my cabin" sihaant said while both sarika and rudraksh chaotically went out

"I will make her cry blood tears..make her life worse than trash bin and will make her see how worthless  she is..even if she is not" he whispered but this time his voice was weak

It seems like he wanted to love her but was forced to hate her with his full heart

Kabhi dekha hai kisi deewane ko? Pyaar karna chahta hai usse lekin nafrat karne ko majboor hai

(Have you seen such mad people ever? He wantes to love her but he is forced to hate)
